    Cozy spot to gather with friends for some warm winter treats and delicious drinks.

    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.

    HOT COFFEE!

    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!

    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.

    I always love going to Thunder Mug. The coffee is tasty, the staff are nice, and they have really comfy chairs to read in.

    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.

    strawberry latte

    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!

    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!

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

    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

    I wasn't a huge fan of Pilgrim Roasters. The coffee wasn't really to my taste and had an almost…read moresour flavor. It's also a little pricey for what it is. 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.

The home made syrups and flavors are delectable. They taste flavorful without being too sweet. The lavender agave latte was perfectly lavender and herby without being too sweet. A natural subtle sweetness. Also got the cozy campfire latte which came with a cute little ghost made of marshmallow fluff. The owner is so genuine and sweet. And the shop is complete with so many artesanal pots, pottery, and beautiful houseplants. A wide array of flavors. The food is also freshly made. The baked goods are maybe my favorite in Philly. The croissants, s'mores brownie, pumpkin cookies were so fresh and delicious. Nothing I have had here has been a miss. The atmosphere of plants, good food, coffees, and hip Spanish music makes this an amazing spot to be with vibrant positive energy. The prices are so good for the quality of service and food/drink.
