Passero&#x27;s Coffee Roasters

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!

I went in .... Slightly hung over, and the barista with the Latino accent was so funny and helpful…read more Honestly being a total vibe and make the experience amazing. 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

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.

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.

Maybe because it is located in the busier section of the city the service seemed a rushed and a bit chaotic.

I found a one seater so I drank my drink within 10 minutes and left. Maybe I will try coming back in the fall (it may be a bit more relaxed without all the summer time out of town people). They do have cute free stickers so I got 2!
