50 Best Coffee Shops near Lawnside

“Very good coffee thru drive Thru“

“It’s places like this that make me love Philly! This quaint, locally-owned coffee shop is hands down one of the best I’ve been to.

I tried their seasonal German Toffee Latte, and it did not disappoint! The chocolate-chip cookie, topped with sea salt, and the chocolate croissant were both incredible—perfectly balanced sweetness.

I’ll definitely be back and highly, highly recommend!“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“Great coffees and super friendly owner/ baristas!“

“Went for a quick breakfast before heading to the airport. Great experience. Very kind staff, good atmosphere. Bacon egg and cheese was perfectly crafted. Chocolate croissant was phenomenal. Best cortado I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend.“

“Yet another hidden gem in Philly. I came in for the first time today by chance and immediately felt so so so welcomed into the space. It is much smaller of a space than Madis Coffee Roasters (Twisted Grounds has only a few small tables to sit), but the staff is equally as kind, friendly, talkative, and enjoyable to be around. You can quickly tell that the team here has a great rapport with each other, and it makes the atmosphere comfortable and fun to be in. They have super cute merch and engaging conversations. I'm excited for this to be one of my regular haunts in Philly. The manager runs this place like a well-oiled machine.“

“Just visited this little gem today and so glad I did! Sweet & friendly owner, delicious coffee and tea and such a cute atmosphere! 10/10 definitely reccommend 🫶🏽“

“I ordered the sweet potato latte and it was great! The flavor was really good, not too sweet, and the espresso was amazing quality. The inside of the cafe is sooo adorable, but extremely tight and cramped. It’s definitely not the kind of cafe to sit and relax at, but still great nonetheless!!“

“First time there, excellent food.“

“Great Coffee ! Great people! Great Vibe“

“As per always, our eating experience was outstanding in every way. We enjoy bringing friends here, as each and every one of them also enjoys the meal and the service (shout out to Carlos?). Every dish is delicious, there are no wrong picks.“

“I am by no means a coffee snob, I typically stick to a cold brew but the orange cream latte caught my eye and WOW. It’s one of the best drinks I’ve had in my life…dare I see the best I’ve had in my life. Will definitely return to try more of their specials!“

“The perfect corner shop in Philadelphia! Staff made you feel like you were an every day customer and the drinks were amazing! I’m still raving over the rosemary latte and I’m thinking about driving from the DMV just to have another cup! If you’re a crazy coffee addict like me, get in there today!“

“I had a wonderful experience here. Ended up having a great conversation with the owner about community and how we can all support each other as humans. I was there for quite some time so I ended up enjoying both breakfast and lunch. I ordered the bacon and egg sandwich on a croissant, mocha latte, the fruit and Nutella crepe, and the chicken crepe to go for my partner. I enjoyed everything I had in the restaurant though I wish the breakfast sandwich had more than two piece of bacon. My partner said her crepe was delicious as well. I would definitely return and I recommend it to others especially those that love working from cafes. The internet was fast and there were outlets to use.“

“Awesome coffee shop! Tried sunbutter today on a sesame bagel...delightful! Friendly and efficient service in a pleasant atmosphere.“

“yes....great place. chill. good food...and, of course, coffee...“

“1st time there and can’t wait to go back! Great atmosphere, customer service and outstanding food! Loved the variety and unique tacos. Highly recommend. 👍🏻“

“Stumbled upon this place while looking for a coffee shop to work in that was open on LDW. I am SO glad I found this spot! It had the perfect vibes for relaxing or focusing and getting some work done. The drink options are creative and plentiful. I also got the burratina sandwich and it was fabulous. And it was huge! I saved the other half for later.

I found the prices to be very reasonable, especially for the large portion of food. And I love that it appears they import a lot of their stuff from Italy.

I will definitely be back to this gem!“

“An amazing place. Great way to find unique gifts“

“Food is great and prices are super reasonable. Staff is very friendly but they are definitely overworked having to do so much in such a small space with few people. Outside seating actually felt pretty nice, and I was glad I was able to take my dog.“

“Delicious mocha and espresso. One of the best espressos I’ve had in the city. Cute atmosphere. Def recommend“

“I’ve walked by this spot so many times, and it seemed every time I was hungry they were closed (closed on weekends) but today I finally stepped in. I ordered 2 bánh mìs and a Vietnamese coffee. Pete, the owner/operator of the spot was the only one there and we instantly jumped into great conversation about the music scene in Philly back in the late 90s. We ended up knowing a lot of the same people. Philly is a tight knit group. So even before eating the food I was already a fan of this spot. Pete served me his special take on Vietnamese coffee while we talked and he made the sandwiches. The iced coffee was excellent, but different and less sweet than Vietnamese coffee I’ve had in the past. He also used ice cubes made of coffee which was an added bonus for a coffee junkie like myself. After we talked for nearly 20 min, I walked home with my sandwich and WOW! Such a solid bánh mì! I told him to make it like he would make it for himself (spicy) and he knocked it out of the park. I’ll be back and I’ll be bringing all my music friends here when they are in the neighborhood. I highly encourage Olde City residents as well as Philly locals to give this place a try!“

“Super cute and cozy, with a friendly staff. Today was my 1st time there and I grabbed 2 cups of coffee. They have a Nice variety of hot beverages and baked goods. Next time I will definitely try a few of the items a regular customer there suggested when we were chatting. Everything is fresh and coffee is good!! I would definitely recommend this place if you are a coffee lover like me!“

“Absolutely recommended! I’m a London tourist visiting Philadelphia, and I was immediately drawn to this little coffee shop. The staff were super friendly, and the coffee was delicious! A special thank you to one of the customers (with a lovely dog) who kindly offered to pay for my coffee when I only had a card and no cash. That gesture really warmed my heart—thank you! ☺️☺️“

“Good coffee, good pastries, good quiche, nice atmosphere, wonderful staff and owners!“

“The atmosphere, food and services were impeccable! Highly recommend“

“Came and ordered the rose latte with oat milk and a croissant. This iced latte was absolutely delicious. I am already making plans to head back to try the lavender latte. I appreciate good coffee and strong espresso. This place has won me over.“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“I highly recommend the Royal Mile! My husband and I enjoyed a nice coffee date here yesterday. We enjoyed chatting with the worker Matt, who was very professional, welcoming, and helpful. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing, and clean but the coffee is even better. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the decaf options. The decaf pumpkin spice coffee I ordered was so good that I bought a bag of coffee. We can’t wait to go back.

Kid-friendliness: The shop is decorated with fun cartoon illustrations and and Pokémon figurines for kids to find.“

“Dark espresso, full breakfast and lunch options (breakfast sandwiches!), biscotti, coffee cake (done right), nice seating with an antique new york feel. If you ask for a single pump of syrup, the barista will listen. Probably a new favorite coffee house.“

“Hands down my favorite spot to grab lunch in Merchantville! Their sandwiches and veggie bean chili is phenomenal. Love that they’re eco friendly by packaging with paper products and compostable utensils. Highly recommend!“

“Bower Cafe is an absolute gem in Philly! I stopped by during the holidays and enjoyed their Cinnamon Hot Latte Christmas special—it was perfectly spiced, creamy, and gave me all the cozy holiday vibes. I paired it with a chocolate croissant that was flaky, buttery, and downright delicious.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. They really go above and beyond to make you feel at home.

What truly sets Bower Cafe apart is their private room. Whether you’re hosting a podcast, spinning tracks as a DJ, or holding a meeting, the space is beautifully designed and well-equipped for any creative or professional need.

Highly recommend for the excellent coffee, delicious treats, and warm, inviting atmosphere! This is easily my go-to spot in Philly!“

“5 star!! I was very impressed with the coffee!! Got the special of the week, with vanilla syrup, cream and sugar. Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing desserts! (mousse cakes are a speciality!) Plus savory food and great drinks!“

“Hipster spot with mellow vibes (think Crumb on shuffle); limited seating upstairs and outside. Vinyl records also sold here. I had an iced latte with macadamia nut milk, which was excellent - coffee was sharp and almost savory, not watered down with too much milk. A little pricey for what it was ($6+ with tip) but a good treat. Friendly barista and excellent service as well. Love that they open relatively early on the weekends as well!“

“Great service.“

“The peanut butter cold brew coffee was DELISH!! Great flavor. Can’t wait to have it again!“
