50 Best Coffee Shops near Ardmore

“Love this place! The food is OUTSTANDING and very authentic pastries. My family is from Greece and this is some of the best bougatsa I have had even in the region where bougatsa 'came' from. Plus the service is fantastic and everything is soooo clean!!!“

“Ok a time was had!
I showed up to my first ever open mic. Without any back up or support. Straight after work still in a suit and I was so nervous! But sat next to people I just met, we'll I was early sonce I came straight from work still wearing a suit, and they were pleasant hospital regulars. The drinks were great the features were great and I enjoyed it so much. I will be back for another go!“

“Cons: barebones staff (usually two people working, one at register, one making food) - so food generally takes longer than you think and as a bonus, they may even forget you ordered something

Pros: the food is pretty fresh and tasty and they let my 2 and 4 year old run around the cafe for a solid hour with nary a care in the world.“

“Drove up from Harford County, MD. Upscale cafe’. Well oiled machine. Fantastic food. The staff is great, especially SABRINA. She’s dynamic, genuine and interactive. We will be back!“

“Stopped by Lu & Aug’s in Ardmore, PA, and this place is a sweet little gem! I tried the Wild Mint Chocolate and Toffee Pecan, and both were smooth, creamy, and full of flavor.

The Wild Mint Chocolate had that cool, refreshing mint taste with a rich chocolate kick. It was not boring or basic at all — it tasted fresh, sweet, and perfect for a warm day.

The Toffee Pecan was my favorite for that dessert-style flavor. It had a buttery, nutty taste with little crunchy pieces that made every sip better. Sweet, creamy, and packed with texture.

The presentation was simple but clean, and the drinks looked just as good as they tasted. Lu & Aug’s is definitely a spot worth checking out if you are in Ardmore and want something cold, sweet, and satisfying.

Foodie verdict: Creamy, flavorful, and worth the stop. I would definitely come back for more.

Location: Lu & Aug’s

“The layout is straight back and narrow so it can be hard to get to the order counter if the store is busy. Other than that I liked it

Parking: There's a line of parking spaces down the entire strip with a parking lot across the street next to the Firehouse.“

“This Starbucks was renovated a few years back so it now has a very open feel consistent with other locations. Many of the seats don’t have full backs. The staff are friendly. The menu is full. There is nice natural light. I didn’t need to wait long on an early Saturday morning. There are parking lots nearby.“

“Best Bacon ever. Love this spot.“

“A great neighborhood find if you're looking for an exceptional cup of coffee. The bean selection rotates regularly and the brewing is incredibly precise. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cares about the quality of what they serve. It's a relaxed, intentional space that avoids the usual cafe rush.“

“A very pleasant and spacious space. Great coffee, though a little pricey. It is a great place to get a bite and chill.“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“The service was great and the women behind the counter were amazing! I will definitely come back when I am in the area again.“

“I’m convinced that the bulk of the negative reviews here are written by individuals who have NEVER set foot in Gleaners. The best attribute of this store is the friendly staff. Everyone who works here absorbs so much chit chat from the customers that I would think the baristas are professionally trained to listen reflectively. No coffee shop cares more for their customers and allows them to express themselves as much as Gleaners. In fact, one can’t tip these baristas enough for the company they provide the sorry folks who talk and bore their ears off. Do you know how much extra work that is!“

“We were in PA for a graduation and before leaving, we were fortunate to eat at Café Tolia for Mother's Day Breakfast. I had the Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich with Smoked Salmon and OMG the Brioche Bun, everything, was DELICIOUS!

The staff was so friendly and patient with our party of 7 and our orders :) and pulling together the tables to seat us.

LOVED the decor!

It was a perfect way to spend our Mother's Day morning. Thank You.“

“Gran Caffe L’Aquila has a beautiful atmosphere and some genuinely excellent products. The latte was expertly made with gorgeous latte art, and both the coffee and gelato were absolutely delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve.
Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food and drinks. Most of the staff came across as dismissive and unfriendly, which took away from what could have been a wonderful experience.
The only one exception to this was Luca, who was welcoming, professional, genuinely kind, and knowledgeable. He made us feel appreciated as guests and stood out in the best way possible.
At the end of the day, hospitality is about making people feel welcome.
The rest of the team could certainly take note. If the level of service matched the quality of the coffee and gelato, this would easily be a five-star experience.“

“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!“

“Both the coffee & the matcha were a must-try for me & now they’re a must have. I got my usual matcha order, with oatmilk and vanilla, and it was the best I’ve ever had. The banana bread latte was so good, too! Just the cutest place, you have to 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!“

“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.“

“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. 👍🏻“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“The best cafe I’ve tried in Philly! From the atmosphere to the people and the food, everything was exceptional. We had such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere made the whole visit even more enjoyable. You can tell they put so much care into every detail, and the whole place gives off such warm, family-like vibes. Allison and Pedro were incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. We can’t wait to come back“

“Small but lovely place. If you're looking for authentic Italian espresso or macchiato this is the place. Small but very good selection of pastries. You can bring your laptop, but the tables are a bit small. Outside seating though is available and nice as well. Note: it got quite busy after my order :)“

“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.“

“This place is fantastic, I’ve loved all the pastries and rolls I’ve tried. I’m especially addicted to the ube roll! The hot and iced coffee are always good. This is a great quick and affordable alternative to other nearby options like Mighty Bread, Rival Bros, etc. I only wish there was more seating!“

“oh this was my favourite place in philadelphia. fantastic location, great service and great food. excellent music too. if I lived in philly this would be my local. thanks everyone for a fabulous experience. ❤️“

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

“Love love love this place I go here every Thursday after school and before my job I love this place.

My personal order is the regular Banh Mi and the Ca Phe Sua Da so good

The lady who runs it is very kind and sweet. If your in west Philly definitely come if your not like me(East Falls) its worth the trip down. The T4 and T5 stop right in front of the cafe and its so worth it“

“This morning was my 1st visit to Little Susies...and by far not my last! Absolutely delicious!!!! Great service, too! Upset with myself that it took me so long to get there (Front St in Olde Kenso). Thank you all and congrats on such a great business!!!“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“Loved this little spot!! The decor couldn’t have been sweeter, and the food and drinks were equally wonderful. They had so many different latte flavors (my favorite was the coconut mocha) that were the perfect amount of sweetness. The food was also unique and delicious - we tried the burrata panini, which was scrumptious! Would definitely come back here to try more :)“

“Best coffee shop in Philly!! A must-stop when in the city.“

“Absolutely my new favorite place to eat a savory lunch and dinner, enjoy marvelously smooth coffee, a delicious smoothie and the service is as friendly as it gets. The atmosphere is delightful and intimate, while sipping on their famous coffee while looking out the window… I’ve made it almost an addiction to visit Almaz daily, just for the warm smiles from the owners and staff. One taste of their beef stew, chicken curry… My only regret is that I’ve been walking past this gem for about a year completely clueless what was inside. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Just look at these healthy portions and the taste is better than you can imagine.“

“Quality coffee, pastries made with love and the most charming duo running the place.“

“Can’t believe I forgot this one!! My fam went here when it was new. We used to live in Media and every now and then we visit just to feel normal again!!! This joint was cool, they have an upstairs and a little outside deck thing! Coffee was good! Daughter had some croissant thing if I remember correctly and she loved it!! The very nice cashier told us our daughter got big and I clutched my baby like it was the last Renzulli barber pole!!!! Here, it was the sister of a girl that dated my baby nephew Billy!!! I first thought she knew it was me…Joe Joe on Google!!!He’s a good kid and his boating skills are 🔥🔥 I would definitely visit again when in Media!!! Shout out to my boy Garret(Mayor of Media)!!!!“

“We got an Americano and a Cafe Au Lait, and both were excellent. Short line, excellent service. No seating (it’s a food truck setup, for those who don’t know), but it’s close to many museum area park benches. NOTE: If you don’t get there early, the pastries will be sold out. At 10:30am, we were too late.“

“wonderful staff, Colombes coffee great food.“

“This is a pretty cute cafe. The coffee was really good, it's a little sweeter than would like, but it wasn't too sweet. I went in a little before they opened but were still nice about it and served me anyway. Highly recommend the coffee here.“

“Delicious pizzas and salads. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. The Gluten-Free Pizza options are so good! Love this place!“

“Most delicious specialty coffee in the city“

“Great desserts. Perfect cap of the night after Dinner in Chinatown.“

“We just had the best breakfast here - amazing food, even better service. A true hole in the wall spot (because it’s tiny but so cute, lots of character!). I got eggs benedict and my husband got a breakfast burrito. We cleaned our plates! We’re from out of town, headed back to the airpot later, and our server offered to fill up our water bottles too. She was a delight. I thanked her for being so lovely and without missing a beat she said “I’ve learned that being mean to people doesn’t make me any taller!”“

“Workers are very friendly, pretty affordable, they had a combo for drip coffee and bagel for 6$. I got a vanilla latte 5$ and bottle apple juice for 4$, it was so good, I added some cinnamon and syrup to latte by the self help table they have. Music choice is 2000s throw backs, I would come again!“

“Flores is so amazing and my new neighborhood spot. I love the coffee shops in the Fairmount/Francisville area, but this one is special. It’s so cozy and Mrs. Betty is SO lovely. I also appreciate bringing a Latina flair to the neighborhood. One of my favorite coffee shops is in Miami and this place reminds me of there. Run and go try it- you won’t be disappointed!! (My partner and I love the tres leches and coquito coffee drinks. Also, the homemade carrot cake, cornbread, and apple turnovers are to die for)!“

“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.“

“A+ ambiance and great coffee and treats.“

“Always love finding hidden gems like this place. Atmosphere, food, and service were fantastic. If you are looking for a great place to catch up with a friend or do a little bit of work or studying, lots of little nooks to do so and plenty of outlets accessible. Highly recommend, I will be back!“
