A solid local gem that manages to be eclectic (it's a functioning record store, for reals!) without being annoying about or impeding it's function as a coffee house and cafe. Makes a great use of it's space, the walk up window on Columbia is super helpful for those with dogs etc. the food options are excellent and not overly fussy. It can be a bit chaotic during prime times but it's at the heart of fishtown, what are you even doing here if you're not into chaos?

We used to love coming here every weekend for food, coffee — and always bring our dog. Recently, a girl working here with a barbed wire tattoo on her arm yelled at us literally across the shop to take our dog outside—despite no signs, prior issues, or anything from any other staff or the owner. Then gave us attitude when handing us our food. Really disappointing.

While the space is cool and the baristas are so nice their food menu has gone downhill. I think they pulled back on a lot of food items which I get but their breakfast tacos were the best. The breakfast burrito basically all unseasoned potatoes. And their coffee is pretty good but sometimes gets way too sweet and less coffee.

Stopping here for a stop rest for my road trip to NYC. The coffee shop is a hidden gem. I enjoy the latte and very nice interior designs. It's not too crowed and i can sit get some work done with stable internet.

My dad got a cappuccino and I got a chai latte. My chai latte was super hot, which I really love and appreciate. Overall, I think the flavor was ok. I also liked that it wasn’t too sweet but, it didn’t have much chai spice semi bland. It was good & overall I’d say average morning refreshments! I didn’t try any food but this is a local spot so I’ll be back to give other things a go.

The coffee was not good but the service was very friendly. I didn’t like that I was served a to go cup even though I was dining in.
Will I be back? Probably not.

Such a cool coffee shop!!! So glad I decided to give it a try while in Philly. Coffee was delish and so was the bagel. Can’t remember the name but it consist of cream cheese, tomato, cucumber and avocado.. sooooo good!!! Sat by the window and didn’t want to leave.

Such a cool spot!!!! A record store and cafe is such a genius combination. Great food and drinks and amazing record selections. All the staff here have good vibes. Super badass vintage ads and posters framed on display everywhere which was a plus for me. I really like the Avocado Toast Malone and the matcha latte. I walked away with the new Perfume Genius record and my brother got a few albums as well. Very decently priced. We'll definitely go again whenever we're in the area!! Much love

Cool vibes soured by agitated staff. Wouldn’t recommend unless you like a nice morning ruined by yuppies
