The restaurant was well lit and clean. Staff were attentive. The food here was amazing! Probably the best Vietnamese food I've had in Philly so far. The meats were not overly charred and tender. The ingredients were fresh. Not to mention the large portions on the vermicelli! The banh mi bread was really good and crispy on the outside. The only thing odd was to pay and tip before we ate food. I guess we could've left tips on the table after instead if we had cash. That said, it was convenient to go up to order without waiting for the waiters. Thanks for the good food!!

I would maybe not include tooth picks in the take out items since someone else may have trouble seeing it and bite into it as well

They have a variety of pastries including donuts from Dottie's donuts. Pastries also included muffins, cornbread, cookies, cinnamon rolls and more! Staff were friendly and lively interacting with customers. They have a large variety of coffee and tea drinks, hot and iced including house roasted coffee. I had the iced matcha with vanilla that was perfectly balanced. Looking forward to trying other drinks in the future. Would Recommend!

Everything was perfect, the milk based drinks were creamy and the loaf a little sweet but paired nicely. I especially liked the crust on it, it might have been soaked in something? You also get a cup of drip coffee after buying a bag of their beans, which was a little sour. Their beans were okay, didn't seem to have an any discerning notes but it wasn't bad.

Yes, the beer is expensive, but the convenience is nice in Grad Hospital for just swinging by and grabbing something. Additionally, they have tables to chill inside while you're drinking.

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!

I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why…read more I'm not from the area--in fact, I live in Los Angeles, about 2,700 miles away. My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

Inside AC is blasting (in a good way) so if you run cold, bring your jacket! I don't think the chairs are that comfy to stay long, and not very suitable to have a coffee yap with friends. If you buy their coffee beans (which is so economical!!) you'll get a free drink of choice!! I had their pumpkin spice latte w oat milk and it was tasty! Not overtly sweet and tasted like autumn and crunchy leaves! The staff seemed very nice and knowledgeable, not pretentious!

Also noticed a seasonal grapefruit sage espresso soda on the menu, which would be refreshing on a warm day when you want a change from iced coffee. Very clean with several tables along the windows for laptops (although I didn't scope outlets) and several outdoor tables on the sidewalk. They sell pasties that looked like were from a legit artisan bakery, and I appreciated the small standing bar area they had off to the corner just past the entrance. Definitely recommend this location of Rival Bros.

I got an iced latte, the Jerusalem Bage withl Smoked Salmon Scallion Cream Cheese, Cucumbers, Pickled Red Onions it was incredible.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

I usually like my desserts to have more of a bang, but if you're into lightly sweet things that aren't too heavy, the non-chocolate items are for you. The two chocolate cakes I tried were delicious. Very chocolately, great textures. Overall I'm glad I tried A La Mousse but probably won't be going tout of my way to return in the future.
