    Butterfly lemonade
    Jessica S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Elixr is my favorite coffee shop in our neighborhood and so far in Philly! I am a huge fan of the care the baristas take to make drinks and how welcoming they are. My favorite drink is the strawberry oatmilk latte with matcha

    Just as good as the Center City locations. Consistently good drinks and friendly service. I love the strawberry oat milk matcha latte! I also love the caramel black salt latte!

    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.

    Lavender matcha and strawberry matcha
    Micaelly A.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Almond croissant, Irish Potato latte + the worlds silliest straw
    Emily F.

    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.

    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!

I don't think I've ever visited an an hour where I've seen it not. Often a line going from the counter, down the stairs, all the way to the bathroom. If you're looking for a quick coffee stop, don't expect to be in and out of here. That being said, they've got some kinds of seating not typical of coffee shops, including this nice long U-shaped couch seating. You'll be around with other folks reading or enjoying their joe, but it's a nice change of pace. Working-wise, wi-fi is solid. Outlets are sparse. Hard to stay a long time here. Music is at least at a tolerable level to tune out and is not usually too bumping. Staff here are quick, but won't be the friendliest. They won't be rude either. They're just trying to get through the line so don't take it personally Overall: would much prefer other places like Capital One Cafe for the reasons I visit cafes, but I can see this being a nice place for other more leisurely-natured visits!

    Yelp Review 2025 #253:…read more We've been walking around Philly the whole day. The bus was delayed for 30minutes from Rocky Steps to Franklin Institute so, we walked. We were cold, we were tired and I had to use a restroom ASAP. Luckily, Peddler Coffee was only a few feet away to relieve my bladder from its misery. Of course, we got some drinks. They're highly related on all review sites. They have baked products, coffee-based drinks and tea. They have seasonal drinks. You can get drinks hot or iced, small or large - simple! No tall, grande, venti and whatever! Maple Spice Latte: Tasty and quite unique. A flavor you won't normally find a commercial coffee houses. 4/5 Cinnamon Dolce Latte: Comforting especially on a cold autumn afternoon. 4/5 Service was great. There was only one barista but he was fast and efficient.
