“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.”

“My husband and I went there this morning for coffee and ended up getting so much information about Philadelphia and places we could go. The coffee was delicious. The company was terrific. Such a warm and inviting place. We will definitely be back again. Thank you so much to the two ladies that helped us we ended up spending the whole day there and I canceled my dentist appointment! Thank you!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gran Caffe L'Aquila, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making every bite a delight. The service was prompt and friendly, which added to the overall enjoyment. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. While the prices were a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food and service justified the cost. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience.”

“I’ve been here before but wanted to treat myself to a bag of beans! The barista was so kind and warned that the bag I grabbed was on the high end price wise. Their words: “this bag is roasted by the godfather of specialty coffee”. I used to be a quality control manager for a local shop in Philly so thankfully I knew what I was getting myself into! I ground the coffee beans using my baratza burr grinder and brewed it using my chemex. WOW! The coffee roasted in Norway is maybe the best at home coffee I’ve ever had. It’s very tea like and sweet with such a nice acidity. Perfect for this rainy Monday 😊. If you like specialty coffee and baristas with great attention to detail, give this place a visit. They know what they’re doing!”

“The bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich may be one of the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely love the decision to do brioche as the bread. I do wish they had some more non-caffeine drinks for those who don’t have coffee, but not a dealbreaker. The staff was lovely, and made me feel extremely welcomed to the city. I am counting down the days to my next visit so I can return”

“Easily the best coffee shop in the city. I have searched far and wide for a spot that has welcoming and charming vibes, exceptional espresso drinks, and a high level of coffee expertise with pour-over coffees. Most shops in Philly struggle to hit one of those criteria, a select few hit maybe two (Elixr, Thank you Thank you, Musette) but Habitat nails it all. My two favorite items to regularly get are their excellent cortado and their macchiato. If you order the macchiato for dine in, it comes with a small goblet of sparkling water which is a delightful and thoughtful pairing for a strong espresso drink. Both cortado and macchiato are well balanced, intense, and typically come with beautiful art. They also serve pour-overs, with a solid rotating list of single-origin beans that they roast. I believe they brew using an Origami brewer (they at least sell that brewer at the store), and every pour-over I have had has tasted wonderful and is nicely presented on a tray with the small mug and carafe. As with most shops, a pour-over may take quite a bit of time and generally takes a bit less priority to espresso drinks so it's best to order when it's slow. There is a real neighborhood charm to Habitat's aesthetic and service is welcoming to match. The interior is cute and cozy albeit small, with only maybe 8-10 seats. In the warmer seasons there are plenty of outdoor tables as well and it's a beautiful neighborhood to relax outside in. If you are any degree serious about coffee, I would give Habitat my highest possible recommendation”

“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.”

“I love the atmosphere here - cozy friendly mom and pop shop dishing out a simple menu. Everything's great. Very fun place to bring a friend or two or three and share. The prices reflect the neighborhood (it's a little more expensive than say, West Philly), but I still come here for the atmosphere and warm service over others in town. If you're coming alone, the entrees are enough for two meals! Pictured: chicken stew / doro wat (comes with a side of lentils and tikel gomen and extra injera), and decaf espresso con panna to end the meal”

“I took my mom out to brunch and just randomly decided to walk across the street and see some vendor shops set up outside. I was informed that this is the best coffee around by the owner (who also passionately raved about his wife who runs the business). I wasn't skeptical but told him, EVERYBODY says that but I was happy to indulge. I ended up grabbing a coffee and well, it did not disappoint. The taste was amazing, the experience was personable, and the impact will ensure anytime I travel to Philly I will come back to grab my coffee here. I highly recommend, my mom even purchased a bag of coffee beans without having a grinder, so def. Worth it.”

It’s really nice that he takes the time to have conversations with his customers, my brother has been a regular here for years and would agree. I always enjoy the food and matcha lattes.

“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!”

The UITSMIJTER with Avacado mash, smoked salmon, sunny side up eggs with pickled red onion and fresh dill on pumpernickel was AMAZING!

Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News. The Brooklyn-born coffee and matcha chain opened its first West Coast cafe on Aug. 12 at 13273 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, a Los Angeles neighborhood with deep roots in the entertainment business. It's the company's 106th location. "Studio City felt right for our California debut," co-founder and CEO Issam Freiha said in a statement.
Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
Dunkin' is heading back to Canada, eight years after it gave up on a market it couldn't crack. The coffee chain, owned by Atlanta-based Inspire Brands, said it has signed a deal with Foodtastic to open "hundreds" of locations across the country. Foodtastic, which owns Freshii and runs 27 brands and more than 1,200 locations in Canada, already operates Inspire's Jimmy John's sandwich shops there. Both sides pointed to that track record.
Bubble tea is about to get a lot faster. Gong Cha, the Taiwan-based chain with 2,200 stores in 33 countries, is introducing a major redesign that puts automation front and center. The company calls it "Gong Cha 2.0" - a new store model that combines drink-making robots, self-service kiosks, and a modern look. After testing the setup in Asia and the Middle East for two years, the brand is ready to bring it to its 240 U.S. locations.
Nothing Bundt Cakes, the Dallas-based bakery chain with nearly 800 locations across North America has claimed the No. 1 spot in America's Favorite Chains for the second year in a row. The chain didn't just win overall - it swept multiple categories. Nothing Bundt Cakes topped service and hospitality, unit appearance and ambiance, food and beverage, and convenience and takeout. It was also the No. 1 favorite limited-service chain among millennial consumers.
