“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! 😊“

“Just enjoy the coffee and maybe something to eat while on a bike ride through Swarthmore“

“Lovely lovely neighborhood cafe with yummy options otherwise scarce nearby. Favorites so far have been the pandan waffle, taro boba, the banh mi combo, but this place is always on my mind to try much more of the menu! The boba drink sizes are also much more generous for the price compared to others.“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went here with a few friends and was blown away by all the vegan options! I had the Grizzly breakfast sandwich, it was incredible. They also have some baked goods and a great selection of drinks. I added marshmallows to my golden latte 😋“

“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!!“

“I ordered 2 brown sugar milk teas and the mango cake. The milk tea was good I just wish I went earlier in the day bc they ran out of the tapioca boba. The mango cake was good. I don’t think I would buy it again bc of the price, but it’s something you buy bc of how nice it looks. The staff was very friendly and the store was clean.“

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

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

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

“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“

“Came back from Vietnam recently and wanted some Pho. Nom nam took me back for a minute . Started with the coffee, was bold and sweet. Got the pho dac biet, which was rich, savory, and had a unique flavor, as the pho spice blend was more star anise forward and a bit sweeter, complementing the richness of the broth. It also didn’t use much MSG to get that deep flavor. The scallions were also great quality, and the portions are generous for the price. South Philly isn’t far for a hub of Vietnamese food but the flavor of this place is more unique in a way. Highly recommend“

“Breakfast sandwich was very good , for my Birthday I got a complimentary cup of tea ☕️“

“Great food and good service“

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

“excellent coffee friendly n professional staff. the perfect stop right at the intersection of two interstates“

“10/10 do recommend. Excellent pup cup served. Filled to the top and swirled with love. Non dairy so belly doesn’t get upset. Mom loves their coffee and generally picks up some baked goods as well. I can generally convince her to share. My favorite is the lemon cake.“

“What a beautiful setting with amazing food and great ambiance. They offer unique events and items for purchase. Staff was amazing and I came home with a great fall centerpiece. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Wonderful restaurant! Best Blueberry pancakes I've had in years.“

“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 :)“

“Best shortbreads in Philadelphia.“

“Awesome. Always a good experience. No one beats their coffee!!“

“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!“

“My fiancé and I were in Wayne Pennsylvania for the first time and stumbled across this lovely One Café and I am not exaggerating when I say Rico, made me the best coffee that I have ever had and I am a snob about my coffee lol Other than the coffee being absolutely amazing the hospitality that we received was so welcoming and I feel like we walked out of there with new friends and with a huge smile on our face! Support your local businesses especially when they are as awesome as this place is!! 100000 stars!👌🏼👌🏼“

“Love this Starbucks in the Giant they always get it right!!“

“But Starbucks gets a 10 star !!!! I had Dunkin Donuts the other day an it was so weak the coffee, so wawa has the beat ... What happin to Dunkin.not like they use too be.“

“The place is absolutely mobbed every morning with commuters and students. Kudos to the store for staffing appropriately. Staff is always friendly and works with urgency during the morning rush. I highly suggest using the mobile app and ordering ahead to save yourself some time if you’re in a rush.“

“Isaac was fantastic. His communication, speed, control, and efficiency really stood out to me. Was like watching Magic Johnson playing basketball. I can tell that he was really good at what he does. Only reason this a 4star and not 5star review is because I was there to pick up an Uber eats order and had to wait longer than I would prefer but it was a busy Friday morning so I understand.“
