    HOT COFFEE!
    Magnolia M.

    Hidden gem in East Falls! Thunder Mug is a chill, no-frills coffee spot tucked away on Ridge Ave. I had the za'atar croissant. It was flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor. Totally elevated the usual croissant game. The drip coffee was hot and smooth. Super friendly service. Definitely recommend!

    It's a nice space w a lot of seating. The staff was nice, offered input on the menu. The coffee is p good, smooth and flavorful, with a variety of options. They had a decent selection of pastries and also had breakfast sandwiches. The owner seemed grumpy which made me less willing to return despite the good coffee, space, and staff.

    I always love going to Thunder Mug. The coffee is tasty, the staff are nice, and they have really comfy chairs to read in.

    Tried the ridge ave location. Had espresso & beignets. Hubby had ham n cheese croissant. Marvelous. Nice quiet reading/working nook where we sat and ate. Definitely will be back. A must try

    Zataar croissant and latte

    My favorite spot for unique pastries and good coffee. Thundermug is a hidden gem and always has such a good variety of pastries to pair with your morning coffee. They also have an outdoor patio with lots of seating inside. The service is always so helpful and informative. I see them at the farmers market and always grab a coffee in passing. Inside has a seating place for whatever you want to do. Ambiance is great.

    strawberry latte

    Amazing service, great coffee, even better atmosphere! We got the cereal milk latte and an iced strawberry latte. They were both delicious and averaged about $5.50 each. The croissant was SO good. This is the type of pastry you'd pay $7-9 for somewhere else, and here it was only $3.50! This establishment is worth the stop if you're in the area. Everyone was kind and everything is super good!

    I had some friends recommend Thunder Mugs as a nice, local coffee joint. The type of place you could pop in for your daily coffee. We wanted to try somewhere new and you're able to order online. We did an order of some coffee and pastries. I had an iced mocha, a cheese danish, and a croissant. Coffee was delicious. Nice chocolate flavor. The croissant and cheese danish had a perfect pastry. The cheese danish was a little light on the cheese, but so good! Definitely going to be coming back!

    Cute little local coffee shop with some inside and outside sidewalk seating. Only a few items on the menu but my latte was well made and deliciously foamy. I love the cute logo on the cup. They have a case of pastries and had two types of donuts. There were fluffy au fournil filled donuts-I had the vanilla crème patisserie. And they also had okiedokie donuts.

    Im not from the east coast and have been dying to a satisfying lavender oat milk latte since I arrived a month ago. Was disappointed by all other coffee shop until today!!! This one was clearly made with love and it tasted like a dream highly recommend

    Enjoying an espresso!

    Cortado was good but they charged me 1.50 extra for 2 ounces of oat milk. Kind of insane.

I stopped in for lunch and ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Wow! The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Then I added a side of Onion Rings, and let me tell you, these easily rank in my Top 4 onion rings of all time. Perfectly cooked, crispy, and absolutely delicious. My future daughter-in-law ordered the Ricotta & Fruit Toast, and it looked amazing. Fresh, colorful, and almost too pretty to eat... almost. If you're out walking the trails by the river and start feeling hungry, do yourself a favor and stop in. Whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, or just a great place to relax for a bit, you won't be disappointed. And if you're ordering the onion rings, don't plan on sharing--they're that good!

    Walking into Pilgrims brought back so much nostalgia. It's been a few years since I visited…read moreregularly (as a student & wfh employee) but it's easy to tell not much has changed. Pilgrims is still a solid coffee shop and it's ran by the same smiling face behind the counter. Overall this place has great coffee, pastries and a casual ambiance that's perfect for people to get some work done. They've continued to offer more food & drink options that include prepackaged grab & go snacks like granola bars or chocolate milk. They also sell their coffee beans and some other coffee & non coffee related nicknacks. As for my initial review, I'm happy to report my tastebuds have matured and I don't need a million sugary drink options to be satisfied with a coffee shop. Pilgrims does have a larger menu with the option to add flavor to just about anything now but I wouldn't come to pilgrims looking for an elaborate seasonal "designer" latte with toppings. They might make a seasonal drink but i don't think it'll have as much sugar as some other shops that sell diabetes in a cup

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!
