9th Street Coffee & More

Their coffee was great…until they closed :(

A must try for any coffee and or tea lover!

First off, know that this is not the place to sit, relax and enjoy your cup. That said, I'll definitely be back time and again to refill my personal stock of coffee and tea for the house.

A large variety of ethically sourced coffee & tea from all over the world, plus some local Philly options! They know and care enough to ask how you make your coffee before grinding your beans so you get the best extraction. Their tea smells and tastes fantastic as well! 5 stars says it all.

This is the only place we get our beans from. It's a bit pricey but so worth it, and it's always a treat going back and asking the owners for various recommendations. Especially love the wet roasted Italian blend for espressos.

The male owner is a delight to talk to and one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met when it comes to coffee. Friendly guy who's passionate about what he does.

Jake is the most kind, generous and infectious coffee enthusiast I’ve ever met. I don’t know much about coffee, but Jake took 20 minutes to tell me about the intricacies of the plant and his diverse coffee bean sources…. I was captivated the entire time. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Must visit if you’re anywhere near the Italian Market.

Wandered it before we left town on Sunday. Exceptionally pleasant and friendly. Wonderful coffee and cool selection of different spices and olive oils.

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET REAL COFFEE!!!! I have never seen all the best coffee beans in the world in one place. The staff is great and knowledgeable everything is certified organic, sustainable sourced and they are eager to make sure you get what you want. I have shopped many different coffee shops both in the city and online and never before have I had such a great experience. 9th Street Coffee is my only coffee shop. I plan on trying EVERYTHING.

I love the variety of locally-roasted coffee beans here, especially available in (Swiss water process) decaf. Super friendly and knowledgeable service. I'm so grateful this place is in my neighborhood!

Fantastic establishment. I happened across their shop a few weeks back while visiting the Italian Market and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They suggested the Maple and now I purchase direct from them online. I would highly recommend 9th Street Coffee. Pricing is fair, customer service is great and quality of their products is second to none. Glad that I found this little shop in Philly.

You can find exotic coffees, exquisite flavors and from different countries of the world. Also tea, olive oils and spices. Its owners are friendly people and they always explain everything about their products they know a lot about coffee. I love the place. I highly recommend it!!!

We are huge coffee snobs and happened to walk into this place by coincidence. Not only we were surprised by the variety of coffee but also by the knowledge of their people.
You can certainly buy some of the best coffee beans in the world from this place. Moreover, they are roasters and roast no more than 1 pound of coffee at a time. Which is great, since coffee stays fresh.
No one should keep roasted coffee for over 1 week, and they are the only roasters that actually follow this rule. They offer custom roasts as well as their standard selections.
You can also have a cup of coffee right there (which is strongly recommended), however you will not find an espresso machine - since all they offer is a good pour over coffee.
I've purchases Ethiopia Geisha ($40 per a little less than a pound), which was more than I would want to spend on a coffee. But few years ago, this coffee was around $300 per pound - so $40 was nothing in comparison.
Be careful, since their packaging is not vacuum sealed, and once you get home - you absolutely must move the beans to the sealed storage.
I ran this coffee through my espresso machine and was very impressed by a sophisticated and complex flavor. I usually use Ethiopia Yirgachefe and I had a chance to compare the two cup to cup. Yirgachefe is always acidic and has a blueberry aftertaste. Whereas Geisha just hits you with extremely rich, almost bloody flowery taste, that changes as you are swallowing the coffee. I would strongly recommend to try it yourself at least once.
I am definitely getting my next coffee from these guys!
