I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why…read more I'm not from the area--in fact, I live in Los Angeles, about 2,700 miles away. My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

He advised me on the best drink, and I am not disappointed at all. The strawberry oat milk matcha is not too sweet and super flavorful. I also got an americano (because hungover) I wish I was local as I would make this my regular place

This place have their own version of vietnamese dishes and coffee but everything was delicious! We tried a bunch of different foods and drinks. I love their crispy fries with tamarind seasoning. Space is large, bright, clean, parking is a bit hard for those who doesn't know how to navigate Philly street.

The staff is always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a cheerful, genuinely local feel. The cinnamon bun is outrageously good, truly about as good as it gets.

Also noticed a seasonal grapefruit sage espresso soda on the menu, which would be refreshing on a warm day when you want a change from iced coffee. Very clean with several tables along the windows for laptops (although I didn't scope outlets) and several outdoor tables on the sidewalk. They sell pasties that looked like were from a legit artisan bakery, and I appreciated the small standing bar area they had off to the corner just past the entrance. Definitely recommend this location of Rival Bros.

Tucked away on Sansom Street and right around the corner from my new office. Time to check it out…read more First glance - very modern, clean, fresh vibe. Plenty of seating area not only in the front of the cafe, but also out on the street and even next door where they share lobby space with a fancy apartment building. Staff very attentive and in a good mood. Friday treat was a chocolate croissant to bring into the office for my morning coffee. It was fresh and under $4. Definitely a treat!

Not a huge coffee person, but I came in on a hot day to get some sort of refreshment. The space is…read moredecently sized with a couple tables and stool seating. Everyone working was friendly and moved pretty quickly. I can't remember exactly what I ordered, but it was a seasonal drink made of tea, sparkling water, and passionfruit syrup (juice? concentrate?). It was exactly what I needed and the fruit flavor was strong. Not much else to say, and it seemed like everyone else was enjoying their coffees!

Great spot for a coffee stop!…read more Limited seating but an otherwise cute warm vibe inside. Espresso was great. Friendly staff and customers.

Five stars for being my soup dealer…read more Passero's is my weekday soup destination. (Wish they were open weekends.) They have lots of coffee, but I can't speak to it as I've only had coffee here twice, long ago. Soup-wise, they usually have at least three types ready to go. Choose your preference, pick a size, and pick a side (bread or Utz chips). I usually get soup to go, and chips (because Utz). They're open early (6:30am), but soup's isn't ready until 8am. Soup flavors rotate. If you see them, my favorites are their shrimp and corn chowder, and their Thai soup. There are multiple Passero's, but I've only been to this one. (Been coming here since 2023!) Friendly service every time I'm here. Credit cards accepted.

Would love to come back for some focused time to work another time!

Pretty good crowd and you get your order taken and made before the barista moves on to the next customer. I got the Banana Pudding matcha which was delicious and unique. My friend got the Tiramisu Latte which was nice and creamy- had a little almond flavor to it. The tables had wireless charging stations which came in handy because my phone was about to die! Service was great! Will definitely be going back to try more drinks and pastries!!!

I've been wanting to stop by this spot for some time now on a recommendation of a friend who knows…read morethe owner. I usually go for coffee shops that are more work-in friendly, but today I wasn't with anyone with any particular working needs, so I decided to swing by. By swing by, I meant circle around. Not friendly to drivers needing to park. I managed to get a break when a utility truck pulled out from the curb right in front of the shop, right as I was swore a rash vow to move onto a coffee shop with better parking. Shop overall is small, but does have some good counter seating, stools with no backs, outlets, and solid wi-fi. Did some reading and working throughout the morning, and saw all of the usual suspects come through: a fire crew, fitness moms with their newborn babies, the local elderly couple just here for black coffee, etc. Seems like a good trickle, but never supremely busy (pun intended) at any given time. Smooth jazz on the speakers today also made working pretty sweet! Staff don't seem the friendliest but not outright rude, but they were professional and prompt. Good enough for me! As for the coffee, it was solid, but nothing that I'd go out of my way for. Just had a latte with regular milk, and it was a good compliment to working. Overall, given the difficulty of access, I'm probably not going out of my way to stop by. But for a good cup of coffee if I'm in the area, happy to revisit.
