Vibrant feels like the perfect neighborhood coffee shop. The space is tiny, but somehow they turn out excellent coffee and an impressive amount of freshly baked goods every day. The staff is always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a cheerful, genuinely local feel. The cinnamon bun is outrageously good, truly about as good as it gets. Everything I've had here has been delicious, but that one is reason enough to stop in. Grab one with a coffee and walk over to Rittenhouse Square. read more

Wasn't a huge fan of the iced chai latte, was just a glass of cinnamon milk, but the brioche sandwhich was really good and I would absolutely get that again. Barista was really nice. Limited indoor and outdoor seating (3 barstools inside, a couple tables outside) but if you can snag it, a chill place to work for a couple hours. read more

I like the feel of this coffee shop and they have a lot of fun options. I got there around 11am on a Saturday and there was a long line out the door, but it moved quickly. I wanted a breakfast sandwich but they were out, so hopefully I can try that next time! I instead ordered a ham & cheese croissant, which was very tasty but I wished they would've warmed it up. I also got a mocha latte which was really good as well! The cashier was really friendly and sweet, and there is no seating inside but there's some right outside. I also got a loaf of their sourdough flavor of the week, which was white chocolate macadamia. The flavor was very good but the outside was slightly burnt. I had a mostly good experience but some things could've been done just a little better! read more

One of my husband and my favorite cafes to walk to! The workers are kind as well! He has gotten and enjoyed the cookie butter latte, blueberry lavender latte, and the PSL! I just got an iced tea which is pretty hard to mess up! Not pictured but really enjoyed their cinnamon roll! Their bagels were just okay for me... with bagel places so close by... id probably only get another bagel here for convenience. read more

Vibrant Coffee Roasters & Bakery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Vibrant is conveniently located right off Rittenhouse Square. The shop is very, very small with very limited indoor seating (about 4 counter seats), so it works best if you're picking up something to go. They do have sidewalk tables though if the weather is nice. The space is clean and they have a restroom for customers. I stopped in on a cold Sunday morning, and it wasn't too crowded. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and my order was ready quickly. The shop seemed to have many regulars that the employees recognized, and it's definitely a dog friendly spot. I managed to grab a counter seat, but it wasn't super comfortable, and I constantly had people standing over me while waiting for their orders since there was nowhere else for them to stand. I ordered the Lucky Charms Bronut, which was a fun special for St. Patrick's Day. It was fresh and tasted good, but I expected the filling to be much sweeter than it actually was. Definitely more bun than sugary donut. I also ordered the Cherry Hazelnut Iced Latte, which was a monthly special. I was disappointed to not really taste cherry or hazelnut in it. The coffee was good quality, but I didn't get the flavors I expected. If you prefer your baked goods and iced lattes on the less sweet end of the spectrum, this is definitely your place, but my sweet tooth was a little disappointed. read more

Got a hot pistachio pistachio latte (pistachio flavoring with pistachio milk--love that this was a milk option) and it was pretty good. Think there was a tad too much syrup, not that I'm upset about the strong pistachio flavor, but the syrup amount prolly would've been better with the large cup of coffee. Love that it's house-made syrup as well. Good latte for pistachio lovers. read more

I ordered an iced cookie butter latte from their specialties list and it was about $7.25, which was unexpectedly pricey. The latte was sweet and tasted pretty good. The inside of the shop has very little seating and there is minimal outdoor seating. The drinks are made quite quickly. read more

If you're in the Rittenhouse Square area, Vibrant Coffee Roasters is THE PLACE to get your coffee (then walk it to the park if it's nice outside; this is not really a place you sit inside at, and while there are a few tables outside you're literally just a minute from a nicer atmosphere then "generic city sidewalk"). I can't speak to any of the baked goods, there weren't any vegan options. The Signature Lattes are where they shine (seriously, look through other reviews), and they change with the season. When we first came it was early summer, and we tried the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte and Cookie Butter Latte both iced with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso. SO GOOD. When it comes to lattes, personally I think you've always got to add an extra shot (in this case, the drink as is comes with two shots - again, that's just not enough caffeine for me). It adds more of that coffee flavor (and Vibrant roasts an exceptional bean - I regret not buying a bag!) and cuts back on the sugaryness of the flavoring. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte tasted like the milk leftover from a bowl of cereal! The Cookie Butter Latte was somehow both sweet AND savory, and for sure my favorite of the two. Our drinks took a little longer to come out than other folks in line (again, because of all the espresso) and there's no real place to wait, so we were just sort of in everyone's way. It seems like regulars here don't mind though, they're in and out so fast. I appreciate there was a bathroom to use while we waited too! read more

Some of the best coffee of my life, genuinely. So so good! Such a cute & welcoming shop too

Hands down my favorite latte spot in the city! (So far) Their mocha tastes like chocolate milk; the cookie butter latte tastes like you dunked a Boscoff cookie into milk and coffee; the maple pumpkin spice was cinnamony and you could taste a bit of pumpkin! (but could've used stronger maple in my opinion) The place is very small so be prepared to grab and go. They sometimes have seats outside when the weather is nice! read more

Great lavender latte (iced)! Only thing is I think my latte had oat milk though I asked for almond milk:( not sure though, I could be wrong!

A cute little spot near Rittenhouse, I got the maple pumpkin iced latte and it was good. Small interior and they have some small tables outside. They had some other interesting specialty lattes flavors I was intrigued by. read more

I recently went here to get a cup of coffee on a weekend trip to Philadelphia and got the cookie butter latte as it sounded intriguing. Vibrant Coffee is extremely small-it only fits about five customers at a time. The cookie butter latte was fine but I could barely taste the cookie butter. The latte was also extremely expensive (over $8 for 16 ounces with non-dairy milk). read more

A super tiny coffee shop, like 4 seats, and a whole late people. We got in on a weekend morning and it was super busy. Their baked goods seems to be sourdough themed: sourdough bagels, sourdough croissants and sourdough bread. They also have a bunch of fun latte flavours as well. Spiced orange mocha - reminiscent of the Mexican hot chocolate. It was good with balanced flavour of chocolate, spices and orange, not much sweetness. As a coffee drink, this would work with a select audience. Cinnamon roll - A unit of a cinnamon roll with lots of icing on top, nice! Other than that didn't feel like it had anything else unique, but still pretty solid pastry. Apple Brie danish - On paper a delicious combo. Sourdough was pastry here was interesting, incorporated more complex flavour but also made the dough a bit harder. It felt like there was not enough Brie in the pastry. read more

Favorite coffee in the city! Incredible pastries, bread and staff! Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte is unmatchable!

***This is a review of the coffee beans I picked up at Vibrant*** I walked into a nice little coffee shop in Rittenhouse square on the recommendation of one of my friends. I wanted to get some beans for my new coffee machine (sorry coffee shops, I am now an at home coffee machine addict). I picked up some expresso beans which smelled amazing (I smelled the peach and chocolate type smell the beans have to offer). The beans tasted really silky in the cappuccinos I made. Hopefully, I can be a real coffee aficionado and go into more details into the flavor profile. read more

This place has a great atmosphere, great coffee aroma as you walk in makes you want to get a cup the minute you walk past the door. If the smell doesn't get to you, then the desserts and that little bakery of those breads and bagels they have displayed will. Vibrant's menu is impressive with the different flavors you can enjoy a cup of coffee. You know we all love those seasonal blends! What more can you ask for? Personally, any establishment that shows a great deal of patience with a smile to boot, will always win me over. That will make customers want to come back, and you know they will tell others. That is the best advertisement right there, word of mouth... other than Yelp of course. Variety is a choice of life is what I like say, so please go inside take in their unique decor, and enjoy a cup, or a bite. You can even do both if you want, no pressure. With kind regards, ~Nando read more

Cute shop by Rittenhouse Square with limited outdoor seating and even fewer seats indoors. Ideal for to-go orders unless you can snag a table. The coffee was good with interesting latte specials. They have a bakery here so the pastries are nice and fresh! we were lucky to try their Pumpkin cheesecake bronut which was sweet and delicious! it can get busy so we didnt really linger long. It was great that it was so close to the park so you can take your goodies there while you stroll. Love the Vibrant colors here btw! read more

I am updating review because my husband walked back to try to get some kind of refund for the items and was able to get some partial refund for three of the croissants and the two sandwiches with kid bites out of them. They wouldn't refund the loaf as it left the establishment. It was something, and it was appreciated. Thank you for that. read more

Vibrant is really good! The staff are fast, have yummy pastries, and pretty good coffee. The space is small (so I recommend getting to go and hanging out in the park!), which can make waiting a bit difficult. A heads up - the lattes are sweet sweet. If you don't like them super sweet, get half the sauce/syrup. Also, the cold brew is pretty good and great if you just want a good ol' faithful caffeine hit and not a fun coffee treat. read more

I love the name of this shop and it fits their unique offerings. I love the sourdough that they use for their pastries and bagels. I've enjoyed their rotating lattes with homemade syrups. One of my favorites is the Irish one with almond and mocha sauce. read more

Had a great experience at Vibrant! It is a great grab-and-go option with very little sit down space. There is no inside seating, but there are a few tables outside. There was a small line that moved quickly and the staff was super friendly! I ordered a seasonal drink - the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte. It was delicious!

Worth a visit, especially if you are grabbing a coffee on the way to the Rittenhouse Square farmers market across the street! read more

Incredible coffee and incredible service. Been shopping with them online for years and am always impressed with the selection and service!

Tiny but mighty shop. From listening to others while waiting for my order, it sounds like they have a lot of regulars. They even knew the order of one of them without needing to ask. There's not much room inside, so if there's more than 3 people waiting, you'll probably need to line up outside. Along with the tables outside, theres a park nearby, so if it's nice outside, there's plenty of spots to people watch with your coffee. All I had was a gingerbread latte, which was good. I was heading to the Reading Terminal Market, so I didn't try any of their food, so I can't speak to that. I could definitely see myself coming back if I was in town. Good coffee and pleasant yet quick service read more

A hole in the wall, the ambiance could definitely be improved upon. While service wasn't mean, they definitely weren't friendly. We bought a bag of beans, a chai, and an oat latte. The drinks weren't white warm, and the chai, though I asked for it just just be slightly sweetened, was a bit too sweet. Hopefully the beans are better than our experience in store. read more

Vibrant Coffee Roasters & Bakery - Oat milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Excellent local coffee shop. There is a lot of art and color inside. The menu is extensive for coffee, tea, and breakfast options. I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk. It was delicious - not too sweet and perfect earthy lavender flavor. We tasted a sample of their famous sourdough bread, which is made in house. There is a giant storyboard inside about how the sourdough is made, including a 'resting' period of over 21 hours. It was delicious. Had we not just eaten, I would've ordered a pastry or sandwich. There is some counter seating, but it was sort of in the way of the line, so I can imagine it's hard to "dine in" here. Everyone we saw was taking their items to go. We did as well. read more

I loved the coffee. I got a small hot latte with vanilla and oat milk and it was so good that I wished that I had a larger size. The reason that I pulled this review from five stars to four is because the counter where you can add milk, sugar, and where you put the lid on your drink has been dirty The last couple times I've been in. I wish I took a picture but this past time there were open boxes taking up a majority of the counter, and then the remainder looks like it had not been wiped down in quite a few days. It was dirty, Sticky from sugars and liquid mixing, and it was just not a great site to see. The coffee was good, but the cleanliness could be better read more

Went in today for an afternoon coffee and was so impressed! I really enjoyed my Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte with oat milk. So often lattes are ruined by extra sweet syrups, but not this time! This had the right amount of honey, cinnamon, and coffee and together the taste was epic! My friend got a lavendar latte and raved about it as well. Great Baristas who were extremely helpful and gave honest and accurate suggestions based on what we described we were crazing.

What a great coffee shop! There's a cool menu, with interesting hot and cold drinks, as well as an impressive array of baked goods. Definitely some unique options here, including their seasonal drinks (cinnamon toast crunch latte, anyone?). I had a lavender latte, and was very happy, both with the quality of the roast and the flavors in the drink. Super subtle, and not sweetened to death. The inside is small, so a line can form out the door from just a handful of customers, but the staff keeps things moving relatively quickly. It took me about ten minutes to get my drink, and I got on line when there were 3-4 of us standing out front. Definitely check this place out, it's a great option for grabbing refreshments to bring to nearby Rittenhouse Square! read more

This Vibrant Coffee location is the size of a breadbox, with light sidewalk seating. It's a stone's throw away from Rittenhouse Square Park - the BEST outdoor seating. If you choose to sit inside, be prepared for hustle and bustle when coffee demand goes up. The coffee? It's tasty - shout out to barista Grace for the delicious cortados!

#1 BAGEL of all time lives in Philly! Was scouring Yelp for a last minute breakfast spot before my daughter had to leave for work. I had all but given up hope, as the clock ticked closer to 8:30am. At the very last second, I found Vibrant only a couple blocks from my hotel in Rittenhouse. After a quick walk through the park, we found it. Being originally from the Bay Area in California, sourdough bread is my favorite, and am always excited to find it in other cities across the US. These guys apparently specialize in sourdough bagels and bread, which was a pleasant surprise. I went ahead and ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and a latte. My daughter got a peach cobbler bun and an OJ. When my bagel arrived, it was smallish and unimpressive looking, really didn't look like anything special. I already ordered it though, so may as well eat it. EYES WIDE OPEN! I had just bitten into the perfect bagel. Chewy with just the right amount of crispness. The small, thin size lent itself to the perfect ratio of bread to outer shell. The everything seasoning was perfectly balanced as well. Not too oniony or garlicky, not too much of any one seasoning, and no unwanted things either. I'm not 100% sure, but the cream cheese seemed homemade as well, with just the right amount of firmness but soft enough to spread. A hint of salt in the "everything " mix and cream cheese. Words can't do it Justice, just know after I ate half, I went back to the counter and ordered a package of 6 to take home. My daughters peach cobbler bun was light and airy. Complex, not thick and clunky. OJ was fresh and latte was bold flavored. Every item at Vibrant, literally woke up the senses, making this spot aptly named. The service was pretty chill, not a lot of smiles, but hey it was early. Regardless... Congratulations Philly, a city known for having the best cheesesteaks actually houses an even more impressive, elite bagel. read more

Unbelievably overrated, and overpriced. Had a 6.25 sourdough almond croissant, it was no bussing.
