“Such a cute spot with amazing coffee! I have grabbed to go coffee from here quite a few times and it doesn’t disappoint. Anything from drip to a cappuccino has been amazing. It is a little bit on the pricier side but the tip is included and the staff is always nice (I don’t mind paying extra for quality coffee)!
The space is quite small (2-3 tables) so I would recommend taking to go unless you’re lucky enough to snag a table (it is full particularly in the mornings). I can tell there are dedicated regulars who go here and I can see why!“

“What a great find! Great place for coffee or coffee and a bite. Iced coffee was exceptional and the egg, cheese, and spicy ketchup bagel was quite tasty. Great vibe. You walk in and immediately feel comfortable, and in another world. It will be one of my regular to go places now. Actually much more than a 5 on all areas.“
“Walking into REN’s feels like stepping into a cozy refuge from the chaos of the outside world. This place is not just a coffee shop, not just a bookstore—it’s a community hub, a creative sanctuary, and a labor of love brought to life by one of the most inspiring owners you’ll ever meet. The owner, is the heart and soul of the place. Their passion for people, literature, and coffee shines through in everything—from the hand-picked book selection to the thoughtfully crafted drinks and baked goods. They know their regulars by name, support local artists and authors, and host events that bring people together in meaningful ways. Whether it's book clubs, charity drives, or just offering a warm smile to someone who needs it, they go above and beyond. The coffee? Phenomenal. Smooth, bold, and consistently delicious. And the pastries and snacks are always fresh, with plenty of local and seasonal ingredients. As for the books—expect a mix of beloved classics, hidden indie gems, and everything in between. It’s the kind of place where you go in for one thing and leave with five (and no regrets). Whether you're there to read, work, meet friends, or just breathe for a minute, this space welcomes you like home. Ren’s coffeehouse/book store doesn’t just mean enjoying amazing coffee and books—it means supporting someone who genuinely uplifts the community. Places like this don’t come around often. Cherish it.“

“You should definitely check out Café Tolia! It's perfect for anyone wanting really good food and coffee in a place that feels warm and welcoming. The vibe is super cozy, making it an ideal spot to just chill out, and everything just looks so pretty! The little details they pay attention to, the friendly service, and the overall lovely atmosphere really made the whole visit a pleasure.“

“Of the many coffee shops in Old City, this is one of my favorites. It has some of the best matcha I've ever had and I love their flavors. Ive heard equally as good things about their coffee. Their butter crossaint is unreal good and generally theyre comparably priced to the area. They also have an awesome patio area where I sat with my furry son for a bit, really great spot overall.“

“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.“

“All around perfect neighborhood coffee bar with a micro shop and personalized vibe. The espresso shot was perfection with more complexity and polish than you sometimes find in smaller shops. Judging by the traffic and the speed of the staff, take-away coffee is the most popular here but there are great nooks to perch in and watch the warm neighborhood come alive in the morning. Highly recommend.“

“We are visuting from Memphis. Randomly stopped in and was amazed with their Vanilla-Chai Latte...a wonderfully complex explosion of exotic flavors. Thank You Jiggy!Wish you were in Memphis too!“

“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.“
“I stopped by Coffee Malem on a trip to South Jersey. It was a lovely experience. The owner, Malem, was very welcoming and helped me to figure out which drink would be most catered to my taste. I ended up getting a specialty latte that was a mix of a pistachio latte and Spanish latte. Not only were the ingredients of the flavors top tier, the coffee itself was high quality and delicious. I will definitely be back here on every single trip down south, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. You won't regret it!“

“I really love the relaxed atmosphere here and the incredible variety. My daughter cannot get enough of the cannolis. I asked her which one of the three highlighted she wanted when I brought her in there yesterday and she said yes please. Lol the staff are so very kind and gracious and attentive, and it is a really really nice place to have in the area and I’m so happy I found it.“

“Really loved this boba spot. It’s super clean, calming, and has a fresh vibe that just feels good to be in. The staff were friendly and quick. I got the signature drink super smooth and not too sweet. Everything just felt well-made and thoughtful. Definitely a new go-“

“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!“

“Ive been here several times, always amazing quality food! The Ethiopian food is really well spiced and tender meat, lots of vegetarian options too. Smoothies, great coffee, and some simple wraps and sandwiches as well. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Nice to eat in but also casual enough to chill if youre coming by yourself. Huge portions, I usually take leftovers. Super close to Rittenhouse Square!“

“Great corner cafe. Craving crepe? You can get it here. Craving unique coffee? You can get it here. Try the lavender latte, it’s delicious. Try the pistachio banana crepe, fresh bananas, not sickly pistachio spread and good size. Only negative - crepe was a little dry. Overall I did not feel terrible after eating it.
Good customer service and fast. Vibe is nice with cozy decorative.“

“So I have been to Philly several times and this restaurant has been on my radar to try. Finally made sure it got included in my culinary trip to Philadelphia. After asking for a recommendation between some didhes I could not decide on...my main and desert, my waiter gave recommendations that did not disappoint. The Carbonara was excellent.and the Budino di Pane scrumptious! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. It was busy and just a little too noisy for me, but if you enjoy the hustle and bustle of an eatery, you will love this restaurant! I recommend and hopefully get to come again on another visit to Philly.“

“I lived in Seattle for almost two decades and will admit to being a bit of a coffee shop snob. The Nook hits so many of my high points. Extremely good locally roasted coffee (in-house!). Amazing baked goods. The cocoa coffee bread must be tried, but leave me a slice! Great staff. If I ever move out of the neighborhood, I'll journey to the Nook for a great cup and bite.“

“This is hands down the best coffee shop in NoLibs. We discovered it over a year ago and have been going at least once a week ever since. I rarely get matcha out because so few places actually use good quality matcha and make it properly, but CNT does all of the above. They have monthly rotating flavor specials for coffee and matcha that are always incredible and made from scratch. The shop is also super dog friendly and our pup literally drags us down the street to go there anytime we are nearby.“

“I used to live in the Philly area and stopped by Green Street Coffee with my brother while visiting! (It’s one of his favs!) Sit and Lucy were amazing— super friendly and welcoming! I got an espresso and it was delish, soo smooth and flavorful. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“Tiny cafe with two very hard working staff. It was a bit of a wait for my coffee and avocado toast but well worth it. The avocado toast was truly beautiful with the caprese garnishes but would have crossed the line into exceptional with some finishing salt. Dining in is limited to a narrow bar and two small outdoor tables but it is a short walk to Rittenhouse square.“

“This is my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! What a way to start off my Birthday! Yes! Today's my Birthday! I only live a few minutes away. I've wanted to come here for a while and today I made it. They did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service is lovely. It's just the vibe that you look for in that cozy neighborhood spot. The price points are just right as well. I'll definitely be making Camellia one of my regular neighborhood go to's.“

“Had the Spring Fling coffee today, IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Never have I had coffee like this. It was robust but mild, with hints of lavender, thyme and pink peppercorns. Absolutely a must have for those that go regularly. I live in NJ so sadly I won’t be here often and I’m sad about that.“

“I kept hearing about this cafe all over TikTok and I am so glad I went. It’s definitely small and gets very packed during the weekend so sitting inside isn’t really plausible. There is seating on the outside tho! I had the coconut matcha and it was definitely one of the best matchas I’ve ever had!“

“Noticed at most Dunkin donuts, including this one, that management needs to explain when to use liquid sugar vs granulated. No reason I should order and iced coffee, watch them desperately twirl the cup on the way to the counter, only to eat a mouthful of sugar.“
