Amazing place! Great coffee, great baristas which are incredibly friendly - this is my new go to Philly coffee shop! A lot of people work from here and it’s great for coworking.

Wow !.small place biggg attitude. the woman with an accent working there has the biggest attitude one can ever imagine! Minimalistic? Are you kidding? Minimal customer service and maximum attitude is what this place is! Don’t ruin your mood! It is toxic! Stay away!

Love this neighborhood coffee shop. Chris (owner) as well as all the baristas, are friendly and professional. The atmosphere is quiet and has a clean Scandinavian vibe. My cappuccino’s are consistently excellent. Added awesomeness, this is a black-owned business.

I drove by here and decided to pop in when I had time. And I’m very glad I did. The baristas were so polite, welcoming, and gave great conversation while making my drink. The iced vanilla latte was delish! I cannot wait to be back.

I drove all the way from the suburbs for this?! Met with a friend the barista was rude and dropped my change in my hand, then put my coffee on the counter and didn’t say a word. After 5 minutes I glanced over and asked if the cappuccino was mine and she nodded. Very rude and I wouldn’t recommend.

Full disclosure- I live around the block, but this is one of my all time favorite coffee shops. While they have several tables, you will be lucky if one is open. Their flavored syrups are made in house and truly are special. The vanilla latte is my all time favorite latte- you can even see flecks of vanilla beans they use to make the syrup.

Some of the best coffee I've had in a while. I wish I lived/worked closer so I could get this every day before work because this latte really made my day. I ordered the vanilla bean add on and it wasn't just a flavored syrup, it had real vanilla. Staff was friendly, the shop was clean and modern looking with relaxing music playing. The croissant I had was fresh tasting and well made. A really lovely experience all around. Honestly, no complaints.

Really good coffee. Nice, calming, well-lit decor. Not crazy about all the laptop-crazy folks that always overtake the place but not sure what could be done about this.

Really cute and clean coffeeshop. The coffee is a bit on the pricey side, but it is a great place to study.

Partner needed a fix after our train ride and ended up here. Aesthetically pleasing. Warming and inviting. Good coffee. But the plague of people all on laptop at 90% of the tables all practically on Zoom calls is a real turn off. May come again for the coffee but not stay for this atmosphere.
