They had all kinds of interesting lattes such as elderberry. The place also sells a lot of NA wines/ beers to-go (which I really liked). They also sell whole bean coffee there. I ended up getting a medium roasted drip coffee. It was an upgrade of a dollar for a medium. The medium coffee was actually too big for me (seemed like the size of a large). The place doesn't have anywhere to sit on the first floor but if you take the stairs they have an ample sitting room. The upstairs has a bunch of board games, a tv, and another coffee bar space.

Would recommend as a wfm option if you don't have any calls to take, and they even have some outside seating as well. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items. The drinks are made rather quick, sandwiches could take about 30 minutes so I recommend calling ahead if you're in a rush. I recommend the Caprese or smoke salmon sandwiches and their match is always good on any day!

Although the plants are nice, most of the plants are already potted up in pots. That was a disappointment for me.

Got it in a diner mug-- love drinking coffee at coffee shops in a mug. It just makes the coffee taste better, and I'm not sure how. This feels like a talking and catching up-priority coffee shop. Tables are a bit smaller, and the chairs not as comfy for long term sitting. However, the wi-fi remains strong, and it was good enough for 2 hours of work. I also had an outlet nearby ready, but didn't end up having to use it today. Coffee is great too! I love places that roast on-house and have their own beans, b/c you know that they care an extra bit more about the quality of their stuff. Will be back!

The staff wasn't rude or anything, but on both occasions I got a "What are you doing here?" vibe that was slightly off-putting. My first visit was picking up an order for Uber Eats and I was told that it was the best pretzel spot in the city, so I just had to try it. I order two everything pretzels, two soft pretzel twists, and two sweet pretzels to share with a group. The order was staples shut and I confirmed the contents before leaving. Unfortunately, there was only one of the two everything pretzels that I had paid for, further dampening my experience. The store front itself is tiny and I tended to grab and go... there's absolutely nothing cute or interesting about it, but I understand that isn't the point. The pretzels were soft and fresh, and I even shared with strangers at the park. Everyone enjoyed them but nobody was wowed. The order was ready on time and the price was right, but my search for the ultimate Philly pretzel experience continues.

I already knew I was getting mini cream puffs and eclairs, cannolis (and they offer a choice of fillings), cupcakes and my beloved cappuccino perfectly made with a few chocolate sprinkles on it (just for me?). The same couple were behind the counter with their now very-grown-up son. A few older gentlemen solved the world's problems at a table in the corner while sipping their coffees. A mother and young son were sharing what must have been the last delicious vanilla glazed yeast doughnuts (yes, they were all gone... much to my disappointment...and along with the 'hand pies' as I call them). My family loved my purchases and I loved my coffee.

Free wifi and open until 4, I love a coffee shop that can double as a workspace throughout the day. They have singular stations that allow for some privacy and focus, in addition to their tables and open seating. Prices are competitive, coffee is good, staff is kind. Bonus points for fun swag and the bird motif (Go Birds). Parking is street only, and given this is a popular thoroughway in Roxborough, it could be tricky to find a spot at peak times. However, Flying Sowth came through for me when I needed to take a work call and was stuck in Schuylkill traffic on a Thursday afternoon, and I snagged a spot right out front.
