50 Best Coffee Shops in Philadelphia

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“First time there, excellent food.“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

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

“What a great find! Great place for coffee or coffee and a bite. Iced coffee was exceptional and the egg, cheese, and spicy ketchup bagel was quite tasty. Great vibe. You walk in and immediately feel comfortable, and in another world. It will be one of my regular to go places now. Actually much more than a 5 on all areas.“

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

“Such a cute spot with amazing coffee! I have grabbed to go coffee from here quite a few times and it doesn’t disappoint. Anything from drip to a cappuccino has been amazing. It is a little bit on the pricier side but the tip is included and the staff is always nice (I don’t mind paying extra for quality coffee)!
The space is quite small (2-3 tables) so I would recommend taking to go unless you’re lucky enough to snag a table (it is full particularly in the mornings). I can tell there are dedicated regulars who go here and I can see why!“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I stopped by Mayflower Bakery & Cafe while I was in Chinatown and I’m so glad I did. The pastry case was packed with options and everything looked super fresh. I grabbed a pineapple bun, a roast pork bun, and a coconut tart, and honestly all three were delicious. The buns were soft and fluffy, the fillings tasted fresh, and the coconut tart was perfectly sweet without being over the top. I also ordered a Vietnamese-style coffee, which was strong and smooth and paired perfectly with the pastries.

The place itself is small and simple, but the staff were really friendly and even offered to warm up my pastries, which made them taste even better. Prices are very reasonable, so you can try a bunch of different things without breaking the bank. Overall, it’s the kind of spot I’d happily come back to whenever I’m in the area, tasty food, good coffee, and a welcoming vibe.“

“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.“

“This is maybe one of my favorite coffee shops anywhere. First of all, the space is just too awesome, exactly what I think of when I think of a coffee shop. Love the open windows, small and simple menu, and the total vibe. Wish I had this close by but live to visit when in Philly! If you’re looking for great coffee in an awesome space, stop here!“

“I ate here in 2023 on vacay and had to come back to Philadelphia just to eat here a few months ago. Honestly, eating here is THE reason I flew back to Philly. Vegetable combo and the salad are the best. Will be back as often as I have time to fly back out. Thank you Almaz.“

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

“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. 👍🏻“

“So I have been to Philly several times and this restaurant has been on my radar to try. Finally made sure it got included in my culinary trip to Philadelphia. After asking for a recommendation between some didhes I could not decide on...my main and desert, my waiter gave recommendations that did not disappoint. The Carbonara was excellent.and the Budino di Pane scrumptious! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. It was busy and just a little too noisy for me, but if you enjoy the hustle and bustle of an eatery, you will love this restaurant! I recommend and hopefully get to come again on another visit to Philly.“

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

“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.“

“It's such a cozy nice bakery! And the barista there is such a warm guy! I tried their hot chocolate based on Google reviews and it was worth it. But for me the lemon tart was a winner. I had been looking for a decent lemon tart for a while and finally found it!“

“Heart-warming service and delicious food. We were curious about the Zuurkool and so we asked to have a side of it. The chef came out to personally deliver it and share his story of the recipe, and the recipe itself! Their kindness made our day“

“Great coffee, but don’t count too much on the wifi. At multiple locations I’ve experienced not being able to connect on arrival, and well meaning staff resetting the router which disrupts everyone who is connected. Of course if you’re just chillaxing this is not a big deal.“

“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.“

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

“Recently worked with Mike Marsh on a catering order and he was so attentive to ensuring we had a wonderful expereince from initial order call to after pickup. He and his team went above and beyond to ensure the order was ready bright and early. He also selected a great option with the everything croissants!“

“Great coffee beverages and tea“

“A group of us went here last night and we loved our experience! The food was excellent. Entrees - steak frites, burgers - were all great. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers too. Also, a really nice selection of cocktails and wine. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“My wife and I enjoyed this place a lot. The drinks were delicious, food was delicious and the place is beautiful inside. Just wish the people working the counter were friendlier, they were nicer to people who were regulars.

This place is also dog friendly, plenty of people had their pups in here.“

“beignets, almond croissants, plain croissants. cash only“

“TLDR: open every day, AMAZING COFFEE, chill dudes, complimentary mint water with mint grown on site with composted coffee grounds!!Stopped in by chance a few weeks ago and have been coming back regularly because THE COFFEE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! Got to talking to the owner about it (really charismatic and generous dude super welcoming) and it's obvious he cares deeply for the coffee making process. He was talking about how important the altitude and climate are in the end result of the bean as well as the way they are pressed (something to do with the oils in the roasted bean). Gets his beans from Costa Rica and is clearly very proud of his source and for good reason. Forgot to confirm but I believe they are Arabica beans which I hear are pretty tricky to do justice. Also seems like they have a great machine because the end result was a really smooth, warm, toasty coffee that was so easy and enjoyable to drink! Bonus: they compost the coffee grounds in the pots around the cafe where they grow their own mint. They then pick that mint and always have a pitcher of cool iced mint infused water which was the perfect way to stay hydrated while drinking coffee. All that and a cool location, with an interior I did not expect but pleasantly surprised me (a bunch of interesting paintings and usually music playing) and great conversation to top it off. It was an incredibly pleasant and welcoming experience and that's what's been bringing me back. I'm glad they're open every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: Zero point entry from the sidewalk into the outdoor seating. Ramp up to the interior and a wheelchair accessible bathroom with support bars to help transitioning from wheelchair“

“Great espresso and coffee.“

“Philly's got some solid vegan restaurants but in my experience, this is the only one where Dr. Michael Greger may drop in to see Chef Alice and crash your lunch party. But that's not even my favorite part about this place — it's a cafe really devoted to the mission of nourishing health through good food. A lot of the meat-free restaurants in town serve tasty food but aren't exactly in the ballpark of WFPB — whereas Joy is looking to add years to your healthspan... without selling short on flavor! Alice is a quintessential crusader restaurateur. I also appreciate the gluten-free options, and I congratulate myself for the dignity I exhibited last visit when I abstained from eating the paper wrapper of my blueberry muffin in desperation to get every crumb down.“

“We randomly stopped at this place for brunch after a concert. Food was delicious with very unique options. Sweet chili pork roll is great!“

“Great coffee. Great staff.“

“Of the many coffee shops in Old City, this is one of my favorites. It has some of the best matcha I've ever had and I love their flavors. Ive heard equally as good things about their coffee. Their butter crossaint is unreal good and generally theyre comparably priced to the area. They also have an awesome patio area where I sat with my furry son for a bit, really great spot overall.“
