50 Best Coffee Shops near Lafayette Hill

“Wonderful lunch today at Bruno‘s! We sat outside, enjoyed a chicken salad, wrap, a grilled cheese with bacon, and a cheeseburger, with ice cream served in parfait dishes for dessert. Everything was fresh, tasty, and served quickly and with a smile. Perfect experience all around.“

“I went for the first time there last week with my sister niece and friends and we all Loved it! We wished there was one here in IN as well we were just visiting last week and ran across it for few things loved the coffee and tea choices so if it does come closer to IN would love to visit it and try all their teas pastries most likely! Loved the velvet layered cake and tarts would have gotten another if I could!“

“It’s places like this that make me love Philly! This quaint, locally-owned coffee shop is hands down one of the best I’ve been to.

I tried their seasonal German Toffee Latte, and it did not disappoint! The chocolate-chip cookie, topped with sea salt, and the chocolate croissant were both incredible—perfectly balanced sweetness.

I’ll definitely be back and highly, highly recommend!“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“Great coffees and super friendly owner/ baristas!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time there, excellent food.“

“Great Coffee ! Great people! Great Vibe“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“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. 👍🏻“

“Stumbled upon this place while looking for a coffee shop to work in that was open on LDW. I am SO glad I found this spot! It had the perfect vibes for relaxing or focusing and getting some work done. The drink options are creative and plentiful. I also got the burratina sandwich and it was fabulous. And it was huge! I saved the other half for later.

I found the prices to be very reasonable, especially for the large portion of food. And I love that it appears they import a lot of their stuff from Italy.

I will definitely be back to this gem!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Came and ordered the rose latte with oat milk and a croissant. This iced latte was absolutely delicious. I am already making plans to head back to try the lavender latte. I appreciate good coffee and strong espresso. This place has won me over.“

“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.“

“My first taste of Shakshuka and it was amazing! Very comfortable place, too. My partner had a smoked turkey sandwich that had a lot of great flavor!“

“Thank you for my beautiful flat white!“

“Porkroll and cheese pies 🔥🥧 🤌🏽“

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

“Excellent coffee, pastries and environment !“

“Dark espresso, full breakfast and lunch options (breakfast sandwiches!), biscotti, coffee cake (done right), nice seating with an antique new york feel. If you ask for a single pump of syrup, the barista will listen. Probably a new favorite coffee house.“

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

“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“

“Most delicious specialty coffee in the city“

“Bower Cafe is an absolute gem in Philly! I stopped by during the holidays and enjoyed their Cinnamon Hot Latte Christmas special—it was perfectly spiced, creamy, and gave me all the cozy holiday vibes. I paired it with a chocolate croissant that was flaky, buttery, and downright delicious.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. They really go above and beyond to make you feel at home.

What truly sets Bower Cafe apart is their private room. Whether you’re hosting a podcast, spinning tracks as a DJ, or holding a meeting, the space is beautifully designed and well-equipped for any creative or professional need.

Highly recommend for the excellent coffee, delicious treats, and warm, inviting atmosphere! This is easily my go-to spot in Philly!“

“Clearly marked vegan options. Start with the vegetarian sampler, then eventually chose your favorite dishes from that. They also have gluten free injera (bread which i probably misspelled!), which is a huge plus. Super friendly, always tasty. There's limited seating so we usually do take out. Food is good hot but somehow just as good leftover. Awesome little spot.“

“stopped in for an afternoon treat. I chose the blueberry scone and must say it was the best I have ever had. perfectly delicious. Will be in again soon.“

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

“Great people make for a great atmosphere :)“

“Yes! This is a Philly institution! We love Uncle Bobbies!!“

“This was the best coffee we had on the east coast and probably makes my top ten on taste alone. We got a simple vanilla late and it was perfect. Not too sweat, very rich, creamy and a nice consistency.

The atmosphere is pretty top notch as well. The natural lighting, huge ceilings, wooden barel designs, and a twist on modern designs. Even with how busy it is, there is usually a good amount of seating. That being said, it is busy. The line wrapped around the display area but it went fast.

The staff was friendly and pretty fast for how many people were there. They have a Woodfire oven for pizza too which goes to show the quality of the food as well.

Overall it's a top notch coffee shop that we will go to every weekend while we are here.“

“Hipster spot with mellow vibes (think Crumb on shuffle); limited seating upstairs and outside. Vinyl records also sold here. I had an iced latte with macadamia nut milk, which was excellent - coffee was sharp and almost savory, not watered down with too much milk. A little pricey for what it was ($6+ with tip) but a good treat. Friendly barista and excellent service as well. Love that they open relatively early on the weekends as well!“

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

“Awesome little coffee shop to try! I’m usually the type to want coffee around 5pm and instead of going to the Starbucks around the corner, I ended here giving this shop a shot. I don’t regret it one bit. They had lots of food and drink options! Staff was friendly and prices are reasonable.“

“Going to a brewery at 8 in the morning to grab terrific coffee - nothing better! The atmosphere of Wirlybird welcomes you immediately. The baristas are super friendly and the coffee (specifically americanos!) are delicious. It is a great place to go to socialize especially if you have people in your group who don’t drink - options of alcohol or coffee include everyone. You can also bring in your own food or buy from the food trucks. Awesome place with awesome vibes!“

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

“Bangin’ bánh mi and great Vietnamese iced!“

“I've only recently discovered this gem of a place. So far I've only purchased breakfast sandwiches and a breakfast platter/smoothies which were delicious, but I also flip through the menu as if it's a magazine pondering what lunch item I'll finally order. Lol 10/10. Very pleasant staff and I usually text my orders so I don't have to wait.“

“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 dim sum! And baby bok choy, spice eggplant and soup dumplings!“
