Entrance sign for Top Hat Coffee Lounge

As another reviewer said, a hidden gem indeed. There is only one person who currently works here. I am guessing he is an/the owner or a manager. The location doesn't have breakfast food like the other but it is still a nice location. The place is a bit hard to find as they are not allowed to advertise outside. You have to enter the building and look around on the first floor. From the main entrance, go straight and then make a right. It will be on your left. (This also implies that this place will be super quiet if that is what you want.) I wouldn't normally look for a coffee shop or such in a medical building as a person could feel out of place. But a TooGoodToGo order took me here. Naturally, people who work in the building stop here and random hotel guests in the area as well. Not a lot of foot traffic and free wi-fi! A great quiet place to work if the hours work out for you. I have to work until 6 so until 3 pm would not be ideal for me unfortunately. I also decided to get the Velvet Shakerato special because I always want a different item I can't really get elsewhere. I couldn't take it out and had to drink on-site but I cared more about trying the drink than the convenience. The coffee staffer rarely gets to make that special apparently. It has (thanks Instagram!!) espresso, vanilla, brown sugar, cream (cream helps a lot), and some Hersheys chocolate grated at the end. I didn't taste any "bitters" so either it was covered by the other ingredients or more likely a Hersheys chocolate bar replaced the chocolate bitters. I also poignantly noticed the employee didn't want to use chocolate that fell out onto the counter. Even though I didn't feel the counter was dirty and don't really think of these things too much, it was nice of him to be extra considerate. He might've had to throw those chocolate pieces away but I would have gladly not wanted them to go to waste. But I am not most people and not everyone would want to do TooGoodToGo either. What looks like a lemon pastry is actually a ham and cheese pastry. I got surprised. Still good! No allergies here thankfully!! Also, if you're doing TooGoodToGo, better to order the night before as it may sell out. Pick up time is between 8 AM - 1 PM (awesome options, subject to change). Planning can be important for this kind of thing.

I've tried Top Hat Coffee Lounge by the UPenn campus, but I'm glad I discovered this new location! It's definitely hidden within a plaza and is situated within the walkway as you exit Saks Fifth Avenue. While the space is small, there is still plenty to order in terms of drinks and several pastries as well. The staff greeted us with a very warm welcome and was patient while we decided on our drinks. My friend and I both ordered oat matcha lattes, which were delicious and tasted like high-quality matcha as we were told :) The added perk is that he did not charge us for substituting our milk with oat milk, so thank you for that!

This hidden gem is a great place to stop for coffee and a quick bite. A short 10 min walk from the Philadelphia Amtrak station its the perfect place to rest before or after travel or spend a few hours working. I had the chai latte which was delicious and paired with one of their speciality waffles. I will say that this was a bit of a sugar overload but they were worth it! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Great variety of drink offerings - coffee, matcha, and smoothies! I got an iced dirty chai that was so good! Not a super spicy chai, but a good amount of cinnamon. They also have a handful of pastries to choose from. Entrance is inside the building near Saks

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.

You step inside seeing one half is a living room sit down area, then the other half is both charming, quaint coffee house mixed with an open view of the roasting operation. When entering, I came during a slow period before the rush came shortly thereafter around 9:30am. Not only were staff friendly with me during the slow time, knowledgeable to point me in the direction for coffee, and efficient making the coffee; they were equally the same energy when it became busy. I had both the cold brew (black) and the pictured: Fruit Loop Latte - both were good in their own right and can't go wrong. I'd definitely recommend Little Goat Coffee to all would be travelers and locals alike. Locals pointed me here, so I'll continue to spread the good word and point others here too.

I've been meaning to visit this amazing business for quite a while! They have been open since…read more2001. However, I'm happy I finally made it. They exceeded my positive expectations by far. Very clean, great customer service and a nice variety of traditional coffees, and traditional Vietnamese blends. Very good food menu that offers you the variety of light to filling sandwiches. I ordered the fried chicken Banh Mi sandwich. This is one of their best sellers. Everything was very fresh, from the bread to the chicken. Amazing balance of traditional flavours. I also ordered the Salted Brûlée Cà Phẽ coffee. Very traditional coffee. Their take on cà phê muối - Vietnamese salted coffee! Strong and balanced. Coffee is topped w/ a salted cream cold foam and torched brown sugar. Only served iced. Absolutely delicious! I'm looking forward to coming back here more regularly. It's a beautiful space to catch up on work, or to just enjoy the nice environment they have while enjoying the lovely food and drink options.

Service was horrible. 1/10 rating! Came with a group of 12 people and we saw the store was busy so we placed about 4-5 online orders. All mostly drinks. Online said it would take an hour which we were kinda shocked but decided okay. We ended up leaving for a bit to pass time until pick up time around 12:50/1pm. Everyone's orders should've been ready when we got there around 1pm ish but nope. The smallest orders consisting of 2 drinks and a simple cha lua sandwich were no where to be seen. Employees were not caring that we basically ended up waiting 2 hours for a drink and a sandwich, because most of us didn't get our drinks and 2 sandwiches until close to 2pm. Employees were ignoring us but saw that we had arrived to pick up our online orders. Our tickets were still on the wall of orders way past pick up time. When they saw we came to pick up the rushed and said in Vietnamese "hurry up they're here to pick up!" They thought we didn't speak Vietnamese, but we understood everything. Some workers were just playing around taking selfies and not in any rush to give us our orders. One of our orders was made so early that when we picked up the ice melted making us spill everywhere and the tamarind fries were basically lukewarm. On a bright side, we did enjoy the drinks (when it was made on time) and the food wasn't bad. Would I visit again? I don't know honestly, the service was too off putting.

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!

Not overtly sweet and tasted like autumn and crunchy leaves! The staff seemed very nice and knowledgeable, not pretentious!
