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’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!“

“Too difficult to buy a cup of coffee here, the coffee ordering set up should be in the front, not the back and why is it so dark in the back? I want to like this place but it has no vibe…just the sight of staffers running around. The Hostess always looks bored and the back is like a madhouse. It’s one of the only places to get a cup of coffee ☕ near to Rittenhouse Park but where it’s well lit, it’s a quiet upscale grocery shop but the back feels like you’ve entered a subway station at rush hour!

Not sure what the remedy is but I’d suggest that you open up the front space, remove the annoying velvet rope and stop putting “reserved” signs on all of the tables (just sit people there who want to enjoy a cup of coffee for 15 minutes). This is a beautiful spot, but boy does it stress me out once you walk in the back.

Put on Italian music and hire some drop dead gorgeous guy or gal who knows how to convey ITALIAN WARMTH to customers!!! Every time I walk in the hostess is shy. She should be greeting guests and be IN FRONT, not planted at the podium.

Your restaurant is gorgeous ✨ , but it never feels welcoming 🤷🏽‍♀ it’s bright and pretty but it’s hectic feeling in the back - sorry, someone had to tell you..“

“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“

“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!“

“The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and comfortable. I recommend the dumplings, they are amazing and their Tea was extremely good. I made sure to get more to take home.“

“my favorite coffee shop in philly. used to be my go to neighborhood coffee shop because i just live right around the corner. i now live in a different neighborhood but i still come here because the coffee is so good & i guess the cherry on top is the baristas are consistently very nice & friendly as well. every time i come here, its always a nice litte treat. the vibe is always right. theres some seating inside, but theres seating outside too which is nice. & the neighborhood is nice & quiet. could just sit, sip my coffee, disassociate or people watch haha“

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

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“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.“

“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 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“

“First time there this morning. My dad and I got coffees & cinnamon danish. Browsed the books & bought a few plus a shirt. Love the vibe & ambiance.“

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

“Most delicious specialty coffee in the city“

“Fantastic coffee shop. Iced coffee is super. The pastry is fantastic. And the workers couldn't treat you any better.“

“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.“

“The breakfast burrito was so good“

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.“

“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!“

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

“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. 👍🏻“

“Really lovely place, and I truly mean that. The lady taking and filling orders was very nice, the atmosphere was really comforting, and the boba milk tea I got was delicious - really sweet and lots of boba. Will definitely be back to try the food!“

“Asked ChatGPT for solid black drip in Philly. And this place is pretty darn solid. Good music coffee hot, has some fruity notes. Fun stuff“

“Excellent food and service!! I came for the spanakopita and it didn’t disappoint!! They make it in house as well as all of the Greek food. The crust was perfect. I can’t wait to return to try the rest.

The pastries are made by a local bakery in S Philly.

They also make some flavored fun teas! I’ll have to come back for the coffee.

The staff I interacted with was really welcoming and informative. She took the time to explain the Greek items to me. Im excited to come back to continue trying the remaining menu items.“

“The Winkel is a charming neighborhood breakfast spot. Great service, nice atmosphere and the food is delish! The UITSMIJTER with Avacado mash, smoked salmon, sunny side up eggs with pickled red onion and fresh dill on pumpernickel was AMAZING! I cut into my UITSMIJTER, took one bite and knew I had to leave a review. The presentation was lovely… you’ll have to take my word for it.“

“Best coffee in Philadelphia !!!“

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

“I didn't realize I've never left a review but my husband and I have been coming here regularly for over 4 years. There are baristas that have been here for that long and are amazing. They are so so nice. I've been coming here with my newborn and now she'll be four and they truly embody the concept of a third space for everyone including rambunctious toddlers. They have never made us feel less welcome for our child being a child and have always made us and our children feel welcome no matter what. The coffee/barista talent speaks for itself, we have definitely been to hundreds, if not thousands, of coffee shops around the world between the two of us and definitely we always compare it to this gem! They have really cool events as well I've been to a couple of poetry nights. I don't drink alcohol but it being open late makes it a great place to have an evening tea or read a book in a different evening atmosphere.“

“Lovely place, yummy coffee, and very generous in the community!“

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

“The best coffee in Philadelphia, El mejor café en Filadelfia“

“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)!!!!“

“A cute coffee shop with great drinks! For those familiar with the scene in Houston, their pandan foam coffee is similar to Le'DRIP, but with richer coffee notes and their lychee matcha is similar to that of Kohiko's (though nothing will beat Kohiko in my heart!). It was really nice to get good Viet coffee !! (We've been struggling to find a good spot 😭)“

“You are probably wondering if it really is a 5 star coffee and let me tell you, same. And ya know what, here I am now post iced latte leaving my own 5 star review. Friendly service with absolutely a delicious coffee bean for plain latte lovers.“

“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.“

“I recently ordered 9 'Best of Philly' gift baskets with added treats as client gifts, and each of them loved it! They each said the presentation was lovely and the coffee smelled and tasted delicious. I will be ordering again and think these made wonderful client gifts! Thank you, Passero's!“

“Have been longing for a good cup of drip coffee and kept being told WaWa was the best coffee around. (No.😫) Was served a cup from this roaster at Bake Life and it is 💯. Thank God for them, honestly.“

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

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