I've walked by this place a ton and finally stopped in today to try something. So happy I decided to stop in. I may have had the most delicious oat matcha of my life today! It is a bit sweeter than some other establishments, so if you don't like it sweetened - I'd probably try a different drink. Very excited to try the roasts and espresso on my next visit here after reading the great reviews. The inside of the shop is very clean and modern. There are individual charging spots by the window seats. There is also great natural light here. Cannot wait to visit again soon!

I frequent this shop on the weekends. Usually Sundays. There are consistently two men who sit in the shop and speak loudly about politics, specifically making very racist and homophobic comments and using vulgar profanity over and over. I understand that people may speak freely, but it is every weekend VERY loudly. Every customer looks visibly upset. Customers and baristas are visibly uncomfortable. I love this place and the coffee, but the uncomfortable and negative environment that those customers are creating are making me search for a new weekend coffee spot.

Service was nice and humble.Location is great but only for ordering and leaving. Don't plan to hang out here it doesn't have a stay and hang out vibe-way too small.I asked what options were available for black coffee and one option was offered-medium roast. I deep down wanted them to say, "we have medium roast but can do a pour over of xyz." My opinion is if you sell the coffee then at least offer to make it.The medium roast I had was decent but nothing crazy interesting. It's a solid, everyday coffee. If you're in the neighborhood definitely try it.

The young brown haired woman I see here most days is very kind and knowledgeable! Service is great from her. The lattes and cold brew are delicious and you can add any flavor to them. It's always clean in there and they have great menu options, especially for the holidays! I live around the corner and love it here!

They take their coffee seriously, and it's seriously good.

One of the best in Philly. Keeping up their standard and improving with outdoor seating.

Great coffee. I'm a coffee snob. The espresso was great.
The coffee is excellent, the welcome is warm and the place is very zen for working, with a few pretty tables outside. The little details: the design of the cups is just perfect for transporting without burning yourself.

The shop has a clean, minimalist design. The cheese danish was good and the pastries are displayed in the case neatly. Aesthetics seem to be the main focus here.As for the cappuccino I had, it fell short. Being a traditionalist, I was disappointed when I was asked what size I'd like. As I feared, a "small" is a whopping 12 ounces. At that point, you're drinking a latte. I'm also confused since the menu doesn't list sizes. I also wasn't asked if I'd like it to stay or to go, and so it was served in a throwaway cup. I always have mine to stay, so lesson learned that I should make it a habit to specify. Finally, it was scalding and watery, rather than having the rich, velvety texture I'm accustomed to at Blue Bottle and Stumptown. It's an upgrade from Starbucks, to be sure, so the average consumer would probably enjoy this place--but traditionalists with more exacting standards might be disappointed.

I tried to call by there's no number. I'm curious because I actually did a test on this. I just went there and got a chai and for some reason it taste lighter, to a point that not even the ginger in the chai concentration is felt. I wonder if the brand was change. Or if is that Stefan puts les concentrate for me, because I tast this by buying multiple chai for other employees at this shop and the chai was amazing, the ginger and the other spices where felt but with this particular person seems to be a common thing. I hope I'm wrong because this will be terrible. Thank for the other employees for always keeping the drink with the same consistency. And I love this shop. I was one of the first customers to attend. Not trying to offend to trying to find out why ? And I tested :) .
