Bower Cafe 1213

Obsessed. Such a cute coffee shop with a beautiful aesthetic that will make you feel like home. Everyone is so nice and the coffee is delicious. Breakfast sandwich was also so good!!! Highly recommend checking this spot out! You won’t be disappointed!

Food: unbelievable. Service: a little on the slow side. Vibes: good!! I tried their Brett sandwich, and it was delicious!! The smoked salmon combined beautifully with the pickles, aioli, and cheese on the multigrain:) There was a lot of seating, and the interior was modern and cozy. All in all, I would come here on a slower morning or to meet up with friends as I had to wait 10-15 minutes for my toasted sandwich.

I love this little cafe - we have eaten here a few times and they always have a great selection of fresh pastries as well as cool merchandise and large selection of fresh deli meat.

I though it was kind of strange to have a coffee shop and deli combo but Bower Cafe makes it work. This time I got avocado toast with bacon. It had too much avocado for liking and the bacon was not well-done but that's on me for not asking. I really enjoyed it despite not meeting my usual specifications.

The coffee drinks are great and I will be back soon to see what they have in store!

Wow! This breakfast sandwich is not basic at all - seasoning is perfect and the aïoli is delicious. The pretzel bun is soft and has a great ratio with the eggs and bacon. Super great quality because usually you get a basic sandwich and the price is expensive downtown but this makes sense.

Pistachio pastry was Yummo!!!!!

Can’t wait to come back to try more menu items 🙌🏽 great study/work spot too. Strong coffee and dope music vibes.

Favorite coffee shop in Philly. Great coffee every time and the atmosphere is very relaxing. They used to be on S10th which is why pictures all look different in the reviews. I really liked their old location because it had so much character but they did a great job customizing the new location to make it cool and cozy.

I haven’t been over to Bower nearly enough, but I’m going to change that.

The latte is reliably smooth, there are some great pastries and snacks on display, like that lovely donut I tried today. There is also an extensive menu that I haven’t tried, but really want to. And also - the meats and cheeses! So unusual and unique for a coffee shop.

The owner seems like a great guy, too. It’s the kind of place you want to support. It’s definitely gotten more popular over the last year, so let’s hope that continues.

Soft opening - but still a five star experience! Lovely, airy space with artistic touches, chill music, friendly service, and - most important - delicious coffee.

Cortados are my thing, but they have a full coffee menu.

Glad they’re in 1213 Walnut now. Stop in!

Excellent breakfast options for the price. I wonder how they’re making money on the food. They use La Colombe beans, so expect very nutty & chocolaty espresso.

Loved the feel inside - it is cozy and warm, perfect for a date or catch up with friends.

Good coffee, some foods available too. Plenty of tables even though the place is small.

The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful.

Loved the visit and would come again!

Excellent coffee, great place to work/study, absolutely terrible pastry.
It was quite a contrast between the quality of the coffee and the croissant.
