Ultimo Coffee

Honestly probably the best place to get a consistently delicious cup of drip coffee in the city. I find rival coffee shops here to be a bit too acidic and varying in quality/taste, while Ultimo is always smooth and consistent in quality. If I’m nearby, I go out of my way to stop here.

Pour over was just right and rich in flavor. The lemon bar went perfectly with the coffee, service was tip top of the top notch.

Reliably delicious espresso and coffee in general. Good amount of outdoor seating and the staff is pretty friendly too. Pastries are good and if I want a quick pick me up, this is where you’ll most likely find me.

Edit: they're pricing their case now, +1 star!

Good coffee, wonderfully efficient & polite service, excellent sweet stuff. Ultimo gets their pastries from Dottie's Donuts several days a week, which almost always sell out, but there are also a few sleepers hidden in the non-Dottie's fare, such as the zucchini bread and apricot bars.

My two major criticisms are the lack of signage on some of the products in their pastry case, making it difficult to judge what some things are / how much they cost, and that there are not enough plus-sized options for the drip coffee. As a result, I'll still get the cheaper 16oz cup from the nearby Wawa if I'm not craving a Dottie's, and don't feel like I'm truly missing anything when I do. 3 stars.

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.

Every detail was wonderful. My first time in Philly was met with friendly faces around every corner and this place made the start of my last day great- it was the first time I had a heart in my foam ☺️

They make a great cappuccino here. Outdoor seating is fantastic. Don't trust reviewers who tell you a place needs more dark roast coffees. A good roaster doesn't burn their coffee. These guys are serving well-roasted coffees. Kudos.

Went here as we were staying in a AirBnB and wanted to grab some coffee. The coffee was good, definitely strong if that's what you're looking for and the environment was nice, however the staff could use some training on how to talk and greet people.

Coffee is good, but I can’t bring my dog inside so you lost two stars, but overall super nice coffee shop and the vibes are good unless you have a doggo then the vibes aren’t fun.

I ordered a vanilla latte, that was EXQUISITE! It was smooth and velvety, perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness. The atmosphere here is quiet and relaxing; although there was a steady stream of clientele, the pace was never harried or unwelcoming. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, welcoming and made me feel very welcome. Goodbye Starbucks, HELLO ULTIMO!
