    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.

    Front window, before the crowd arrived. Lots of seating behind.

    Great name! Great coffees! Great vibes! Wonderful place with a home feel in heart of city. Loved the personalized service.

    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.

    Great Style, great coffee, warm and cozy. I like the historical feelings! Great place to read and work! Neighborhood friendly

    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!

    Love the ambiance and watching them make the drink right there in front of you. Service is great and although not pictured, their pastries hit the spot too:

    Great cafe with great coffee. I like the space too. It's kind of rustic yet cozy. I also loved the fact that you can come here and swap books. Great place for a book date or even to simply hang out. I cant wait to make my way back here!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    My family and I got breakfast at Enswell during our stay in Philadelphia. This swanky, hip place…read moreoffers up elevated tasty food and superb service in an exquisitely decorated, albeit small, cafe. We braved negative degree weather for the roughly 10 minute walk from our hotel. We walked in at a good time. This is the type of place where a reservation for breakfast would be required. We were sat immediately. The dining area is tight. A green velvet bench, marble tables, metal chairs, all packed into a small area. You could very well have your butt brush over the table of the patrons next to you if you have to get up for any reason. It's tight. Our server was around quickly. He was super friendly and kept things conversational, light and sophisticated. My wife ordered an iced latte, I had their hot drip coffee. For a starter, we had to try the cinnamon knot bread. While it wasn't what we were expecting, it was good. Although, we wouldn't order again. The bread is presented as a small loaf, room temperature with a cold cream cheese icing drizzled over top. The bread had a mild cinnamon flavor and was dry. It lacked the sweet, moist dough you expect from a cinnamon bread. My wife ordered the French style omelet. This had gruyere cheese and chives. Beautifully plated, perfectly cooked and the taste was spot on. It was good enough to forget that she paid $21 for just an omelet, no meat, no sides. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Pretty standard here. The eggs had bright orange yolks which is common for farm fresh eggs. The "coffee" hollandaise didn't come across with a coffee flavor but it was rich and went well with the ham and English muffins. One thing that stuck with me was their drip coffee. Not sure if it has been a while since I had a light roast but the Rival Bros. Revolver coffee was so good, I got a bag of whole beans to bring back home with me. I may even order it again online. Enswell succeeded on all fronts. The ambiance and service was great. The decor, impeccable. The food, thoughtful and tasty. The details from the silverware to the plates added to the experience. We would come back.

The crab fries and garlic bread are no skips. I hope to come back to try more food! We were lucky to get a table, the hostess was really nice and even found us outside to let us know we could make it! It does get really busy so I felt a bit rushed out but it was all good.

We ordered our drinks on the walk there and we hoped they would be ready when we arrived. When we walked in the time changed to add about 15 min on which was a bit annoying however we were not in a rush so we calmly waited. I got the hot matcha latte and it was really good. I like only a drop of sweetener bc I like to taste the matcha. I like it served temperature hot (not warm)- and this drink arrived exactly the way I like it. Would def come back for another one. My bf got some kind of coffee w cardamom in it (sorry I forget which kind - I'm not a coffee drinker and they all sound the same to me ha). He really enjoyed his drink. He had a BOGO coupon so we each actually got 2 drinks. I planned to take my second one home but the drink was so good I drank both of them ha. Will def be back again.

It's the fanciest looking coffee house I ever visited, there's outside seating which is nice and the inside is lit up with warm yellow lighting throughout, very spacious with tables and wicker like chairs. It seems like a great spot to meet up with a friend or to visit, find a corner read or work. It looks like a family establishment, as I noticed there were children behind the register, a young man, maybe 10 years old took my order and did a great job doing so! Bravo! I purchased a vanilla hot matcha latte and a pistachio milk cake, the total was about $21!!! This price was expensive, visiting establishment like this often is not feasible to my budget but there's so much more I need to try so I'll be back. The matcha was amazing, actually the most authentic I've tried!!! And the pistachio milk cake was delicious, being a person who literally puts milk on cake lol, this was amazing!!! It wasn't too sweet and the pistachio gave balance! The slice is enough to share or split for 2 servings, which is what I did. Bottom line, I'll be back! I'd love to try their coffee and another pastry and possibly sit outside on a nice day. Please visit and enjoy!!!
