I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why. 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! read more

While in town,I wanted to start the day with a coffee. Didn't feel like hotel instant coffee. This was one of the closest shops. Wasn't to crowded for a Tuesday morning. Was able to walk up and order. I got the house special,the latte with black sea salt. It's fairly large for a coffee shop. The morning crowd had filled up most of the tables. My coffee tasted slightly sweet and slightly salty. After a couple of sips, I think I got most of the salt. I probably should have stirred it more. Still a really good latte read more

Industrial-esque decor, a little tucked away in an alley and I think it fits the vibe of the surrounding area! People come here to work a lot it seems. 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! read more

Came here today for a few hours to do some work and study. It was perfect - I was easily able to find a seat with an outlet and it wasn't a disruptive environment. I tried their strawberry latte to help keep me awake and it was so good. It tasted like strawberry milk. It's clean and quite spacious inside. There's not any outdoor seating. read more

I know Philly has an abundance of amazing coffee shops, and you could try a new one every day and still never hit them all. However... Elixr is a "must-have" any time I'm in the city. The caramel black salt latte is truly to die for, and I just HAVE to have it any time I'm nearby. read more

The service team are very accommodating and friendly . They however, need more training. 3 drink orders each with a different error: a latte came as coffee w cream; hot matcha came iced, 2nd 16 oz matcha came as a 12 oz. Owners seem a bit too hands-off with training and mgmt, as well as the dining area being less than excellent or comfortable, with a bit of deferred maintenance read more

Best coffee I've ever had. Was in town for the weekend and went here twice in one day. I got the black salt coffee. I think that was the name. But it was delicious and a different flavor profile. The baristas were super friendly. The coffee shop itself had a lot of seating if you wanted to stay there and work or just enjoy your morning coffee. Would definitely check it out!! It's a little hard to find. It's off a side street so just use the GPS and it will take you right there. read more

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

I stopped by Elixr for my coffee fix. The room is somewhat chilled and allows visitors to have a conversation, or work with minimal disruption. The short line was extremely fast and wait for my beverage was very slow. Staff were welcoming and caring. read more

Ordered the caramel black salt latte, hot. One of the better coffees I've had for sure. The almond croissant was just an almond croissant IYKYK. The place was super cute though and pretty busy so i immediately know it was going to be worth the hype. read more

Everyone was so kind and my order was completed quickly, also the coffee was really good!

I have been coming here for over ten years. I also enjoy their other locations. I truly love this cafe above all others and appreciate that they have consistently only improved. Best espresso in the area. Staff is excellent and consistent service. I also enjoy seeing the many artworks they've displayed over the years. A cozy and cool place to be. (Sorry Reanimator, you're a close 2nd!) read more

I went in .... Slightly hung over, and the barista with the Latino accent was so funny and helpful. Honestly being a total vibe and make the experience amazing. He advised me on the best drink, and I am not disappointed at all. The strawberry oat milk matcha is not too sweet and super flavorful. I also got an americano (because hungover) I wish I was local as I would make this my regular place read more

strawberry oat matcha latte was fine. not a great selection of pastries but maybe they weren't trying to go for that

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

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

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

It's on a side street, so it would be easy to miss, but it's absolutely worth the effort to seek out. I had a pour-over, and I haven't had this well-balanced of a cup of Java in a long, long time. They're very serious about their coffee here, both in quality and attitude. It's a chill, quiet place, which I appreciate. Recommended. 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

I love this place! They have a great variety of speciality coffee drinks, my favorite being the black salt caramel latte, but they also have a great selection on whole coffee beans. I originally came across this place while looking for some local coffee beans and both of the ones I've bought from them have been amazing. It's a great little place with a nice ambience and delicious coffee. I stop by whenever I can. 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

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

Loved this place. The cafe had a great vibe, the baristas were kind and it wasn't too terribly loud.
