Try the strawberry matcha oat latte. It was life-changing (in my opinion) The barista was fast and it took 5-10 minutes to come out. We took it to go since the place was packed. Would come again!! read more

Stopped by to do a bit of work in between errands in Rittenhouse this morning. Got a hot hojicha latte and sat down in the nearby seats. Vibe: this place is consistently packed. 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! read more

Strawberry (G)oat latte *drool* When on a Sunday at 9 and didn't wait at all. Tried their seasonal latte and it was so yummy. Everyone was friendly and my order came out in less than 5min. Can't wait to come back read more

There are quite a few coffee shops in Center City, but Elixr's Black Salt Caramel Lattehot or icedis my current obsession. I love the salty/sweet combo, and they've really nailed it with this drink. Just a heads-up: if you get it hot, give it a stir since most of the flavor settles at the bottom. I've also tried the Strawberry Matcha, which has a nice balance between the sweetness of the strawberry and the earthiness of the matcha. The coffee shop has a beautiful aesthetic and is usually pretty full. They've got great baked goods, and the prices are reasonable for specialty drinks. There's space to work if you need it, but the lighting can be a little moody--maybe not ideal if you're on video calls. read more

The strawberry matcha is worth the hype trust me. The matchs is well blended, and doesn't taste like grass. The strawberry part reminds me of strawberry milk- smooth and sweet. Together, smooth, sweet drink that's refreshing. Service: I came in at 12 pm on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. The line wasn't too long and it was moving fast. The barista was pleasant. Shop: pretty big inside, the outside looks small. There's tons of seating area, and the noise inside wasn't bad. I would definitely come back here to study and relax. read more

Loved this place. The cafe had a great vibe, the baristas were kind and it wasn't too terribly loud. I ended up getting the Caramel Black Salt latte because it had great reviews and I was not disappointed. It was awesome, and so was the almond croissant. Loved this place, will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

The iced latte was good! Good espresso, but didn't like the sticky after taste. My friend got an iced lavender latte, however, and I liked that one a lot better -- added a bit of sweetness to it, but not too sweet! Another friend got an iced strawberry matcha, and it was ok -- the strawberry was too pink. Wish they used real strawberries. Overall, vibe was good -- good to do work or socialize with friends... plenty of seating. read more

This coffee shop is fortunately open later on weekends than most others in Center City, which is how I ended up here! It offers comfortable table, counter, and couch-style seating, along with a variety of coffee drinks and a limited selection of baked goods. My double-shot latte was very good. I saw several busy waves of customers come through during my hour or so there. read more

Elixr how I love you! You'll see tons of reviews about the Black Sea salt Caramel latte - which means you must try it. It's that good. Hot or iced, both are fantastic. The salt really highlights the caramel flavor. The space inside is massive with plenty of seating. A great spot to WFH. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. They have a fairly decent points system that is connected to CashApp. Online ordering system is easy to use and always ready just a few minutes later. While it's pricey, (7 dollar lattes) it's not more expensive than any other spot in the city. This is a weekly spot for me and I'll always recommend to friends! read more

The inside was a fun, eclectic vibe but there was not a seat to be found anywhere. It's super popular on a Sunday. The service was very efficient. They had lots of donuts to choose from and some bakery but nothing dairy free, gluten free, or vegan. The matcha was good. read more

This is a great spot to grab a good cup of coffee. However, if you're looking for a place to sit down and read, enjoy conversation, or just relax, you'll need to be patient, as it's a busy place with limited seating inside. The interior is homey, and whether you find a seat or not, you'll enjoy Elixr. read more

Elixir was a hidden-gem in the Rittenhouse area with a very welcoming vibe and kind staff. I found this on my way from my hotel to grab coffee and they had local roasters and amazing coffee. I got a large sea salt caramel latte that was a better price than most coffee shops in the area. I would recommend it and it's a must for your next coffee spot or area meetings. read more

My goto coffee shop is starbucks but as of writing this review there are no starbucks in phl. Due to this, I was forced to go to a coffee place i had no knowledge of. This place didn't look great at first glance bit I was catching an early flight and needed my coffee. The coffee here was excellent. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

Beautiful ambient space with lots of seating and nice place to do work in.

highlyyy recommend getting the black caramel salt latte, it's one of the best specialty lattes i've had. i also got to try the strawberry matcha, which is okay - it was good, but it doesn't use real strawberry puree & instead uses some strawberry milk - at least from what I could tell. the service on my first visit was good, the baristas were friendly. however, my second visit was not as pleasant. the cashier and barista were chatting even while i was ordering. it took longer than it should have to receive drinks because of this as well, barista was distracted by coworkers. hope that isn't the case the majority of the time though, since this shop was quite good! read more

Hidden in an alley way off of a busy section of shopping on Walnut street but well worth the find! Great beans for some hot pipping coffee & a yummy chai latte was had by my family.

One word: WOW. I wish I had this coffee shop in my city. I came here for a cup of coffee the morning after a work event. It was super close to my hotel in a very walkable part of town. I came on a Tuesday morning around 10am. And while it wasn't overly packed, the place was full with at least a few people in line constantly. The barista quickly took my order and I was able to find a table. There are a good amount of indoor tables to sit at and a couple outside. I ordered a chocolate croissant and the highly rated caramel black salt latte. While I wasn't a fan of the croissant, this was a ten star cup of coffee for me. The sweet and savory flavors mixed so well together I found myself wishing I could create something as good as this at home. I was inspired to buy some coffee beans. I'm super excited to have a piece of Elixir back in Richmond with me. When you buy a bag of beans, you get a free drink. I can't wait to come back on my next trip to Philly. read more

I am once again, writing a Yelp review of my strawberry matcha finds through the cities I explore, haha. I'm a big strawberry matcha snob and I can safely say that Elixir's strawberry matcha is on my list now! I could tell the matcha was great quality. They use more of a strawberry oatmilke than strawberry puree, but I loved the flavor it added. It's also colored with beet which gives it a very cute appearance. It was absolutely delicious and the staff made it for me so fast. I really appreciated it and can't wait to come back for more when I'm back in the area! read more

I went in with the plan to order a latte and betrayed my plans. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha to try something different than I usually get. I just needed a caffeine boost before a dinner nearby. I have never had this kind of drink before but I have learned - TIP: MIX THE DRINK BEFORE YOU SIP! I made the seemingly newbie mistake of sipping all the strawberry first and was left with concentrated bitter matcha...now that's good matcha but still! I could have had a better experience had I mixed it well at first. The ambiance inside the cafe is calm and perfect for reading or working. read more

I've heard many good reviews about their strawberry lattes so I had to come try. I will like to say, I'm a matcha enjoyer and I am on the hunt for the best matcha latte in Philly. I will say I like my matcha STRONG and while elixrs strawberry milk was absolutely delicious I think I'll stick to their coffees from now on. This matcha just wasnt strong enough for me but I was still able to enjoy my drink. There's plenty of seating inside and free WiFi and a restroom. The service is also very kind and very quick for an early weekday morning when I came. read more

Was visiting from out of town(convention center event) and needed an afternoon pick me up. Asked my friend Yelp for a cafe in the area and went to Elixr on 1600 Market(?)--they are closed on weekends. Was directed to this location... got a little lost (using Google Maps, and my location wasn't updating for some reason). Finally landed in the right place (going down an alleyway/small street that didn't look like I was going the right way (skepticism was heightened due to detours I had already taken..... and tbh, I can't recall the last time I was lost.) Anyhow, walked in and it was cozy, with a a good number of people there, especially given how quiet the street was. Everyone (customers and staff) seemed comfortable, relaxed, casual, and non-judgemental. I ordered the strawberry oat matcha latte hot... I was fortunate one of the few seats and a table opened up right as I got my order so I could enjoy looking at the foam art as I sipped for a bit, and then got a lid so I could be on my way. [... headed back to hotel, turned the corner and Shmear was right there!) read more

I was visiting from out of town and wanted to restock on coffee beans and am so so glad I decided to visit Elixir! Firstly, the decor of the store was so warm and cosy - perfect for escape from the cold weather outside. The staff were incredibly friendly and they even offer any drink of your choice when you purchase beans (to be redeemed instantly or as a voucher for a future visit)! Wow how generous - the black salted caramel latte was so delicious and beats any drip coffee that's offered with bean purchases in NYC. I can't wait to come back. read more

Hipster coffee joint, friendly staff and lots of unique options. Came here for a coffee and to explore a bit. Was easy enough to find though I did have to check the map a few times. Server was friendly and answered all my questions. Got a Black Sea salt caramel latte and a cold brew for later Coffee came out quickly, and it was good! Flavor was pronounced and not bitter. The Black Sea salt didn't really add anything beyond a visual difference, but that little bit of salt really helped mellow and meld all the flavors together. The caramel was there but not overwhelming, the milk was light and frothy, and the coffee was mellow and earthy which matched the milk and the sweet. The cold brew was drank later. That was a well done cold brew. Slightly fruity but not overly tart. The drink was watered down cause of the ice, but it was still pretty decent overall. It's pretty good, all things considered. It's good coffee and it's done well. I like their spin on things, but it's not something I would drive out for. It's good for the area, and worth a try read more

We spent good time at Elixr Coffee Roasters! There is super cool atmosphere and industrial and rustic design it is a good place to relax or work.

So I have my Elixr order down pat: Strawberry oat matcha or latte- it depends on how much caffeine I've already had. If you're visiting, you have to try it. If I'm being really edgy, I get a chocolate croissant. This location is fairly sized and offers seating as well as restroom for customers. I liked that they had a bar, because I prefer standing to work occasionally. Also the playlist during my most recent visit was good!! read more

Good drinks and a cute atmosphere! This location is almost always packed so don't count on being able to find a seat, but if you get lucky it's the perfect space to get some work done or catch up with friends. Elixr was a little hard to find (it's down a weird alley) but is worth the hunt. They change their special drinks seasonally, but consistently have standard coffee options, multiple kinds of tea, chai lattes, matcha lattes, and a strawberry matcha latte that is often raved about. I had the regular matcha latte and I liked that it came unsweetened. read more
