    Was in Philly for a work trip and stopped in here a few times to grab my morning coffee. First things first, the employees are super kind! The second morning I went in, the employee remembered my name and order which warmed my soul. I ordered a hot dirty chai latte and it was superior!!!! Definitely recommend trying it out if you like cinnamony, creamy coffee. I also got their chocolate croissant, which was baked fresh in the morning and that was as also really good. Their breakfast sandwiches look delish, but they run out super quick. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area!

    Solid coffee, 9/10 on my coffee scale. I went in 30 minutes before closing and spent a while resting and was not rushed. Obviously this place would've been my default go to spot had they existed when I lived here.

    I got the blash dirty chai latte (strawberry chai latte) and my daughter got latte. Both drinks were not tasty and didn't have nice espresso taste. The dirty chai latte has lots of syrup no taste of strawberry at all. I hardly could drink the whole cup and it was really pricey. Will never stop by at this coffee shop again. Dunkin has better taste and quality. But ı wanted to support small local cafe shops. Anyways , the only nice thing was the barista's making nice image on the lattes. The location is also nice because it is near the nice shopping areas.

    I stopped in during lunch on a weekday - it was pretty empty but a cute space with some seating up by the window and in another room towards the back. I was promptly greeted by the friendly employee who also answered my questions about the specialty drinks - I asked if they were very sweet and he said about 8/10 but he said he would make it to what sweetness I wanted. Much appreciated! I went with the specialty latte cupids arrow - he prepared it very quickly and it looked and tasted great (not too sweet!)! He let me know the specialty drinks were about to rotate so I'll be back to check out the new ones soon.

    Absolutely loved this cafe! We stopped by on our way for a day of shopping and it was the best decision. I really wish I would have remembered our coffee order but the menu has options for all coffee lovers. They also have a few baked goods that go perfect with your coffee (or tea). There's seating at the front of the cafe and more tables with seats in the back area. Customer service was great and I'm definitely adding this spot to my favs list!

    I'm in town on business and needed a good coffee shop. After searching around the hotel I'm staying at, I found that Black Turtle Coffee had great reviews. Even though there were only a few comments, it still looked amazing. Both the ambiance and the coffee selection were impressive. When I walked in, I encountered an extremely friendly staff and spoke to one of the co-owners. The drink that I ordered was a cold brew with sugar-free caramel and a cold foam topped with black sea salt, called the Zeppelin Cold Brew. I would highly recommend stopping by if you are in town, heading off of Walnut onto 18th, and grabbing a coffee. The atmosphere is semi-industrial, with bar-top seating that overlooks the sidewalk so you can people-watch if you like, or an upstairs area with a few tables.

    Excellent cappuccino, served with friendly smiles. Window seating looks out on some interesting old town architecture.

I don't think I've ever visited an an hour where I've seen it not. Often a line going from the counter, down the stairs, all the way to the bathroom. If you're looking for a quick coffee stop, don't expect to be in and out of here. That being said, they've got some kinds of seating not typical of coffee shops, including this nice long U-shaped couch seating. You'll be around with other folks reading or enjoying their joe, but it's a nice change of pace. Working-wise, wi-fi is solid. Outlets are sparse. Hard to stay a long time here. Music is at least at a tolerable level to tune out and is not usually too bumping. Staff here are quick, but won't be the friendliest. They won't be rude either. They're just trying to get through the line so don't take it personally Overall: would much prefer other places like Capital One Cafe for the reasons I visit cafes, but I can see this being a nice place for other more leisurely-natured visits!

On weekends…read moreespecially, the line genuinely never seems to slow down, so definitely expect a wait for both food and drinks. That being said, the team really does their best to get everything out as quickly as possible despite how packed it gets. Finding a table on weekends can also be pretty difficult, so I'd keep that in mind before going. As for the actual food and drinks, I've enjoyed most of the drinks I've tried here. I also love that they're always coming out with seasonal drinks and food specials, which keeps the menu fun and interesting. Definitely worth keeping up with their Instagram for updates. For the food though, there were a couple things I personally probably wouldn't order again. The J St Sando didn't have much flavor in my opinion, and the OG banh mi just wasn't anything particularly special to me. However, the tamarind fries and the gochujang fried chicken banh mi were delicious!! Those were definitely the standouts for me and what I'd come back for. Overall still a really fun spot with great energy and creative menu items.

    This place is super popular and has gone viral on TikTok for a reason--it's really worth the hype!…read moreTheir coffee selection is great, plenty of fun flavors to choose from. The only thing I'd say is I wish they had more hot coffee options, but I do still enjoy their iced drinks. My favorite part about this cafe is the food. I tried the Khang special banh mi and was blown away by how good and flavorful it was. Can't wait to come back and try more! The space is well-lit and large with plenty of seating, but it gets pretty crowded so expect to wait a while for a seat if you're there on a busy day.

They do have sidewalk tables though if the weather is nice. The space is clean and they have a restroom for customers. I stopped in on a cold Sunday morning, and it wasn't too crowded. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and my order was ready quickly. The shop seemed to have many regulars that the employees recognized, and it's definitely a dog friendly spot. I managed to grab a counter seat, but it wasn't super comfortable, and I constantly had people standing over me while waiting for their orders since there was nowhere else for them to stand. I ordered the Lucky Charms Bronut, which was a fun special for St. Patrick's Day. It was fresh and tasted good, but I expected the filling to be much sweeter than it actually was. Definitely more bun than sugary donut. I also ordered the Cherry Hazelnut Iced Latte, which was a monthly special. I was disappointed to not really taste cherry or hazelnut in it. The coffee was good quality, but I didn't get the flavors I expected. If you prefer your baked goods and iced lattes on the less sweet end of the spectrum, this is definitely your place, but my sweet tooth was a little disappointed.

It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available. Parking is on the street. Mild noise level. They have a good amount of drink options, including rotating specials, as well as pastries, bread, and misc items like granola and coffee beans. The drinks are delicious - definitely recommend their matcha. The pastries are huge, flavorful, and filling. Slightly dry but I did go right before closing. They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.
