A lot of spaces for working, with a lot of good conversations happening in the background to provide some filler white noise, if that's your cup of tea. Also not too loud in case you want to throw on some noise cancelling headphones and lock in. Service is fast! I usually order the drip and a sweet waffle, but twoday I went savory with a BEC, and it was awesome! The distinguishing thing here is waffles, and they do it in a ton of varieties extremely well, even to-go! Wi-fi is good here to boot, so I'm not sure if I have any knocks on this place... perhaps that it closes too early?

Ambience was nice, and not too much noise or background disturbances. There's generally a lot of seating here, with ample outlets. I've visited previous times where there hasn't been a lot of free space because this is a student hotspot for nearby Drexel and UPenn. But that's honestly no fault to the cafe itself-- they are pretty much maxing out space without beginning to feel too cluttered and sacrificing the "vibe". Ordered a drip and a English muffin breakfast sandwich. One of my friends also completed the "Google review for a cookie" deal, and we enjoyed a piping hot freshly baked cookie! Overall I'd definitely consider this a place to meet up, or lock in while studying. Just make sure to consider the time of day and time of year academically, as this is a popular student spot.

The shop is bigger than it looks from the outside. It has plenty of seating and it's very inviting. Staff member seemed busy but did greet us when we approached the counter to place our order. I ordered a latte and my daughter got a London fog. Hands down the tea was better than my coffee. Having restrictions with caffeine has made me appreciate my one and only cup of coffee per day. The coffee was just a cup of coffee, nothing to write home about. Now the London fog on the other hand was amazing. My daughter said that it's really difficult for her to find this drink with a lavender base. It was my first time tasting it and hopefully not my last. The pastries were ok. They just didn't taste fresh. Overall, a nice local place to meet up with friends or quite enough to work on your laptop.

Good quality coffee as well, tasted good. Very charming spot, not huge, but some good space to hang out and chat.

Solid coffee, excellent location, and great bean value!…read more Great Bean Value sounds like the hottest new punk band from Philly. Anyway, I stop in here all the time for a little pick me up when I'm out and about with fam around Clark Park. The space can be a little cramped, but the coffee is always on point, there's outdoor seating for when weather cooperates, and again, they sell their beans and give you a free coffee along with! The bean variety (Bean Variety is the smaller pop punk group that split off of Great Bean Value in the 00s, they went corporate it was totally lame) is solid. Small batch stuff from all over Lat Am, in a variety of roast levels from blonde to espresso. They can also grind the beans for you. $16 for artisinal beans and a coffee on top is pretty good if you're the type who can stick to one or two cups a day. A neighborhood fave of mine.

I got an Ube latte (hot) but I wish I got it cold because it was difficult to really taste the ube flavor. My partner got the horchata and really enjoyed it. We both got the Frankford which was decent. We added the coffee ketchup which unfortunately just tasted like ketchup and the scallion jam. I feel like it was missing something (maybe a sauce of some sort to cut down on the chewiness of the bread). This would've made it excellent. We also got the ube sugar cookie which was fantastic! Forin is very reasonably priced and the service there truly is so wonderful. The individual helped us pick what to get and the staff overall were just so pleasant. I would love to try some of their other food options but I really did enjoy this place!
