The BEST Chai Latte in the city!! This coffee shop is a true gem in the heart of the city - great staff, quaint atmosphere on a quiet street with delicious drinks!

A gem! They roast a great variety of coffee beans that you can purchase to take home, which is what we regularly do. The cafe is also cozy and the people working there are very friendly. It's on a cute old side street in Old City (of course) and they also have two stalls in Reading Terminal Market.

The location is nice. The people there are ok, usually nice. The latte is 1/4 foam (should contain none. )The latte is warm, to properly make a latte it needs to be HOT. In order to "break" to milk to sugar, it needs to be hot. I'll try again ( been there several times, always the same no matter who makes it. Some instructions are needed to prepare a proper latte.

Cafe is tucked slightly away from the main road, but is really easy to get to. Atmosphere, coffee, and overall space are super welcoming — perfect for folks who are looking for not only a place to grab something to go, but also a work / study spot. Would highly recommend!

Love this place! Love how it's tucked away on an alley and feels intimate even though it's right in the center of Old City. Hard to find a coffee shop these days that has a good amount of seating and wifi. Could definitely spend some time working inside. Owners are great and really focus on keeping the heart of this place.

Cutty coffee shop on a quiet cobblestone street. I'm a sucker for outside seating and the homie and I got lucky and snagged the table out front. Direct sunlight. We needed it. People working were super chill. And shout out this coffee shop for having decaf drip available. Sometimes I'm on one from too much caffeine so it was nice to have a for here cup of decaf. My homie had a oatmilk latte and said it was fire. It's a cute spot. Honestly maybe my fav spot in Philly. It's a bit of a walk for me and it's worth it every time. Good walking coffee shop. If you're on foot and need a cup. It's a must hit

The perfect atmosphere to sit and wait to catch a glimpse of your unrequited love walking by. I never did but maybe you'll have better luck.Oh, their cheese danishes are fresh and flaky!

Nice place to do a bit of study or work (however when I was there the WiFi was not working well but it might've just been that day). Good selection of coffee products and ample seating inside!

Nestled among the old city brick streets is this delicious coffee shop! Great variety of seasonal flavors, and do-it-yourself coffee! Staff is very nice and there's so much to choose... including some beans to bring home with you. With all of the coffee shops around Philly, this is a nice gem that's a bit different than the rest. Try it for yourself!

Great spot for snacks and coffee. I may be doing something wrong but my wifi experience there is unusable (connection or speed issues)

Great coffee!! Cool little spot in an alley with seating space. They have coffee that you can pick up and also freshly made snacks like cookies.

This was a popular choice by far! I would see so many people carrying around their iconic cup and after trying it I could understand why. Their coffee was smooth and bold with no lingering aftertaste. The staff were quick and friendly and the service was great!
