    The best spot in Glenside for a delicious sandwich and coffee. Staff are always friendly food is always great. The atmosphere is amazing, love that it's right next to septa

    Your day can't start without Elcy's coffee

    Amazing coffee shop, it has an outstanding resemble of European/South American coffee shop, quiet, amazing scones, very nice selection of coffees and for this summer you can grab a yummy smoothie. Your day can be busy, but first Elcy's!

    Live blogging from Elcy's Coffee House: I'm having a hard time with this one, because I really, really want to like it. The owner and staff are so nice, and the coffee and food are great. And it's kinda cute that it's at the train station, so you can hear the whistle whenever it pulls out of the station (I'm a sucker for stuff like that). However, it smells like bacon and they are blasting country music. Random, right? The seating is not comfy (think train station benches) and there is a serious lack of outlets. Some of the tables are even in the same room where you buy your SEPTA tickets. Hmmm...I can't decide whether this is charming or just plain weird. My verdict: not a good place to get some work done (even though there's free wi-fi) but a great place to grab a cup of joe or a smoothie before you go on your way. Carrie E. out...

Love…read moretheir flavor of the week, and you can tell the curators are having fun with different flavors, herbs, and spirits. I also enjoy their coffee and treat myself to a pound of whole bean every few months. That said, their service leaves A LOT to be desired. On three different occasions recently, the service was unfriendly, slow, and borderline inhospitable. During my most recent visit, my friend arrived 10 minutes before me, sat in the bar area, and no one had even said hello to her. When I arrived, we sat for another 5-6 minutes. Nothing. Finally, I stood up and said "hi, can we order a few drinks," and the woman (who was on the phone the entire time) looked up, said nothing in response, walked over to us, and said "what can I get you?" It was a delicious cocktail, but we sat there for another 30 or so, finished our drink, and sat there again. We had to get up, put our coats on, and finally they looked our way, and I asked for the check. I've also noticed that there's usually 3-4 people working during peak hours, but in reality, only one person is putting in majority of the effort. The others are standing around talking or looking at their phones. Disappointing. Reality check, you're in the retail and customer service industry. You have to acknowledge your patrons. If this is the new norm, there are plenty of other places in the area with great cocktails. Hopefully they can turn it around, or hire new staff.

That plus a cup of delicious tea plus the background white noise of people's conversations made for a nice ambience for reading that I really enjoyed. I know that's probably not everyone's ideal environment for work, so take that according to your need. Wi-fi is good here, but a stunning lack of outlets here. I'd return when I'm in the area!

It's been such a welcome addition to the Ambler coffee scene since it opened a few years back. I've been a long time Backyard Beans devotee, but Wake has the better beans and general quality. I've gotten a number of their drinks over the years, but my favorite is still a classic cappuccino with oat milk (they've also got macadamia nut milk as the other vegan/dairy free option). For tea lattes, I would pick their matcha over their chai. They used to have a number of pricier but very tasty specialty lattes for the holidays, but this year (2025) it seems like they've streamlined their menu. The Tall Man got his capp with their peppermint mocha syrup, though, and found it delicious. I got a vanilla steamer as a treat for my little one, and it came with a little cinnamon dusted tree. They've expanded their food options and now have a bunch of pastries (muffins, croissants, etc) as well as hot sandwiches and toasts. I didn't see gluten free baked goods, but they have gluten free bread! The brand they use is quite good (if you like sunflower seeds, which I do), but the slices are on the small side - so when I got the Early Bird breakfast sandwich, the filling was positively spilling over the sides. At least they didn't skimp on that! Adding the garlic aioli made it just that much better. The coffee shop is in a cool little converted auto shop right across the street from the SEPTA train station. They've got a number of small tables and longer shared tables, making for a great place to meet up or grab a morning drink. Some folks do cowork there, but it can get quite crowded on the weekends and holidays. High chairs available for the little ones. There's not much parking in their lot, but there is street parking as well as parking at the train station. I'll be back again and again!
