What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"The coffee shop vibes are immaculate. Beautiful art work, good music, plugs everywhere. The coffee was really aight, I prefer something stronger. And the sandwich could have used more love, seasoning and less bread toasting, more grilling. I would recommend if you’re in the area and need to quickly get something done but there are other, better food options at other cafes."
"I flew in to Philadelphia early this morning to.catch a bus to delaware, and along the way I stopped here to grab a cofee and kill some time while I waited on the bus. The owner/barista was super nice. The coffee is good and cheap. I didnt get food so cant speak to that. But yall this place has the chillest most relaxed vibe. I love it. I highly recommend checking it out. The decor is awesome."
"Was looking for avocado toast, but it wasn't available. So I ordered the egg, tomato, and cheese wrap for breakfast, and I requested only half cheese. Then the nice lady asked if I wanted avocado, I said yes, then she followed up with if I wanted avocado instead of cheese, I said why yes please! 5 ⭐ service for knowing what the customer wants :) The wrap itself was good, 4 ⭐ (it would be ironic if the cheese would have made it 5 ⭐😅) Plain croissant was surprisingly heavy!! Probably twice as heavy as similar ones at other places, so I was thinking, "oh is there a pleasant surprise that there is some filling!?" There was no filling -- it was just more croissant to enjoy :) 5 ⭐ Very spacious inside, and lots of cool if not funky decor 😄 Overall I'd say the food is more 4 ⭐ but with the two pleasant surprises I'll just give the establishment 5 ⭐ overall -- good mood haha"
"Finally, a real coffee shop! My Black Sesame Vanilla Latte and Everything Bagel(sausage, egg, pepper Jack, spinach and garlic butter) were so yum! This space reminds me of your classic 90’s coffee shop, with offerings of a community space, art shows and a maybe a guy playing acoustic guitar in the corner. Stoked to have a comfy, cozy local spot to work and get my caffeine and snack fix!"
"Just a very chill neighborhood coffee shop that serves the neighborhood instead of corporate greed. Unlike the large corporate backed cookie cutter coffee shops that are popping up every where, this shop is owned and run by great people that actually live in the neighborhood. The shop is quirky and has a soul. Staff is fantastic and fun to actually have a meaningful conversation with (when they’re not busy). We must protect small local businesses at all costs."
"Was looking for a place to have a good cup of coffee and stumbled upon this establishment on the way to a different place. It's a really eclectically..."
