When it gets warmer I can't wait to enjoy my coffee outdoors. I was only in town for a week but we had to come several times.

There's also a counter where your party can sit across from each other. I saw a group doing homework there. In addition, I want to highlight the lovely service I received every time. So polite and helpful. I never felt rushed, they answered my questions and even have great options for vegetarians. You gotta check it out!

Very welcoming and went through the different drip roasts for me. I got the light roast and it was delicious! He also recommended the pumpkin spice scone which was a perfect combo. The scone was flaky on the outside and so soft and fresh in the middle. Not like others that taste like hockey pucks. As a visitor from the other side of the state this was a great find. I would happily stop again the next time I visit family. Tucked in the back of a pretty quiet little shopping area you would miss it if you weren't looking for it. Enjoy!!!

Wow man, this sucked. I called early in the morning looking for a cinnamon roll and was told that…read morethey had just put them in the oven, yay!!! Showed up about an hour later and they said they needed some more time - totally understand, beautiful pastries can't be rushed! Took about 20 extra minutes so we ordered a hot latte and a donut - the donut was stale and the coffee tasted more like the cup that it was in than anything else. "Hey man, that's okay" I said to myself, "we're just building up to the main course!" I'll attach a picture of the main course in question, what a letdown. I'm not in the business of baking and I don't like to assume, but I'm SURE that this cinnamon bun was not "fresh out of the oven". Ovens are hot, right? This was cold. If you're stuck wondering if you should give this place a try, I would recommend staying home, putting some coffee grounds in a small Amazon box and running some hot water over it to simulate the Collective Coffee experience. And then if you say to yourself "wow, that was delicious, I just wish I paid ten bucks for it!" Then maybe you would like it here. PS the people working there seemed nice, no shade to them.

So I am always on the hunt for a good bakery with good bread. Based on the pictures and some…read morereviews, I headed here early on Sunday morning. I think they have made some marked changes from the early days. The display case of baked items is small and gets replenished. I only saw one loaf of features bread which appeared to be selling by the slice. There were two people behind the counter with one barista and one person taking orders and replenishing the baked goods. There was one person ahead of me who ordered several things but they did not start making the coffee until the items were all paid for and a paper ticket produced. Needless to say, it took 10 minutes to get a coffee made and leave and that's with it not being busy. The cakes looked ok, but not as appealing as some of the picture. Parking is a hassle. All street parking in downtown Phoenixville. Not worth the hassle. Ok for coffee if I'm walking the town anyway and not in a hurry

Birthday at Birchrunville- But not quite worth the…read moreanticipation. On just about the hottest day of summer we ventured on the scenic drive to Birchrunville Store Cafe. A group of 6 on a dinner reservation at their first seating at 6pm. We entered and were sat at the back corner table- their air conditioning was a relief. The vibes- quaint, tight quarters. Grandma's dining room. Emphasis on the grandma, as the crowd was much older. I found that fascinating, as Birchrunville is a "must stalk" reservation. That type of spot is usually on trend (and not on elderly). We sat, broke out our BYOs and contemplated first course. The menu is ever-changing which is refreshing. Seasonal and never stagnant, even if Babcia grabs a table regularly. Appetizers arrive- we order a variety. Hits and misses. What didn't miss throughout our dining was each presentation. Smears and dollops and thoughtfulness to plates. Oysters- ok. No variety of types to choose from. Also a non-preferred: the oysters were already dressed with their mignonette. No option naked was disappointing. The bone marrow was lacking depth. It tasted mostly of its topped garnish and was fattier than expected. The stuffed figs could've been a passer-by. Fresh by lack of flavor. We liked the crispy bacon. Caesar salad was another take it or leave it. The goat cheese croquettes caused confusion (see photo). It was actually an arugula salad - note, well dressed and citrusy, with breaded cheese crumbs atop. We wanted a ball of cheese, per the croquette. Interesting spin? But we'll leave apps on a high note- The gazpacho. Appealing to the eye and palette- bright, cheery, cool and clean. To entrees- this is where the opposition arises. From fantastic to terrible. Kudos given: meats and skin on seafood. Unmemorable: sauces Just Bad: my seafood trio Great crusts on the lamb and steaks. They were cooked to proper temp, juicy and flavorful. Fish- skins crispy and meat flaky. I am sorry to say, but have to emphasis that I deemed parts of my dish inedible. The whitefish was bland, the crab cake had no lumps and the AHI! There was the inedible- the tuna. Couldn't chew it, refused to swallow it. The sear was so hard on this thing, the tuna turned into chewing gum. Just bad. A complementary dessert was enjoyed in sweet treat by the birthday boy. While service was attentive and pleasant, we were rushed out for second seating. Understood, we just felt excused and hustled out. Like we did something wrong. So, we end up at 3 stars. If a reservation feels elite, so should the food. Overall our experience was just good. Here there is history, but not all the hype.
