We visited this gem of a place in October 2013. We were blown away with the delicious crepes, great coffee and the yummy and fresh baked goods. All the staff was super friendly and attentive. Will definitely go out of my way to visit this place again next time I'm visiting Philadelphia. read more

I love this place, delicious crepes and pastries and the coffee and teas are some of the best I have tried. The atmosphere is amazing and they have excellent customer service. If you are looking for something sweet I recommend the raspberry and cream cheese crepe, the galettes, sour cream coffee cake and the jasmine green tea honesuckle cake as well! read more

Part of me doesn't want to review the High Point Cafe because I believe a girl is entitled to have herself a perfect little hidden coffee shop that not too many people know about. That being said, this is a 5 star coffee shop so they deserve to be reviewed! I used to live in West Mt Airy which is how I first discovered High Point. I still go to church in Chestnut Hill, so I've made a Sunday routine of stopping by for a relaxing lunch on my way home. I always go for one of the savory crepes with a side of greens, a vanilla latte (either hot or iced, depending on the season), and sometimes a chocolate chip cookie to go. The crepes are filling and full of fresh ingredients, and the coffee never disappoints. It's the perfect place to sit and read and enjoy your coffee and lunch. The patrons are always friendly though and aren't afraid to strike up conversation. Sometimes around noon on Sunday's it's a bit crowded, but when there wasn't a table available right away, someone has always been gracious enough to invite me to sit at their table until they finish up. The staff is great, especially the owner. You can tell she really cares about her customers and her business. Keep up the good work! read more

I absolutely love High Point Cafe at both locations. The staff are always so nice, thoughtful and kind. How can a place have such consistently wonderful customer service? High Point has my eternal loyalty! read more

This staff is smooth. Super sweet and helpful, patient with annoying questions, and rather hipster/artsy which I appreciate immensely, personally. The customer base is meh, but the staff is awesome. Only place I can get an unsweetened non-dairy latte outside of center city. There's a mocha with fresh orange that is irresistible. They also carry gluten free pastries! read more

Fatastic! I've even purchased gift cards to here for children's birthday gifts. Their gluten free goodies are wonderful. Do not miss the turnovers. A real Mt Airy joint. read more

This is a great independent neighborhood coffee house. I just discovered it recently (after going to Mt. Airy Family Practice down the street) and I couldn't wait to return. Delicious crepes (choose sweet or savory, there are dozens of options, each about $7), plus great baked goods. I am a huge Americano fan and they make an excellent one for about $3. There's inside seating for about 12 or 15 people plus a few seats outside if weather permits. When it's busy, it gets crowded, so if you're in a rush, this may not be the spot for you, but if you're a fan of small and local business, go here and allow yourself 2 extra minutes, it's worth your time! The staff is friendly and personable, and work hard. P.S. I am a bit dumbfounded at the reviews saying it is pricey. Compared to what? I pay the same at other independent coffee shops. read more

In light of operating/frequenting a Coffee house, everyone in this café is incredibly calm and quiet. I don't get it. Like Yogi said .. 'No one goes there anymore cause it's too crowded'. The place is always packed and all I want to do is get my damn medium drip and slide out. But, nooooo, there's dogs barking outside, great-smelling scones in the case and so many distractions, that I can't take it that everyone is so calm. The only reason I come back to this place is cause the coffee is so good and it's only ten or fifteen blocks out of my way. Damn I wish I had a medium drip right now. read more

I am a Center City girl through and through, and plan on raising any future children to embrace our homeless neighbors and love graffiti as art. I always thought Mount Airy was the "nasty neighbor of Chestnut Hill." Wow, was I wrong! I visited this part of the "burbs" for the first time ever for a potential business meeting at a lovely eco-friendly homestore. I was expecting a warehouse on a nondescript street, but discovered an absolute utopia of co-op grocery stores, organic dry cleaners, young moms pushing stroller and cute boys walking dogs. Who knew? I grabbed my coffee at High Point Cafe, where the line was long but ridiculously friendly. The coffee was strong, fresh, and definitely fair trade, home grown, or otherwise earth friendly. The place smelled heavenly from fresh baked organic treats. Free dog treats, free "wrapping paper" made from leftover coffee bags, and pamphlets for endless neighborhood pow wows completed the homey little village where everyone seemed to know each other's names, and I imagined what it would be like if they knew mine. Could I ever leave the city for a life in this eco-heaven, close to the city, but with ample parking and fresh produce by the ton? I'm no planning on leaving town anytime soon, but this trip has lit a beacon on other side of Lincoln Drive. read more

Tea was good but service was poor. Location 602 carpenter Ln.

Liked the vibe. The caramel apple cupcake was delicious. But heavy. The sun dried tomato focaccia was bad (greasy and also heavy). The short caffe mocha was very short and small. But the atmosphere was so cool and neighborhoodish. Everyone in there seemed to know each other. And I'm new to the neighborhood. Might be a great way to get to know my neighbors while enjoying some yummy caramel apple cupcakes. Will try other hot drinks next time. read more

Mediocre coffee that is a bit overpriced...an 8oz cup is 2.25 which is more than what you'd pay for 12 ounces at other small shops. The crepes are ok...again not worth the cost. Above all I get the feeling that the whole place is pretty grimy and could use some better cleaning and upkeep. read more

HPC is a very small, cutesy cafe. Bicycle and street parking are available right outside. The only major complaint I have is the lack of wifi. The barista told me this location gets very busy, so they want to give customers the opportunity to sit and dine for a little bit, then make their way out. I'm not sure if that was a hint to steer me away from hanging out there for a prolonged period. Regardless, I still stayed for about an hour to get some work done. No one said anything to me about leaving. I did notice a decently moderate flow of customers, who sat down for an average of about 10-15 minutes. In terms of the beverages, I ordered a chai tea latte. It was pretty good, but nothing extraordinary. I liked that they had a pretty big selection of food items (salads, pastries, etc). I did not get a chance to try anything to eat, but I would be open to doing so the next time around. I was told there's another location, which I would probably be more willing to visit when I'm in town again. read more

We have been at least 20 times and have enjoyed it each time. Kids, dogs, and laid back neighborhood people all add to the nice vibe. We always get the reasonably priced crepes with a side of greens. Often we get coffee. Sometimes we treat ourselves to the pastries. Every visit has been great! read more

I LOVE you this place! Always treated like a favorite customer even though I only stop when visiting Philly. Their baked goods are phenomenal and their coffee and espresso drinks are the best! read more

Stopped by for a little lunch after trail running in Wissihiken and thoroughly enjoyed this cafe. Delicious crepes with a very reasonable mixed green $1 side. The cinnamon roll was wonderful too (ask for it to be heated up). Friendly staff and atmosphere and dog friendly (water bowl outside and treats inside). Loved this place! read more

They won me over. Delicious food, insanely friendly staff. One star off because they frequently forget my toasted pastry and often burn it and have to start over. However, I like them so much it's forgivable. read more

Limited seating on the inside. My wife and I were relegated to sitting outside. Good thing it was a nice day out. Food is good and drinks are ok. Customer service was exceptional. read more

This is cute place, and food looks good, but what I have ordered has very little flavor, I have tried High Point several time, but it does not get better, I think it is a good place to hang and meet with friends, but it needs help in the flavor department. read more

Yelp needs to update the information about this place--- there is NOT free wi-fi access at High Point Cafe. I guess it is some sort of passive-aggressive way of dissuading PAYING CUSTOMERS from sitting down with a laptop and getting some work done. The crepes are delicious, but I'm a busy grad student and I like to go to a cafe where I can eat delicious food AND work on my computer at the same time. read more

Baked goods? Drool. Coffee drinks? Yum. Based on one visit. Baristas were nice, nice, nice. It was a little hard to get a table - middle of the day on a weekday, but worth the moving around. read more

Really cute place, hip vibes, friendly staff and a great location - but holy moly do they burn their coffee to tar. Espresso drinks are fine, but drip coffee is always rubberized to the point of being undrinkable. It's a shame because I get the feeling they ought to know better. Crepes are creative and nice, baked goods are standard fare. Be wary of their peak hours of you want to sit down, it gets full fast in there. read more

The coffee is perfect and the pastries are the best in the area. Meg, the owner is always upbeat.

The cappuccino was really good, but pricey...and with the 75-cent surcharge for soy milk (I have lactose intolerance, so I really don't have a choice), the drink came to $6.08. Wow. As substituting cow milk for soy milk couldn't cost the cafe more than 10 cents....maybe 11, but no more... I found the surcharge quite hard to swallow. read more
