Their coffee is strong, smooth, and exactly what you need to start the day right. What truly sets this place apart is the locals' vibe: everyone knows each other by name, quick laughs bounce between tables, and friendly waves ripple down the sidewalk like one big extended family. It's the warm, genuine side of Philly and its people that too often gets overlooked--the kind of neighborhood soul that makes the city special.

Topped with sharp provolone for bitter balance (better than arugula places sometimes use to achieve this balance). I'll add, though, that the bottom half of the roll was dried out (partially stale). I didn't want to allow that to cloud the review because the interior bones of this sandwich were phenomenal and I think this is a 5-star place. However, next time I should politely ask for a new roll.

The staff is friendly and great at recommending new and fun drinks. Unfortunately the last two times I've stoped by, my iced latte was a bit burnt. Not to the extent that is wasn't drinkable, but not awesome for an 8 dollar drink. I grabbed a matcha on my first visit and that was great, I'll be sticking to their matcha on future visits. Overall, a great cafe to work from and hang out a bit!

They are pricey so you do pay the price. The cream is filled when you order so the shell doesn't get soggy. I tried the Pistachio $16. There were crushed pistachio on the shell.

It's a small corner shop right by Pat's, Geno's and the Garage. There is actually some Geno's memorabilia inside. It's a gourmet hot cocoa shop, the cheapest hot cocoa drink is the original and it was $12 at the time. It is fun to watch how they do it! The glasses are placed on a lazy Susan which is covered in chocolate shavings. They add whipped cream to the glass then pour in the hot cocoa. This is a great start but next they start shaving a variety of chocolate on top. Milk, dark, white. I don't even know what they all were but it was definitely fun to each the drink become richer and more delicious with every scrape. As if that isn't enough, if you order a drink that comes with marshmallow, they toast it with a small flame thrower. They also sell a variety of chocolate covered pretzels, cannoli, and gelato. Definitely worth trying for the experience and decadent drinks!

The drink was not too sweet and was simply a perfect concoction of ube and espresso. Along with my latte, I got one of ReAnimator's whole bean coffee bags. They have various selections to choose from, but I got the Rusher's Roast (go birds!) which features Saquon Barkley on the front. For this particular roast, the proceeds go directly to the School District of Philadelphia. As I was sitting inside enjoying my latte, I found the ambiance relaxing. The lo-fi music playing made me want to breakout a book or my laptop and have a productive afternoon (though I came empty handed this trip). Next time I'll plan accordingly!
