50 Best Coffee Shops near Clifton Heights

“Nothing really everything is good“

“My Grandson enjoys the chicken 🐓 nuggets.“

“The place is excellent but the only thing that throws me off is the creepy , short guy with curly hair due who works there. He likes to make visually impaired people uncomfortable by staring at them and deliberately bothering customers while they are using the bathroom. The dude is straight up prejudice.“

“In a beautiful building with a nice atmosphere. Great hot chocolate and delicious coffee.“

“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.“

“Fantastic community spot. The staff is high energy and so friendly. The type of place where you walk in and everyone is happy to see you. The coffee isn’t my favorite (flavor wise) but they always change up their special drinks. Simple offering of food and solid selection of pastries. Cash only (but there’s an ATM inside)“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Love this little artisan coffee spot!! You can always tell a good coffee spot when they make you a proper macchiato. ☕️

It’s a small space with minimal seating so keep that in mind if you intend to hang out. Great location if you’re visiting Center City. Very walkable. There’s some street parking around.

The service is great. I really enjoyed chatting with the barista learning about the business and ways they intend to continue growing as a brand. I appreciate that they locally roast their beans and that they experiment with new flavors to create drink specials they offer.

I love a barista and business that appreciates the many flavor profiles a well formed palate can enjoy. Flavors keep life interesting and fun! It’s also nice to hit up a spot that makes things from scratch avoiding the usual toxic chemicals used at chain coffee shops.“

“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. ❤️“

“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-“

“As an epidemiologist and professor, I rely on data and patterns rather than outliers. I am writing specifically to address a recent, baseless accusation regarding the owner’s integrity. I have been a regular at Almaz Cafe for years, and the claim that the owner 'lied' or 'scams' customers is entirely inconsistent with the transparent, honest service he has provided this community for two decades.
Attacking the character of a hardworking, small-business owner over a misunderstanding of traditional dining costs is unjustifiable. The 4.6★ rating on Google Maps and high praise on Yelp exist precisely because this owner operates with the highest integrity. The food is genuine, the pricing is standard for Philadelphia, and the owner’s reputation remains beyond reproach.“

“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)!!!!“

“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.“

“I made this reservation in celebration of my mom and aunt's birthdays. They reported that it was an excellent treat! They were thrilled with the level of service and hospitality, and the meal. Additionally, since I am long distance, I worked with staff to make certain celebratory and payment arrangements in advance. Well done Gran Caffe. Thank you for your kind generosity in helping to create another delightful memory.“

“wonderful staff, Colombes coffee great food.“

“From one barista to another- incredible work 🩶. I was enamored by the inherent sweetness of their shots, very caramel-forward. Ended up going home with a bag of honey processed beans and a persistent hankering for another visit. My visit was brief because I had a schedule to stay on, but I could easily see myself spending multiple hours here. Community vibes come naturally to this place.“

“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.“

“Excellent coffee, pastries and environment !“

“Wonderful friendly staff, great brew too! I had the clever pour coffee it was fabulous!“

“Good coffee and fast service“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great crescents, great coffee“

“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.“

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

“The staff was great. The drinks and food was awesome! I loved it...“

“One of my favorite go to spots when I worked in Chestnut Hill a very long time ago! The vibe has not changed a decade later! It was great to come in with my highly energetic son, enjoy the great vibes and coffee! Times have changed but they haven't! I had different drink experiences on different days and they were accommodating every time. Thanks for being so welcoming, and inviting! Young messy ppl take PATIENCE“

“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!“

“All always made the same way .. love it“

“I'm visiting this city for the first time. Locals highly recommend this local coffee shop. It is definitely a local vibe. I much prefer Passeros than Starbucks. The character of this little shop is 100% original and definitely shows Philadelphia love.“

“Great food at very affordable prices“

“We love Pour Richard's for many different reasons. Their coffee selection is HUGE and delicious. If you've never had anything from PR...try a different blend every day you go. It's worth it! The staff is A+ AMAZING and works their butts off. Great place to stop and grab breakfast and coffee and to get some work done before going into the office. I could write a novel on how great PR is; but if you're reading this, chances are you already know that!“

“Wonderful place! Good coffee, food and gifts.“

“Popped in to check it out. DELICIOUS coffee. That’s all I need from a coffee shop, but the bagel was excellent too, and the staff were chill and friendly. Will return.✌️😎✌️“

“Nice place too grab coffee while my cycle got some service.“

“We had the Coffee with a shot of espresso and caramel syrup… Also a cappuccino - Toasted bagel with cream cheese and a cheese danish“

“The chicken pot pie is awesome!! I've been stopping by the Lehigh Ave. location and the staff are always very nice & friendly!“

“I’m a cortado snob and they always deliver perfection. Plus their croissants are the best of any coffee shop I’ve been to in this area, which I think is all of them. It’s strange to have to even make note of this, but especially when I’m in a coffee shop, I really prefer being able to talk to a real live person to place my order and not have to navigate a touchscreen. Chatting with the baristas is part of the enjoyment and reason for leaving your home. So another five stars for human interaction. 😅“

“Delicious coffee and great food!“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“I gave them a five-star because they seem like nice people . But they really didn't deserve that the place is a dive you can't get a real drink there people just sit around reading books or some crap definitely not a bar don't go there“

“I love just love this place and their cakes. Very tasty beautiful and great served. Thank god they are 40 minutes away from me. Otherwise I would be there every day.“
