50 Best Coffee Shops near Glenside

“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.“

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

“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“

“I go to the Easton Rd Dunkin Donuts only for the Baskin Robins desert. I love the flavors and the staff is always welcoming and attentive. We sit in and eat although dining area is small. We never have any trouble finding a seat. They have outside table available as well. Store is clean, bright and service is timely.“

“First time there, excellent food.“

“Great espresso and 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.“

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

“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.“

“Everything about this place is gorgeous! The flowers, decor and every corner was thoughtfully put together. Food is halal and amazing. Desserts are a must! Walked out with beautiful flowers 💐 I will be returning to try out the rest of the unique menu!“

“I had a wonderful experience here. Ended up having a great conversation with the owner about community and how we can all support each other as humans. I was there for quite some time so I ended up enjoying both breakfast and lunch. I ordered the bacon and egg sandwich on a croissant, mocha latte, the fruit and Nutella crepe, and the chicken crepe to go for my partner. I enjoyed everything I had in the restaurant though I wish the breakfast sandwich had more than two piece of bacon. My partner said her crepe was delicious as well. I would definitely return and I recommend it to others especially those that love working from cafes. The internet was fast and there were outlets to use.“

“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 stopped by Coffee Malem on a trip to South Jersey. It was a lovely experience. The owner, Malem, was very welcoming and helped me to figure out which drink would be most catered to my taste. I ended up getting a specialty latte that was a mix of a pistachio latte and Spanish latte. Not only were the ingredients of the flavors top tier, the coffee itself was high quality and delicious. I will definitely be back here on every single trip down south, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. You won't regret it!“

“This is hands down the best coffee shop in NoLibs. We discovered it over a year ago and have been going at least once a week ever since. I rarely get matcha out because so few places actually use good quality matcha and make it properly, but CNT does all of the above. They have monthly rotating flavor specials for coffee and matcha that are always incredible and made from scratch. The shop is also super dog friendly and our pup literally drags us down the street to go there anytime we are nearby.“

“An amazing place. Great way to find unique gifts“

“wonderful staff, Colombes coffee great food.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The ambience is great the smell is intoxicating and the customer service is excellent!!!“

“Excellent coffee, pastries and environment !“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. 😅“

“La Colombe’s flagship location is one of the gems of the neighborhood here in Fishtown-NoLibs. The space itself has that perfect balance of buzzing energy and relaxed atmosphere . whether you’re grabbing a quick draft latte to go or sitting down to catch up with a friend, it always feels welcoming.
The coffee is consistently excellent (their draft latte is still unmatched), and the pastries and food options are a cut above your typical café. Service is friendly and efficient even when it’s packed, which says a lot given how busy this spot can get.
What I love most is that it feels like a true community hub, locals, professionals, students, everyone passing through. It’s a reminder of why La Colombe has become such a Philly institution.
Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“

“Cute coffee shop on Ridge Ave! Great breakfast & lunch menu. Friendly staff 👍“

“I LOVE this place! The coffee & pastries are delicious. I love the relaxing atmosphere & the baristas are so friendly & efficient!“

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

“As a lifelong local, the idea of a turkey sandwich served on a pretzel blows my mind. I appreciate that the menu offers vegan options. The cinnamon pretzel is also a nice treat. Looking forward to going back.“

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

“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.“

“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 recommend Reanimator Coffee! I prefer the cinnamon rolls and Donuts ?. Friendly and ready to help you staff. Recommend it ?
