After moving to the area I’ve been able to check out various cafes, but this one is at the top of my list! Exceptional coffee, environment, and hospitality. Incredible book selection paired with unique coffee / matcha options.

Went here on a tour and the look of the place was like a upscale apartment, it has books, coffee, more modern decor, purses and great art on the walls. Nice place to have a coffee, relax, study etc. Definitely a good place to drop by #coffee #bookstore #books #cafe #shopping

I just want them to make my coffee and design my apartment 😭 the cappuccino is the smoothest that I've had in Philly and the decorum is exquisite. The price is very affordable for a cappuccino and it's CONSISTENTLY well made, which is rare for a coffee shop. Not to mention they're open on Christmas when everyone else is closed and I appreciate that. My 5 year old and I go and sit here for hours and write and read and laugh. It's an amazing atmosphere.

This place is perfect for book and coffee lovers. I love how they have a selection of art from local artists. They space for people to work. Strawberry Oats Espresso was full of interesting flavors which had right price.

It is one of the most distinguished places I’ve ever visited. The attention to detail and depth of character are truly exceptional. I love the coffee and the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere:)
