Exceptional service and response when needed assistance with online ordering. They offer a wonderful variety of beans, and beverages, and their food options are great too. Please visit this place!
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!
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.
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
We’re visiting from Texas and have stopped in here twice now for morning coffee and treats. Cute little place on an old, cobblestone street. The house coffee is excellent. Very smooth with little bitterness. Very friendly baristas who’ve graciously accommodated our varied requests. My daughter had the chai tea which was great as well. We’ve also sampled an array of their homemade baked goods, with a particular shout out to the butterscotch muffin!!!
The best latte in Old City!
Perfect oat latte and the vegan walnut banana muffin was pretty good too
Burnt coffee and bad service, will not be back.
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.
Awesome place. Good coffee. Nice people great prices. Bagel was awesome. Great place for breakfast.
Good coffee, friendly service. What else is needed in a neighborhood coffee shop?
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.
Fantastic coffee shop. Cappuccinos and blueberry muffins are my favorite to get here. Very relaxed atmosphere. Highly rrccomend.
I come here multiple times a week for coffee and the occasional pastry, which are good. What makes this place special, however, is the customer service. The staff here (as well as at the Reading Terminal location) is always really pleasant & kind, & for that reason I’ll keep coming back :).
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!
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
Best coffee in Philly!!! Love their cappuccino malted milkshake... strong flavor, way better than anything from Starbucks! At the Readding terminal location I usually get a Coffee Frappuccino with maple syrup. However this location didn't offer the frap option. The milkshake was just as delicious tho.
I live in Virginia and I am a coffee addict. This is my go to coffee roaster. Excellent beans and very prompt delivery.
One of the best coffee places in Philadelphia, roasted and sold in place. Expensive but worth it.
Super cozy and charming place in a small street! Staff was also super friendly and the coffee is great!
