Old City Coffee, Inc.

This location has been one of my regular stops for more than 10 years. If your looking for fresh, locally roasted coffee this is it. This location is situated on one of Philly's oldest cobblestone streets. The store itself is pretty tight to get in and out of. The iced coffee is definitely the strongest in the area.

I have appreciated Old City Coffee for a long time. It was the first coffee shop that I ever went to in the city (2018, before I moved to PHI). But back then, they had seating!

I really miss having a place to sit inside the shop. Now, I snag one of the areas outside (no chairs/tables) to sit and have my usual croissant and espresso. I love the vibe of the area outside the shop (Church St). Great for writing and thinking. But please, bring back seating!

Original little coffee with his own ambiance in this area surrounded by history’s and beautiful houses. A good stop to taste one of the many coffee flavours and feel good with a fresh and different coffee experience.

Definitely my favorite Café in Old City and all of Philadelphia. It's a small Café that serves all your senses. Old City Coffee is a coffee store selling some wonderful coffee bean variants, filters and other equipment. They also run as a Café with lots of coffee options and fresh bakes. You can also use the self service kiosk for coffee of the day to get you a togo cuppa. Check out their decor of old coffee brand labels. Even stepping into this Café takes you over with the aroma of coffee.

Im in love with this place. People that work here are very nice and sweet. Coffee is really good and their pastries are beyond delicious. Their homemade muffins are my fav.

Pros:
- tasty coffee
- historical neighborhood

Cons:
- many visitors and very limited seating
- strange proportions in yogurt parfait ( lots of granola, very little yogurt, hence very dry)
- no synchronization between self-order stand and order at counter ( several items ordered and paid for online were not available when picking up order at counter, and although alternatives were offered, it was a bit unpleasant that the last croissants were taken by someone who ordered them at the counter AFTER I ordered a croissant in the cafe-based online system).
- higher prices than in other similar venues of the city

This place is mentioned in so many guides but I really don’t understand why. The coffee is really bad, it’s burnt, bitter, they have 4 sizes and medium size looks like extra large one which means it’s not a coffee anymore. Tiny, boring interior. The only nice thing about this place is the street where it’s located

A weekly pilgrimage to this wonderful place. I love coming here and seeing the warm and kind familiar faces. Everyone takes a moment to get to know you and to know your usual order.

The coffee quality is superb! The sizes are generous and the prices are very fair. They carry a very wide selection of coffee beans and teas.

The chai lattes, matchas, and herbal teas are unbeatable! While there is a location in Reading Terminal Market, which is quite nice, the Old City on Church Street is MAIN DEAL😎❤️☕️

Thank you for always being so awesome and so very kind!

What a beautiful hidden gem nestled in the heart of the old city. Great drip coffee, and I really appreciate how they put all the milks and sweeteners out so you can craft your coffee to your liking. The staff was very friendly, and the granola and yogurt was a nice snack.

A nice little cafe located conveniently and is super busy with locals and tourists, even in the early morning hours. Good coffee and they’ve a lot of blends. Easy grab breakfast available with seating options. Appreciate the good service and cheerful staff.
