Iced latte, iced matcha latte
Roxanne O.

Came in for a quick matcha. We were able to get seating on a Saturday afternoon, though there were several people working there. Matcha was made quickly, no complaints.

I loved the vibe of Reanimator Coffee. The inside set up feels very welcoming, and I liked that there was ample seating. On the day I went, it was pretty nice outside too, so I enjoyed that there was outdoor seating available as well. I got an Iced Americano, which was pretty standard but good. I like the reusable cups that the drinks came in. My friend got the Blackberry Sage Tonic, which I also thought was really tasty. I would happily come back here!

If you work from home and need a break from home, you'll find it here. Pretty diverse, staff is nice, music is low, allowing got a good workspace. Their donuts are pretty great too!

Rose cardamom oat milk latte, iced peppermint mocha

Wow I think this spot may b my fav cafe in philly! Ive literally only been here twice lmao but both times have had nothing short of a perfect experience. First time was at the end of last spring semester i came to try the seasonal espresso lime mojito something specialty drink and the barista warned me that it was controversial so they wld be happy to make me another drink if i didnt like it. Shld have heeded the warning but they came up and asked what i thot and when i told them it wasnt really for me they made me their specialty salted vanilla latte instead (for free!) which to this day is one of the best coffees ive ever had. This review is getting long but i just had to share that story bc that was such a nice thing for someone to do and ill forever remember it. This time my friend and i came to work and we tried their seasonal peppermint mocha and rose cardamom latte which were both amazing. So flavorful without being overbearing at all -- still felt light and delicious with a well roasted bean. Especially the hot rose cardamom was incredible. The ambience of this place, set so well by the decor, the kind people, and the tasteful for-here cups make it such a good place to work if u can snag a seat. Am definitely going to try to frequent this place more in the future

Cute cafe! I went inside because a friend of mine mentioned they had beignet but she forgot to mention that it was a beignet donut. So I was a little bummed to learn that it wasn't the beignet that I was expecting to eat but the donut was really good. Light, fluffy and sweet. I wasn't a fan of my ice coffee it was a salted vanilla latte. I spent $10 for everything. I would totally go back, I would just try something different. Service was okay the gentleman working the cashier registered suggested the latte.

See photo below. (But since yelp requires 80+ characters: Coffee good. Espresso good. Pastry good. Service good. Haven't tried their yogurt parfait, probably good.)

One of my favorite coffee shops in Philly, I absolutely love their vanilla lattes!! I tried both the ginger latte and regular vanilla, but I prefer the regular vanilla iced lattes as I'm not too big of a spice fan. The beignet donut was good: pretty soft and not overly sweet, but I didn't think anything stood out to me about it. It is nice to pair with the coffees though! (I think a hot coffee would go really well with it honestly). Their latte art is well done, and great cafe vibes inside!

Such a quaint location in the heart of this neighborhood. Outdoor and indoor seating provided to enjoy a fresh brew. Staff was super friendly and even offered for a sample of the weekly drip coffee to sample first, you know how that always gets me :) Reanimator is located all throughout Philadelphia but glad that it came to this part of town!

Stopped by for a quick caffeine kick and found this hidden gem! [Ambiance] Very chill and mellow. Natural sunlight coming in through the window. Even outdoor seating. Love the open interior. Nice place to chat with friends or have some meditative me-time. [Service] Both workers were super super sweet and nice. Calming presence. Not even an ounce of pretentiousness. [Drinks] Only really tried the hot coffee black and I enjoyed it. Tax is not included in the cost of the drink. A bit pricey, hence the 4/5 stars. $3.24 for a large hot coffee.

I'm a really big fan of the space. The windows are large so a lot of sunlight comes in, and even though there aren't too many tables, there's always a couple of seats open. It tends to be busier during the weekend but if you go early, there will definitely be open seats. There are also a couple of tables and seats outside if the weather is nice and if you would rather enjoy your coffee outside. Music tends to be on the loud side, so I would bring noise canceling headphones if you're trying to get a lot of work done. The bathroom is clean too which is a plus! Coffee is pretty solid. There are also pastries if you want something with your coffee, and apparently the avocado toast is good (according to a friend). I like to get the almond croissant along with coffee if I'm staying to study. Bottom line is, this is one of my favorite cafes in West Philly!

One of my guilty pleasure secret shops!…read more Okay, maybe it's not a secret, Top Hat is pretty popular. But when I go, I feel like there is never a line! It is located in a medical office building, but once you find it, you won't stop going. It's a smaller place, with only about three tables in the actually shop itself. But because it's located in a larger building, you could easily go here and work while you drink your coffee. Each month they have a new specialty coffee, and when sweater weather or crème brûlée coffee is in season, I'm pretty much a daily customer. As a gluten-free-er, I will say that they do not have many GF pastry options for food, so I would not bet on that. But coffe is an absolute yes! They are not only so nice, but so friendly too! When I bought my coffee machine for home, they were so helpful in teaching me what beans are best, what grind is best, and how to quickly whip something good together. Now, I almost exclusively buy their ground espresso for my coffee machine! They have two locations, so plenty of chances to try them out!

The coffee is always great, but the exceptional service keeps me coming back. Thank you, Italia, for making every visit such a pleasant experience. You're an incredible asset to Top Hat Coffee Shop!

I've honestly never had anything bad on the menu, so go nuts trying things. They won't warm up their pastries, FYI, in case that's a deal breaker for you. This is very understandable if you're in there when they're even a little busy, however - it would murder the workflow and make wait times a pain. This is a small but very popular shop in the middle of a high traffic neighborhood with an elementary school around the corner, so if you're trying to hunker down and have a whole work day, for your own sake, and the sake of the neighborhood, go somewhere else. It's a good spot for a coffee meeting, or an hour or two of work, though. Peak times are early to midday in general, but especially on the weekends, as with most coffee shops.

It's quiet, not hustling, people walking their dogs, reading the newspapers, chatting outside, like the kind you see in the movies! The vibe is kinda industrial/ warehouse aesthetic.

Walking into Pilgrims brought back so much nostalgia. It's been a few years since I visited…read moreregularly (as a student & wfh employee) but it's easy to tell not much has changed. Pilgrims is still a solid coffee shop and it's ran by the same smiling face behind the counter. Overall this place has great coffee, pastries and a casual ambiance that's perfect for people to get some work done. They've continued to offer more food & drink options that include prepackaged grab & go snacks like granola bars or chocolate milk. They also sell their coffee beans and some other coffee & non coffee related nicknacks. As for my initial review, I'm happy to report my tastebuds have matured and I don't need a million sugary drink options to be satisfied with a coffee shop. Pilgrims does have a larger menu with the option to add flavor to just about anything now but I wouldn't come to pilgrims looking for an elaborate seasonal "designer" latte with toppings. They might make a seasonal drink but i don't think it'll have as much sugar as some other shops that sell diabetes in a cup

On the plus side, the raisin pastry was pretty good, and the staff was very friendly and warm. The space is fairly small with limited seating, and there's a roaster on site, which gives the place a distinct atmosphere. Just keep in mind that there's no free parking, so plan accordingly.

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

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

This is now my absolute favorite coffee shop in the city right now…read more I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but I do know a strong espresso and complex flavors. After sitting here for 3 plus hours trying 3 separate drinks, I can officially say this place is amazing. I was recommended by a friend who lived near Race street previously, and I was not disappointed. I tried the salted caramel latte, the blueberry bliss latte, and the tiramisu latte. Never underestimate the power of a good caramel latte. I would leave 4.5/5 starts only because I couldn't find any gluten free or vegan pastries in their shelf. I am gluten free and am always looking to pair a little snack with my coffee. There are plenty of places to sit with so much natural light pouring in. You can also do homework here if needed. Other than that, I can't say enough good things about this place.

Ambience was nice, and not too much noise or background disturbances. There's generally a lot of seating here, with ample outlets. I've visited previous times where there hasn't been a lot of free space because this is a student hotspot for nearby Drexel and UPenn. But that's honestly no fault to the cafe itself-- they are pretty much maxing out space without beginning to feel too cluttered and sacrificing the "vibe". Ordered a drip and a English muffin breakfast sandwich. One of my friends also completed the "Google review for a cookie" deal, and we enjoyed a piping hot freshly baked cookie! Overall I'd definitely consider this a place to meet up, or lock in while studying. Just make sure to consider the time of day and time of year academically, as this is a popular student spot.

Of course, I had to try it out and I was so happy with what I found. Starting with the decor, from outside to in Haraz had a whole aesthetic that felt luxury and colorful. The menu was vast, with so many different coffee, tea, and drink options to order. I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices, and the staff was amazing at explaining flavor profiles and recommendations. I will say, the main reason I did not give 5/5 stars is because of their lack of Gluten free options. I am always hopeful that local coffee shops will offer vegan or GF pastries alongside their menu, but they unfortunately did not have any GF food items for me. Other than this, I would absolutely return for the delicious coffee.
