Gabriella L.

Just stumbled upon this place while out in Queen Village today. Excellent, excellent food. So simple, but very flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The guy behind the counter was super nice and brought us our food once it was warm, instead of just calling out the name on the order. Great vibe here, plenty of room to do some work. They also play great music. Highly recommend!

I waltzed in here hungover af after a night out on Sansom St. It was the worst kind of hangover though. One of the sneak hangovers. The type of ones where you wake up and are like "damn I'm not even hung...I might just be like that..." then when you're walking down the stairs to go get a coffee you're like wow that hangover that heard me talkin all that mess. One of those hangovers where it so cunningly waits until you are planning your whole day out in your head of all the things you are going to get done, only to wait until both feet touch the earth to say "you sure about that buddy?" It's like the Sly Cooper of hangovers. Only real ones, my fellow PS2 players, will get that reference. All this to say, that hangover SNUCK me on the way to Java Company. I was just going to get a coffee, but knew I needed some sort of bread to help me fend off the sneak. We arrived and saw ample outdoor seating with beautiful, rustic chairs and tables. The quality of chairs and tables really can make or break a coffee shop. This place is what you think of when you think "cute coffee shop," I loved it. Upon approaching the order stand, I was debating what to get to fill up my tummy. My Lil Cuzzo suggested I get the Labneh as "it's really good." "The Lab-wha?" the Croatian Orangutan responded. She began to explain that it was some kind of yogurt spread on bread with cucumbers on top, and then saw my look of dire confusion and just pointed to it behind the little glass. "That looks and sounds horrendous right now," I said. I meant that from my soul too it really did. I ended up getting an americano with oat milk and a plain multigrain bagel, Little Cuzzo ended up getting a dirty chai latte and the Labneh ahahahahahahaha. We sat in the corner and after some time, the waitress came with our items and shook my americano, as it looked black as TON 618, the most massive blackhole in the universe, and said "There is oat milk in there it just doesn't look like it." What am I supposed to say to that ahaha. There is still some debate to this day among Philadelphians on whether or not there was any oat milk in that americano. It is a chicken or egg scenario at this point. I tried Lil Cuzzo's Labneh, because I'll try anything once, and it was GAS. I had to eat every last word. I should have got the Labneh smh. I also tried her dirty chai latte and that was hittin too! I was sitting there with my arms crossed, staring at my plain bagel and americano with alleged oat milk and was like damn, I should have just got her order. Could never tell her that though you feel me? Lil Cuzzo's ego be crazy already!! I loved this place. GET THE LABNEH! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Cozy cafe with a diverse menu of pastries, sandwiches, soups, bagels, much more! The staff were very warm and welcoming and it made us feel at home. I look forward to going to PJC in the future!

Cafe has seriously gone downhill...very disappointing. None of their original staff is there anymore due to poor management and ownership, such a shame. Prices continue to go up and EVERYTHING is an up charge.

coffee

This is a cute coffee shop to work at. They have good coffee, plenty of small 1-2 person tables, lots of natural lighting, and a good selection of pastries. I didn't give five stars just because there are little things that need to be addressed: the tables could be wiped off more frequently by staff and the bathroom needs a paper towel holder and could just be a little nicer looking in general lol (I just feel like the coffee shop is cute so the bathroom should match). Their music selection is fine. I'm not sure what to call the genre, but it's cool. Def not my preferred R&B or Neo-soul vibe. But that's cool.

Cappuccino and book
Elisa L.

Allura makes the best cappuccino I've ever had in the whole country! I'm dead serious about it and she's very very nice. They also offer delicious homemade zucchini bread - which is my favorite. I love to stop by and sit for 30 minutes or so and read my book while I savor my cappuccino. I highly recommend this place!

Iced latte with hazelnut and oat milk

One of my favourite cafe's in Philly! The latte's are done right, the tarts are SO GOOD, the customer service is amazing, and the ownership runs the cafe very well.

Large chai

This is a great little nook in the Queen Village neighborhood. There aren't a lot of coffee shops in this area, so this is a great place to go to meet up with a friend, get some work done or read a book. The vibe and decor has a European feel to it in part because there are lots of small round tables scattered about inside and outside - much like you'd find in Paris. The staff is friendly and orders always come out quickly. I love coming to this place whenever I get the chance.

This is a total local oasis in super cute old Swedish neighborhood. I felt like I was at a chill rustic but clean-style European cafe. We got iced americanos and would've tried the food (labneh, tuna salad in individual real Tupperware (!), healthy-looking wraps or mini baguette sandwiches) but we already had a huge meal. Service was nice. Music was audible but chill and not stressful. Has nice seating inside and outside.

Outdoor tables and seating in the morning
Melody W.

It's cute! Outdoor seating area as per covid. Order through the window. The menu is limited, but the ingredients taste fresh.

A rainy day seat and a hot chai tea latte. Ahhh...

Fantastic coffee, but took FOREVER just to stop in and grab 2 coffees. Hipsters will enjoy. I think I'll go to wawa next time.

Coffee and food were acceptable. Barista was not very kind! Actually, the eggle was borderline unacceptable.

It's been a week, so this little pocket of joy was especially welcome. Grateful for delicious food (highly recommend the chef's snack and burger) and great cocktails.

The venue is very nice - it's in the Touraine, the historic (1917) apartment building. I was immediately seated, and waited on by a very friendly and gracious server. Enswell was started by the founders of Rival Brothers Coffee - there's a coffee bar featuring the namesake brew. I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with a side of French Fries. I asked for my egg to be 'cooked through'. The restaurant makes its own English Muffins from a sourdough bread - they are outstanding! The farm eggs were cooked perfectly and the Cooper Sharp Cheese with a little mayo gave the sandwich a savory, rich taste. The French Fries were good - thin, a little crisp on the outside, but tender inside. They made a nice side with the sandwich. Well, I'm sorry I waited so long to try this wonderful little cafe! The Breakfast Sandwich is a must! I'll be anxious to stop back and try another dish!
