It's so hard to find a great Chai but they have a great one. I'll travel just to get here.

Our go-to neighborhood coffee shop! Consistently delicious drinks at a better price than other options in the area (my favorite is the iced chai latte with oat milk). Plenty of seating options inside with charging outlets and outside where you can sit with your dog. Friendly staff. My only feedback is sometimes it can be pretty cold inside and the music can be turned down a bit but that doesn’t stop me from doing some work here or stopping by on an after-work walk a few days a week!

The coffee is wonderful, the baristas are great, and the ambience is lovely. The owner (?) (i think, tattooed white guy) is weird vibes. I witnessed him aggressively approach two college girls who were doing work and had brought in drinks from an outside establishment and were discussing what pastry they were about to order (he came up to them, unsolicited, and told them what they were doing was “fucked up” which felt aggressive as he did not inquire as to what their intentions were before confronting them). Another time he made me the wrong drink (which I paid nearly $7 for) and was just like “sorry! Is this drink okay instead?” Instead of offering to remake the drink i paid $7 for. Unfortunate because it’s a lovely coffee shop with wonderful baristas, but not a fan of the owner’s(?) vibe.

Very nice coffee shop. Seems like a great place to work, lots of seating and people on laptops. Drinks were yummy. We had a matcha latte with oat milk, an iced chai latte with skim milk, and a cheese croissant. There are no prices listed for pastries. The croissant was $3.25. Entrance is fully wheelchair accessible.

The best capuccino I've had. I tell everyone I know coming to Philly that shot tower has the best coffee and espresso drinks. Honestly it's the best coffee shop. Excellent product, excellent environment, and lovely interactions with the baristas.

This place is so good. The whole vibe created by the smells, architecture, decor, light and music is ethereal. One day I will return.

Always fresh pastries and really good coffee. Chai is made in house and they use the best quality matcha.

Super cute space with a wide tea selection. I love their chai lattes. It’s a solid choice and they have nice seating areas that feel airy and spacious.

I’m here almost daily during the academic year. The ladies who run the shop are always welcoming, professional, and efficient. I really enjoy making a stop here as part of my routine. Aside from the vibe, the coffee is great and the pastries are awesome too.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Philadelphia. The cocktail shaker for iced lattes is a great touch! Always makes it frothy and delicious.

Perfect coffee shop in a beautiful neighborhood. The vibe of the whole cafe really transports me to be in my productive state while working. The outside seating is also convenient as there is plenty of seats to choose from. The staff is super friendly! Highly recommend this place if you are looking to do productive work. The middle table is also awesome if you have a bigger group with you.

The coffee was 5 stars. The staff was 3 stars.. not rude, but definitely not friendly… so 4 stars is the outcome. But like I said- the coffee was great.
