I tried a few drinks here and was pleasantly surprised by how unique and well-balanced they were:…read more Matcha White Champaca Salted Cheese - Starts with a light matcha bitterness, then transitions into a subtle floral camellia note. Refreshing with nice layers. Jasmine Mango smoothie - Sweet mango paired with pomelo bits and a hint of jasmine tea. Super refreshing and not overly sugary--perfect after a meal or on a hot day. Premium Jasmine Apple Milk Tea - Tastes like a cold-brew tea mixed with green apple juice. Very crisp and refreshing, slightly ing apple candy in a fun way. Great if you're not into milky drinks. Jasmine Tea - A pure tea option with a clean jasmine aroma. Smooth, not bitter, and gets better as you sip. Pairs really well with heavier or savory foods.

The staff is friendly and great at recommending new and fun drinks. Unfortunately the last two times I've stoped by, my iced latte was a bit burnt. Not to the extent that is wasn't drinkable, but not awesome for an 8 dollar drink. I grabbed a matcha on my first visit and that was great, I'll be sticking to their matcha on future visits. Overall, a great cafe to work from and hang out a bit!

They are pricey so you do pay the price. The cream is filled when you order so the shell doesn't get soggy. I tried the Pistachio $16. There were crushed pistachio on the shell. I like that they sprinkle crushed pistachio on the edge cream. Would come back for a treat but not too often cause it was a bit pricy for me

It's a small corner shop right by Pat's, Geno's and the Garage. There is actually some Geno's memorabilia inside. It's a gourmet hot cocoa shop, the cheapest hot cocoa drink is the original and it was $12 at the time. It is fun to watch how they do it! The glasses are placed on a lazy Susan which is covered in chocolate shavings. They add whipped cream to the glass then pour in the hot cocoa. This is a great start but next they start shaving a variety of chocolate on top. Milk, dark, white. I don't even know what they all were but it was definitely fun to each the drink become richer and more delicious with every scrape. As if that isn't enough, if you order a drink that comes with marshmallow, they toast it with a small flame thrower. They also sell a variety of chocolate covered pretzels, cannoli, and gelato. Definitely worth trying for the experience and decadent drinks!

FOOD Located next to Machine Shop, most guests don't come here for pastries, but they do have a limited selection of donuts and croissants. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. It's a small storefront so the line can seem quite long, but they are efficient in filtering people through. AMBIANCE Located in the Bok Building, there's ample seating in the general seating area right by and behind the storefront. The space is shared with other guests visiting Machine Shop and the stores in Bok. I saw some people working/studying, but it can get quite busy/loud. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Most people park in neighboring streets or take the bus. BATHROOMS Bathrooms are located throughout the building.

It is inside an office building and the entrance is off to the side of that main office entrance. Service was prompt and I got my food out very quickly. I had the quinoa bowl which was really good and not too pricey. The bowl had a perfect balance, especially if you mix the cream cheese around. If I was walking around the area, I would come back here again. This seems to be a more local spot compared to the heavily touristy restaurants right on Rittenhouse Square nearby.

My usual order is a pastry and a pour over here. Coffee came out fast, and I was also able to have a good window seat to do some morning reading with my morning coffee.

Bathroom was frigid though, and I'm not sure why. Otherwise, this is a solid as your neighborhood coffee shop for some focus time or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
