Great coffee and quick service. Caramel black salt Latte: (5/5 )! The espresso is rich and the caramel flavor is definitely there. If you don't like a sweet coffee i'd stray away from this. Definitely raised my blood sugar a bit with this one! read more

Cute spot, industrial like a lot of places in this neighborhood. They were really nice when I walked up. I got a lavender iced latte. My latte was made super quickly. It is pretty tasty too. They were all out of pastries and only had a few pre-packaged treats. So I only got coffee, and the blue bendy straw was fun. read more

I ordered the Caramel Black Salt Latte for $6. The cafe has a relaxing ambiance, making it a great spot for studying or working--and most importantly, the coffee is great. It's close to my apartment, the background music isn't too loud, and the overall noise level is low, so it doesn't feel busy or bustling. The coffee is also reasonably priced for the portion size and quality. Staff is kind and service is pretty quick. read more

I wanted to like this place because of the high ratings, and the recommendations of the locals. It was cute and quaint, located on a corner and not too crowded. It seemed like most of the customers were locals, and it made a difference with the baristas. We didn't get greeted and the cashier and barista were standoffish. My drinks were not great, but were tolerable. read more

I was visiting from LA and stopped by here on a Wednesday morning a little after 7am. The employees were very nice and welcoming considering how early it was. I opted for an iced latte with the ube and early Grey cold foam and it was magical. The cold foam was not too sweet and had a great creamy texture. The pumpkin spice latte as also very good and surprisingly not too sweet. There was plenty of seating and great options for coffee. read more

Reliable cafe to get work done and get caffeine. I personally enjoy the Carmel black salt w oat milk. Usually a well balanced drink with some sweetness, hints of salt, and strong espresso flavor. Can have lots of traffic in the cafe but a great spot to study during weekdays or early mornings! read more

I was looking for a coffee shop that opened a bit earlier than my normal go-to. This location was about 12 min walk and on a breezy summer morning, this was doable. As I entered, shortly after they opened, there was only one customer and there were plenty of seatings. I got a large coffee and a croissant. They were both pretty decent. Would I return? Probably, and maybe try the strawberry latte everyone is writing about. The a/c is very jacked up so a cup of coffee was perfect. I did wish windows were a bit cleaner, I saw a dead bug right by the window where I was sitting. read more

Food/Drinks: the caramel black salt latte was on the bitter side: I didn't taste much of the caramel or salt. Gave that to my brother to drink. The strawberry oat milk matcha latte was the best strawberry matcha latte I've had. Strangely enough, it tasted like cereal milk after mixing it thoroughly. I had a bite of a powdered cream donut/pastry. It was super soft and the pastry cream was delightful. Not too heavy. Service: took 10 mins of so. It was busy for a Thursday evening. The price was to be expected in the city. $6+ per drink. It beats your franchise coffee chains though. Ambiance: your typical cute coffee shop. Aesthetically pleasing despite it being full of people. It was bustling. read more

I stopped by Elixir Coffee because soo many people recommended this cafe for the matcha and I'm so glad I did. I got their strawberry matcha and it was delicious--perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The vibe of the café is calm and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating (even out door seating too!) I also appreciated that they offer free WiFi, which made it easy to get some work done without any issues. My only small drawback is that there weren't many food options, but the drink I had was excellent. Definitely a great spot if you're looking to enjoy a quality drink and a productive atmosphere. I'll absolutely be back real soon. read more

Was in the area helping a friend and stopped by for an afternoon pick me up, the location is actually quite big with a good amount of tables inside and parking spaces nearby. Other than that it's a pretty standard looking coffee shop. I was impressed however by the variety in drinks and food options on the menu - lots of specialty drinks I hadn't seen or tried before. I decided to try the lavender matcha and a pistachio donut. I haven't had lavender matcha before but I know lots of people love it - it definitely was not for me. It tasted extremely soapy and not very refreshing. The pistachio donut I had never seen before and was excited to try it, although it did not have much of a pistachio flavor if I'm being entirely honest. It tasted like a glazed donut with a tad bit of pistachios on top. Since Elixr has been on my list for trying for quite some time I would like to go back for a coffee and see if I like that a little bit better. My friends who live in the area of this one seem to love it though. read more

Was good, had a nice selection of baked goods + donuts. About 11 bucks for latte and a treat. Not too many places to sit, and was pretty busy and long line for a Saturday morning. Matcha was tasty, people were chilling. Not a huge space, in the bottom of an apartment building. If you live close, would recommend. But if not, journey other places, or their other locations. read more

Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall great cafe for work and coffee. Noise level - 70db busy cafe Wifi speed - 119 down 17 up (good for work you can download but not meetings due to low upload speed) Power plugs - about 16 (scattered against the walls around the cafe) Seats - 30 indoors Parking - unsure. Did not drive. The service was great the barista was friendly. My ice latte came within minutes and it was delicious on a hot afternoon. And if you buy a bag of beans, you can a cup of joe for free! read more

Went to Philly over Memorial Day weekend for a mini getaway and decided to try this for our ride back home. It was really good! I had the strawberry oat matcha and my husband had lavender latte. My matcha was just right, not overly sweet with enough matcha flavor. The lavender latte wasn't overpowering as well, it was just right. So glad we got to try this! Probably will again if we visit Philly again! read more

Pretty standard coffee shop that I found on my recent trip to Philly. It was within walking distance from my hotel. I got there around 10am and the pastry selection was already slim, so I'm not sure if that's a normal thing. I ordered an almond croissant and cold brew. Coffee was good, and croissant was just okay. Spacious coffee shop and there were several people reading and getting work done. Worth visiting again. read more

Elixr is a pricier coffee spot but if you want to treat yourself/you're into the specialty stuff than I do recommend it! They have rotating specials that aren't overly sweet but are definitely creative and better than I could make it at home. The almond croissant I got was good too, just wish they could've warmed it up (they don't have a little oven). The quality is great, the staff is friendly, and both their locations in the city have a bathroom AND a decent amount of seating which is a blessing. I appreciate the windows in their 12th St location, it's a lot brighter than the one on Sansom. They also have a good amount of outlets. I will say just be prepared to hover like a vulture for table if you're hoping to get some work done on the weekend. Also, and I figure it's because they don't want people using them, their straws are truly ridiculous. read more

Overall, it was a decent experience at Elixr. The cafe is clean and comfortable. Our drinks were mostly very good. The matcha was tasty. I had a very underwhelming almond milk latte. It was very watery and, unfortunately, unremarkable. The highlights were the butterfly lemonade and black salt caramel latte. Those two were very good. I recommend either of those for your visit. The staff were friendly enough and welcoming. Good spot! read more

Normally I like to experience a variety of local coffee shops when visiting a city. Elixir ruined that for me. My experience (and drink) were so good that I haven't even bothered checking out other coffee shops. The first time I visited Elixir, I picked up a bag of beans and noticed they had something called a Strawberry and Beetroot Oat Milk Latte. I'm normally not a latte guy (give me the taste of coffee or give me death) but if a place is doing intriguing work with their lattes, well, I'm a sucker for that. I got the latte with espresso (you can also get it with matcha). I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say this is the best latte I've ever had. It was like a warm, vegan, strawberry milk with a hint of coffee. Since that first time I've returned again and again for the same drink. The Elixir beans I've brewed in my own kitchen are great too. I really love how they taste and smell in my morning cup. But for me, Elixir starts and stops with that Strawberry Beet Oatmilk Latte. read more

The atmosphere is cute, the coffee LOOKS cute but doesn't taste great... Service was okay at best.

This place is amazing! There are so many different types of coffee and sweet options at this cafe. They call your name to pick up your items. The service was pretty fast. They also have a ton of different whole coffee beans that they sell. I really like how big this space is. You can easily work out of this space without feeling like you are invading someone else's personal space which is what I feel like in some of these other coffee shops in Philadelphia. I got a latte from there. They put a really nice design and it was pretty delicious. read more

Elixr serves consistently good coffee! I tried their specialty lattes: Strawberry OatMilk Latte & Caramel Black Salt Latte. I preferred the Strawberry OatMilk Latte more. It was subtly sweet and tasted like strawberry milk. The black pepper in the Caramel Latte threw me off, however my husband preferred it. The space is large enough for studying or catching up with friends! read more

Overall enjoyed the place--local, friendly, and free Wi-Fi! For instagram and the sugar rush, yes you can try the strawberry oat milk latte. But please explore what coffee tastes like without the dressing. Coffee vibe is unassuming and and non judge mental. They really try to get interesting flavors from their roasts so it's worth trying their pour overs. And please don't add sugar as you sip so you can enjoy the depths of flavors. You'll enjoy it all the more. read more

I've been to another location years ago and needed beans so we came here. Very spacious and some seating. Everything was perfectly made and the donut was unexpectedly good.

I came here on a recent trip to Philadelphia, and the coffee was great. There was so much space for sitting and socializing and the coffee was so good.

I wanted to get another but opted not to get anything but it was so good. read more

Elixr is quickly rising to the top of my favorite coffee purveyors in Philly, alongside La Colombe. I visited this location in October and tried the kabocha spiced oat latte - amazing! PSLs are usually way too sweet for me, and this was a better take on the concept. Drip coffee was great, too, and the almond croissant was awesome. Baristas were very friendly, and they had a few tables outside when I went in addition to indoor seating. read more

I didn't feel the "brotherly love" while visiting Elixr coffee cafe. No one greeted to say hello. They were people standing in crowds in front of the register to where I had to ask where does the line begin for me to order. Finally a young lady behind the counter asked to to please wait; which I did because I know cafes can get a tad busy. However while I was waiting, the young lady stopped making coffee to tell her story about her date to another barista. After waiting 5 minutes, she didn't apologize for the wait & took my order. I asked for a caramel latte. Once my order came up, I took one sip notice it was salty. To where she made me a salted caramel latte. The taste from the salt immediately made me spit it out, as I have a severe case of hypertension!!!! I went back to the counter & a young man made me my correct order. Again .. no apology. While picking up the correct latte from the counter, I almost slip from the water on the floor from in front of the trash can. There was NO yellow sign to warn me to be careful of the wet floor. I should have fell & sue but..... that wouldn't be the "brotherly love" thing to do. All & all.. I was excited to try this coffee cafe because it was around the corner from my hotel but NEVER AGAIN!!! Elixr please do better!!! - A California Native read more

This is a really spacious and cute coffee place. The baristas were so quick and really helpful when I was trying to decide what to get. There are tons of tables if you want to sit down and study or do some work which some people were doing. I got the Strawberry oat milk latte. At first I was super hesitant, however it was so delicious. It was the right amount of sweetness with coffee. It was very refreshing and well balanced! The barista did say it's their popular drink at the moment, and I can totally see why. They do have other options such as cold brew, macchiatos, teas, and drip coffee. read more
