Went for a quick bite and coffee after an overnight stay in Philly Never been to this area but it's cute and seems to have great location Front of the store is very homey and welcoming. Crepes, coffee, tea and pastries. Homemade flavors and they sell beans here. Staff was very nice and hard working The crepe was very filling and had plenty of customization options. Big respect for the additional curry powder, everything seasoning, garlic powder, etc. options Their pastries looked robust and delicious. Very nice selection and options. Saw a lot of original recipes I got a dirty chai with cardamom added. Love cardamom Brother got a wellness elixir which I really appreciated then having. Good mix of ingredients imo Indoor and patio seating. I'm glad we found this in the spurt of the moment read more

This was the first coffee shop I tried when I moved to Philly, and let me tell you...it did not disappoint. The staff is beyond helpful, friendly, efficient, and kind. The crepes are DELICIOUS. The coffee is tasty, flavorful, and provides the energy boost one needs to get through the day. However, the outdoor tables in the quaintest little town may be my my favorite part. I love people/dog-watching at the outside tables, while sipping on a Cardamom-Vanilla Latte on a nice Saturday afternoon. So much to love about this spot. I will be returning many times read more

Absolutely delicious, fresh bakery items! Unique pastries (broccoli cheddar brioche; almond cream brownie)- quite a treat! Not insanely sweet like most bakeries. Very crowded, small place. read more

I was on the hunt for a café to work from for a little while, and came across High Point. It's a quaint neighborhood café that specializing crepes. They also have a variety of pastries and plenty of drinks to choose from. Like most cafes, you order at the counter. The servers were pleasant, and my order came out pretty quickly. I got the crepe special, which had egg, roasted potato, scallions cheddar cheese. It was quite enjoyable. I also had the wellness elixir, that had honey, lemon, ginger, and cayenne. So. Good! The next time I'm in Germantown, I'll definitely have to grab another one! read more

I'm SHOCKED I've never reviewed high point. This is our neighborhood go to when we're on family walks and our big kid needs a croissant or mommy and daddy need a coffee. It's so quaint and always smells amazing. They do an incredible job with the limited space that they have and the crepes are to die for read more

This place has great hippie vibes. We started with dirty chai that was light on the sweetness which is actually how I like it. Service was friendly and brought out our crepe shortly after. We got the apple cheddar crepe and they were happy to add spinach for us. Delicious! Seems like this place can get pretty busy on a nice Saturday but they have indoor and outdoor seating and they're quick! read more

Good drinks and solid pastries. I had the vanilla chi and brownie. Perfect lil spot with outside sitting also

The crepes are great, and there are plenty of good vegetarian savory options, especially looking at the build your own option. The side salad is a highlight! We also tried the French toast crepe, which has an egg incorporated into the batter. Interesting. The espresso is good but the cappuccino is weird; they don't pour the milk through the crema at all, so it's mostly foam on top of a single shot. It can be folded through but I think next time I'd just get an espresso here. I really like that they have reusable cutlery and crockery, and service is brisk even when they're crowded. They also have a bunch of pastries if you're looking to grab and go. No parking lot but free street parking up to two hours. Friendly staff. read more

A few friends and I decided to check this place out for a quick bite. It was a little small and cramped inside, but the vibe was still great. The workers were very kind and overall we had a good experience! The crepes were delicious and lived up to my expectations. I ordered the chai and sadly it tasted so watery--like drinking straight up hot water with spice. I was so disappointed, but chai is always hit or miss at cafes‍ read more

They have very delicious pastries, cakes and crepes and coffee and a convenient app to make payment quick and easy. My only criticism was a long wait for my crepe ( but it was a busy Sunday). Also the server presented me with my spinach, onion and cheese crepe saying I added extra cheese. I didn't ask for extra cheese and would have preferred less. Please don't assume, thanks read more

Once I've worked somewhere, I typically never want to go after leaving. It kinda ruins the environment for personal time, because I feel like I'm on the clock OR I learned something that made me uncomfortable dining there. This is a rare exception because the product and environment are just so dang good. (Both locations) It feels like what I imagined neighborhoods should embody when I was a kid. A feeling of connection. Reliable comfort. They clearly appreciate and work to be connected with and in support of their community. They make their syrups in-house and their pastries are fresh. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I go there. (Which I have to limit because I want to buy out the pastry case every time.) The rotation of local artists on the walls! I could go on and on. Love this place. read more

As of last week 4/1/22, they are open for inside orders and seating! Still have the same great coffee and pastries as always. read more

I love this place so much! The coffee and other drinks are reliably wonderful -- the lattes with homemade syrups are delicious. The crepes and pastries are equally fantastic, particularly the specials. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back -- it's a very comfortable place to hang out with a book, the art on the walls is always interesting, and the baristas are a delight. read more

High Point Cafe serves great coffee in the Mt. Airy neighborhood, however I felt uncomfortable dining here. I love their macchiato! Their espresso is never too bitter! It's smooth and easy to drink and the frothy milk make it more enjoyable! Their crepes here are solid too! We ordered a Ham, Cheese, & Caramelized onion crepe and it was enough for two people! Every time I've gotten coffee here, I always received unwanted stares from the staff as if I was out of place. The environment doesn't seem to welcome people who aren't locals and that was discouraging. read more

High Point Cafe - Ham, Cheddar, Caramelized Onion Crepe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Wonderful cafe with great fresh baked good that switch up each day. The staff is very welcoming and we will definitely be back.

Just waited for five minutes at the front register only to be told that the line started at the other end. OK cool no problem. Could've told me that when you ignored me for five minutes but that's besides the point. At that point, the barista, then serves her two friends/customers that walked in BLATANTLY 5 minutes after me. Legit ignoring me right to my face. To be honest, this was one of the most ignorant and disrespectful customer service experiences I've ever had. F this place I'll never come back and make sure to tell my neighbors how High Point values their customers. read more

Shoutout to the small but fierce staple of Mt Airy Village! Along with the co-op, High Point is a critical part of the local scene. I love going there to treat myself to something tasty, or to indulge the kids. I love that there always seems to be a crew of neighbors around, including a standard crowd of Older Men Discussing Politics. I love that if you go there on a school morning, the staff will gently shoo out kids if it's too close to the start of the school day. Before COVID hit, my wife and I fantasized about how High Point needed to buy out the building next to it so it could expand -- the only negative is that the space is so tiny! In the times of COVID, High Point has been a wonderful way to continue to treat ourselves -- ordering online or over the phone to do pickups of the treats I can't make at home and the plain black coffee that tastes better simply by virtue of being brewed by someone else. Thanks for everything, High Point. Can't wait to see you in person again. read more

Four stars as about a year ago -- 2021 -- I had a guacamole crepe I didn't care for.(I can't remember what it was called & I don't know if they offer it anymore as I can't find it on their online menu.) No matter I suppose because I was disappointed enough with that I didn't want to ever return as I figured I'd just be disappointed with this place again. Changed my mind, obviously, as last month (which was April 2022) I wanted to do some grocery shopping at Weavers Way which is across the street from High Point Cafe. I was hungry enoughfrom wherever I'd been I decided to give them another try. So glad I did as the things I ordered: dirty chai and 3 garlic biscuits ( I took one home) which I had toasted with some butter were superb, very tasty. I loved the buisuits' crispy texture, also. I should note that said the chai wasn't sweet enough for me so I needed to add more sugar to it to make it right for me. (I like a lot of sugar in my coffee & chais. I know that's not a good thing but since I'm NOT overweight at 5'7 1/2" 121 lbs I make an exception when it comes to that.) Another thing I was gailytaken aback with my biscuits WEREN'T overly buttered. The best thing about that I didn't have to say anything to the counter help regarding that. (On the latter point that's something I've been noting over the years: too many American diners, restaurants, cafes, etc are serving larger and and larger "individual serving sizes" (so-called). That needs to STOP sooner than later.Please. read more

High Point Cafe - I had the dirty chai. It was great -- pricey though @$5.45. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is a great coffee shop in the Mt. Airy neighborhood. It is filled with regulars and they have incredible pastries and coffee. I got their cappuccino, which was expertly crafted. Their pastries are also equally delicious. It's a great place to hang out and spend time with friends. they don't have wifi so if you are coming to work, be prepared to hotspot in with your phone. This feels like a community staple and everyone who comes here really loves the people. Happy to check this off my list! read more

Employees were super friendly and helpful in making good choices. Home made lavender syrup was on point! Will definitely be back, especially for the location and surrounding architecture. read more

High point is a community staple. The verde bean crepe should be a year round menu item!! We want them forever! And the soups!! Soup forever!! Workers here are always kind and caring, food and coffee is always great. The pastries changed in the last year (new provider I'm assuming) and that's a bummer but they are still good (rip galettes). Our top recommendation for newbies to the area or visitors looking for a local spot. Thankful for high point! read more

Small, good coffee and great pastries. I have nothing bad to say EXCEPT they don't offer WiFi read more

This little spot is a cute/quaint place to get some quick breakfast food or a bite to eat. Our only problem was, the food was really mediocre. It is a cool concept, because they have more of a crepery focus, but the menu felt limiting and if I had to choose to get breakfast somewhere, there are so many spots with similar offerings right on the same street, it would be hard to go back here again. read more

Pretty amazing. Best Vanilla iced latte ice had in awhile. They sell the Odwalla line of organic juices which are good. Food is pretty tasty as well. Bathroom was a bit dark, would have liked it better lit. Other than that, was pretty nice spot. read more

High Point Cafe - Interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is a great little café! I came here with 2 friends around 9:30 on a Saturday morning before a hike at Wissahickon. This place gets very busy and there are not many tables, so I am glad we got there on the (somewhat) earlier side. We were lucky to snag a table! I ordered a café mocha and it was delicious! They also have non-dairy items for my friends who prefer those options! The coffee here was great! For my breakfast, I did the "build your own" crepe, and even though I was tempted by the sweet options, I went the savory route. I am so glad I did, it was absolutely fantastic! I also ordered with my eyes and got the mini apple pie to share with my friends at the table. Probably one of the best apple pies I have ever eaten! My friend got the pumpkin bar with brown butter icing, and even though Pumpkin isn't my favorite, this was a fantastic dessert. The pastry window here is very dangerous! I am glad I had bought the dessert to share, because the crepe was huge, but it was so worth tasting everything! The staff is extremely friendly, and the patrons (many locals, families, etc.) seem very friendly as well. My only negative is the tight seating area. As I write this review, I am salivating thinking about the next time I can come here! read more

A quaint coffee shop with friendly staff, DELICIOUS crepes, and, most importantly, great coffee. I highly recommend the Turkey, Spinach, and Cheddar crepe with the side of greens. Though if you're not a fan of kids, avoid this place at least from 10-11 on a weekday (in my case, Thursday), apparently. In the 30ish minutes I've been here, at least four separate groups of...babysitters? Daycare employees? with at least five 2-5 year olds each have come through to eat and run amuck. I get it and am not disparaging it (daycare workers and kids gotta eat, too) but just a warning to others who aren't so patient or tolerant of that. Lastly, the people watching is a treat here. I watched a twentysomething woman just walk in, stand in the middle of the "foyer" facing the door and proceed to undo and retie her...Baby Bjorn or body wrap purse thing (?) for five minutes and then just walk right back out. No baby in sight. FASCINATING. read more

Slightly hectic but only because there were so many people there. There were only so many people there because the barista was so friendly and welcoming and the coffee is incredible. read more

Love it here, great coffee and amazing pastries, and a really wonderful environment.

An overrated hole in the wall cafe. Pastries are dry and overpriced. The workers are rude and pretentious and will charge you for something they didn't give you. read more

Nice guy that takes your food order. Beverage lady a tad snippy...like dont you know I only take beverage orders. I ordered two crepes: one savory, spinach with caramelized onions...no cheese...yummy! Sweet: lemon zest with powdered sugar...ok. It needed more lemon zest. The man who came to bring my crepes was super friendly! My herbal tea: blueberry hibiscus was delightful. It was a Sunday so it was crowded. Cool place. read more

Although I've been to other High Point locations, their Mount Airy location far surpasses the rest. The cozy atmosphere on Carpenter and Greene really adds to this cafe's charm. I recently saw a sign for maple syrup lattes near the register and have since ordered one every Friday afternoon. The maple makes the latte perfectly sweet and rich. Another favorite of mine is their elixir: warm water or tea with honey and cayenne pepper. Spicy and comforting at the same time! Although the bill starts to add up after even just a small drink or two, it's worth coming here to treat yourself. read more

I love this cafe! Friendly, attentive service each time and their social distancing guidelines are in place. I went to visit the shop today but during my last visit, I arrived a few minutes before they were closing. The gentleman at the front window kindly informed me they were about to close but still welcomed me to place an order! I just wanted a cup of coffee but he was willing to whip up a specialty beverage for me, if need be. I love the drip coffee available and their pastries are delicious! Today I had the cranberry orange cream turnover! Can't wait to visit again and try other pastries on the menu! read more

I came in this little cafe as I was in the area apartment searching. The location was nice and quaint, very quiet street with small mom and pop shops all around and plenty of street parking. I did see a school across the street so I'm not sure if it is louder during release time but around 3pm when I went it was quiet. There was some outdoor seating nothing extravagant just a bench and a couple of tables. I ordered my turnover and plugged in my laptop to do my work then here's where I was completely shocked THEY HAVE NO WIFI. After confirming there was no WiFi I sat baffled how a cafe could have no WiFi not even paid WiFi. Then I looked at everyone who was on computers and a woman confessed she was using a hotspot. I just couldn't believe it. It's 2019 I feel like WiFi of some sort should be standard in a cafe. I'm sorry to the person reading this who is thinking "what a millennial" but tech runs the world and I was just really caught off guard. I'll get over it but I won't go back. read more

High Point Cafe - Pear Almond Cream Turnover - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

High points (HA!) for being on the cutest little block - right near my favorite co-op and favorite book store. But aside from location, the crepe and coffee that I (regularly) get at the High Point Cafe is always the perfect thing that I'm in the mood for and so tasty. This is a pretty tiny spot, and I would recommend against going when school is letting out (its right across from some school, and apparently kids like coffee and crepes... who knew?). The prices are so so reasonable and the guys behind the counter are always cool and chatty. I'm kind of salivating just thinking about the crepes - sweet and savory combinations like caramelized apple and cheddar, or spinach, onion and chevre. And I've been told to try their sticky buns...apparently, they are awesome! read more

I stopped in High Point to check it out last night after work as I explored Mt. Airy, not intending to buy anything. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but ultimately I gave in to a fresh blueberry cupcake. Cupcake, you say, not a blueberry muffin? That's right! A delicate, cakey cupcake chock full of fresh blueberries, endowing the treat with an exquisite flavor I have never encountered in any of its muffin cousins. It was topped with a rich, sweet blueberry frosting, making it quite a decadent way to spoil my dinner. The gal behind the counter was charming and helpful, and gave the cupcake such a great pitch that I couldn't resist. Downside: $3.25 seems like a lot for a cupcake, but at least it was a darn good one. I definitely plan on returning to sample the coffee, crepes, and other pastry options. read more

What can I say? Every time I venture in, it becomes the high point of my day and eventually my week. These are the neighbors you may or may not know who are ALWAYS incredibly cheerful, gracious and kind. Whose swift 'n steady hands serve you up somethin' special and delectable, and always with a smile. Others have noted it and they're dead on: insanely friendly staff. Everything is delicious. My au lait is always perfection. Rich, flavorful coffee engulfed by sumptuous, creamy foam. It ain't often folks get romantically entranced by foam, but just you taste and tell me your tongue hasn't met a pillow of love ... Okay. A bit much maybe so I'll talk about the pastries. Choose any one. Biscuit. Scone. Egg popper. Even the gluten free treats are tasty. (Yeah I said it. Y'all know you see gluten and brace your tastebuds for the mealy, cardboardia. But not here you won't!). I'm still striving to sit myself down for crepes, about which I've repeatedly been told. Guess what they are. Delicious. Hope to bump into you there soon! read more

I have been here twice and since I haven't had the food, I probably shouldn't be reviewing. But here's what I did get out of the place: a great sense of community. Both times I visited I was in the neighborhood visiting Weaver's Way, a co-op across the street, and I only stopped at High Point to grab a coffee. Both times the coffees were excellent. The "small" size is a bit on the "small" side, so watch out! But the place allows you a mug if you're sticking around to drink your beverage. The walls are all plastered with local artists' work, which is great. Reminds me of Portland, Maine in a way. And there are a ton of community postings--flyers, advertisements--as well, so if you're looking for an apartment, event, or club in the area, this is the place to find it. I think I even saw an advertisement for a Singles Scrabble Club somewhere in there. Last but not least: crowd. High Point is usually jam-packed, so have fun trying to find a seat, at least in the late morning or around noon. I suspect that it stays packed most of the day. The types of people are very diverse. You've got sitters and mothers (sorry to be stereotypical, but it's based on empirical evidence!) watching their kids, you've got small groups of two or three working on business, you'll see young writer and artist-types scribbling away in their notebooks. Older couples meeting up. Young professionals stopping in for a bite to eat. The food at the place did look pretty good, actually. Regardless of your reason, I'd give the place a shot if I were you. read more

This place reeks of hipsters and patchouli. There are a lot of women who probably don't vaccinate their kids or shave their legs and haven't washed their crocs in weeks. It's a bit cramped and the street parking is weird af. It's a very low key and friendly neighborhood. The coffee however is excellent, the service is great and the prices are decent. I am too lazy to write any more. read more
