Amazing drinks, vibes and atmosphere. A barista named Paul was one of most friendliest people I’ve meant in all my years of visiting cafes. He makes sure everything is done correctly. This place has been a great start to my day as long as Paul is there I know I’m going to a fantastic day.
Very good coffee! This is a mandatory stop if you are in Philly!
Best coffee in Penn Square! The cheese danish pastry was yummy too. My cold brew tasted good. I liked the self service milk and syrup station. The draught latte was interesting! A little milk-forward for me, but my wife liked it. Don't let the line bother you. It moves quick.
Very good place to drink coffee in the morning, the staff serves quickly so that the long snaking queue is quickly passed. The taste of the coffee is world class, the view of Philadelphia city hall. recommended place
Capuccino was excellent, though disappointed there was no flair to it (how about a heart or a flower?) croissant was good too.
