Gryphon Cafe

I might very well have had the best tasting drip coffee here in my life.

Fantastic coffee and a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I did not get anything to eat.

I had been to the Wayne location many, many times and loved it. Great staff, atmosphere, food, etc. I never had any complaints.

I was beyond stunned when a young teenage girl was rude at the West Chester location. It was a few minutes before closing time on Saturday, 8/7/21. I was not even inside the place. I was way outside the door. All that I said to someone was ‘I love this place’. A tall teenage girl with wavy dark brown hair walks up to us and rudely, very rudely says ‘we’re closed. We closed at 6.’ Then shuts the door in our face.

I was very upset. For years I loved this place and spoke highly of it. No one at the Wayne location ever dreamed of slamming a door in the face of someone who was walking by, let alone complementing the place.

I had met the owner many times from going to the Wayne place. He would be very embarrassed to hear that this is how an employee of his treated a customer.

This girl needs to grow up and learn how to respect other people. She clearly isn’t mature enough to be working at a local coffee shop with a high reputation. I hope she stops acting so entitled and learns to respect customers walking by the store. Someone who knew better, like people working at the Wayne location, would have either let us get something to go, or would have at least apologized. If this was my first impression, I would not be going back, and I would be telling others not to go back. Maybe this teenage girl doesn’t care, but I feel bad for the owner that this girl acted this way after he worked had and built such a good reputation for his local coffee shop.

Hot chocolate and coffee were good and hot, but we've definitely had richer and more flavorful beverages. The pastries were very good and the staff was extremely friendly. They greeted us, explained options, and were timely in getting our order in ... but we did have quite a wait to get some drinks and an even longer wait for the toasted bagels. It's a cute little place with a fun and relaxed environment. Its probably worth another visit.

Great vegan brownie and my Red Eye coffee order was on point. Also the recommended granola bar 🔥

such great coffee, and I love that they do latte art.

My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time today, and our only regret is not coming here sooner! Hands down the best coffee we’ve had in the area. We tried a black coffee and an iced chai, and both were amazing. We also ordered egg sandwiches which were delicious and made-to-order with super fresh ingredients and the best gluten free bread we’ve had. The sandwiches were so good that my boyfriend ended up ordering an additional sandwich to go. We look forward to going back next weekend!

Good espresso, and one of the better chai lattes I’ve had. Get it with oat milk!

Really delicious coffee and sandwiches. My latte was very well made and had a great depth of flavor. Their egg sandwich was to die for as well.

Gryphon is such a wonderful cafe and a gem, as there’s not many specialty coffee shops at this level in the area. Their food options are a nice addition to the coffee, as well the staff, who is always a pleasure to engage with. Their drip coffee is most consistent for its quality and it always enjoyable to drink (it’s nice that they don’t just a super light roast for drip!) their espresso drinks are great as well, and can vary sometimes with consistency. They have the usual cafe drinks and they also some surprises like the Mazagan (lemonade and espresso!). They make their own mocha mix and it is hands down the best- not too sweet and super rich! 🙌🏼💕
