Quality espresso is served here. They had some fun flavors on their menu, like the salted rose latte which I really enjoyed. The space inside is cool, not too big and the service was quick. Definitely worth returning to. read more

Great coffee. I was exploring this part of Fishtown and stopped inside quickly. I was able to get a cup of coffee to go in less than 5 minutes. The employees were friendly and the facility looked clean! read more

We didn't get any food here but the baristas know how to get down! I ordered a vanilla latte and the lady ordered an Ube latte. Both were great. I was kind of sad I didn't get a croissant to go with it because that would've been the cherry on top. read more

ReAnimator Coffee - Ube latte :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

ReAnimator is a gem! I keep coming back for their iced ube matcha, which is smooth, sweet, and has that perfect touch of ube flavor. It's easily one of my favorite drinks in the area. The space itself is really nice--modern, open, and great for catching up with friends or getting some work done. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I've brought a few friends here, and they've all loved it too! If you're in Fishtown and looking for great coffee, matcha, or something unique like their ube drinks, this spot is definitely worth a visit. read more

I'm a sucker for salted vanilla/caramel drinks so their SVL was perfection. I got it less sweet and extra hot. It was delightfully made and I throughly enjoyed it! Staff is friendly and this is good place to get work done. read more

ReAnimator's ube coffee is hands-down amazing--smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced with that subtle ube sweetness. Every sip is pure joy, and honestly, it's so good it could wake the dead (fitting name, right?). This is officially my new go-to spot for a pick-me-up that actually makes me excited to get out of bed. read more

Stopped by with my good friend Darby on a weekend day. The line was moderate, but the drinks came out fast. Definitely recommend doing their seasonal drip or classic latte. Coffee was well roasted and didn't give an acidic feel like other trendy shops. The croissant alone is a reason to come back! I absolutely loved the Parmesan croissant; it had a super crunchy airy delight to it. Located right on the corner of a triangle block, the trendy shop has a dominating appearance. Once inside it feels quite homey and cozy and the staff weren't stuffy at all. Highly recommend if in the area for a cup of joe or croissant! read more

Reanimator is a great local coffee spot with locations in the Philadelphia area. Every time I have gone in the drinks have been great, staff has been friendly, and people using the space to either study or work. They are dog friendly and they also have some great pastry options as well. This is definitely I spot I will come back to enjoy some morning coffee. read more

The ginger snap latte is one of the best coffees I've ever had - soothing and minimally sweet. read more

Delicious coffee in a relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly too! Tried the instant espresso at home which was also very good!

Would I still be alive if it weren't for Reanimator? Ok probably but it would be a lesser life. The coffee is top notch. We visit several times a week for coffee and pastries, and the staff are always helpful, quick, and friendly. Don't let a bit of a line deter you, they're fast and you'll be out of there in no time. We're so lucky to have this coffee shop on this side of the neighborhood. read more

Solid dog friendly neighborhood coffee shop with great ambiance and outdoor seating under some lovely shade trees. Friendly service and decent coffee. read more

Great coffee. Great cozy vibe for working or a quick meetup. They always are friendly and the coffee is exceptional.

Reanimator is a classic Sunday morning coffee spot. Good brew and solid eats. I had a small cappuccino (and their small is well....small) and a fresh donut from another local favorite of mine, hello donuts. Will unquestionably be back. Service was speedy and super friendly. They are taking every reasonable covid precaution. Hand sanitizer on offer, contactless payment, staff is correctly masked, they're takeout only (for now), and have a reasonably sized ordering window. read more

My Sunday morning tradition of trying a different local coffee shop led me to ReAnimator. I've followed them on Instagram for a while, and I've heard good things from my Fishtown-living friends. I managed to snag a close street parking spot, but if you're stopping in for a to-go order, you might be okay putting on your blinkers and quickly popping in. The décor is surprisingly simple. A shelf houses a variety of their own roasted beans to take home, there's a couple of small tables inside and out, and there is one small couch and coffee table. It's very bright and clean. When I came, there were two baristas working. It was a very slow morning. One barista was chatting with a friend, and the other was immersed in his phone. The menu is as simple as their set-up. I ordered a mocha, and it was absolutely delicious. My biggest qualm was the service. The girl chatting with her friend didn't acknowledge me until my drink was ready, and the dude on his phone, who took my order, barely spoke three words. Whatever- I guess not everyone is personable in the morning. As far as taste, this place nails it. My mocha was practically perfect. However, I'm keen on feeling welcomed, and I didn't necessarily feel that here. read more

Decent basic coffee/espresso/cappuccino, but the specialty drinks were meh. Staff talks really loud so if you sit at the table close to the register, it will be a little hard to talk to others. read more

So if you're actually in the Fishtown area, don't waste your time. Their coffee is not up to snuff with most of the local places. Atmosphere and dog friendly was cool. But the coffee just isn't good. read more

My mom got me a gift card for Christmas, but when I tried to grab my morning coffee they just say their system doesn't allow it. Feels like they just stole my mom's money. Coffee is still decent, but pretty frustrated. read more

Great coffee, great pastries, terrible line management. If I order a danish and latte online and get to the store 10 mins later, I shouldn't then need to wait in a 10 minute line (made up entirely of people who also ordered online). I get your busy, but there needs to be a better system in place and the people in the store need to be able to implement that system. Example: yesterday I ordered a latte and danish. Got to the store 10 mins later. 4 other people all waiting to get online orders standing outside. No one came to the window for about 10 mins while we stood there and then they asked people their names and handed them orders. That means someone's order was sitting next to the window for 10 mins while they stood outside. Seems unnecessary, especially in the morning when people tend to be in a rush. read more

The people have spoken... if you're local you probably love the spot too. Maybe too much, as there is always a long line in the AM. Thankfully, it moves quickly if they have enough baristas in. And the coffee is great! If you have a pooch, they are dog friendly ! Your dog can get a little treat while you get your morning fuel. A win for everyone! read more

If you're looking for a very hipster, somewhat off the beaten Fishtown path, coffee joint where the coffee is superb and the employees are probably stoned then you found your place! ReAnimator has indoor and outdoor seating but both are limited. I came at around 2pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. I tried the mocha and it was arguably better than La Colombe's mocha. The décor is very minimalist with some mid-century modern furnishings. ReAnimator is caddy corner to Loco Pez and Cedar Point Bar & Kitchen so it's a very promising location for a hangover cure or a bite and a pick-me-up. I love that this area is mainly residential and not as busy as the Frankford/Girard part of Fishtown. I will be back! Tip: They don't have a ton of pastries or breakfast food if any. read more

Favorite neighborhood go-to spot! I love recommending this place to friends from out of town, I don't think I've ever had a bad coffee drink from here tbh which, is why I keep coming back!! read more

Great spot!! I've been in several times to get coffee for myself (great pour over options!!!), but also to buy coffee to give as gifts. I love they have "Roasted in Philadelphia" on the bags!! The baristas are helpful with recommendations of coffees to try and they have different pastry options as well. Randomly enough, the pretzel short bread (didn't even know that existed) is AMAZING and something I get whenever I stop in. If you're in the area, Reanimator is a great place to stop in!! read more

Coffee is delicious! At this location, they offer a variety of toasts - avocado, hummus, ricotta, and kimchi. All were delicious, minus the kimchi- not for me! The coffee shop is generally quiet, people keep to themselves, and it has a nice variety of seating options. They sell coffee beans and mugs, even tshirts and knick knacks. One of my favorite coffee shops in Philly, can't wait for the South Philly location to open! read more

Aaah sweet ReAnimation!! Great espresso extraction, brown sugar notes, berries, sweet not over roasted and for that it keep the fruit notes, sweetness and great balance of acidity. Now, this is how it's made! I use to love Ultimo Cafe in Phily, but about a year ago something changed and even though it's getting a lot of hype is not my favorite anymore. (Not consistent enough and terrible service...: "Ultimo Cafe") I have bought ReAnimator coffee bans before and they have proven consistent over a one year period. I'm so exited that I finally got to come to their coffee shop. It was as good as you can expect. The hipster Baristas are friendly, knowledgeable about the product and therefore getting the optional taste on their extractions and brewing. The place is industrial looking with great ample space for savoring and concentrating on work. read more

Sparkling water served to enhance the flavor profile of your espresso. Super strong and flavorful iced (or hot) coffee. I'm in heaven-- and so lucky my friend lives walking distance for this wonderful experience every time I come to Philly. Fan of latte art? Look no further-- the baristas I've watched pour their drinks do it flawlessly and in a timely fashion. Dig pour over coffee? They have that too! Super swell and down to earth staff, aesthetically pleasant with quiet (refined, even) customers, and they even roast their own beans. Reanimator raises the bar for cafés effortlessly and makes me wish I could relocate them home. read more

Coffee was amazing. I forget the roast but it had a real earthy flavor. At the barista's suggestion. The space inside the café was huge. Unlike other cafés I've worked in, I felt like there was some privacy from the other patrons. The staff was polite, friendly and WAY into coffee. I imagine their personal wardrobes contain several items with coffee pun slogans. "Just Brew It" "Bean There, Done That" "Roast With the Most" "Baristas Do It With a Grinder" I didn't actually see any of these slogan shirts but they were THAT into coffee. read more

From sampling their fine coffees during a couple of Punk Rock Flea Markets (and HubBub), to savoring bags of their Burundi and Papa New Guinea blends, and ESPECIALLY loving the cleric and resurrected skeleton logo; Reanimator Coffee is a definitely an amazing brew that has piqued my enjoyment for quite sometime. So when I had some time to kill in Fishtown I decided to finally come and see how it stacked up as a coffeehouse. And I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The inside houses a fine cafe setting with a wooden decor, plenty of tables close to electric outlets, one big table for a group, and a nice couch to the side; which along with the free wifi is pretty much everything that you can ask for in coffeehouse ambiance. Whether you go for a regular of whatever's brewing, or get a siphoned coffee form their plentiful selection Reanimator's brews are all spot on. Whether its the Peru Puno, the masterful Telemetry Blend, or the 2014 Good Foods Awards winning Ethiopia SOTA blend; all the beans are smooth and deliver all advertised flavors. Add in plenty of fresh baked goods and you have the perfect spot to catch up on some reading in. read more

Definitely a good cup of coffee. Simple menu, reanimated's own roasted beans are available, way hipster vibe. Residential Fishtown location can make parking a challenge but if you're looking for some Philly coffee put them on your list. There isn't a huge amount of seating in this location, but it's a nice open and quiet space if you want to work. They have season drinks as well as lots of milk options. If you get there and the maple spice latte is available give it a try! read more

Overall, a good coffee shop to check out when traveling through Philadelphia. Ambience- A folk emphasis coffee shop, that played a wide genre of music from classic rock to modern pop. A little empty on the inside, not much decor or seating Coffee- Pretty standard menu from cortado, espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, coffee, and whatever else your heart desires including cider (cheers) Service- I came in mid day (aka not rush hour coffee hour) with that being said the baristas were pretty chill, made the coffee quick and efficiently, as well as giving me a list of their recommended spots for cheesesteaks HELLLLLOOO Would I come back? Yes, I wouldn't mind it but I would prefer to check out another spot before coming back here. Didn't have the 5 star factor for me. read more

Some of the best coffee wether you are buying to go or brew at home. They know how to make good coffee too, I'm always amazed at how some coffee joints have good beans but can't brew it. That's not the case here, consequently it can be oppressively hipster but hey it's a coffee house that's kind of the point. But I have always found the staff to be super nice and helpful. read more

I have to admit, ReAnimator Coffee was actually fantastic. Such a wonderful addition to the area. Every thing was fresh, healthy, and extremely tasty. The service was also fabulous and everybody was kind. It's a really nice place. read more

I enjoy coffee. That's no secret. Up until today, I had been enjoying ReAnimator coffee from my normal shop in CC (HubBub) and buying it at Whole Foods. After deciding that I needed more Fishtown in my life, I made the pilgrimage and I'm happy I did. It's located on a great corner. With the other spots right around, it makes ReAnimator easy to get to and a great spot for an after meal cup of joe or shot. I visited on a Saturday morning and it seemed completely peaceful. If you're the type to sit, read, work or just relax this shop will work for you. It spacious, nicely designed and the coffee they are turning out is some serious product. I didn't recognize the espresso machine they were using but it pulled a beautiful, velvetty shot and was exactly what I was looking for. More wonderful coffee in Philadelphia, what's not to love? read more

Honestly as a coffee enthusiast this place hits the spot. It's a quaint shop that focuses on coffee like it is supposed too. It's built for a niche and they do it well. Watching the steps they take its legit. Heated purified water is boiled and then the coffee is measured and ground right then and there. Straight into the hand drip contraption with a wetted paper filter that was pretreated with heated water. Cup is on a scale for the perfect amount of coffee. Water is kept at above 195. Grounds are allowed to bloom and then the barista gradually hand drips consistently till your cup is done. The beans are fresh because of the bloom and you can tell the co2 is releasing. Only got to try the Ethiopian sola I believe it's called. Great cup of coffee. Does it call for the 3.50 price for a cup of black coffee? If you like to spoil yourself once in a while with the different unique kind of beans and the flavors it brings then yes. It's targeted for the coffee enthusiast, you have to keep that in mind. And if you don't like the price that they offer, all the equipment they use and the beans that they use are sold here. For an initial investment and with some knowledge you can make it at home. I can't justify the 3.50 a cup consistently because I'm a student who can't afford it all the time. But if you want to learn more about coffee and the process of brewing coffee come stop by and they will be more than happy to let you know the process they take. 5 stars because it nails on the head what they are trying to do. read more

Time for a confession: when I first saw that we were getting another coffee shop in Fishtown, I bitched and moaned about it to everyone I could find. ("Haven't we hit coffee shop saturation already? Couldn't we have an actually useful business, like a dry cleaners?") After my first visit, I had to take it all back. This is the best coffee I've had since I-don't-know when, and unlike Rocket Cat the staff here is friendly and helpful, and the space is inviting, and really well set up for reading, working, conversation, whatever. I'm psyched this place is on my block...though I'm still holding out for that dry cleaners. read more
