Stumbled upon this yesterday and thought It was quaint and cute so had to stop in. We got a hot chocolate and peppermint green tea which were both tasty. The green tea was definitely strong which I prefer. The hot chocolate tasted so rich and the whipped cream was the perfect addition. I also got a ham and cheese croissant which was tasty. Wish I had told the girl to heat It up, but It was good regardless. Service was fast and easy.

Hands down the best pastries I've ever had. I don't know how they do it but they are amazing! The mushroom cheesecake is light and gooey and the cruffins are insanely delicious. Great family owned business!

Love this quiet cafe with friendly staff. It’s a chill environment for small talk and a book, but also the best pastries I’ve had in Philly, comparable to the big name bakeries in NYC. The macarons are also very well done, with flavours that delights the soul. There’s nothing bad about this cafe to comment on. Note how they even wrapped the cruffin in a beautiful way to ensure it doesn’t topple in the paper bag and looks beautiful when you take it out. It is pretty pricey for pastries if you are not used to paying for good quality pastries but worth every penny. 5/5 on all aspects.

Best macarons I’ve had since I went to France. Wildly flavorful while not being nearly as sweet as most macarons I’ve had typically were. And the canele was a surprise, loved the crispier outer texture and soft and spongy interior. The staff was just as sweet.

Greatly enjoyed the delicious croissant and cruffin we got at ICI Macarons & Cafe. Needed a lil'pick-me-up, and these treats hit the spot. The cafe itself is small, but bright, and service was prompt and pleasant, though it was bustling on a cold and rainy afternoon.

Loved this little spot. Cozy inside, coffee was good & macarons were delicious! Very well made. I grabbed a honey lavender vanilla iced latte & it was yumm! I recommend this place.
We stumbled upon this bakery after visiting Betsy Ross house and so glad we did! One of the Best bakeries we have been so far! The chocolate croissant was buttery and crispy on the outside but moist and chocolaty in the inside. My egg tart was also so delicious. We ordered other items from the bakery and everything was worth the calories. How is wish we live in Philadelphia so we can keep going back to this bakery. Even their coffee was sooo tasty. The service was pleasant as well. They were very friendly and told us that all the pastries were baked in house. The bakery smelled so delicious even from our parking outside. The vibe of the bakery was relaxing. Can't wait til we can go back to this bakery.

This is my absolute favorite place for macarons in the city. There are so many different flavors to choose from, and each texture is unique yet perfect. You get that nice crunch with the gooey center that i love. They sell other cafe items as well. I have only tried a few of them, including the lavender lemonade and I have never been disappointed. The only thing I will say is that it's pretty small, so there isn't a lot of space to sit down, do work, and enjoy your treats. However, it is perfect to pick up if you're in the area. Lastly, the packaging is super cute, so it would be very romantic as a little Valentine's Day gift paired with flowers like in my photo (:
