50 Best Coffee Shops near Fort Washington

“Ravi and 2 others, a taller gentleman and a newer younger guy on saturdays are so great! Ravi and the younger kid always ask how I'm doing, if I haven't come for a little, they ask where I've been. just great workers!“

“I ordered my favorite Matcha with oat milk. Kennedi was at the counter and showed above and beyond customer service.

I was having such a challenging day and was met with more compassion and understanding than I was ready for. There was a consistent flow of customers both indoors and at the drive thru. From what I can tell there were 3 staff members present that I could tell. Kennedi gave a warm welcome, an honest smile of understanding and showered me with kindest despite how busy it was.

I had a some personal hardship going on and it must have shown all over my face.
Despite the rush of all the demands of a busy morning, Kennedi multi-tasked and supported me immediately. I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy.

Thank you for seeing me, Kennedi and being courageous enough to help someone you don’t know out and offer encouragement to them. You didn’t have to do that and you chose love.

You influenced a positive outcome for your generosity. I just want to give you your due credit and high praise for checking on me and for your words of encouragement throughout my time there.

I imagine the store manager, Lauren G. will be proud of her team member. This was a meaningful experience I did not expect!“

“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. ❤️“

“I have a subscription to their coffee roastery - I recieve a 5lb bag of Espresso Roast beans every 8 weeks to use in my at home espresso machine. Their beans have ruined all other coffee for myself and my wife - we can ONLY drink Backyard Beans coffee. It is the best coffee we have ever tasted. The worst part is - we live in Alabama so we can only ever order it for delivery!“

“This place is so cool! I don’t drink but I think it’s really unique to blend a coffee shop with a whiskey bar. For those like me, they have a ton of coffee options and non alcoholic options that feel unique and special. Great cozy vibes inside too.“

“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.“

“As a hermit myself, Eremita is the most inviting coffee shop in the area. Yeah sure you could go to Dunkin or Starbucks also on Ridge Ave , but neither of those stores are anything like Eremita. When you walk into the cutest coffee shop in town you’ll fall in love with its eclectic charm instantly. You can immediately tell that this place was built with love and care. They have art on the walls you can buy and other cool events like open mic nights and crafting. While they don’t have sandwiches or big meals, the pastries are to die for, especially the savory puff pastries. There are probably a dozen or so small coffee shops around, but Eremita will also be my go to.“

“I went in looking for a specific drink, while they didn't have it on the menu, they made it right on the spot for me! That's real service right there! The food is amazing! Best tater tots I ever had in my life. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and accommodating, especially Deb the owner. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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“

“First off, it's important to note that Steel Penny does not allow customization of menu items. They're very rigid about substitutions or adjustments, which feels a bit off-putting and inflexible, especially for those who like to tweak their orders. That said, the Firenze sandwich was phenomenal. It comes with Burrata Cheese, Basil Pesto (nut-free), Arugula, Tomato, Balsamic Glaze, Sicilian EVOO, Salt, and Black Pepper, and you can choose between a chicken cutlet or Prosciutto di Parma. I went with the chicken cutlet, and it was an excellent choice. The rustic Italian bread roll was the perfect base, crusty yet soft enough to hold everything together. Every bite was flavorful, fresh, and well balanced. I also tried the Rose Gold Detroit-Style Pizza, which was very good. The crust was thick but still light, and the vodka sauce was delicious. I added pepperoni, which definitely elevated the flavor. The only real downside was the size, it's only six small slices, and for $20, that feels overpriced. Lastly, I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I asked for it extra hot, but it came out just warm. The flavor was fine, but I would have enjoyed it much more if it had been served steaming hot as requested. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. I'd definitely go back for the chicken cutlet sandwiches as they're worth the trip. I'd hesitate to get another pizza at that price point, and I'd skip the latte next time.“

“A lovely little spot! We visited from the UK, and Molly was so warm and friendly and served us some amazing drinks and sandwiches. My son had the honey lavender latte, I had a nice relaxing honey chamomile, and my partner got some delicious pastries and bagels 😋 Thank you Feine 💜 👌“

“Small menu with all the classics and a few twists. Clean and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of people coming and going but drinks still came out quickly.
Parking is a bit confusing but they’re is a free parking lot, and if you’re still confused after looking for signs, you can always park for $2 at the train station.“

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

“If you’re looking for a great latte,coffee,breakfast sandwich or dessert look no more because the Great Awakening has the best, the vibe inside is so welcoming and all the workers make you feel like family it’s truly a hidden gem. I look forward to seeing everyone at the cafe and enjoy the awesome coffee they make.“

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

“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. 😅“

“Love all the beautiful plants and other gifts you can purchase here.. It’s a very cozy place.. Thank you for this hidden treasure“

“They get great coffee from a local roaster and the staff is friendly and the service is great. The Keswick has a real neighborhood vibe and surpasses the corporate chains.“

“Place has best bagels in the area by a mile. Only drawback is it's impossible to place a call ahead order. Either no one answers or you get strange prompts saying their line is busy even the phone doesn't even ring once. Really weird. So be prepared to wait on weekends.“

“I LOVE this market. they even stayed open a few minutes late for my boyfriend and I after I called saying we weren’t going to arrive until 4:58 on a saturday. like, THANK YOU. we had a delicious easy dinner with tasty beets, dolmas, pasta, and gigantes. I love this place and the food is always fantastic and fresh and perfectly vinegary.“

“I've tried a few other dunkin in the neighborhood on uber eats and the order would be wrong or sandwich not cooked/melted all the way. I finally found this store and saw 5 stars so decided to try them. I was so glad I did. I've ordered quite a few times and it's always right, delicious and fresh! I decided to stop in today and every last staff was friendly and warm. I asked for the manager to let her know I order on uber and coming in just showed me even more why they deserve 5 stars ?. Keep up the great work!“

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

“This is our local spot to come during the farmer’s market on Saturdays. It is part of Glenside’s charm!“

“Just visited Uncle Bobbie's Coffee and Books and I'm highly upset that I live in VA and can't experience this place on a regular basis. I had a great time. the space is so warm and inviting. I love coffee and books and black spaces and I experienced all three. The staff was friendly' attentive, and helpful. My iced Chai and almond croissant were delicious. And I could have spent all day perusing the books and other merchandise. In the end I bought three books, three stickers, a bookmark, and a t-shirt. I'll definitely purchase more on the website. And I'll definitely visit again the next time I'm in Philly.“

“Great coffee beverages and tea“

“I love there dounuts! they are the best,I travel down from Bethlehem for some good hot hazelnut coffee and a dounut! A Big Thank to Darlene who took my order for a big dounut for my dad's birthday this month. Darlene is always Friendly its nice to walk in and when She's working says Hello Jennifer when i walk in the Quakertown Yum Yum!❤️“

“This is a nice coffee shop. It has seating available both inside/outside, making it a good option to get some work done if you need. The staff was helpful with providing recommendations. We ordered iced white mochas with whipped cream. We like sweet coffee, so these were really good!“

“This place never disappoints. Not only does my body get refueled after their drinks my soul gets a lift from the amazing owners and their radiant positivity. I swear I learn something new every time I go in. If you haven’t given this place a try yet I HIGHLY suggest. As a lifelong resident of EP I can’t express how happy it makes me to have an amazing, safe, happy place like this to feed your body and soul.“

“Great people make for a great atmosphere :)“

“Their coffee is absolutely fantastic!!! Definitely recommend! Pictured below is their iced white mocha with blueberry flavor cold foam 😋“

“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!“

“Delicious lattes, great service, cool space & vibe!“

“Great flavor selection, great team. Always there when I need that sugar rush. If you’re in the area (and even if you’re not) Dreams is always worth the trip“

“An enjoyable morning of coffee and croissants. Thanks“

“Simply Delicious by Tina...should be called SUPER Delicious by Tina! Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day...and now I know where to go to totally enjoy the people, their friendliness, and the best breakfast. Thank YOU Chef Tina for your wonderful work and amazing menu :-)“

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

“Ice coffee tasted phenomenal“

“We came in for the first time this morning. It was a pleasure meeting the owner and his son. The food was fantastic!! We will make it a point to be back often.“

“I love Adelie Coffee House. The coffee is simply delicious! It's rich, smooth, aromatic, soothing - like a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer. I've only tried the cheese danish. It was very good. The baristas are great - all of them. The coffee house itself is bare bones, yet clean and cozy. You have the option to sit outside if you like. I'm so glad this little gem is right down the street from my house.💜“

“Passing through town on my way home to NJ. Looked up brunch places and this came up. Might have been one of the best breakfast places ever — omelette delish and not oily, roasted potatoes crispy and tasty. Iced coffee perfect. Really it was exactly what we needed before our journey home. Would definitely come back!“

“One of the greatest places in town. Warm atmosphere, friendly staffs, and amazing food. Can't wait to go back ?“

“I absolutely love this spot, quick pick up breakfast you don't wana miss out. The food is always fresh and delicious 10 out of 10, the service id give it 10 stars if I could the people here are so nice and respectful we need more people and places like this. Must try the bacon, sausage, egg and cheese on a waffle it is sooo damm good ?“

“Stopped by Morning Talk Cafe for an afternoon snack. I had the Green Tea + Brown Sugar smoothie. Oh so refreshing in this sweltering heat.

Service was welcoming.

Lots of drink and food options. They had my favorite—macaroons.“

“This place is dessert heaven. They also have coffee and other baked goods. I went with the mango cake, which can be ordered and prepaid online so there is no wait. This was the first time stepping in and definitely won’t be the last. There is a lot of stuff to try.“

“Such a fun Halloween experience! Will definitely be back.“

“TLDR: open every day, AMAZING COFFEE, chill dudes, complimentary mint water with mint grown on site with composted coffee grounds!!Stopped in by chance a few weeks ago and have been coming back regularly because THE COFFEE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! Got to talking to the owner about it (really charismatic and generous dude super welcoming) and it's obvious he cares deeply for the coffee making process. He was talking about how important the altitude and climate are in the end result of the bean as well as the way they are pressed (something to do with the oils in the roasted bean). Gets his beans from Costa Rica and is clearly very proud of his source and for good reason. Forgot to confirm but I believe they are Arabica beans which I hear are pretty tricky to do justice. Also seems like they have a great machine because the end result was a really smooth, warm, toasty coffee that was so easy and enjoyable to drink! Bonus: they compost the coffee grounds in the pots around the cafe where they grow their own mint. They then pick that mint and always have a pitcher of cool iced mint infused water which was the perfect way to stay hydrated while drinking coffee. All that and a cool location, with an interior I did not expect but pleasantly surprised me (a bunch of interesting paintings and usually music playing) and great conversation to top it off. It was an incredibly pleasant and welcoming experience and that's what's been bringing me back. I'm glad they're open every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: Zero point entry from the sidewalk into the outdoor seating. Ramp up to the interior and a wheelchair accessible bathroom with support bars to help transitioning from wheelchair“

“came to grab a breakfast sandwich, owners is very nice and passionate about the food. very welcoming space, all the employees were nice and gave us suggestions on things to try.“
