It'll do. I mean, it is what it is advertised to be. A coffee shop that sells coffee and pastries, and has places to sit while you consume said coffee and pastry. Decent amount of seating too. Not the most comfortable seating I've ever experienced, but seating nonetheless. 3 choices for creamer - almond, oat, and whole milk. That's the list. Kinda disappointing tbh. More of a skim milk guy. Saying that, I defaulted to the almond milk latte and almond milk in my drip coffee. A serviceable second choice that didn't leave me too disappointed, I reckon. The coffee was fine. Not memorable. Not exciting. Again - it was what it said on the sign. I was a little put off by an action taken by the person working the till. I ordered my drink, inserted my card, and the individual stood there staring at me and what I was doing to see if I would tip or not. When I finally clicked the $1 tip option, the individual then looked away. They didn't even make the drink - their colleague made the drink - so that was a bit off-putting tbh. Anyhow. It is fine. I don't expect I'll come back to Ultimo unless I just so happen to be in the area and really feel like I need/want a coffee. There are better options elsewhere.
10 out of 10 every time. My go to place for iced cortado's and pastries. They always have a great selection of sweets such as apple cake, ricotta cake, fruit breads, and croissants. All the barristers are courteous and experienced. They also have a large seating area for you to work quietly as well. I love a consistent coffeehouse.
Nice local cafe. It's a pretty big cafe with lots of seating and natural lighting. The music wasn't blasting and it wasn't too busy so it was a good place to work in. I got an iced hibiscus berry and it was good. Nothing super special.
Nice space, nice workers, coffee is meh. dont get the chia pudding. okokokok ultimo coffee bar
I was around the area for an appointment and asked them a coffee place recommendation, which led me here. The staff was friendly, prompt, and patient to my questions and was knowledgeable about what to recommend to me when I was indecisive about what to eat. I got a chai oatmilk and a slice of pumpkin bread. The chai was nicely spiced and the bread was dense and paired well with the coffee. There's a good amount of sitting area in the space, everybody was pretty quiet, and the volume of the music wasn't too loud even though I sat close to the speakers. The staff recommended the donuts since they're freshly made everyday and sell out fast but I wasn't craving sweets this morning. I'll get it it next time!
This is the spot in south Philly west of Broad for espresso drinks. Sunny corner. It'll make you smile.
Came in to Ultimo around 3 on a Sunday. It was vibing, but not too busy at all and the person at the register was easily and nicely moving the line along. I got an iced coffee with vanilla. The woman on the espresso bar made it too quickly after overhearing and forgot the vanilla, which was fine, but even after adding it in (and liquid sugar from the condiment bar) the coffee still wasn't very sweet at all. I kind of looked back through the reviews for this place and it seems their tastes are what has lost them some good ratings in the past. I'm going to have to agree that the (iced) coffee tasted was too bitter for my liking. My friend had an iced hibiscus tea and loved it for what it's worth. Her: "Refreshing and refreshing!" Me: "You already said 'refreshing.'" Her: "Yes!"
Cute and quaint spot for coffee and tea. We stopped here for a beverage break after a little tour of Philadelphia. The service was quick, and the drinks were good.
Cool place for coffee and beer fanatics! I'm happy this Ultimo location employs more friendly and accepting people. I've heard of bad things at their other location, so thank you to the employees for not being snobs :D This place also doubles as a beer market so check out their selections in the back. I ordered their latte, which comes out to an even $4 after taxes etc. One might think $4 is a lot for a latte, but they use a pretty big cup so I was happy. Wifi here is free and reliable. They post the wifi password at the counter/cashier area. They also offer outdoor seating when the weather is nice outside. One of the walls facing the street is like a garage door so when things get warm, they open up the place and it feels really nice/cool place to be. Parking is a beez here, but they do have 2 "loading" spots out on the front if one is just trying to grab coffee on the go!
Coffee, tea, cider, and wifi! This feels like your favorite neighborhood coffee spot. Chill music playing, friendly people, and great service. I'm not a huge coffee drinker but people I know who do like coffee enjoy what they offer. I love tea and cider, this place has a solid selection of both. Unlike other coffee spots, this place has a good amount of seating on the inside, and when the weather is nice you can relax outside as well. For this visit, I went with a dirty chai. It looked good and tasted even better. I'll be back again soon. :-)

Definitely one of my preferred Ultimo locations in the city. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but usually you're able to find one if you circle for 5-10 minutes max. My usual order is a pastry and a pour over here. Coffee came out fast, and I was also able to have a good window seat to do some morning reading with my morning coffee. My pour tasted delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Ambience-wise, it's a bit dark in the back, but nothing that's too out of the ordinary. Bathroom was frigid though, and I'm not sure why. Otherwise, this is a solid as your neighborhood coffee shop for some focus time or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up! read more
Friendly staff, never a line, delicious vanilla latte. Simple, straightforward menu without too much flare which is refreshing. Their brewed coffee is yummy but a little acidic - if you like that then this will be your jam! Good selection of pastries. read more

Of all the Ultimo locations, this one is the most unique. Good amount of space for working, wifi, of course coffee & tea options. They also have sandwiches available at the brew counter. This location also sell beer & ciders!! If it hadn't been too early in the day I would've taken advantage of that! Definitely adds to the "unique" factor for this place too. This time I went with the Guji pour over. Can't say it was my favorite, but satisfied my coffee curiosity for the day :) read more

It dawned on me recently: 1. I've become a coffee snob 2. It's just as easy living in the city to grab a bland cup of Joe I don't really enjoy from a standard chain as it is to great a very tasty cup of coffee, carefully made with a pour over or drip method from a small, mom & pop shop with charm and personality. Ok, maybe it's just a few bucks more, but I'll also enjoy that cup and the overall experience that much more and hey, I'm all about supporting local. And so, I've been checking out some local spots. Enter Ultimo. For some truly strange reason I've driven past here for 6 years and never stopped by. It always looked super intriguing and inviting. They have a few outdoor seats as well as an amazing garage door type window thing for and inside/out vibe. Very cool. They're open late and always have people just hanging out. Finally ventured in and dug the vibes. Laid back, and lots of different clientele. From hipsters to Italian men with espresso to people typing away on laptops to families, it's a spot for everyone. What I didn't expect to find and what I wish I had known sooner was that they serve alcohol! Say what?!!! Apparently they have a partnership with South Philly Tap Room down the block! They have 10 taps and bottle options, gems, standards and locals and, well, I think they are geniuses. So if you're ever hungover on a Sunday morning and want to get a caffeine buzz then start drinking again, this is your place! All kidding aside, come meet up with a friend for some chatting and chose your brew or, well, a brew. How awesome?! Oh, and they also sell growlers and IPA glasses. Drafts available in 3 sizes! They have some yummy looking pastries, biscotti, bagels and definitely drool worthy, big flaky croissants. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I think bringing the entire fam back to do so is coming up next. The coffee is pretty great and I eye up the Chemex and other pour over gadgets and accessories they sell each time o visit. Baristas have always been sweet. I'm a fan. read more
What I had: cappuccino Preparation: my coffee went down smooth and the latte art was beautiful. No sugar needed as the espresso here isn't sour like it is at some coffee shops. Atmosphere: nice and clean, plenty of seating. They have one uneven table which almost caused me to lose some of my beautiful cappuccino. read more

I really want to like this place, but I feel like the coffee should taste better. Two attempts getting an iced coffee, this time with oat milk (no sweetners). Coffee tastes extremely bitter. Oat milk separated immediately. Not sure what it is, but just not a fan. Which is a bummer because the West Passyunk location is very convenient. read more

Continuing my Yelp journey, I ate at Barcelona nearby and the staff recommended Ultimo Coffee Bar. Very glad I walked the few blocks to experience the atmosphere and coffee. The staff were friendly and helpful and the coffee, aromas, and atmosphere were amazing. read more
I have been to this establishment on and off for years ever since they opened! This place has a chill staff and the vibes are pretty chill as well. They have a nice selection of beer that you can sit in and enjoy or take out. I am not a coffee drinker, but when I do have a cup, I normally get their vanilla latte . It's so good and the latte art is pretty nice too . Their hot chocolate is a good choice too ! I haven't had their pastries, but some of my friends have. They really like the apple turnovers and the croissants. This is a nice spot to do work or to hangout with some friends read more
