Short walk from my hotel towards the liberty bell area. Very cool vibe with dark wood, jazz music, book cases, and nice artwork. Perfect coffee house vibe. I ordered the oat milk mocha and sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. Coffee was quick but the sandwich took awhile to get even when they were not busy. Both were okay. Not great but not bad. Overall cute place but probably won't return. read more

This is the best coffee shop in Philly! Discovered this gem of a coffee shop while staying in the area. Everything about this place is everything. Starting off, the mood and the vibe of this shop is so zen and amazing. The comfy music that is played, the low lightening and the beautiful decor sets a beautiful mood, especially in the morning. Service is amazing!! All the staff are wonderful people and I really enjoyed the conversations I had with them. Everything I had was delicious but my favorite was the caramel iced latte. Was delicious and put other shops I've been to shame. I will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

I tried their walnut cappuccino the other day and now I love not one but two of their drinks: their mocha being the other one. The mug was rimmed with some sort of syrup and crushed walnuts so with eat sip of the cappuccino, you get the slightly sweet, nutty flavor of the walnuts. read more

Cute little cafe, feels a bit backward in time and you're entering someone's home. They offered to toast the almond croissant which was good but I was a bit disappointed by the macchiato coffee. It was in a super tiny cup, maybe had 3 sips, no flavor, alas, I missed my usual coffee spot. read more

After an afternoon of sightseeing, I was in desperate need of refuge and calm - not to mention a cup of Joe! Loved the service, the ambience and the coffee and pastries!!! highly recommend them! read more

Solid coffee shop with a good amount of seating for the size of the cafe. It is quite dark in there which is nice if you're looking for something with more cozy/comfy vibes. I got their "cinnamon roll" when I was studying there, but found out it was actually a cinnamon croissant with raisins in it. The croissant was pretty flakey and buttery. read more

Walk to fast and you'll miss it, but in this very homely coffee house with low lighting and books covering the walls, there's some fantastic coffee and food! Service - super nice and on top of everything! Coffee - delicious and unique flavors within the drinks. It took a little bit of time, but was definitely well worth it. Food - While I wasn't a huge fan of my bagel, the pastries were very good (cheese danish and cinnamon roll) Definitely a try among all of the coffee houses around. It is something unique and also quiet. If you are looking for more of a relaxing and subtle shop, this is the way to go! read more

Time & Peace Cafe - Front window, before the crowd arrived. Lots of seating behind. - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Time & Peace Cafe is a cozy cafe and art gallery in the heart of Philly featuring soft lights, art, music, books, and board games. The ambiance is seriously serene; it's hard to imagine that a place like this exists amid today's hustle and bustle. We stopped by on a rainy Saturday morning for coffee and tried their Iced Honey Cinnamon Latte and Iced Walnut Cappuccino. Both were fantastic-- the Honey Cinnamon Latte was sweet, smooth, and creamy, while the Walnut Cappuccino was rich and fragrant with finely chopped walnuts. The staff were very sweet and meticulous too. My partner and I ordered large and regular-sized drinks, respectively, and the barista kindly let us know that both would be served in the same-sized cups, with the large filled to the rim and the regular filled to the line. **20% off your order if you check in on Yelp! read more

Time & Peace Cafe - Inside - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We found this place on Yelp and decided to stop by. This coffee shop is downtown in the middle of everything. It's a small little coffee shop with dim lighting. As soon as you walk in there's the menu and you order the drink. Behind there it's the tables. There's books and board games. The girls who were working were helpful and patient with us. I ordered a latte. It was good and service was good. Overall good experience! read more

They have nice flavors of coffee and everything was really great. I absolutely love the food and coffee there. The cinnamon roll was really good and perfect with the walnut cappucino which has great flavor and ingredients were absolutely great. It has nice texture too. The place was so cool with pleasant ambiance. read more

Cute little place. Friendly staff. I like that their dine-in orders comes with real cups instead of one time use ones. A little dark inside. Only one table in the front by the window that was being used by the staff. read more

This is a really cozy cafe with a dimly lit interior and quiet music. I like the interior decor with bookshelves. It's a good place to get work done and enjoy one of their drinks. I always get the walnut maple latte which is delicious. Lining the rim with walnuts is a really nice touch and elevates the drink! I've also tried the salted caramel latte which is a delicious drink as well. read more

My favorite cafe in Philly! I'm in love with the ambiance here- dim lighting with yellow lamps, bookshelves, paintings, dark wood, Bill Evans in the background. The workers here are also always so kind. The drinks here are also high quality and rich in taste. I've had the walnut cappuccino and regular cappuccino, both of which have foam that matches the smoothness of velvet. Their iced coffee definitely tastes like a darker roast, so it makes for a refreshing pick on a hot day! I feel like there's a lot of attention to detail poured into in each drink they make which is so rare and appreciated. Time & Peace makes for the perfect place to spend a cozy Sunday morning catching up with a friend or alone with a book. read more

A cozy and not too busy coffee shop. I went here to work a bit and love the atmosphere. There were paintings on the wall, a bookshelf in the back and some art pieces. They were playing jazz instrumental which is soo nice and soothing. They have a good selection of espresso drinks, specialty lattes and pastries that look delectable. I had a chamomile tea which was good. I am docking off one star because the girl who took our order could have been more nice about it. She was not rude but didnt look like she enjoyed being there either - it felt weird. read more

What a gem! I can't believe I just discovered this place! In the heart of the city, is the cutest little cafe with fantastic coffee, croissants and seating for the perfect sit down. The staff and waiter were very friendly and I just can't believe I just now found this place. It's overlooked ! Will definitely be coming back whether it's for a sit down study session, to read a book, or just grab a nice coffee in the city. read more

Nice addition to the neighborhood. I stopped in on opening day to check it out. Staff were sweet and welcoming. It's a really cozy spot, with warm, dark colors, wood accents, and bookshelves decorating the space. (I really need to remember to take more photos--guess I'll have to go back soon!) They were playing music that created a calm ambience. They've got tables and wifi if you want to enjoy a coffee while working. They use House Cup Coffee (a roaster in Havertown) if you keep track of that sort of thing. They have a few "signature drinks," so I gave that a try for my first visit. I had a walnut cappuccino, something I don't think I've seen elsewhere. It was topped with ground walnuts, which was a nice touch. Going to keep this place in my list of comfortable spots to work remotely or to have a relaxed meetup with friends. read more

Wonderful place to avoid the downtown chaos, have a cafe and pastry in a refuge. Nice art, good jazz playing, and comfy seating.

I love a good themed cafe with yummy drinks and peaceful ambience. The background music was not distracting, but calm - almost like a jazz cafe. It isn't a small cafe, but there was only one barista working. There is also a stamp card that is completed after 15 drinks and a Time and Peace coffee sleeve. I got a large hot chai and walnut cappuccino. The chai was delicious - actually had a chai spiced flavor, although it could have been stronger. It was not too sweet or too watered down. There wasn't a strong walnut flavor in the cap, which was good, but to me it was like a regular cappuccino with some toppings. I was reading some reviews and saw how they used to circle the cappuccino cup with nuts, but didn't for us :( I guess next time specify that you are dining in if you want some latte art. The guy also forgot our ham and cheese croissant but we chose to give it 20 minutes just in case he was super backed up on sandwiches. But most people came and went; if they stayed, it was a short stay. The honey and cinnamon latte is very strong on the honey, I could barely taste the cinnamon with the coffee. There are only a few tables and chairs inside. There are a couple of tall tables next to the wall with outlets. I like that there are wall decorations, local artworks, books, and decor. There isn't necessarily a theme, but it is cozy. Sometimes it's louder than usual with people talking, other times it's quiet with people working or studying. read more

DRINKS I ordered the regular salted caramel latte, which came with whipped cream and marshmallows. It's decently priced and worth what you get. It wasn't too sweet, and the milk-to-coffee ratio was perfect. They have other options including the classic Americanos, espressos, cappuccinos, etc., and their specialty drinks include walnut cappuccinos, honey cinnamon lattes, and French lattes. I'll definitely be back sometime soon to try! FOOD I ordered a cinnamon roll, and it was sweet, filling, and delicious. They offer a selection of other pastries from cheese/blueberry danishes, muffins, apple turnovers, and more. SERVICE The barista was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. Despite being a relatively new shop, there are already regulars coming in with their orders remembered. AMBIANCE The atmosphere inside is very warm and cozy, and the classical music inside the store is very calming. It's a great place to just relax or work/study. Outlets and complimentary Wi-Fi are available in-store. PARKING Street parking is available at a limited capacity. read more

Time & Peace Cafe - Outside sign - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Came here based on the high star reviews but didn't get the experience I was expecting. First was greeted with "Do you know what you want?", not really the first words I'm expected to be greeted with at a cafe. Coffee was so weak, I ended up going to my usual spot afterwards to get my caffeine fix. The veggie bagel sandwich was ok but could've used more pesto since that's where most of the salt was coming from. They open at 7:30 but things weren't all set out by the time I went which was confusing. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend. read more

This cafe is a solid spot for grabbing a coffee and getting some work done. I got a salted caramel latte iced, and it was a decent latte. I enjoyed the almond croissant, which the barista was nice enough to heat up without me having to request it. I went during the summer and the AC + dark ambiance was a perfect respite from the unwavering heat. I loved the wood decor, from the bookshelf to tables and chairs. read more

Cozy, christmas, library-vibe cafe that lives up to it's name! Gives off a timely, relaxing & peaceful ambiance. The interior is dim, slightly dark with soft warm light. Chairs and tables are of dark wood. I'm more of a brightly-lit cafe type of person, but on winter days, this is the perfect spot for a cozy study session for me. There were many outlets on the wall & most tables are flushed to the wall. There are shelves with plenty of books and some games. It wasn't crowded when I came. There was soft jazz music playing. This probably isn't the type of place you want to meet up with a group of friends and chitchat. Everyone in the cafe was very mindful, quiet, and speak in a low voice. Coffee & food was great. They have their own coffee beans. They also served baked goods & breakfast sandwiches. Great quiet spot to study & work or just read! Foresee myself coming here a lot this fall & coming winter. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop that's been flying under the radar. It was very quiet when I went- perfect place to go if you need to get some work done.

Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

I've been looking for a coffeeshop like this for a long, long, *long* time. I moved to the city 15 years ago and have been looking for a place like this since then. When I say a long time, I mean it! Time and Peace really lives up to the name--there's a pride flag in the window, some cute clock decor, and it's quiet and dark inside. Not too dark to read or work, but not too bright either. I'm rather photosensitive, so this is exactly what I want. Beyond that, the music playing every time I've visited has been precisely the nonvocal sort of thing I've been looking for; it seems to be a charming blend of jazz and classical, like what I'd hear on WRTI. The drinks are tasty, and I'm quite a fan of their specialty lattes. They do the basics well, too, with an iced coffee that's got some pleasant fruit and chocolate notes. Pastries are tasty, too. Cannot at all complain. Everyone I've interacted with has been super sweet and friendly, helpful and informative, willing to chat coffee with me. The only criticism I have is that I wish they were open later. I'm not at all a morning person and I'd love to be able to find a place to spend a day rather than just a morning. read more

Stopped in to get some work done and enjoy a cup of coffee. Went with the salted caramel latte and it wasn't overly sweet which was great.

Will definitely stop back in soon! read more

We went at 3:30pm, looking for a quiet afternoon recharge after walk around the Independence Mall. The place is very charming and darkish. There were four other patrons and they all looked like they were working. It was close to their closing time but we didn't feel like we were rushed. I ordered the tea (Harney & Sons) so it wasn't anything special. My partner ordered a latte and he liked it. read more
