I'm sensitive to coffee though so this was a great option. Got the redjam tea and it tastes just like the description! Service was also wonderful. Only complaint is why are there so many flies and very little seatingš

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

Cute, clean little coffee shop. Simple, but pleasant vibe. More importantly, the coffee was amazing, with fun specialities. I had their strawberry poptart, which was also bomb. Would be here all the time if I lived in the city!

I recieved a warm welcome. Baristas were very friendly. Atmosphere was very nice. However, my drinks were just terrible. My matcha taste like there was no matcha just straight up milk and the coffee was just as bad. I ended up throwing it away.

Super cozy and adorable atmosphere. The coffee and pastries are fantastic!
SPRING FOG $6 - a darker white tea with apricot, honey, and heather notes. I typically donāt like white tea because I feel itās too sweet but maybe because this one is darker I didnāt feel that way. I was deciding which to get when the staff said this was his favorite so I went with it. No regrets! It was good and my brother could tastes the honey and sweet notes. I felt like it was just nice tea.
I would get it again if someone wanted to check the place out. Very friendly staff. I love how laidback it felt for them. Small seating area. Fits about 6 people There is a bathroom

I try not to let a business's customer base skew my review of a place, because the business only has so much control over their customers. With that being said, the customer base I experienced today seemed to be regulars and I think that the quality of the customers is rooted in the quality of the community the place has built.
The short of my review is that everyone was very nice, the coffee was great, and the seats weren't very comfortable. Now let me go on.
When I entered today, there was very limited seating. The barista and customers all looked like they knew each other, and were enjoying a coffee tasting. I looked around the limited seating and it was like the barista read my mind, he said that everyone was friendly and would gladly make room.
I ordered 2 drinks and half listened to the group chat about whatever, and was playing with a music device. After I sat down I was invited to try one of the coffee samples that was being poured for the group. It was really kind of the barista to include me on that.
I was asked by a member of the group about the music device and shared a nice and short conversation about it that was friendly, but aware of my space. A little bit later the group had left, and said goodbye, when a group of two came in, and I shared a similar interaction.
It's not usual for me to write about the customers, but I think that the respect for personal space in a close shared cafe has to be something inherent in how the owners and employees have built this place out to be. Friendly and inviting, but careful of your being.
I greatly enjoyed the Midwinter Memory, and a shot of espresso in house, and then an Endless Summer to go. The coffee was great, but the people were even better. I will be back in the future, but I do wish they had better seating comfort.

The pandemic rocked small businesses so hard that niche artisanal coffee spots that pour a proper damn fine coffee became far and few between (again) that I almost forgot places like persimmon exist.
The expansion of 3rd wave āartisanalā coffee chains within the last decade greatly compromised the ambience and quality of their coffees that places like La colombe, blue bottle, stumptown feel as exciting as Starbucks these days. Living in rittenhouse, i futilely accepted this as reality and spent the past few years drinking unremarkable iced oat lattes in plastic to go cups and cutting down coffee consumption across the board because it did not spark joy; it was something I consumed so Iām a little less cranky at work.
After glancing at their menu, I decided I was going to enjoy the hot seasonal latte āfoolish tigerā because I had some time to kill and I havenāt actually sat down and enjoyed a hot latte at a coffee shop for months if not over a year.
Upon first sip i suddenly remembered how incredible coffee is and how I used to travel far and wide a for the best cup of coffee in each new city I visited. I slowly savored the coffee and noted the nuances in the beans like the fruitiness and acidity, the texture of the crema, the perfect amount of spice and sweetness (persimmon, ginger, maple, black walnut bitters). It was one of those rare moments when an experience is profound enough to snap you out of the autopilot of mundane life at that moment.
