Hashbrown (came with 2)
Carly C.

I ordered the Italian combo sandwich and the savory hashbrowns. Both were just okay. I would not order it again though. The hashbrown was not crispy and just had some seasoning poured on top of it. The sandwich I got turkey instead of Italian meats and the sandwich was not warmed, it was cold turkey and cold cheese. I also got the decaf americano which was fine but tasted Alamo like burnt coffee. The barista was friendly and patient. I would come back to try a different drink and food item; however everything I had was not particularly great. There is plenty of diverse seating. The cafe is spacious and spread out into another room.

Really good coffee and amazing vibe inside! Lattes are really good and they have some really nice tea options! Highly recommend this spot.

Lattes and pastries

Smaller coffee shop attached to the lobby of an apartment building across the street from where the Safeway used to be. Service is nice and fairly quick and the coffee is tasty! Pastries are from Machine Shop if I remember correctly, so you know they're all gonna be solid. What stands out is that we're able to sit in the lobby. There are a few tables that can seat a few people and a larger table to do work. Lots of plants in the lobby too which keeps it nice. Only had one experience with someone asking for money but seemed to be more rare of an occurrence.

Hummus toast & iced tea

This is one of my favorite coffee spots. Good energy to get work done with background music at just the right volume. Hummus toast & turkey sandwich are always on point.

Derringer, after one delicious sip...

Just here to confirm that this location is 100% up to Rival Bros standards. They make their milk drinks with the same perfect execution as other spots - a high standard that I've come to expect. Also echoing other reviews that the staff is very friendly. That counts a lot.

Really well made coffee in a quiet cute little shop. I only had a cappuccino but it felt like the perfect weight and ratio of foam/coffee

i love matcha and i'm a bit of a matcha snob haha i hate a milky matcha, but i have been hearing so…read moremuch about this place and i decided to check it out. philly's matcha scene is a bit lackluster so tbh i did not have the highest expectations going in but i am glad i was proven wrong! i ordered a jasmine milk matcha & it was delicious! strong matcha flavor (leans grassy) + super smooth. definitely on the sweeter end, i ordered online & i think next time if i'm ordering in i would ask for the drinks to be less sweet. but everything was ABSOLUTELY delicious. the egg coffee was delicious, sweet egg custard on top and strong coffee on the bottom, paired perfectly! the burger was also delicious, definitely filling but omg. i am still thinking about it! it was so flavorful and juicy. would recommend!!

Cute little Vietnamese coffee shop! They have various Viet coffee and banh mi, but they also serve…read morematcha. Ordered: - Mango Milk Coconut Matcha (July 2026 Special) - Housemade mango syrup, your choice of milk, matcha, coconut cold foam (only iced) - Well balance. I was worried the coconut might overpower the matcha but it didn't. According to their website it looks like their matcha is from Junbi. Visited a couple of times while I was living in Philly, from what I remember their banh mi were also pretty good. Pretty good place to study/work as well, they have two large table, a handful of small tables, and a bar section. On my recent visit in July 2026 it looks like they limit their wifi to 2 hours on the weekends and 4 hours on weekdays (sad to see since I don't remember this being a thing a couple years ago, but makes sense because they seem to be a lot busier now).

Suprema is great! Tiny little spot on 15th and Pine, right behind the Drake and the Kimmel Center…read more They have a great menu with rotating seasonal drinks. The honey badger latte is their specialty, but you really can't go wrong with any of their drinks. There's some barstool seating at the windows, but otherwise this is more of a grab and go spot. Their team is friendly and do a good job of serving people quickly.

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.

Twisted Grounds is a quiet little gem tucked away from the main hustle and bustle of the city…read more The employees are really nice and welcoming. Service is quick. It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available. Parking is on the street. Mild noise level. They have a good amount of drink options, including rotating specials, as well as pastries, bread, and misc items like granola and coffee beans. The drinks are delicious - definitely recommend their matcha. The pastries are huge, flavorful, and filling. Slightly dry but I did go right before closing. They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.

I got a blueberry bliss latte and oh my gosh it was the best blueberry coffee I've had. The milk is…read moreso perfectly sweetened and has a strong blueberry taste. The service was also super kind and answered all my questions I had beforehand. I did wish there was open seating for me either inside or out because I had a long walk but there's only 3 tables inside and a couple out so if you plan on staying maybe come a bit earlier
