My husband and I consider ourselves big coffee people - preferring local spots over chains. So when…read morein Philadelphia for 36 hours, we decided to try this place. And I have to say - this is quite possibly the best iced coffee I've ever had. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cold brew, which absolutely was reminiscent of the cereal. My husband though had the cold brew with banana bread and it's literally the best thing I've had in a long time. Would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone - but be ready for a line literally out the door.

This place is always packed but for good reason. They offer a huge drink menu with lots of…read moredifferent flavors - I came for a matcha latte with guava syrup. It was almost $10, which is a little crazy even with today's coffee prices, but absolutely worth it. The matcha flavor was strong and not bitter (rare to find in Philly!), the guava syrup was so delicious and not artificial tasting, and the drink overall wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Don't think I could justify paying this much for a drink on a regular basis, but for a treat I would absolutely return

Absolutely disappointing and unprofessional. We went to them since we wanted to work with a local…read moreshop on our engagement ring, their guy seemed nice, but it theirs out he wasn't experienced or qualified and was bs'ing his way through things. When we asked some simple clarification questions he told us he could t work with us anymore, ran away and disappeared, with only a couple months before the wedding leaving us without a ring. The diamond we gave him to use when it came back was clearly substituted with another cheaper one, and our inquiries went unanswered. This is theft, and these folks are un trustworthy and not a professional operation or interested in any kind of respectful and honest customer service. Stay clear of them and work with someone more on the level.

This place is neither a workshop nor underground but I'm not going to hold that against it. What it…read moreis is an adorable little shop with some really cute jewelry that's actually affordable (3 pack of studs for $20, yes please), trinkets that would make great gifts (hello lighter with 8track design and penguin shaped cocktail mixer), and some great hats and ear muffs that are on sale right now, just to give some examples. They're also going to be adding some plant life to their selection. Staff was friendly but not too pushy, and even offered me a mimosa while I shopped! Genius business plan. I bought some really cute earrings and I feel like they were discounted because of that drink, that's how that works right? Great place to kill time while you're waiting 45 minutes for Little Spoon/The Cambridge to call your name.

The cashier didn't greet me or offer a basket, but you can request one if you need it. They basically let you do your own thing. Overall, I found the prices for the products to be reasonable. This shop is located right in the middle of China town! I would recommend finding a 'pay for parking' lot near the fire station for a few hours then walk over as you grab lunch and shop at other stores!

Set around Philadelphia city hall and one of the city's traditional holiday events it is worth a…read morevisit. Nestled side by side with the 'Christmas Village' market the Made in Philly has many small stalls selling candles, clothes, ornaments, food drink both hard and soft, and is a great place to shop for the season. While the 'the Christmas Village is more international and mass produced. Made in Philly is, as the name implies more local business and more artesian. If you're looking for that holiday something that screams local pride, this is it! Besides being smaller than the Christmas village the Made in Philly market is a little more relaxed. There are more areas to sit down and let your mind wander and abutting the Rothman ice rink you're not just limited to shopping and dining. I would recommend going during the day and going early in the season as the site gets busier in the evenings as commutes stop off and on the weekends. You may also find stocks not dwindling as the season rolls on as these are produced locally. Afterall it's easier to get a shipment in from Fishtown than something going to the Christmas Village from Dresden or Stockholm! Also they do not seem to have the problems with a uniform form of payment that is a both in the Christmas village. The one real downside here is the limited selection. While smaller than the Xmas Village there is also a sameness to some of the stalls, there's only so much you can do with scented candles.

Overall a fun holiday market with the standard things you'd expect (candles, bath/lotion items,…read morejewelery). A little bit crowded when I went the Friday before xmas. A good number of visitors not masking. I highly recommend using the portapotties outside rather than the bathrooms inside, as the portapotties were surprisingly very clean and had no line, while the indoor bathroom had a long line of 50% unmasked individuals and some stalls had no toilet paper. Loud music may make this less than ideal for people with babies.

Also, this lovely boutique is woman-owned and I love their branding. First, the decor is everything and I wanted everything! I went in a few mins before they closed on a beautiful Sunday evening. The young lady that worked there was very attentive and answered all my crazy questions. I met the owner (I did not know it was her at the time; so down-to-earth and sweet). My experience here was really nice. Ritual Shoppe has mystical items, apothecary (also pink LOL), beautiful fine jewelry, etc. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again and spending more time looking at more of what the shop offers.
