Vernick Coffee Bar

Everything is very high quality and delicious, but also expensive. I would rank it at 5 stars if there weren't a lot of other high quality and delicious places in center city that you can get similar things for cheaper.

Gingerbread muffin and poached pear danish were great. Would've been nice to know that the cookies don't come out until 11am.

We had huge hopes for the 2 dessert pies ordered for Thanksgiving dinner. $100 for 2 pies should knock your socks off. Presentation was stellar but flavor did match the cost. We love the restaurant but the desserts are way below average. Super disappointed.

Taisha is the most wonderful greeter and server. Always makes you feel welcome. This is a beautiful, pretty quiet place for lunch. Food interesting but I always order from the coffee bar, which is delicious.

Vernick is my favorite coffee bar and cafe in the city. The coffee is always perfect with an unbelievable selection of pastries, sandwiches, and soups. The miso mushroom soup is so rich, creamy and chuck full of whole wild mushrooms. I have this at least every other week. If you have more time to have a sit down lunch try the cafe. James Beard level meals in an approachable atmosphere with fabulous service.
A true gem in the heart of Centre City. Plan ahead an book a tour of the sphere to complete the experience.

It’s a nice spot. Staff are super friendly, plenty of bar seating for laptop work, and restrooms are large and clean.

I generally like this place, but was recently served boiling hot latte. Not sure what the intention of the barista was but I don’t believe that this was an accident. Not coming back

I’m really don’t know why Vernick doesn’t have a better overall rating. I’ve been coming here for about 3-4 years whenever I come to town and it’s always been excellent. The staff are friendly, the food (that I have had) was great - heard the croissant and chocolate chip cookie are incredible), but most importantly they make bloody good coffee. I always sit in for an espresso or cortado, then take an iced cold brew to tide me over.

Bravo Vernick team - consistency isn’t easy but you make seem so.

The Vernick name is a stamp of quality. The croissant was one of the best I’ve had: toasty, buttery, fluffy, not greasy at all. I also loved the satin-like butternut squash soup and the jammy cold brew. The Americano was a huge step down from the cold brew, though, as it tastes way past dark roast.

The dining area is open, airy and perfect location for a business lunch- my reason- but any reason is good! Soups were delish- butternut squash with rosemary and miso- salads divine- grilled romaine with figs and shaved fennel/apple. Menu nice size with good selection for all tastes. Service super friendly, attentive, and purposely staged soups then salads so we had adequate time for all. Highly recommend and they do reservations for lunch!

i almost want to keep this find to myself. a truly ideal working space to come for coffee, a quick chat, etc. its a beautiful space with plentiful chargers and i really like their espresso lol

Always a wonderful place for a leisurely, special lunch. This time, however, service was poor. It was as if our wait person didn't want to see us. Had to request dessert menu and then bill another wait person. Not your usual level of service.

Nasty staff. Made several rude comments while we asked for a bag and tried to pay.
