Convenient and lovely location. Ordered an everything bagel with egg and cheese it fed both of us. The staff is superb. My vanilla latte was also made exactly the way I like it Worth a visit. read more

Average food nothing too crazy. I do love the area and the seating where the doors are open so I was able to go with some friends and sit. I would say definitely overpriced, got a 11$ smoothie it was very good but I've had similar for less price. I would come here again for a quick bite read more

Capriccio Cafe and Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

love this quick spot! Big pre made breakfast sandwiches are really good, smoothies and coffee! Outside and indoor seating

If your coming here for the patio section that offers a very europe like feel, the music, and the people, then come here. If your coming for the food I would say pass. If your coming here for a cup of coffee in the morning, it gets the job done but isn't super memorable (aside from the staff because they are awesome). For those with diabetes, they offer sugar free syrups for your coffee! This place wasn't bad but it wasn't good either so I dont know if I would recommend. read more

Stopped by here during a random walk through the city for some muffins. They were yummy, service was quick and staff was nice. We didn't stay long but did notice they have great hours and noted that we needed to come back! There's a great outdoor space as well. read more

Capriccio Cafe and Bar - Outside seating - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I was introduced to Capriccio Cafe and Bar by my hotel, the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown which had it listed as a recommendation amongst several other cafes in the surrounding area. After an additional endorsement by one of the hotel receptionists, I chose and made my way to Capriccio Cafe and Bar which sat right down the street, literally no more than 0.2 miles in distance from the Sheraton. I was acknowledged shortly after I walked in and up to the counter to look at the menu. It always takes me some time to look through the menu, especially when I am unfamiliar with the restaurant. I ended up ordering an egg and cheese on a cinnamon bagel, with an orange juice which was the only thing out of both the breakfast and lunch menu that captured my interest. I chose to dine in at the restaurant since I had plenty of time to spare before the projected check out time at the hotel. An ideal spot for brunch, the restaurant appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a nice calm vibe. And there are a number of tables and seats available whether it be inside of the dining area, or outside in its patio, which I must say adds a nice touch. Now as for my food, the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon bagel was beautifully presented! And my oh my, it was far from plain looking; it was indeed just as delicious as it appeared, * chef's kiss *. Being that I had a good experience, I would gladly re-visit Capriccio Cafe and Bar again when staying at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown or at a nearby hotel. And as the receptionist gave her endorsement of this restaurant to me, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all. ~ Be obsessively grateful. ~ Thomas G read more

Everything about this place was fantastic. The food; drinks and service were impeccable. Lonnie was so helpful with helping me pick out what food and drink to buy. It paired perfectly with what i was eating. I got a Matcha lemonade with lavander and a roasted turkey sandwich. They were alone on bar and i watched them handle a crowd of people with ease- Genuinely had them in and out within minutes. impressive service, clean floors and tables, the door was open but there was a heater already on in a corner where i could be if i got too chilly. Really accessible as a cane user- lonnie was even nice enough to bring me my food while i sat. Lonnie made the visit worth it! read more

Nice spot to pick up a quick breakfast sandwich in a plaza. The sandwich was fine and at a decent price, and I liked that it was freshly prepared. But with only one employee, it took a while per customer which I can see being a problem if it's busier. There's some seating if you need to eat in. The muffins were very flat, so I passed on that. For a grab and go kind of breakfast/lunch need, it was a decent version of that. read more

The location is very charming but the quality of the coffee and food was poor. My son had a yogurt with granola and he was eating very slowly, when I tried it, it was expired and it ended up making him sick so that he threw up the rest of the day. My coffee was incorrectly made and extremely strong. I would not recommend anyone risk it by dining here. read more

I really enjoy this little spot!! The patio is so cute, and the location is so convenient. The staff are so kind and welcoming. The mixed drinks are yummy, but they're definitely not strong. I also enjoyed their ham and cheese croissant. read more

Very chill area and the food is nice and war. Personally the chai tea latte is really good and the service is amazing. highly recommended

My understanding is this place is under new management. A huge improvement! Great food and service in a warm atmosphere.

I have been going to this cafe and bar almost everyday and I have been more than satisfied on every visit! The food is good, coffee is great, and the vibes are amazing!! Service is always impeccable. I will continue to come here when I can!! read more

It was ok. Prices are great. Great location. Sandwiches just ok. We only tried breakfast items. Bread was good but egg and cheese (cohort had sausage egg and cheese) were forgettable. Coffee however was great read more

Here for marathon weekend... Elijah was awesome! Great service... kind & friendly...warm tea & coffee, shelter from the rain. Perfect location to be near runners as the run mile one read more

Do not go here for coffee. Somehow it is worse coffee than any of the major chains, which was really disappointing because the bar and the outside patio is so cute, and the customer service is great and very rapid. But at specialty coffee prices (8$ for my drink) I expect my coffee to be good (or at least not worse than Starbucks) and this was probably the worst coffee I've had in years. Did not have the food, check other reviews for that. From what was in the windows, it looks mostly like it's premade wrapped stuff that you can get from anywhere. But they may have better options? I don't know and I'm not going back to see. EDIT: I got a notification from the restaurant asking what drink I got and when I visited but I cannot see how to respond -- it was their mocha frappe. same price as a starbucks frappe, but def a splurge. My visit was on the day of this review. read more

Shout out to Elijah. Best service (Expresso Martini) and atmosphere in downtown Philly.

Great environment and staff... very friendly as we are from out of town and they guided us to things to do... I highly recommend this place

Visit for Espresso and latte along with breakfast sandwiches, all delish! But the service was amazing! Manager even came around asking if we needed anything else! Highly recommend read more

Strong drinks, good music and great service from Elijah, the manager. Very chill spot for locals or tourists to visit while at city hall

Capriccio's look so cute on the outside that I had to make an impromptu stop inside when my family was doing a walking tour of Philly, There's cute outdoor seating that looks like a great place to enjoy a drink and soak in the city. I got an iced coffee to-go that was just what I needed to fuel the rest of my tour. read more

Returned today after a very long time. Welcoming new team. Elijah was friendly, personable, attentive, and clearly loves his job. Much much improved. Definitely visit! read more

A friend and I have been going to this café 2 to 3 times a week for the last two months. The coffee is always terrific. The atmosphere is great, however, the service has always been less than friendly. Went today, what a pleasant surprise. Evidently, there was some change in management and the new manager, his name is Elijah, was terrific. He was engaging, friendly. He even suggested different menu items, something never done in the past. My friend and I debated on which café to go to today for coffee. They'll be no debate tomorrow. Capriccios! read more

I am around the corner at a convention and I just wanted to buy something affordable to eat. I was worried this place would cost of fortune but I got a delicious chicken sandwich for like $11, and also the bartender was incredibly cool and friendly. I would literally go on my way to come back here for lunch. read more

So, my feelings on this place are kinda mixed. The pros are that it has a great location along the Parkway. It's convenient for a quick lunch break or to go snack. The food is about average. The ice cream is Bassett's and so good in the summertime. In recent years, they have added a bar/liquor and are great for after work happy hours, especially in the summertime in the outdoor seating area. The negatives I would say are that the pricing is a bit high for average items. My #1 con, however, is the service. It seems like they hire from a service or something and the staff (outside of a man who I think is the owner) seems disinterested and not always friendly. There is one woman who is there often and she always seems grumpy and acts like she is doing one a favor. I've seen her talk over clients at the counter to the customer behind them to ask what they want. It is very disappointing for such an ideal place in a convenient location. Worth a try if you can tolerate disinterested semi rude service. read more

Cool spot for a morning coffee and muffin. Muffin selection and availability varies by the day but there's a wide selection of other pastry options. In my humble opinion, the cold and hot drinks are overpriced! read more

Capriccio Cafe and Bar - Muffin selection - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My parents and I came to this area for a vacation. The place that served breakfast at our hotel was just far too much. This place was a short walk away and has a nice selection to choose from. The coffee is good and the area was nice! I loved the outdoor seating! read more

If I have a choice, I'd give this place a -10 star. The lady who took our order were discourteous, nasty, and abrupt. She would not look at us, turned her back on her while taking over orders. The location is in a good location, that's all it had. Don't ever go here if you can help it. I'm not sure if this is an private owned and she is the owner but she had push the level of rudeness to the max. If she is not the owner, and the owner is reading this, either provide more customer service training to your employee or determine whether this woman is fit to run this cafe or not. I don't recommend it this place to anyone! read more

Capriccio Cafe and Bar - Beware of this unpleasant worker - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The line was piling up, as one guy (who just started working here) worked really hard to meet our needs; he was very polite and apologetic. His co-worker, however, just seemed to do whatever he could to avoid working. He was just wandering around in the back or coming up front just to make sure his phone was plugged in. When no one was in line and the place was empty, that's when he offered for the first guy to take his break. Lame. The food is expensive. A very small cheese and ham croissant for close to 8$. read more

The food is great café style fare. The chicken salad sandwich was deeeelish. The coffee was great. As a non-dairy person, I also appreciated that they have oat milk (as well as almond and soy). The atmosphere and location cannot be beat! Came on a cold day in March when the doors were still closed but it looks like the entire place is open to the outside in the summer. Have to come back for that! Lastly, the lady who took our order and prepared the food and coffee was supper friendly and quick. 5 stars for great experience on every level read more

The sandwiches seemed like they are a week old and terrible would not recommend. The staff was the best part of my experience

I was starving and took a quick break from work. This place was across the street so why not. Maybe it was an off day but the service was kind of brusque. It wasn't particularly busy or anything but I felt very hurried...and definitely wasn't service wth a smile. I ended up getting a grilled cheese (which I really enjoyed and it filled me right up) and a medium mocha. I had never been there before and like I said, maybe was an off day but there was a lot of confusion with the drinks. No labels at all we're done (no names of customer or product) so it's no wonder I ended up getting someone else's drink. Definitely not efficient, what would it have been like if there was actually a crowd instead of just 3 people? read more

Went here to get some work done outside! I was greeting by the friendly cashier who by all means should been exhausted after coming from her overnight job. I ended up getting a Tropical Mango smoothie - but there were a bunch of options ranging from sandwiches, pastries, ice cream, etc. I had a great experience and will definitely be going back! read more

We came here after completing the Love Run, Half Marathon and I was pretty impressed by their selections. A few tables inside so you can sit and enjoy. My partner had the Chai Latte (Spiced) which was good and I had the Chai Latte (Vanilla) which was amazing. They also had options of regular hot chocolate and white hot chocolate. They have a bar area as well. Small, cute, and great selections. I would stop here over like Starbucks or Dunkin if in the area. read more

This is a neat coffee shop nestled in a small park off Logan square. They have all the usual coffee drinks from a drip flavoured and regular coffee to espressos, lattes and desert coffees. They also have a full complement of breakfast items pastries, bagels, muffins and oatmeal. They also do a egg bacon and cheese bagel. Their lunch items are sandwiches. These can be followed with ice cream or ice cream drinks. It was a nice stop along the way. On the way to the restroom I discovered a fully stocked bar with beer wine and liquor. I could have used a shot of kalua in my coffee. Oh well next time. read more

Rude and inattentive staff, worst latte I've ever had in my life. The only saving grace is good atmosphere, but not enough to ever go back. I imagine the only way they stay in business is due to location/ambiance. Would not recommend. read more

I missed Capriccio when it moved away from the spot that is now Coffee Bar. But when it was in that spot it felt a little out of place next to the swank hotel and steak house. But now it's location by Love Park gives it a chance to come into it's own in an area that REALLY needed a non-fourbucks coffeehouse. Chrissy is right about it being ashame that it opened in the fall. Because with it's ample outdoor seating, ability to open up practically all of it's windowed interior, and the fact that it's right across the way from Love Park, Cafe Cret is very much a Spring/Summer coffeehouse that hasn't had the chance to savor those seasons yet. But it is built with a unique architecture (It's named for the person who designed the Rodin Museum and other structures so it had to be). It's also a lot more roomier than the previous Capriccios. The food and service is pretty much the same which is very good. I was munching on a smoked turkey sandwich and sipping on a caramel apple cider while listening to some 80's music from within. And needless to say that generally makes for a good situation any day of the week. So while it might not be the best season for it Cret definitely shines. read more
