Small cafe but cute vibes inside. I love their coffee bean packaging. They have a couple specialty drinks and I got the iced raspberries and cream latte which had raspberry and vanilla syrup. Service was quick and my drink came out with minimal waiting time. There is some bar seating inside and a couple tables outside. Parking was really tough for me to find. Definitely easier to walk here than drive.

I loved the coffee. I got a small hot latte with vanilla and oat milk and it was so good that I wished that I had a larger size. The reason that I pulled this review from five stars to four is because the counter where you can add milk, sugar, and where you put the lid on your drink has been dirty The last couple times I've been in. I wish I took a picture but this past time there were open boxes taking up a majority of the counter, and then the remainder looks like it had not been wiped down in quite a few days. It was dirty, Sticky from sugars and liquid mixing, and it was just not a great site to see. The coffee was good, but the cleanliness could be better

Vibrant is the sister cafe to Function on 10th and Carpenter, which means that their sourdough pastries are just as delicious. This week was a blood orange and rhubarb roll, and it was fantastic: lightly sweet and chewy but not overpowering . The baristas at Vibrant, however, I think are better than those at Function. My coffee was way less watery and more full-bodied and rich. I ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte, and it tasted like I was drinking the milk after finishing a big bowl of the cereal. So tasty! They don't have much seating inside, and it's a tight squeeze to order and wait for your beverage. But, there are some additional tables outside and the proximity of Rittenhouse Square makes it easy to find somewhere to enjoy your pastry and beverage on a nice day.

Tea is okay. Avocado toast isn't great - could really benefit from some salt or lemon or both. Croissants were okay. Hope not to return. Customer service leaves much to be desired.

Stumbled upon this coffee shop after a workout class one day and was very pleased. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by smiles from all the staff. I ordered an oat latte which was delicious! I didn't get to try and of the food/baked goods but I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in the city!

A super tiny coffee shop, like 4 seats, and a whole late people. We got in on a weekend morning and it was super busy. Their baked goods seems to be sourdough themed: sourdough bagels, sourdough croissants and sourdough bread. They also have a bunch of fun latte flavours as well. Spiced orange mocha - reminiscent of the Mexican hot chocolate. It was good with balanced flavour of chocolate, spices and orange, not much sweetness. As a coffee drink, this would work with a select audience. Cinnamon roll - A unit of a cinnamon roll with lots of icing on top, nice! Other than that didn't feel like it had anything else unique, but still pretty solid pastry. Apple Brie danish - On paper a delicious combo. Sourdough was pastry here was interesting, incorporated more complex flavour but also made the dough a bit harder. It felt like there was not enough Brie in the pastry.

Always reliable! Fun specials, the cookie butter and spicy orange mocha lattes are good. Good matcha latte as well, gets crowded on the weekends but they keep it moving. Great for sipping in the park, they have a few seats outside but no indoor seating as it's a really small space

Vibrant is a go to coffee spot for me. I always bring friends from out of town here to start our day in center city. The coffee and pastries are awesome and they were very careful and considerate of my friend's allergies which is always a plus.

Amazing flavors! Tried the cookie butter latte and Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte and both were outstanding and not too sweet. Baristas were really nice and helpful with deciding what to get!
The Lavendar Latte with Oat Milk is amazing. Must try!!! The staff is super sweet.

Have been ordering his coffee online since owner first opened over two years ago. Bean offerings are consistently outstanding, on par easily with Seattle, WA.

Almond croissant I had on Saturday 1/13 was rock hard and considering the cost it was pretty disappointing. Oat milk latte was pretty standard but nothing to write home about, especially since it took so long to make. It is so crowded in here because of the size of the shop, even when it wasn't really crowded. I came in long after the morning rush and the area with lids, napkins, etc was a mess even with lots of workers and no crowd. I was really underwhelmed. A good coffee didn't make up for the rest of the experience. However, I hear good things about the bagels and specialty lattes, so I will give it another chance and avoid the midday Saturday timeframe.

***This is a review of the coffee beans I picked up at Vibrant*** I walked into a nice little coffee shop in Rittenhouse square on the recommendation of one of my friends. I wanted to get some beans for my new coffee machine (sorry coffee shops, I am now an at home coffee machine addict). I picked up some expresso beans which smelled amazing (I smelled the peach and chocolate type smell the beans have to offer). The beans tasted really silky in the cappuccinos I made. Hopefully, I can be a real coffee aficionado and go into more details into the flavor profile.

A hole in the wall, the ambiance could definitely be improved upon. While service wasn't mean, they definitely weren't friendly. We bought a bag of beans, a chai, and an oat latte. The drinks weren't white warm, and the chai, though I asked for it just just be slightly sweetened, was a bit too sweet. Hopefully the beans are better than our experience in store.
