“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“I ordered the sweet potato latte and it was great! The flavor was really good, not too sweet, and the espresso was amazing quality. The inside of the cafe is sooo adorable, but extremely tight and cramped. It’s definitely not the kind of cafe to sit and relax at, but still great nonetheless!!“

“Went for a quick breakfast before heading to the airport. Great experience. Very kind staff, good atmosphere. Bacon egg and cheese was perfectly crafted. Chocolate croissant was phenomenal. Best cortado I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend.“

“Fantastic local non-chain/corporate coffee joint. Fresh pastries, coffee & tea drinks, small banquette inside, shady tables and chairs on sidewalk under trees. Think casual morning meetups, kids in strollers, dogs relaxing under chairs. Friendly AF staff.“

“I am by no means a coffee snob, I typically stick to a cold brew but the orange cream latte caught my eye and WOW. It’s one of the best drinks I’ve had in my life…dare I see the best I’ve had in my life. Will definitely return to try more of their specials!“

“Everyone working there is Super friendly. Today I got a healthier version of a rice crispy and it blew my mind. One day I’ll make it there early enough to get a donut!! Can’t wait. Fresh coffee“

“As per always, our eating experience was outstanding in every way. We enjoy bringing friends here, as each and every one of them also enjoys the meal and the service (shout out to Carlos?). Every dish is delicious, there are no wrong picks.“

“Lovely lovely neighborhood cafe with yummy options otherwise scarce nearby. Favorites so far have been the pandan waffle, taro boba, the banh mi combo, but this place is always on my mind to try much more of the menu! The boba drink sizes are also much more generous for the price compared to others.“

“The perfect corner shop in Philadelphia! Staff made you feel like you were an every day customer and the drinks were amazing! I’m still raving over the rosemary latte and I’m thinking about driving from the DMV just to have another cup! If you’re a crazy coffee addict like me, get in there today!“

“Awesome coffee shop! Tried sunbutter today on a sesame bagel...delightful! Friendly and efficient service in a pleasant atmosphere.“

“The food was excellent. Everything was what we expected and priced accordingly the grizzly breakfast sandwich was really good, as we’re all the other sandwiches, The music was a little loud brought me back to my head banging days as a teenager, The service was adequate. They were somewhat busy.“

“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.“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“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. ❤️“

“Such a cute coffee shop. A hidden treasure in my work neighborhood. I stop here on occasion if I get a break in my day. Good lattes and coffees. Full menu including breakfast and lunch options as well as quick items like muffins. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“I’ve lived in Philly for the past 10 years, calling myself a local foodie. I’m not one to post on social media, but instead, tell my friends/colleagues the best place to try. For the last year, that “place” is Hilo taco.

Funny story…my boyfriend talked about their opening for months. Being me, I thought we would try their food and he’d stop talking incessantly about them. Little did I know, Hilo would be our “spot”. We’ve been coming here multiple times a week for the past year. Let me tell you why..

The food. Phenomenal and consistent. I’ve tried every taco on the menu. Obviously, I have my preferences (aka Hilo hot cauliflower and BBQ taco), but each taco is unique and flavorful. Their weekly taco special excites me each week: I look forward to the announcement and seeing the new creation each week.

The people. From the first time we went to Hilo, I felt like I was family. I can’t speak enough about how much we love the people who work here. It’s more than a job for them: they make their customers feel welcome, comfortable and at home. Coming from working in a hospital and having many long days, this places brings me joy everytime I walk in.

If you’re in Philly, please check these guys out! You will not be disappointed and will send all your friends here! They have the best tacos, staff and margaritas around town!“

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

“The cafe is very open and the atmosphere is lively but also a great place to get an excellent cup of coffee and pastry. It feels like Paris in DELCO, Pa.“

“Food is great and prices are super reasonable. Staff is very friendly but they are definitely overworked having to do so much in such a small space with few people. Outside seating actually felt pretty nice, and I was glad I was able to take my dog.“

“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!“

“I ordered some treats for my mom it was a miscommunication with delivery service so she didn’t receive it, but holy cannoli contacted me and cleared everything up and offered to send my mom treats on them which I thought was really thoughtful. Great customer service thank you so much. I appreciate your attention and kindness! Thank you, Khristine“

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

“Absolutely recommended! I’m a London tourist visiting Philadelphia, and I was immediately drawn to this little coffee shop. The staff were super friendly, and the coffee was delicious! A special thank you to one of the customers (with a lovely dog) who kindly offered to pay for my coffee when I only had a card and no cash. That gesture really warmed my heart—thank you! ☺️☺️“

“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.“

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

“The atmosphere, food and services were impeccable! Highly recommend“

“Love Leo’s, fresh and yummy Friendly staff and wonder place in lansdowne“

“incredible service by incredible people“

“I love Char & Stave. Their cocktails are top notch! The space is really inviting. They host live music here and have trivia. It’s a good time here. It’s also a great place to grab a drink before heading to a show at Ardmore Music Hall.“

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

“Eli and the other staff members were friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu items and coffee selection! Excellent service, inviting atmosphere. I just don’t understand why they are still required to wear masks! It’s a safety issue for them! Even the CDC does not recommend them any longer! It should be a personal choice! Highly recommend menagerie otherwise!“

“Tons of coffee options and different flavors that you can mix & match, breakfast sandwiches are made to order. The sandwiches are a bit on the pricier side but usually big enough that I split them into 2 meals. If you go on a weekend or holiday I suggest ordering ahead on their website, I was quoted 25-30 min when I ordered at the counter on a Sunday.“

“Excellent coffee and small but awesome selection of pastries. Unique, funky, cool vibe with a great selection of jazz music playing and LPs on sale up front. It's dark inside, dimly lit. After 4pm they have a cool happy hour and sell wine in the evenings, and have a live music room in the back.
Great coffee, snacks, vibes, friendly service.“

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

“Excellent coffee, pastries and environment !“

“I stopped for a quick cup of coffee and man they had a lot of options to choose from! They had a fall special going, and many of the drinks were crafted beautifully! Definitely would visit back to try all the flavors. The coffee was really good. Also, the vibe was really warm and inviting and many people were stopping for a quick bite. Didn’t get chance to order food, but definitely will onthe next visit.“

“This place is spectacular. We’ve never had Ethiopian food and came to try it this afternoon. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the food was amazing. We got the doro tibs and veggie combo to try a few different things. My favorite was the doro tibs, misir, and beets. As someone with a gluten sensitivity, the gluten free injera option was incredible. I also got a soda. The total was less than $50 for two people. A wonderful place and I will definitely be back. Next time I’m looking to try their Ethiopian iced coffee!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free injera !!“

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