“The employees are so kind and helpful. When I came in with my stockpile of coupons, they took their time to make sure my order got credited for every promotion. As we were about to leave, one of the employees gave us two Munchkins for my restless toddler.The owner was their that day. He was also super nice, and respectful of the employees.I am more of a mom/pop coffee shop kind of person, but I love coming in here as a destination for my walks in the neighborhood! The employees are just so sweet.“
“Ok...so first time at this restaurant. I have to say they knocked it out of the park. The cocktails were wonderful and the food is as authentic as it gets. I'm not an expert in Lebanese food but after doing the tasting menu ? I feel like I am. Three things: (1) make reservations (2) be very hungry because there is a lot of food and (3) bring $$$ because it's a pricey place to dine.Parking: Parking is an issue.“
“The baked goods are SO FRESH we came in at 10 am and got the ham and egg, taro bun, pork bun, danish, and Vietnamese coffee. Everything was so tasty the pork buns and taro buns are the best thing!! Id have an idea of what you want before you go in, theres a lot of options and its a bit of a tight space that gets crowded easily. Pineapple bun isn’t filled I think fyi. Bring cash if you can its just easier and probably cheaper.“
“Absolutely phenomenal experience overall! My first impression was when I spoke with Cara, one of the managers on the phone. She was so positive and kind. My server Riley was outstanding! Kind, knowledgeable, respectful, and downright awesome! The selection of wines and Amaros was excellent. The food was so delicious!“
“We just found this gem last night. The food was fabulous, we tried a few of the different tacos and each one was delicious. The margarita's were on point, definitely try the Green Spicy! The waitstaff and management were very friendly as well. We will definitely be back.“
“Excellent place to eat and drink (coffee, lattes, etc.). Ordered a SEC with 3 eggs ($8) as well as a 16 oz sugar free latte ($4.75). Both tasted great! Park in the tiny lot behind the building on Delaware Street or in front of the building (side entrance and exit) on S. Broad.“
“Persimmon is the loveliest coffee shop in Fishtown. Everything I have tried here is standout. The service is exceptional and the quality is unmatched. I typically enjoy a drip coffee but their seasonal lattes are SO thoughtful and delicious. So much care and attention to detail goes into this place and it shows :)“
“Great coffee, quick, friendly staff, cool decor, really slick looking espresso machine. A little crowded but well-managed. I talked to the barista about his job and I could tell he really takes pride in his work. I got a perfect Americano. They roast in-house. This is the micro brewery of cafe's. The pic is a cool light I saw in there.“
“The best gelato ever! Authentic Italian gelato and I was told they import them from Italy, so this is definitely a place you should visit if you are in the area. Customer service is always great and the quality of ingredients used is definitely top notch. The only downside is that you will no longer enjoy store bought or any other ice cream.“
“Best coffee in the city -- truly perfect every time! It is a tiny space so unless you time it right you probably won't be able to sit. Not a good study/hangout location but great for a coffee on the go. Truly cannot recommend it enough! All the coffee snobs I know adore this place!“
“Absolute best bakery in Philly. Local gem run by the coolest/sweetest couple. Best bagels in the city and you can’t go wrong with anything else. Creative dairy and vegan options including the best croissants I’ve had outside of France. Get in line early if you want the goods!Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan selectionWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“I come here everyday for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I truly enjoy this environment, the food and the service. Glad they’re in the communityParking: Parking is readily availableKid-friendliness: Kid friendly spaceWheelchair accessibility: Building is wheelchair friendly“

“I'm writing this review live from the high top counter facing true West in Shot Tower, watching the yellow leaves fall down from the sycamore tree while sipping on my espresso doble from this baby blue espresso cup with Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing cover in my chorded apple headphones. Okay I don't know if it's actually a sycamore tree but that was the first tree name that came to my head so I let it fly.For full transparency, this is my 2nd time here today and it's only 12:13pm lol so that should tell you everything you need to know.The natural light is flooding in here like that cute girl's DMs getting flooded after she deletes the pics with her boyfriend of 2+ years. Get em up fellas!!There is ample seating in this beautiful open floor plan... hol up let me count..... Okay yeah I counted 32 seats... but don't quote me on that I caught eyes with a few people as I was scanning and it was super awk so I'm not recounting.They make a MEAN Dirty Chai Latte with oat milk, as that is my budded love interest's go-to drink. It's honestly so gas lol I may be a convert from my espresso/black cold brew... but don't tell her that it would go straight to her head and she already be chirping me enough.The staff here always greets me with a smile and has good energy. This is an ideal place to get some work done, sit and read, or take a zoom call with your therapist when in Queen Village. Oh yeah, I read hehe haha :)I could write a whole novel on my newfound love for Queen Village, and I will one day. What a calm, quaint, and character-rich neighborhood this is. I'm obsessed.IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__“
“A neighborhood staple, and a great example of how a cultural melting pot like South Philly offers a cross sample of delicious food from different parts of the world. Neighborhood family-owned and operated. The sausage egg and cheese croissant and fruit pastries are a “
“Charming brunch spot nestled in a corner in Old City. I’d be a regular if I lived locally. Very similar to something you’d find in Alphabet City, NYC. Staff is nice and food was super fresh and flavorful, beautiful and mouth watering presentation. Rating 4 only because no non-dairy options and I was dying for coffee, and my daughter didn’t get her French toast until 4 of our party of 6 were already finished with our meals. Ordered 2 veg omelets, lox Benny, chocolate chip pancakes, blueberry pancakes, and French toast. Sorry no pics of the pancakes. Kids were too hungry. The egg dishes came out first, then the pancakes, with the French toast maybe 15-20 min later. Just need a little more attentive waitstaff but aside from that, great place to eat once you’re served!“
“Incredible service! They're super accommodating with my dairy allergy and made an incredible vegan latte. My boyfriend got the croissant and egg sandwich and said it was perfectly crispy and the eggs and sausage were fresh. Highly recommend!“
“I’ve gone in twice for birthday cakes. I’m horribly last-minute, but luckily they always have already-made birthday cakes for sale which are DELICIOUS. They’re super flavorful without being too much, and they’re beautiful to look at. Plus they can write a message on the cake very quickly. I’m a fan!“
“This place is like a dream! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Firstly, the two women who own it are incredibly kind. I got a coffee and almond croissant, both were delicious! They hand stamp the logo on the cups and write cute inspirational messages on them by hand. They have tons of seating both tables for working and big comfy chairs for reading. I opted for the latter and camped out for 2 hrs. They didn't rush me out and were so sweet when I left.Overall, will definitely be making this a regular spot. Cannot recommend enough!“
“Delightful visit to this bakery! The mocha cake was heavenly—moist, rich in flavor, and with the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate. Paired with their freshly brewed coffee, it was an absolute treat. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the wonderful experience. A must-try spot for anyone looking for quality cakes and coffee. Highly recommend!“
“I had the early gray milk tea with pearl boba and milk foam. It was amazing and they even put it in my reusable 16oz coffee cup!The place is so clean and the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful. I will for sure be back to try other flavors.“
“Recently ordered coffee beans from Nook after doing a bit of research on different coffee shops in the Philadelphia area. Very, very impressed by the quality of the beans as they made an excellent cup of coffee freshly ground in my chemex. Just as impressive as the coffee, however, was the customer service. I received a handwritten note from Mike and Edna thanking me for my order and explaining how they chose to include a sample pack of coffee beans based on the flavor profile of the ones in my order. I have ordered a lot of tea and coffee from different shops across the country and have never experienced such care and attention to detail. I highly recommend you check them out, and I’m looking forward to ordering more from them in the future.“
“Not only are the single serving treats just adorable (I mean a sleeping teddy bear), they are VERY tasty. The cakes are equally delicious, my experience is that they always have a couple of smaller cakes on hand which has saved me in a pinch several times. The team is lovely, friendly and kind. Highly, highly recommend and will continue to be a customer for a long time“
“My favorite coffee place in the gayborhood. They make artisan coffee and eve have ethically sourced brews easily available. Habit has the kindest staff who are incredibly patient and understanding . Dogs are allowed inside which is a huge plus and the pastries are “
“I googled a coffee place. I found this 2 blocks from my nieces apartment. I had my elderly parents with me. They complain everywhere we go. My mom loved the crossiant, arugula, turkey, bacon. My dad loved his ham and cheese croissant. I had an ice cafe latte with almond milk. The only negative for me is I wish they had something healthy like oats or granola for me to munch on.“
“Years ago, my family would frequent The Tasty and always had a great experience. As time progressed, my family changed, and I wasn't sure if I could walk through the door without memories and emotions flooding me. Well, the magic of The Tasty guided me through to make this experience as wonderful as those from the past. Thank you for providing exceptional food, amazing service, and an awesome atmosphere. Until we meet again...“
“My absolute favorite cafe in the neighborhood. They have the best tasting lattes and always have a new and inventive monthly special. My husband and I always look forward to the 1st of the month when they post their newest creation on Instagram! A huge plus is they have incredibly friendly staff.“
“I visited this place and ordered two items: a triple chocolate cookie and a salmon avocado toast.The triple chocolate cookie tastes good, but it has a texture more like a chocolate cupcake, crumbly like cake, in the shape of a cookie ($4.95).The salmon avocado toast is a tasty, ordinary toast, but it only came with one regular-sized slice (was expecting two given the price of $14.95 or $13.95). The expected portion size, in my opinion, did not align with the price.Gets busy in the morning.Dietary restrictions: They offer GF items“
“Very nice hidden gem for a coffee or tea stop. The coffee was great. To be honest the tea was ok. So if I may give the very nice owners a suggestion; choose for very good teas like Damman or Rishi (e.g.). Then also for tea drinkers (or mixed couple as we) they will be even more worth wile to go. And btw; one teabag is probably enough. They also have some pastries, pancakes and panini. Very nice interior with lovely background music. I believe they started not long ago so we wish them good business“

“OMG, I just discovered this little spot tucked away in an office block. Absolutely the freshest food. I had a smoothie, amazing veggie panini and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. The ladies are lovely and service is top notch. All good and will be back when the opportunity “
“Absolutely amazing experience! The matcha latte was honestly the best quality I have ever tasted! All the food we ordered wasn't too sweet, and the matcha flavor itself was delicious! I was wary of a matcha overload, but it was perfect. The atmosphere is adorable too, and the matcha was in a cute green cup. I admire how even the ice cream cone wasn't the generic too-sweet cone. My kid brother loved the stuffed animals, and we will definitely come back!! ?“
“Coming to leave a review because I mistakenly left and forgot to tip! I stopped by while getting an oil change and had my pup with me - couldn’t bring him inside so they kindly took my order and brought it out to me. Such a lovely environment and good coffee- thanks again!“
“I came here for the first time after an otherwise hectic morning and had such a delightful experience. The coffee and quinoa bowl were delicious and I am obsessed with their HUSKEE drinkware, which is made from recycled coffee husks. Everything about this cafe—from the general vibe to the customer service to the art—makes me want to return, and I look forward to my next visit :).“
“Twisted Grounds has become our ultimate neighborhood hot stop – my partner and I can't get enough! Their peppermint mocha is hands down the best, and paired with their incredible pastries (seriously, that cinnamon roll!), it's a match made in heaven. Plus, our dog, Reese is a huge fan of their pup cups, and knowing that all proceeds go to Paws makes it even sweeter. Definitely worth checking out!Vegetarian options: Vegan pastries and alternative milk options“
“I've tried Top Hat Coffee Lounge by the UPenn campus, but I'm glad I discovered this new location! It's definitely hidden within a plaza and is situated within the walkway as you exit Saks Fifth Avenue. While the space is small, there is still plenty to order in terms of drinks and several pastries as well. The staff greeted us with a very warm welcome and was patient while we decided on our drinks. My friend and I both ordered oat matcha lattes, which were delicious and tasted like high-quality matcha as we were told :) The added perk is that he did not charge us for substituting our milk with oat milk, so thank you for that!“
“My partner booked Le Cat Cafe for my birthday and it was AWESOME! The staff is super sweet and knowledgeable, able to answer all your questions about the kitties, and helped my partner set up the food and beverage we brought in. There are SO MANY ADORABLE CATS, and I was able to play with/pet/admire all the sweeties. Highly recommend visiting, as they do very important work, between finding kitties their forever homes to TNR work.“
“For true coffee snobs this is the real deal. They care about the coffee, and take the time to make it right. The cortado was the right balance of creaminess and smooth, and on the bright side with lots of citrus for those who like that in a roast. My friends had a latte, and a strawberry matcha oatmilk latte, all reportedly delicious. Note that if you like a darker, more chocolatey roast this might not be the place for you.“
“Love this place and their soft serve! I like that they have their standard flavors, ube and matcha and two other seasonal flavors in rotation. Ube and matcha are must trys, I also really like the hojicha, and during the fall they had pumpkin spice and in the summer Thai ice tea. I've gotten their drinks as well but typically go here for their soft serve“
“We checked out the Ground Up Cafe & Coffee shop last week in South Philly.This a great little coffee shop on East Passyunk. The decor was simple and fun with just a hint of an European vibe. Bistro seating was available inside and outside. It was very comfortable overall.The menu offered many choices from prepared sandwiches to baked goods. I wasn’t planning on eating, but then I saw scones - I had to try one. Cranberry - and it was delicious! The coffee was also very good (definitely made note of that for the next time I am in the neighborhood). The barista was also very pleasant.This is a great café to try while out and about shopping on East Passyunk. I’ll be back!#trustkj“
“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“
“What a great spot. The soup dumplings were unreal. Fresh hot and full of flavor. The scallion pancakes were thin and crispy cooked to perfection. The ginger sauce to dip in was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. I added a little chili oil to spice it up and took it to the next level. The pork bun was soft and full of flavor. I've never seen one so big in my life. A must try and I will be back for sure.“
“The outdoor seating area in the rear of the restaurant gives you the feel of hanging out in someone's personal garden hideaway.Parking: The restaurant is located in a very busy section of the city, very close to both I-95 and 76 highway systems.“
“Exceptional coffee shop if you like real coffee. Ordered a coffee just before they closed and they didn’t have anything on drip ready or fresh but had made plenty for a previous pour over and got some of their treehouse blend. Fantastic. I buy their beans online. Also highly recommend. They have some incredible tasting notes. Also very comfortable space at the time I went, not overcrowded or loud.“
“We stopped in for brunch after a weekend run workout. I was initially shocked at how small it was as I thought it was more of a sit down place. While they do have limited (like 4 or 5) seating, it primarily is a take out place. Do NOT hold that against them as both takeout and dine in food is A-Maz-ing!I went with the Caprese Avocado Toast and a large tea. Very fresh ingredients. Clearly patiently assembled. Most importantly, tasty! The chai tea had a hint of cinnamon and was served in a nice big cup at just right temperature.They do not really have "table service", again think limited seating. However, the staff behind the counter are patient, friendly, and polite.After enjoying my meal, I got something extra to-go! As such, I clearly recommend you stop by. I know I'll be back again soon.“
“really cute bubble tea/coffee establishment! i have always heard of this place but never got to check it out until recently and it's becoming one of my favorite shops. i tried the white coffee with coffee jelly and it's amazing. it definitely has a strong coffee flavor (i think vietnamese coffee), so if you're in need of a caffeine boost, i recommend coming here. i originally wanted to try the egg coffee, but they told me they didn't have it. i tried checking their online ordering system for a couple days and it seems like they haven't had it in a while. i've been enjoying egg coffee a lot recently from other places and i was a bit disappointed that they didn't have it, but i hope it comes back soon! the atmosphere is also very chill if you want to do some work or hang out with friends. overall, i recommend it and would come back soon.“
“Without using wildly fancy ingredients, odd marketing gimmicks, or stupidly elevated prices, the folks at Middle Child have managed to perfect the art of the humble sandwich. Thank goodness for my wallet they aren't closer to where I work.“
“202303&12Great little coffee shop! I bought the beans from the store and loved them when I got home. I drank several seasonal special coffees and loved them. My coffee expert friends also loved them. Don’t miss it if you pass by.My coffee snob friend loves this place. I know nothing about coffee and I love it as well so this is your sign to stop by today!“
“My husband and I popped in about a half hour before they closed. Loved the space, I can’t wait to come back and sit down and relax. Coffee is awesome! Even before they closed it tastes great, and the sizes are amazing!! Probably one of the only coffee shops I’ve been too that gives you a true large size ! We were really happy about that. Worth the money !“
“Lovely little neighborhood coffee spot. Delicious coffee, great service, cute atmosphere....and it always smells *amazing*!I can't speak to the bakery section due to a gluten allergy, but my friends who have eaten here say the food is really good!“
“A coffee Oasis for this area. Easy to find, just look for the Yellow Door. Barista friendly and knowledgeable, this Roaster has fun names for their beans, happily to take a few home to Chicago. Had a properly made Cordado in a glass ?, wife also enjoyed her Tea from NYC.“
