A gem of a place. The coffee was great and the space is pretty large and inviting. More than that though, the service made me have more faith in humanity. I didn't get the server/barista name but they were so incredibly kind and welcoming and accommodating.
Great coffee, even better people.

Coffee does not taste good at all. Had only one sip and threw it .

Continuing my exploration of the best coffee shops in Philadelphia, the first one I stumbled upon was Caphe Roasters. To my surprise, it was conveniently located right around the corner from my house. Despite passing by numerous times, I had never really paid much attention to it until now. The neighborhood has been undergoing development, with old warehouses being transformed into modern living spaces, many of which now house retail shops. This particular shop used to be an old furniture factory, and upon stepping inside, I was impressed by the level of sophistication it exuded.
On a bustling Thursday around lunchtime, the shop was abuzz with activity. Seating was filled, and there was a line forming at the food counter. They had a well-organized system in place, complete with numbered orders and a diverse menu. Specializing in Vietnamese coffee and a range of drinks, they also offered a variety of food options, including a few vegan choices. It was necessary to inquire about allergens due to potential cross-contamination, but the staff were transparent and helpful in guiding customers.
I took the recommendation of the young lady at the counter and ordered an Ume Plum tea, along with a side of tamarind fries – a dish I had never tried before. The tea, sweetened with plum syrup, had a refreshing lemon-lime flavor and warmed me up on the chilly day. The fries, seasoned with tamarind, offered a unique combination of salty, sour, and sweet flavors. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they made for a delightful snack.
As I observed the other patrons enjoying their meals and drinks, some working diligently while others simply relaxed with a cup of coffee, I too found myself immersed in the inviting atmosphere. I am already looking forward to my next visit to Caphe Roasters.

Matcha was on the sweeter end and the lavender latte had a nice fragrance. Mainly came because it was the anniversary weekend and they did a chicken sandwich which tasted delicious. I wouldn’t be suprised if the other food was great as well. Great atmosphere plenty of seating space but of course fairly busy at the time I went. (10am-12pm)

This is a really cute cafe with good seating. The latte float was amazing. The Vietnamese latte was good, although not as sweet, but I asked them to add some soft serve to sweeten it up and they did, which was really nice of them. I also tried the J St. Sando and staple egg sando and both were really good. Highly recommend this place!

I discovered their coffee through Riverwards Produce and have been hooked ever since.
Their Vietnamese espresso blend is my favorite. It's bittersweet, fruity, and not super oily unlike a lot of commercial espresso beans available.
They have great customer service and if you aren't local, you can buy their beans through their website and have them shipped to you!
Tried Mango Matcha...Delicious!!! Also shared Banh MI ( OG( amazing flavors and fried chicken ( savory) Atmosphere cool!! Customer service was great. Prices very reasonable. Stay busy in there for good reason. Definitely check it out!!

Today I visited Càphê Roasters with my wife and young son, who uses a wheelchair, and I can’t say enough about the exceptional experience we had. From the moment we approached the entrance, the staff’s warmth and attentiveness set the tone for an unforgettable visit. Before we even reached the door, a friendly team member greeted us with a genuine smile, held the door open, and promptly operated the chair lift to ensure we could access their space with ease. This kind of proactive, thoughtful service is rare and made us feel truly welcomed. Despite the bustling atmosphere inside the busy café, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. They quickly rearranged seating to create a comfortable space for us to enjoy our meal, ensuring my son could navigate easily. To our delight, they even surprised him with a complimentary mango-condensed milk soft serve, which brought the biggest smile to his face. The gesture was so kind and unexpected, adding a special touch to our day. Now, let’s talk about the food and drinks - which was absolutely phenomenal! We ordered the fried chicken banh mi with a reduced gochujang sauce, and it was a masterpiece of flavors. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the bread was fresh and toasted just right, and the adjusted sauce gave it a gentle kick that suited our tastes perfectly. The egg coffee was a revelation—rich, creamy, and unlike anything we’ve had before, with a velvety texture that felt indulgent yet balanced. I was told by a staff that it was made with their Vietnamese Robusto beans - rich, slightly fruity and strong finish, complements the silky egg custard perfectly. The mango coconut matcha was equally delightful, leaving us savouring after every sip. Every offering was thoughtfully crafted, and downright delicious. As Canadians, we’re used to friendly service, but the team at Càphê Roasters took hospitality to another level. Their genuine care, attention to detail, and ability to make us feel like valued guests in the midst of a busy day was truly remarkable. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing, and we can’t wait to return. Càphê Roasters appeared to be much more than a café - it’s an inspiring place where incredible food meets heartfelt service. Highly highly recommended! Last note: Càphê’s got killer merch that’s really high quality and well designed.
