Cozy, rustic coffee shop in an urban environment. There is outdoor seating definitely enough room to sit and read/study. Walking in your are greeted with a soft tune of music. They have a variety of pastries including donuts from Dottie's donuts. Pastries also included muffins, cornbread, cookies, cinnamon rolls and more! Staff were friendly and lively interacting with customers. They have a large variety of coffee and tea drinks, hot and iced including house roasted coffee. I had the iced matcha with vanilla that was perfectly balanced. Looking forward to trying other drinks in the future. Would Recommend! read more

Door was slightly difficult to find, for anyone coming for the first time! We got a flat white and latte, both with oat milk and shared a slice of orange ricotta loaf. Everything was perfect, the milk based drinks were creamy and the loaf a little sweet but paired nicely. I especially liked the crust on it, it might have been soaked in something? You also get a cup of drip coffee after buying a bag of their beans, which was a little sour. Their beans were okay, didn't seem to have an any discerning notes but it wasn't bad. read more

Ultimo Coffee - Flat white with oat milk, orange ricotta loaf and latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Took a nice break and walked to Ultimo for some coffee. There were many people sitting, sipping on coffee, and typing away on laptops. My eye spotted a slice that read "orange ricotta". I had to grab a slice to go! So glad that I did! Absolutely delicious! read more

In the fall, had the most questionable pumpkin spice from here. It tasted like coconut??? There was nothing pumpkin spice about this drink at all Their oat milk cortado was solid tho. But I'm not sure I can ever get over the pumpkin spice mishap read more

My son Maddox says he loves the vibe and they make very good chia seed pudding! Ride his bike 10 blocks to get here and he said it was worth the trip. Will be coming back! read more

Ultimo Coffee - Maddox eating chia seed pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A great vibe for a coffee shop. Team working was friendly and quick. Lots of plugs for remote workers and options to sit and work. A little loud but to be expected at a coffee shop - just keep in mind of you have to take meetings when remoting into work. read more

Fantastic oat milk latte, raspberry oat bar was also delicious. Just very cold inside other than that it was a great place!

Coffee is ass and the hipster workers are pretentious as hell here. Asked for a sweet coffee and got black coffee and all they got is Splenda and oatmilk. Go literally anywhere else read more

Bad customer service Server said they are out of syrup. Mid day ? Suggested no alternatives read more

Very tasty iced coffees. They have this fruity coffee right now called summer punch. It's so delicious, I'm addicted.

Really good coffee and amazing pastries! I loved the zucchini bread and lemon poppy seed. Other friends raved about the raspberry and peanut butter gluten free pastry. Really cute neighborhood coffee shop. read more

Ultimo Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This coffee shop has a cute atmosphere with friendly service that is ideal for solo studying or work. The vanilla latte is one of the best lattes I've had in the city since living here for 6 years. The baked goods are nothing special, yet nothing to complain about. It can get cold, so bring layers. Headphones are also a must since the music can be on the louder side (ABBA was on repeat for two hours) and the coffee grinder was ungodly loud. Will certainly come again to study. read more

Ultimo Coffee - Último Coffee outdoor sitting - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cute little coffee shop with pastries. I got a vanilla iced latte, I enjoyed the coffee, it was sweet and strong. I only wish they gave me more ice and that there were straws. The croissant was good. I came around noon so they ran out of regular croissants, but one of the workers there recommended the croissant with different kind of spice in the middle. Croissant was fluffy and crispy, but I was not a big fan of the middle part. The spice were very strong and I wasn't really in the mood for strong spices. A big plus about this place is that they have seatings. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Good space to do some work or read a book while sipping your coffee. read more

Ultimo Coffee - Iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cute, clean, simplistic cafe. Their iced teas are incredible! I got a hibiscus berry tea with simple syrup. Subtly sweet and floral. They have several seating options inside and outside on the sprawling sidewalk. Perfect stop if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Lazy staff! During fall they offer pumpkin flavor. I got a chai and added pumpkin into in twice that week. I go back order the same thing and the SAME guy tells me that can't be done. I should have just stuck to Rival Bros read more

Their coffee is exceptional. I get my morning coffee here almost everyday for the last year. Their Imperial blend is perfect for my Moka pot. I can't wait for their German Apple cake this Fall. However, the down side is on their other cakes. I tried the Thai tea cake and Citrus cake and I have to say that they are SuperDry -- they should buy off the name of that clothes brand if they decide to continue baking these dry cakes. read more

Ultimo has great lattes, unique coffees and friendly service. They have free wifi and a restroom and its a good place to sit and do work for a bit. they have nice outdoor seating as well. For gf snacks, they have a gluten free chia seed pudding with blueberries and nut butter that is delicious; they usually also have a orange polenta cake that is gluten free and or a peanut butter cookie that is gf. read more

This place is the worst! They were rude and unfriendly! The floors were dirty and the cappuccino wasn't worth it at all!

Passed by this place accidentally as I was driving down to Passyunk and decided to check it out. Theres lots of free street parking as its in a residential area. What I love about this place is the giant open window that they pull up during the summer, so its an open concept. Additionally theres an outdoor seating area too. I came here on a weekend and there wasn't an issue getting a spot. Its also super interesting that they sell beer (in 6 packs) as well as draft beer. Besides the 3 tables in front of the window the rest of the tables in the back were too dim lit. read more

Ultimo Coffee - countertop seating as well - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

One of my top 5 favorite places to get coffee in Philadelphia. One complaint: they're always out of chocolate croissants! The coffee is strong and whatever milk they use for their drinks, it is delicious and addictive. read more

Good spot for getting work done in Philly. There is plenty of potential street parking nearby if you are willing to look around for a few minutes and potentially walk a half mile or so. Ultimo is not the most artsy coffee shop with solid white walls and white chairs to match. The coffee is decent however and the internet connection was stable over the two hours I lingered at Ultimo over a Monday afternoon. I would recommend Ultimo Coffee for what it is. read more

I don't get to drink coffee often, so I asked my partner where we could get the best latte. oh my gosh the vanilla oat latte was phenomena. they were super busy but handling orders so well. will definitely be back, I'd like to give the Mocha latte a try next. read more

My partner has come in here every day for a year, and he tips well. No one has bothered to remember his face, much less his order. If you want to be acknowledged as a human, go elsewhere. read more

In the time that I've lived down the block from ultimo, I can say confidently I've stopped in on a semi daily basis. It's not a cheap cup of coffee, however it is the best cup of coffee. The staff has proven to be stellar at providing a warm and uplifting experience ever single visit. They are knowledgeable, kind and make my daily stops in for coffee something to look forward to. Also the biscotti is insane. I used to strongly dislike biscotti. I love theirs! For two dollars it's a bit steep however is a good size and has been a perfect accompaniment to their coffee or mochas. And in a city that has many beautiful and independent coffee shops I would say Ultimo stands out amongst them all as the very best. read more

Ultimo Coffee - Dotties donuts!! This is the horchata flavor! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When you read the a definitive and absolutely DEAD ON best spots for coffee in Philly list like the one that Drew Lazor recently did for Philadelphia Magazine (http://www.phillymag.com/articles/best-coffee-philadelphia/) you find yourself anticipating the chance to try the very few spots that you haven't tried yet. ESPECIALLY when you read about your favorite coffee truck Rival Bros (http://www.yelp.com/biz/rival-bros-philadelphia?hrid=O1OSWyXpKdOjpkPmRT7Epw) FINALLY opening its own coffeeshop! Unfortunately when your excitement diverts you from reading the entire blurb you fail to read key details like it opening in the not too distant future, and end up walking to the location in a tiny snowstorm. D'oh! That's the exact situation that I set myself up for when I walked with a mission after the incredible sushi UYE at Aki. And rather then leave defeated I allowed my invigoration for caffeine to lead me to the nearest coffee destination on the list which was Ultimo. I'm far from a stranger to them since their Point Breeze location is one that I've wanted to give 10 STARS to for their tremendous combo of beers and coffee (http://www.yelp.com/biz/brew-ultimo-philadelphia?hrid=aGTIwXzRYodM0j662Oi6-A). And while their second location might not be as big, or feature beer on the menu; it did still earn plenty of reasons for me to give a solid 5 stars. The Counter Culture Coffee still flows from their impressive pour over filtered system, and they still offer an unheard of selection of varieties to choose from served from some very knowledgeable baristas. But they also offer a widespread selection of baked goods, as well as an impressive sandwich menu delivered from American Sardine Bar (Another winner - http://www.yelp.com/biz/american-sardine-bar-philadelphia?hrid=TG9mP-AEuNkuYH65703YZg). When I'm looking for a place to enjoy a coffee while killing time over free wi-fi, this is the type of place that I dream of! read more

I really like coming here since I feel like I'm supporting a local business! The drip coffee is great, but I hate ordering here since most of the baristas are judge-y that I don't know the difference between different coffees. Just get me a house blend and I'm thrilled. I also tried out the chai recently and I was overwhelmed by cloves. The only thing I could taste were cloves and I had to chuck the drink. It's very bright with all the windows and a nice place to study, but just know what you want to order before you get to the register. read more

First time visit Very friendly staff Tried vanilla coffee Outdoor/indoor tables Quiet Highly recommend read more

Ultimo is a bright, open coffee shop great for grabbing coffee or tea. Their product is very high quality and you won't be disappointed if you are a coffee snob or a coffee novice. The ambiance is super laid-back and welcoming and great for meeting up with a friend or getting work done. They do have sandwiches, pastries, and biscotti as well but I've only experienced their beverages. Ultimo has the friendliest baristas in Philly and they happen to be super awesome, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. Ultimo is by far one of my favorite coffee spots I've ever visited. The consistency and energy of this place can't be matched by any of it's rivals. read more

I love Ultimo Coffee! Such a great place to do work and enjoy a beautiful day while sitting outside the cafe. Best iced coffee I've ever had! read more

Great spot for quiet enjoyment, chatting, or studying. Really calm and peaceful decor, and outside seating to catch some fresh air as you enjoy some pastries and drinks (or ice cream!) Chai latte cannot be beat, it's the best one I've had. Subtly sweet, but spice enough that it hits the back of your throat and you can really taste strong, natural, chai flavor. Nothing artificial about it like a Starbucks or similar chai has. Iced coffee is also good! Drinks come in glasses/mug depending on temperature and no straws (unless you grab one from the sugar station). Bonus points for loving Mother Earth! read more

The only coffee spot like it in the immediate neighborhood. Went almost every morning of our Philly vaca. Really enjoyed my almond milk cafe au lait. Didn't love the iced tea because it had strong floral notes, but that might be my unsophisticated palate. The sugar donut and zucchini bread were delicious. The croissant and cranberry orange cake and tahini chocolate chip cookie were pretty good. Loved their COVID setup with the ordering window. Nice seating options right outside. Seems like they have many neighborhood regulars. I'd become one if I lived nearby! read more

There's apparently a reason why this place is named Ultimo. Quite simply, it's the best coffee place in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia has many great coffee places. Drip coffee at a reasonable price. And that loading zone out front works just great. read more

Great community coffee shop. Staff kind and efficient, place very clean with welcoming vibe. Would highly recommend

For all of you coffee lovers, this is your place! I'm caffeine intolerant but I like to have a caffeine free cup of tea or a cappuccino (occasionally). All the times that I've been here, I enjoyed the tranquility of this place. Love their cappuccino as it stands out for it's quality. Also, baristas are very friendly and helpful. Ultimo is a great place for people who like to spend some quiet time doing paperwork, studying or catching up with a friend while enjoying a great cup of whatever you like. It's a neighborhood gem. read more

LOVE this coffee. Although the staff doesn't abide by asking for "just one pump of vanilla." My boyfriend and I don't like our coffees super sweet and multiple times when we have asked for a small dash of mocha or vanilla, we see an inches worth at the bottom of our iced coffee. We have been getting more black coffees as of lately but nonetheless, we love the vibe and the staff is super sweet. We will be back. read more

Great little coffee shop in Graduate Hospital neighborhood. It's fairly quiet and room to work at tables inside. There are also some tables outside. There is some street parking out front if you can get a spot. The staff is very nice and they make your drink fairly quickly. The coffee is fantastic - especially all of the daily drip choices. Prices are on par with Philly coffee shops. They have a small selection of food choices which are also good (croissants, bagels, etc.) and local. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

One of my favorite coffee places in the area. The glass doors/windows give the feel of you sitting outside even when it's colder and an outdoor table isn't an option. The baristas are knowledgeable about the coffees they have available and are really friendly. The coffee is awesome. Hard to go wrong with anything you order here. They also have season specials to keep things interesting. Definitely a great spot in the Grad Hospital area. read more
