Love 🫶

I went to this cute coffee shop with my family while visiting the city and I absolutely loved it. The coffee is amazing and I highly recommend the Lavender Latte and the Vanilla Latte with oatmilk. The employees are super nice and kind. If you are feeling adventurous, ask them for recommendations because they have so many creative options. Wishing this business much success.

I got a focaccia muffin last time I was there and oh my goodness it was so good. I could probably eat 10 of those things.

Best coffee in Philadelphia (and their nearby competitors are solid). Their sourdough bread and pastries are a favorite!

Obsessed. I love a Saturday morning latte followed by a walk in the park. Sourdough bagels are yummy too!

Terrible chai latte absolutely no flavor - blandest chai ever

I’ve been coming to Vibrant daily for quite some time, and I can confidently say this is one of the best coffee spots in the area. If you genuinely enjoy quality coffee, I highly recommend trying their iced or hot cortado, Violet’s way. It’s consistently exceptional. For those who prefer something sweeter, their Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte is a fan favorite.

What keeps me coming back, beyond the coffee, is the warm and welcoming staff. They are some of the kindest people I’ve encountered in any coffee shop, always bringing a calm and friendly energy. Getting to know the employees has been a joy—they make Vibrant a truly special place.

If you’re looking for a place with both fantastic coffee and genuine, personable service, Vibrant is where you want to be.

I really enjoyed the coffee, the name actually describes it. The coffee was light and bright not dark and burnt. I would definitely get it again. We enjoyed our coffee in Rittenhouse park

I saw the great reviews here so wanted to give it a try but was so disappointed. The service here was so bad. The lady at the counter was not friendly with an attitude. We ordered iced coffees and a cinnamon roll. The coffees tasted burnt. It was it good at all. The cinnamon roll was good, but nothing great. Did not enjoy this place.

Delicious coffee, good breakfast sandwich, nice staff, great location.

I had high hopes about Vibrant, but came away frustrated and glad to move along in my day. We have all had these experiences and (sadly) they are not unique to Vibrant: the too-small shop with lots of customers, no clear line and no ability to see what is on offer until you are at the counter to order. The cafe simply isn’t well designed for the traffic they appear to get. This design makes it difficult for staff or customers to really have a positive interaction as everyone appeared slightly annoyed. None of the staff were making eye contact with any of the customers and basic customer service was missed. The shop itself was disordered and slightly cluttery—should I sit by this counter that is next to a juice refrigerator but slightly in the way of folks in line? Where do I wait for my drink? Having said all that, I’m not sure the frustrations were balanced by great coffee either. The espresso was solidly delivered and technically spot-on; neither the roast or the preparation yielded anything memorable. With other shops like Thank You Thank You just around the corner, Vibrant is not a place I’m likely to return to when I’m next in Washington Square. With better coffee, excellent customer service and a much more welcoming space, Thank You Thank You sets the bar for this neighborhood.
