50 Best Cafes near Glenside

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

“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.“

“Top notch natas(egg custard tarts!) Amazing bolos de belem(Portuguese style donut) Their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic and their version of a Portuguese classic, the bifana (thinly sliced pork cutlets typically marinated in white wine, garlic, paprika, and lard, served on a soft, crusty bread roll) is outstanding! Staff is also very friendly, highly recommend!“

“Everyone loved every bite! One of my favorite brunch places in and around the city. Awesome food, and attentive service! #lEtsreAlesTate“

“Loved dropping in here on a Saturday. Very relaxed vibes walking in here, perfect for a relaxed meet up, coffee or quick bite. My wife and I ordered the Ume Plum Tea, Vietnamese Latte, Khang’s Special Banh Mi, Crispy Tofu Banh Mi, and Doenjang Butter Fries. The Ume Plum Tea is so unique, and their Vietnamese Latte is the best I’ve had. Their food portions are big, and will definitely leave you full. Highly recommend this place!“

“The service was great and the women behind the counter were amazing! I will definitely come back when I am in the area again.“

“My husband and I went to Meadowlark Bakery and Cafe this morning after learning that they hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for those who needed a place to go. We try to support places that support those in the community and do good. We’ve been there before for coffee and pastries, which are amazing, but we never had any other food. We have been missing out! We both got a breakfast sandwich and they were amazing! My biscuit was light and buttery, our eggs were perfectly fried, and both sandwiches had generous amounts of breakfast meat and came with tots. They had a wonderful Santa for the kids and a nice warm enclosed area for eating. Meadowlark, thank you for being a part of our community and helping those in need. It does not go unnoticed and we will absolutely be back to support you, your business, delicious food, and the good you are doing!“

“Although it does not look extraordinery from outside, even it is not visible, it is worth to jump in and grab something to eat. Good prices, very friendly staff. Spring rolls were delicious, as well as avocado sandwich. Crispy chicken wrap is also very good. Highly eecommend it“

“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.“

“Excellent coffee. Friendly helpful staff, and I say that not as a throw-away easy compliment. Out of a total of three visits I can think of the barista being unexpectedly kind each time.

On one occasion my partner rushed in to let our toddler use the toilet then offered to buy something but was met with reassurances there was no need. He gave her a free coffee.

Decor and vibes not my vibe. This is why I drink my coffee at home.“

“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. ❤️“

“Delicious food options including pastries. Friendly staff. And a nice open space. This place is great.“

“Some of the best black coffee I’ve had! I’m originally from Illinois. While the cafes I’ve been to in that state are good, this place didn’t water it down, and I didn’t even ask for strong black coffee like I normally would in Illinois. Very polite people! Got my drink in like a minute or two. Went well with my walk around the area!“

“Had breakfast this morning for the 1st time, it was delicious! Rebecca was our waitress and she was terrific! We definitely found our new place from now on!“

“The food and atmosphere were amazing but Henry and his crew were the best part. They were an immense blessing in what could be a stressful day.“

“OMGGGGG TRIED THE BUTTERCAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY! AMAZING!!!!!“

“Great coffee in a really cool setting! All kinds of original artwork and friendly staff (that was Jeff today)!“

“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.💜“

“My son and I visited on a Monday night, and from the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted with a big smile and a friendly welcome. The staff was incredibly kind, the atmosphere felt cozy and homey, and the décor added to the charm. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful experience, highly recommended!“

“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.“

“I walked in to get a coffee and ended up staying for about a half hour 45 minutes. Had lunch and ordered stuff to go. Great staff, great coffee. ☕️“

“Always have great food & service💕 😋“

“I came in at the end of a run and had a tough time choosing- everything looked super fresh and delicious. It’s rare to find homestyle, healthy food, and Greek!

I had a bowl with chicken, potatoes, veg, whipped feta, and took a pastry and frappe to go.

The people were super nice, and indoor and outdoor dining space bright and clean.

I will 100% be back!“

“Stopped into Thunder Mug Cafe for a pick me up yesterday. I understand why it was named Philly's favorite coffee house. Apparently everyone else heard the news, too. The place was packed! The service was friendly and efficient and my iced SF caramel coffee and beignet were delish! Google review coming!“

“American Grammar is my favorite cafe in Philly! Every drink I get is perfect and somehow always has the perfect espresso pull. The energy and beauty of the space (as well as amazing collection of books) make it such a pleasant place to go! Special shout out to Terrence who always makes you feel warm with his amazing energy and kindness. Grateful to have a place like American Grammar in the neighborhood.“

“The owner is a huge supporter of local music. The food is great, the musical talent they bring in is awesome. What more can you ask for???“

“Always my 1st stop when I'm out and about.“

“great place good vibes good food great customer service“

“I love this place. There are super accommodating. I have a shellfish allergy and they always are good at explaining to me. What is in the food and with the foods made with with no problem and everybody is really kind one of my favorite Vietnamese places. 😊“

“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.“

“The Falafels are hand made daily and the service is excellent. They’ll even run the order to you if time permits and if you are in a rush“

“Torch Wood, although it may not be your average eat in type of sandwich & pannini restaurant, it's definitely the place to order online or do a quick drive by pick up. Off the corner of north 3rd & Vine St., Torch Wood friendly customer service, attention to details and delicious menu will keep you coming back for more each and every day. Stop for one of their breakfast sandwiches or lunch salads and grab a latte while you at it, you will enjoy the trip! Highly recommended, Javier from Orlando, FL.“

“Love the vibe. The employees were incredibly helpful and friendly. Food and drinks were excellent. FREE mimosas or bloodies with any food purchase. 10/10 will return next time I'm in town.“

“Buche de Noel is excelent. I buy a cake here for any special ocasion and always I am extremely satisfied with the taste, presentation and service. I drive from Philadelphia to Ardmore just to enjoy Delice et Chocolat.“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“Amazing service! Pour over was the strong hit I needed this morning. The star of the show was the breakfast sandwich with the most creamy and fluffy egg with… spam?? To top it off, the scallion jam was a perfect pair. Cool record collection upstairs too“

“My sisters and I decided to stop in for some coffee after brunch. The man in front of us in line wanted a muffin. They were honest and said one felt hard and dry, so they suggested another flavor that wasn’t. That impressed us. Then they answered our questions about best selling latte flavors and what some flavors were. Not only were they informative and gave their personal suggestions, but they were very courteous and kind.“

“Their coffee and chai lattes are great! Their pastries are really good too. Every time I come here, I have some sort of issue though lol. I don't know if they whisper your name when your drink is called or if they just don't say it at all, but they will literally leave your latte just sitting on the counter and never bother to tell you that it is there. Also, God help you if you try to get someone's attention. I feel like trying to make eye contact with the barista is some sort of social faux pas that I am not aware of. Let me know if I should use telepathy in the future.“

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“I stopped in for breakfast last week while traveling through the area with a couple friends. Dee was absolutely lovely and the food was amazing! I also loved the music themed decor inside. Would definitely recommend you check it out.“

“I’m so happy to have Froot in my neighborhood. Everything is delicious. The banana stand and flamingo smoothies are my fave. And today I tried a CYO wrap with chicken, arugula, cranraisins, cucumbers and hummus and it was sooooo good. My daughter, who is a very picky eater, loves their açaí bowl and the weekend waffles. We love Froot and are so happy to have a healthy takeout option so close to home.“

“I recently discovered this place and honestly… I’m obsessed now💚. The vibe is super cozy, the kind of spot where you can sit for hours, talk, and enjoy good food. I’ve already made it a routine — every two weeks I come here with friends either for pastries or a drink.“

“Lulu’s casita is the best place , my kids love this place !!!“

“Cute place, on the smaller side but not terrible. Several tables inside and outside. They serve some interesting pastries and drinks, like an espresso tonic and a millet bun. I like that they have some light lunch food, although they tend to be on the pricier side — think avocado toast, lox plate, other cute hip upscale small plates. They have good wifi but weak AC so it gets pretty hot during the summer.“

“At the waiter's recommendation, I had the brie, cranberry, bacon grilled cheese. He eas right...so good! The place looked to have nice baked goods but I was too full. It was about half filled and we had no problem hearing each other. Look forward to going back.“

“Fantastic teas selection. The folk that work are super nice, and the atmosphere is so relaxing.“

“My croissant egg, cheese and turkey sausage sandwich was so good ! It was the perfect sandwich that I needed for breakfast. The juice was refreshing as well. Good service, it was nice & clean amd the atmosphere was great. Be sure to check them out for breakfast options 😊.“

“This was my first time visiting here…. Loved the vanilla sugar donut, drip coffee, and latte; they have sparkling water and regular water as self serve for convenience. So many people come here to get studying done. If I had to nitpick, their music selection was a little goth-y lol. Will visit again with ear plugs.“

“I had a good experience. Staff was amazing and the food was good. Very welcoming and location gives you a relaxing feeling to a peaceful time alone or with others.“

“This place embodies minimalist. Coffee at its purest. Friendly barista, worth stopping for a cup!“
