50 Best Coffee Shops near Swarthmore

“Oh Hobbs I love you but… In the past 3 weeks you have double charged my credit card for breakfast, forgotten my friends coffee order thus making us late to an important function and this morning I went in for a bagel with cream cheese… and there was no cream cheese on it … please please please do better.“

“This is by far my favorite Dunkin Donuts. Me and my family look forward to seeing Rajwinder k. Most people seem to be miserable nowadays, so it is always refreshing to come across a genuinely friendly person who makes our order quickly and accurately! Keep up the great work! 😊“

“Can’t praise this place enough!! Their delicious food, kind and accommodating staff, everything was out standing and so yummy. Coffee was made exactly to my liking and tasted perfect.“

“The place is super cozy. The dessert options are just right and the gluten-free options are so delish. The cortado was yum with latte-art; super special. I was passing by Media and craved something sweet so I found this place by chance. The owner is fabulous, she’s friendly and super nice to chat with. I wish her lots of successful years here. I wish i had this place closer to me.“

“oh this was my favourite place in philadelphia. fantastic location, great service and great food. excellent music too. if I lived in philly this would be my local. thanks everyone for a fabulous experience. ❤️“

“Really loved this boba spot. It’s super clean, calming, and has a fresh vibe that just feels good to be in. The staff were friendly and quick. I got the signature drink super smooth and not too sweet. Everything just felt well-made and thoughtful. Definitely a new go-“

“Good coffee and fast service“

“This is my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! What a way to start off my Birthday! Yes! Today's my Birthday! I only live a few minutes away. I've wanted to come here for a while and today I made it. They did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service is lovely. It's just the vibe that you look for in that cozy neighborhood spot. The price points are just right as well. I'll definitely be making Camellia one of my regular neighborhood go to's.“

“Had the Spring Fling coffee today, IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Never have I had coffee like this. It was robust but mild, with hints of lavender, thyme and pink peppercorns. Absolutely a must have for those that go regularly. I live in NJ so sadly I won’t be here often and I’m sad about that.“

“This place is so cool! I don’t drink but I think it’s really unique to blend a coffee shop with a whiskey bar. For those like me, they have a ton of coffee options and non alcoholic options that feel unique and special. Great cozy vibes inside too.“

“As a hermit myself, Eremita is the most inviting coffee shop in the area. Yeah sure you could go to Dunkin or Starbucks also on Ridge Ave , but neither of those stores are anything like Eremita. When you walk into the cutest coffee shop in town you’ll fall in love with its eclectic charm instantly. You can immediately tell that this place was built with love and care. They have art on the walls you can buy and other cool events like open mic nights and crafting. While they don’t have sandwiches or big meals, the pastries are to die for, especially the savory puff pastries. There are probably a dozen or so small coffee shops around, but Eremita will also be my go to.“

“The staff was great. The drinks and food was awesome! I loved it...“

“Great food at very affordable prices“

“Nice place too grab coffee while my cycle got some service.“

“Wonderful place! Good coffee, food and gifts.“

“The best, they are so wonderful here!“

“I’m a cortado snob and they always deliver perfection. Plus their croissants are the best of any coffee shop I’ve been to in this area, which I think is all of them. It’s strange to have to even make note of this, but especially when I’m in a coffee shop, I really prefer being able to talk to a real live person to place my order and not have to navigate a touchscreen. Chatting with the baristas is part of the enjoyment and reason for leaving your home. So another five stars for human interaction. 😅“

“I LOVE this market. they even stayed open a few minutes late for my boyfriend and I after I called saying we weren’t going to arrive until 4:58 on a saturday. like, THANK YOU. we had a delicious easy dinner with tasty beets, dolmas, pasta, and gigantes. I love this place and the food is always fantastic and fresh and perfectly vinegary.“

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.“

“Great coffee! Always great customer service!“

“My husband and I go every Monday. Great food and great service every time! Today our server today was Rey. Always does a great job and is so friendly!!“

“Pancakes were big dry things. I would only give this place three stars.“

“Delicious lattes, great service, cool space & vibe!“

“Kinda like sister of bông lan trứng muối. It is not made with sponge cake so there is no softness and airy texture. It has salted egg and pork floss. This place is small and quite with different drink and dessert options, and it is nicely decorated.“

“OCCC has been a 10/10 every time. My favorite is the iced dirty hippie (chai and a shot of espresso) and I love that they offer either spiced or vanilla chai. Their chai is creamy and delicious. I also love that they have such a great iced tea variety and plenty of fruit flavored syrups to add to them! You don’t find many coffee places anymore that have those options. Also their pastries are chefs kiss.. recently got the banana bread and the Tandy cake. SO good! Staff has always been friendly and it’s always been a quick stop. Thanks again!!“

“Drove up from Harford County, MD. Upscale cafe’. Well oiled machine. Fantastic food. The staff is great, especially SABRINA. She’s dynamic, genuine and interactive. We will be back!“

“So happy The Irish Coffee Shop catered our St. Patrick’s Day Party. They went above and beyond to ensure the food was perfect, and that we had everything we needed for a successful night. Thank you!“

“Today I stopped at The Hungry A. I have driven buy there many times. As I walked in the owners and people in there all greeted me like they know me. I had a coffee and it was one of the best I ever had. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I will be be back. But what really got to me I walk with a cane and one of the girls there saw I was having a hard time she came around the counter and took what I was carrying and helped me to my car. Today there are not many people that are kind as she was. It made me know that there is still kind people in this world. If every would take the time to be kind to someone just once maybe it could be a start to make this world just a little better“

“Pics do not do this food justice at all!! This is by far the best pho i’ve had in years. The flavor of the broth was amazing, the ingredients were all fresh, and the homemade chili oil was such a good addition. So happy we tried it out, we’ll definitely be repeat customers!“

“Great coffee, and amazing community.“

“Leeana super sweet Gave me birthday pancakes“

“Excellent service, excellent Baker. A true and delightful Patisserie.“

“TLDR: open every day, AMAZING COFFEE, chill dudes, complimentary mint water with mint grown on site with composted coffee grounds!!Stopped in by chance a few weeks ago and have been coming back regularly because THE COFFEE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! Got to talking to the owner about it (really charismatic and generous dude super welcoming) and it's obvious he cares deeply for the coffee making process. He was talking about how important the altitude and climate are in the end result of the bean as well as the way they are pressed (something to do with the oils in the roasted bean). Gets his beans from Costa Rica and is clearly very proud of his source and for good reason. Forgot to confirm but I believe they are Arabica beans which I hear are pretty tricky to do justice. Also seems like they have a great machine because the end result was a really smooth, warm, toasty coffee that was so easy and enjoyable to drink! Bonus: they compost the coffee grounds in the pots around the cafe where they grow their own mint. They then pick that mint and always have a pitcher of cool iced mint infused water which was the perfect way to stay hydrated while drinking coffee. All that and a cool location, with an interior I did not expect but pleasantly surprised me (a bunch of interesting paintings and usually music playing) and great conversation to top it off. It was an incredibly pleasant and welcoming experience and that's what's been bringing me back. I'm glad they're open every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: Zero point entry from the sidewalk into the outdoor seating. Ramp up to the interior and a wheelchair accessible bathroom with support bars to help transitioning from wheelchair“

“What can I say about Starbucks that hasn't been said before. I go for the free wifi and a snack. I don't drink coffee so, can't help with that. But it is a great place for a business meeting or to do some work on the computer. The challenge sometimes is getting a seat!! Most places have seats and tables and it is very conducive to work. If you ever need a quick place to stop to jump on to a conference call, Zoom meeting or a place just to do some work. Try a Starbucks.“

“Delicious coffee and treats, yummy healthy options too. The staff is super friendly. Support local businesses!“

“Excellent bagels, but at times Nick is out of certain selections, especially when busy.“

“the barista Max. he made the absolute best frappe I've ever had at Starbucks. the amazing this was, that they stopped making the tripe mocha frappe.. but he told me he can make me something close.. the first sip I Took, I called the store to thank them. that's how good.“

“We are really lucky to have a great food place like Platform Z in Bala Cynwyd. Their poke is delicious and also had a taste of their ramen which was so comforting and tasty! Please make sure to check them out and try everything on the menu :)“

“Delicious ice-cream with some classic and some unique seasonal flavors (like lavender)!“

“I had an outstanding experience at Starbucks, all thanks to the amazing team of Zona, Enes, and Eva. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by their warm smiles and upbeat energy. You could instantly tell they love what they do and take pride in creating a great atmosphere for customers.

Zona took my order with such care and patience. She listened closely, offered great recommendations, and made sure every detail was noted. Her kind and professional attitude really set the tone for the visit.

Enes was preparing drinks with incredible speed and precision. Even though the store was busy, he stayed calm and efficient, and my drink came out perfect. He added a personal touch by checking in to make sure I was happy with everything, which I really appreciated.

Eva was handling the front and interacting with customers in such a friendly, genuine way. She helped a few customers who had questions, and you could see how easily she made everyone feel comfortable. Her energy was contagious and added so much positivity to the environment.

The teamwork between Zona, Enes, and Eva was seamless. They supported each other, kept things running smoothly, and made every customer feel valued. This kind of service is rare, and it made my visit memorable. Big thanks to all three of them—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I had not heard of this bakery but a friend suggested meeting there a couple evenings ago. This was the Burke, VA location. The choice of pastries was pretty amazing, what we had was fresh and truly outstanding, service was efficient and friendly, and the place itself was very clean. Will be back!“
