This a great neighborhood coffee shop. Expect it to be relatively busy later in the morning on the weekends. They have some vegan breakfast options, but I go there for the atmosphere and the big velvety couch in the back corner next to the window, which is lined with beautiful plants. It's the perfect place to curl up with your drink and a book, or use the coffee table to spread out a bit more. I do see people wheeling strollers in to make their orders but there's not really a good place to put your strollers if you want to sit down. They do have a couple of outdoor, sidewalk tables for the warmer weather. Overall, I love this place and if you're just stopping through, or need a place to sit and rest for a minute, do it here.

Love love love this place, is all comfy and aesthetic, really cool place to study and have a nice drink each drink was about $3.75 and $4 we got a cold brew and a matcha drink with oat milk and is the best matcha drink I’ve ever had as a picky eater, is sweet and fresh and I loved it, service is amazing too, I’ll come back when I have the chance

:( what happened to this place? I got a sandwich served with overcooked eggs and a stale bagel. The coffee is still good though, and the seating is nicer than it used to be. I live. Lose so I've given it plenty of chances, don't bother with the food.

Nice open area with comfy chairs. Inviting to sit in and music is quiet enough to talk or work, unlike Starbucks or the smaller coffee places in town. Food isn't served on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and I wish they would alert people online about that tbh.

Great place to get a delicious breakfast sandwich for $6. They have Covid safe outdoor dining. And the coffee is excellent, just the right amount of ice!

By far my favorite almond milk match place in the city. Perfect every time. Sweet spot on south street. The exposed brick, natural light, and great staff makes it a great place to linger.

Customer service over the past month has been lackluster at best. The worker I have had every time I come in near five is cold and literally says three to five words to me when taking my order and walks away silently after. I'm not expecting a royal ceremony when I walk in, but basic customer service is kind of necessary to make the guest feel at least a little welcome.
The coffee is ok as well. Nothing special but not bad.

Cozy cafe, but food is average and very limited decaf offerings for drinks.
Atmosphere: Relatively dim - not my go-to spot for getting work done because it feels a bit cluttered, and also doubles as a place to have conversations, so it feels on the noisier side. Servers are friendly though!
Food: I've tried the shakshuka, and tasted just average - egg was cooked fully, so don't expect runny yolks, and the peppers themselves were okay; A bit on the spicier side.
Drinks: This is a bit particular to me, but because I only drink decaf, I can't enjoy any of their espresso drinks because they don't offer them in decaf. Just as a heads up for any other decaf people out there.
Overall: 3 / 5 - I'd likely go elsewhere in Philly for food, and coffee - nothing especially attracts me to come back, but it's an overall average cafe.

Good coffee and a quaint atmosphere in a very walkable neighborhood. Small but nice menu and the prices are more reasonable than expected from a boutique coffee shop. They offer a few sandwiches and panini as well as pastries in addition to their nice choices of coffee.
Inside the shop are a few tables for sitting and eating and some antique but comfortable couches for sitting and enjoying your coffee. Its tight but not cramped and the staff is friendly.
The neighborhood is filled with little cafes and shops and the sidewalks are always full of people coming and going from any number of activities. Don't expect to find street parking as this is a highly residential area. Be aware that the streets here have different rules for folks with resident parking stickers so pay attention if you are lucky enough to find a spot. If you are within walking distance, the surrounding area is a pleasant walk and well worth the trip.
Four stars for good coffee, good food but just not the amazing experience that force stars should be reserved for.

I think I'll have to go again to get a better feel for it. The lavender lemonade I got tasted absent of lavender, but their iced coffee is pretty good. The hummus bagel I got was okay, but the cucumbers that came with it were half frozen and to be honest the serving seemed a little skimpy and the plate was sloppily put together. Always filled with people on laptops. Overall a decent place to grab a bite, but nothing fancy or extraordinary.
