Ultimo Coffee

This is my favorite coffee shop in Philly, and I'll come from several miles away to hang out here. The environment is fantastic for working in: music not too late, large windows, and good smell. Wifi works well. I'm not a coffee drinker, but everyone I've gone with enjoys the coffee. The tea is good.

If flavor of your coffee matters (and you enjoy a good light roast), this is the local cafe for you. Friendly service in a cute neighborhood spot. A little pricier than other coffee options, but you get what you pay for!

A cute quiet place for a break or dates , with good coffee or tea that workers will make right there font of you by your order . Nothing feels great than organic products. While time you need to finish your work, home work, meeting online... you can enjoy a good drink and snack over here . Better than big , busy, prices place else.

I consider it the best tasting coffee with surprisingly good merchandise. Seriously, the shirts and mugs they sell are super cool. Not 5 stars because it’s not the coziest of spots to do work or sit. If you need a good coffee I think it beats Ultimo by far. Unless you’re a Wawa person but then why are you reading this coffee review?

The ascetic of this location is gorgeous, with a very clean feel and lots of natural sunlight. A lovely place to sit and enjoy the morning.

My shot of Geisha Esmeralda was unfortunately pretty salty. I won't knock them too much for this (geisha's are notoriously hard to pull as espresso) but given this (and the price, $6) I was disappointed the barista didn't follow up afterward. Part of me really respects that they put the coffee on the menu, but it's a risky choice that isn't always going to pay off. Still, a lovely place and the other couple of times the pour overs have been delicious.

Ultimo consistently has the best cup of coffee in Philadelphia. And I saw this as someone who had tried most of the better shops. What distinguishes their brew from the pack is flavor - it's one of the only places I've ever been where different beans are actually distinct experiences of flavor and aroma. Outside of brewed coffee (espresso, tea, etc), they are still definitely top tier, but don't stand out in the same way from the myriad of other excellent shops out there.

Also worth noting: it is an excellent space. Tons of natural light, and manages to fit lots of people without seeming overcrowded. Could really use some more electrical outlets though, especially along the windows.

Awesome coffee, lemon bars, cool staff, and good community atmosphere!

Cool local spot where beer and coffee meet. Coffee is great there. But unlike starbucks their other drinks are lack luster. An iced soy chai just comes out of 2 boxes. And that's that. It's an amazing place to people watch and do work. It's an ideal local hang out in an "up and coming" neighborhood. It's like a little melting pot! Cute place for sure.

Meh. One of these new coffee-fad places that sells bitter pour over coffees as if it's a luxury item. I wish these wimpy coffee places would get over themselves, have at least one or two dark roast available with some real deep, strong flavor.
Of course if you're a hipster, and you've grown up thinking that this is what coffee is supposed to taste like, you'll love it. :-D
(Just kidding kids, everybody is entitled to like what they like)

I went to Ultimo because of the high reviews. Although the coffee is good and comparable to La Colombe and other hi quality coffee shops where you spend 4$ for a small latte, the customer service wasnt good. Some might think it is too much ask to much for extra hot and specify 175 degrees I dont when I am spe ding a lot of a special coffee. To totally disregard that request is not customer friendly. If I ask to have it extra hot it isnt saying g that you dont know how to make my latte it's just the way I like it.

not customer friendly.
