I would definitely try Thunder Mug again. The latte was decent. And so was the food I tried. A breakfast sandwich and a feta cheese stuffed pastry. Barista seemed really busy even though I was the only person in there? Definitely was not interested in making any small talk at all, but hey, I cant blame him lol. As long as my drink is made well, I'm fine with it. There were a few people working on laptops in the other room so seems like a good WFH location if anyone is looking for that. read more

I recently stopped by Thunder Mug Coffee. Anyone looking for a fantastic coffee shop experience. This is the place. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was spot-on. It has this perfect cozy yet energetic vibe--the kind of place you want to settle into with a book or meet up with friends. But let's talk about the essentials: Great Coffee: Seriously, the coffee here is top-notch. It was rich, perfectly brewed, and exactly what I needed to kick off my day. Good Food: I grabbed a bite to eat (I had a croissant), and it was delicious. If you are in the area (near sixth man) and need a caffeine fix or a great place to relax, you must check out Thunder Mug Coffee. read more

Slowly this place has become my absolute go to for coffee. Their regular drip is great. Comfy, cozy atmosphere on the inside. No wonder this is five stars across the board. Seems like there is a descent amount of foot traffic daily. People seem to love the cream beignet as it's a highly requested items. Bagels also seem to be a hot seller. read more

Hidden gem in East Falls! Thunder Mug is a chill, no-frills coffee spot tucked away on Ridge Ave. I had the za'atar croissant. It was flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor. Totally elevated the usual croissant game. The drip coffee was hot and smooth. Super friendly service. Definitely recommend! read more

It's a nice space w a lot of seating. The staff was nice, offered input on the menu. The coffee is p good, smooth and flavorful, with a variety of options. They had a decent selection of pastries and also had breakfast sandwiches. The owner seemed grumpy which made me less willing to return despite the good coffee, space, and staff. read more

My favorite spot for unique pastries and good coffee. Thundermug is a hidden gem and always has such a good variety of pastries to pair with your morning coffee. They also have an outdoor patio with lots of seating inside. The service is always so helpful and informative. I see them at the farmers market and always grab a coffee in passing. Inside has a seating place for whatever you want to do. Ambiance is great. read more

Amazing service, great coffee, even better atmosphere! We got the cereal milk latte and an iced strawberry latte. They were both delicious and averaged about $5.50 each. The croissant was SO good. This is the type of pastry you'd pay $7-9 for somewhere else, and here it was only $3.50! This establishment is worth the stop if you're in the area. Everyone was kind and everything is super good! read more

Rode our bikes up to East Falls on July 4th. This was literally the only place open but turned out to be a great problem to run into. Came a bit late in the morning so only had the jalepeno cheddar bagels left - had a lox sandwich on that. Not too much cream cheese, came with a pickle which was nice. Simple but done well. Also had some sort of pastry (like an unfilled doughnut) which was just perfectly cooked - I forget where they get their baked goods from but it was excellent. Like biting into a cloud and not too sweet. My wife's iced coffee was great too. It was surprisingly busy so I felt bad for the one guy that was working, but we was still pretty friendly and quick. Cozy and well decorated with cool artwork on the wall and some nice furniture. Quiet and a good place to work. If it wasn't nowhere near where we live we'd be back for sure! read more

I had some friends recommend Thunder Mugs as a nice, local coffee joint. The type of place you could pop in for your daily coffee. We wanted to try somewhere new and you're able to order online. We did an order of some coffee and pastries. I had an iced mocha, a cheese danish, and a croissant. Coffee was delicious. Nice chocolate flavor. The croissant and cheese danish had a perfect pastry. The cheese danish was a little light on the cheese, but so good! Definitely going to be coming back! read more

Cute shop, very nice workers, but mediocre coffee. I got a standard latte with regular milk, and I'd buy it again if I were in a pinch since I live right up the street. I'll go elsewhere for better coffee though. read more

Cute little local coffee shop with some inside and outside sidewalk seating. Only a few items on the menu but my latte was well made and deliciously foamy. I love the cute logo on the cup. They have a case of pastries and had two types of donuts. There were fluffy au fournil filled donuts-I had the vanilla crème patisserie. And they also had okiedokie donuts. read more

Decided to check out this cafe based on the positive reviews but ended up leaving disappointed. We got the cinnamon raisin toast from Ursa Bakery and the beignets from Au Fournil along with a hot tea. The bread was the highlight. Service wasn't great. Little things like curt, vague answers and handing us a bread basket with the knife blade sticking out just make the service seem thoughtless. Nothing really to make us want to go back. read more

Cortado was good but they charged me 1.50 extra for 2 ounces of oat milk. Kind of insane.

Going out for chai lattes first thing in the morning has become somewhat of a tradition for me and my cousin. Thunder Mug was a stone's throw away from his new place, with a pretty pleasant walk downhill toward the main part of town. While the chai was a-okay, their zatar croissant was amazing! read more

Great coffee shop! There's plenty of indoor seating and a few tables outside. It's right across the street from a park and a very short walk to the River Trail. There is one step to enter, but we were still able to enter with our stroller. My husband ordered a regular coffee and said it was good - I went with the iced oat milk lavender latte and it was outstanding. I don't think I've ordered a lavender latte before (normally stick with unflavored or vanilla) but it was delicious and among the best lattes I've ever enjoyed. They had quite a few pastry options, including vegan items from Crust. I went with the vegan Brookie and it was so good - would have never guessed it was made without butter. Will happily return when I'm in the area! read more

Great little spot perfect for before a Saturday farmers market. They do have food options which is a plus being that most do not and they also support local bakeries by selling those in the shop as well. Good variety of coffee, nice workers. Only downside is the immediate space isn't big so don't be deceived if it looks to crowded. Give them a try!! read more

Lovely little coffee shop on Ridge in East Falls. It's a good place to work or catch up with a friend over a cup of hot coffee. They provide donuts and pastries from local vendors and they are quite friendly. While I typically go for a cup of black drip coffee, they have a ton of varieties. When it's a nice day, they also have tables outdoors. They're great about updating their instagram with photos of the latest baked goods. Definitely amongst my favorite Philly coffee stops. read more

I have trying to save money and not buy coffee recently and that makes driving or walking past this spot all the more difficult. But, when I do feel lazy or the weather is just right I just love to get a warm coffee or drink from Thunder mug! The bakery selection is lovely and I always get a hand pie. They come out smoking hot! My personal favorite is the curry chicken. This is also a small business and the owner is just the nicest lady. Shop local and enjoy a Thunder mug coffee! read more

I've been here quite often over the years. I love everything about this place. The food, coffee and teas are excellent. I had a lox sandwich that was filled with deliciousness. Fresh lox herbs and a bagel. Delicious and filling. The service is excellent even when you have trouble making up your mind. Perfection in a cup, is how describe their teas and coffees. The decor is late 60s hipster. The prices are on point for the location. read more

One of the best coffee shops I've ever been to! I had the cheese board and a coffee. The coffee was rich and DELICIOUS and the cheese board, aside from being gorgeous was delicious as well! Next time I go there I'm going to try one of the pastries! I overheard another customer talking about how tasty the muffin they were having was. So glad Thunder Mug moved into the neighborhood! A must try for anyone in the area. Came back and got the lavender latte with almond milk. So delicious!!! read more

A really cute little cafe. Very peaceful. I will definitely be returning.

This place is awesome! The owners are extremely kind and personable. I love coming in and makes my heart nice and warm hearing them greeting me in the morning when I make my coffee run. Although it is small in the inside, it's very nice and cozy. The drinks as well are great. They're always looking for ways to improve themselves which I greatly admire! They hosts other events as well at this small cafe which makes it more of a community! Would 10/10 recommend. read more

This is a great new neighborhood spot! Always good to see a new business open in East Falls. The owners are very nice and the inside feels very homey. I enjoyed my hot chocolate immensely and sampled quite a few of the pastry pieces they had. Will need to try more things and order a full size pastry soon! read more

Love love love!!! Great vibes better menu! Cute location right on ridge ave and can't wait to go back :)

Glad to see a new independent business on Ridge Ave. Enjoyed a proper cold brew coffee. It was very tasty. Will have to return to try more drinks, treats, and an afternoon high tea. Lizette and Brandon, Thank you for the kind service. :) read more

So happy to now have a great local daily coffee spot! I also like hanging out to read here on the weekends. I stick with the coffee drinks and never disappointed. read more

Great spot. Attention to quality very evident. I appreciated a very well-made London fog. Also the vegan brownie thing hit the spot. When I'm depressed, sugar and caffeine are my go to's. They never let me down. Suggestion: put a folding sign out on the sidewalk. It's very easy to drive by the store and miss it completely. read more

They make the best coffee I've ever had. I've tried to make some lattes at home, and it's unmatched to them. They also have such delicious pastry options, including gluten free options! read more

Great coffee and amazing baked items in the most obscure storefront on Ridge Av. in East Falls.

Thunder Mug is an electrifying new hang out spot! The coffee and teas are local, as are the yummy pastries. Brandon makes a mean mug of smooth java (mmmmmm, and HOT!), but Lizette is the visionary for the dope layout, full of chill vibes and feng shui. The aesthetics is everything! Mornings here are for coffee and contemplation. read more

everything about this cafe is A+ . my husband and i have extremely different taste in morning beverages and thunder mug is the only place where we both get exactly what we like :) we try every new shop we see but always end up back at thunder mug. the owner is so warm and welcoming, every employee is sweet to me and that makes such a difference when i'm waiting for morning caffiene. there's always a sunny place to sit with a little plant near you, and it's never a stressful vibe. the menu is huge and the coffee is never burned or watery. my fav barista is ryan because he is super sweet, makes the best drinks and literally remembers my order. this place is simply the best and makes me feel like i can still have a good day even when i'm tired as hell. read more
