Stopped in to get an espresso and a pour over, and my friend had a lavender & honey latte that she thought was excellent. The espresso was tasty and the pour over was very good. I don't remember the specifics, but it was a natural Ethiopian coffee. Service was fast and friendly; there was plenty of seating and it was quiet. I've been to a few Elixr locations and have purchased their beans several times -- I always like everything I get from them. read more

I have been coming here for over a year now. I used to go to one in center city, but this is much closer for me. Elixir always have great coffee, and also seasonal drinks which aren't super sweet. My favourite is Kabocha latte in the Fall. Service is always friendly, helpful, and efficient. Since this location is inside a high rise building they are closed on weekends (which is a pity, but not too bad). I have been getting their winter seasonal drink - Butterscotch Pink Peppercorn latte with almond milk. It has subtle butterscotch flavour, a very nice pink peppercorn highlight, and subtle sweetness. Win win! read more

I got an iced strawberry latte (seasonal flavor), and it was so good!! The coffee was very smooth, not too overpowering, and the strawberry was a really nice touch - not too sweet. This is also next to the Quorum, which is an amazing place to do work. Lighting is amazing, so much table space with chargers, and free wifi (password on walls). Can't recommend this coffee shop enough. read more

I've been going to Elixr for sometime now and I always enjoy getting their Iced Strawberry Oat Milk Matcha as well as their other espresso drinks. The flavor of the strawberry is apparent and goes well with the matcha. The staff have always been friendly here. I also enjoy that there is ample seating right in the area at the Quorum Lounge if you wanted to get some work done. I'll definitely be coming back sometime! read more

Came here because I was looking for an alternative to sitting and working at Penn and this was right nearby on Market Street. Easy to miss because there is no signage on the outside and is located in the lobby of a larger corporate building. SEATING There is ample and a variety of flexible seating: - a communal table with outlets built into the table - sofas - secluded chairs DRINKS They ran out of the strawberry milk latte, which is what I came for. I got their matcha lavender latte & I don't know why I didn't think of this combo of flavors before. The floral lavender offsets any potential bitterness of the matcha. And as someone who is big into subtly sweet drinks, I appreciated this drink. Great place to work if you're looking for free wifi and to be surrounded by really bright colored furniture/walls. read more

The caramel black salt was delicious and very interesting! My friend got the strawberry latte which was also great and had a unique flavor compared to other strawberry flavored drinks. Service was great as well. The espresso itself was good quality! Would definitely return! read more

Loved doing some work here. Don't get confused if you can't find it right away as it's hidden inside the 3675 market street building which looks like an office building. It's straight ahead once you head inside though. The day I went the service was nice but I have to say it's better at the location in Rittenhouse. I got the butterscotch pink peppercorn latte and it was fantastic. Very buttery but balanced out by the slight spice of the peppercorns, not to mention it was also very pretty. Great place for getting some work done. There's some small tables with charging stations right by bar as well as accessible bathrooms. But there's also the Quorum, a working space right next to it with even more tables. The building also gets lots of sunshine so it makes being productive less depressing. Also free wifi, what more could you need! read more

Drip coffee is GROSS. I didn't want to spend that much on coffee so I got drip expecting it to be at least a little better than Starbucks or something but no, it's bad. Way too harsh and bitter. Seems like they are only good for their specialty drinks. Just based off drip coffee I'd give it one star, but I'm giving it another star bc I trust everyone else's reviews about their lattes and cold brew which I haven't tried. read more

Definitely my favorite coffee place in University City, maybe all of Philly to be honest. Getting my usual Iced Mocha, I'm never disappointed. The Beekeeper Espresso is perfectly balanced with the chocolate and the oat added a very nice flavor to the drink (not lactose-intolerant so I try diff. milks each time). My friends got the Iced Vanilla Lattes and said it was also some of the best coffees they've ever tried. Their drinks are worth their price for sure. Usually, they only have one worker, so it can get busy if there's ever a rush. It's a pretty hidden location inside of a building, but there's some limited seats for studying or doing work. My go-to coffee shop if I'm looking for quality mochas for sure!! read more

The interior is very nice here with a very open and bright space. I love the colors of the place with the colorful sofas and greenery, it is a great study space and well-managed. I ordered the iced matcha strawberry and an almond croissant; surprisingly enjoyed both! I was worried about the strawberry matcha because I got it once with oatmilk and I found the flavor ratio to be too unbalanced to enjoy, but this iced drink was made well! Although I personally prefer more matcha taste, I still liked the drink. The almond croissant was also very yummy with a crunchy exterior and delicious almond paste filling (not a cream!). They have other pastries such as doughnuts, tarts, and beignets, and I hope to try more with different drinks! The baristas were friendly and patient with customers as they considered drink and pastry options. Giving 4/5 for overall experience, not sure how the coffee is. read more

Welcome back to University City! Elixr coffee is the best way to kick start a busy work or school day. The pop up delivers the exact same high quality espresso drinks that the Center City flagship does. My go to favorite beverages are an oat milk latte (for when I've got a few minutes to spare for the barista to handcraft) and a large hot coffee with oat milk ($2.50 and I'm out the door). Be warned that there is only one employee working at a time; if you unluckily are behind an intern doing an afternoon coffee run, the wait can be 15 minutes. I'm in love with the lobby space that the pop up is in. It's called CIC/ Quorum and it has many tables with outlets for quiet work. It's kept very clean and has free WIFI. This has become my favorite study spot in the last few weeks. read more

Went to the University City (Market St.) location and it's a spectacular study location. There is a huge area with desks and natural lighting that I would come again just to study. But beyond a great location, the coffee was great! I got a hot Americano with steamed oat milk and it had a smooth yet sweet- almost-like-a-latte taste. My friend ordered two of their pastries but found them to be eh. I'm not sure if Elixr directly makes these pastries or sources them from somewhere else. She got their blueberry almond tart but found it just tasting like an almond croissant with a lack of blueberry. The croissant was good but when she asked if she could get it heated up, there was only a microwave option. read more

This place got me thru undergrad!! Absolutely love Elixr's coffee and out of all the coffee shops I've been to before, I still think Elixr is the best. This location is perfect for studying/working as the lobby is brand new and full of nice tables. Their cappuccinos are incredible and their cold brew and lattes are also great. I also love how they have Dottie's donuts as these donuts are so good, you can't even tell they're vegan! I had always gone to the center city location but rarely go there now since this Elixr is much closer to me and a better place to get work done. 10/10 recommend coming here for incredible coffee and baked goods! Baristas are all super friendly and cool people. They will consistently give you great latte art as well. read more

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!

I just got an iced tea which is pretty hard to mess up! Not pictured but really enjoyed their cinnamon roll! Their bagels were just okay for me... with bagel places so close by... id probably only get another bagel here for convenience.

Stopped by soon after opening this morning for a morning meetup with some friends. Ample seating…read moreearly on and given the morning cold! Ambience was nice, and not too much noise or background disturbances. There's generally a lot of seating here, with ample outlets. I've visited previous times where there hasn't been a lot of free space because this is a student hotspot for nearby Drexel and UPenn. But that's honestly no fault to the cafe itself-- they are pretty much maxing out space without beginning to feel too cluttered and sacrificing the "vibe". Ordered a drip and a English muffin breakfast sandwich. One of my friends also completed the "Google review for a cookie" deal, and we enjoyed a piping hot freshly baked cookie! Overall I'd definitely consider this a place to meet up, or lock in while studying. Just make sure to consider the time of day and time of year academically, as this is a popular student spot.

Very inconsistent service. On three different occasions I ordered Nitro Cold Brew only to be told…read morethey don't have it although its on the menu. Today I ordered a regular coldbrew with cold foam, paid, only to be told by the barrisra he can't put cold foam in my coffee. So I changed to a iced latte that was watery bc the never called my name. I decided to ck cups when I realized. I was standing by the counter. Breakfast sandwiche was ok. For the price, not to mention passing by four coffee shops to get Madis, service should be exceptional. Disappointed! Spending my money elsewhere.

I was introduced to Haraz at a Yelp elite event I was attending a few weeks ago and I knew I wanted…read moreto make my way there to check their location out. We ordered our drinks on the walk there and we hoped they would be ready when we arrived. When we walked in the time changed to add about 15 min on which was a bit annoying however we were not in a rush so we calmly waited. I got the hot matcha latte and it was really good. I like only a drop of sweetener bc I like to taste the matcha. I like it served temperature hot (not warm)- and this drink arrived exactly the way I like it. Would def come back for another one. My bf got some kind of coffee w cardamom in it (sorry I forget which kind - I'm not a coffee drinker and they all sound the same to me ha). He really enjoyed his drink. He had a BOGO coupon so we each actually got 2 drinks. I planned to take my second one home but the drink was so good I drank both of them ha. Will def be back again.

So Yelp suggested Haraz Coffee House a few weeks ago and it's been on my radar ever since.... What…read moreI appreciated about Haraz on the day I visited was the late hours they kept, I visited on a Saturday night and it was buzzing. It's the fanciest looking coffee house I ever visited, there's outside seating which is nice and the inside is lit up with warm yellow lighting throughout, very spacious with tables and wicker like chairs. It seems like a great spot to meet up with a friend or to visit, find a corner read or work. It looks like a family establishment, as I noticed there were children behind the register, a young man, maybe 10 years old took my order and did a great job doing so! Bravo! I purchased a vanilla hot matcha latte and a pistachio milk cake, the total was about $21!!! This price was expensive, visiting establishment like this often is not feasible to my budget but there's so much more I need to try so I'll be back. The matcha was amazing, actually the most authentic I've tried!!! And the pistachio milk cake was delicious, being a person who literally puts milk on cake lol, this was amazing!!! It wasn't too sweet and the pistachio gave balance! The slice is enough to share or split for 2 servings, which is what I did. Bottom line, I'll be back! I'd love to try their coffee and another pastry and possibly sit outside on a nice day. Please visit and enjoy!!!
