Coffee Shops near Clifton Heights

“Nothing really everything is good“

“Tried to go to wendys multiple times after hours. Both restaurants say they're open til midnight but only McDonald's is.if you're hungry late night go to McDonald's cause if you try wendys they will either say they're closed or that they're out of food which is the responses they have given me multiples times after hours.“

“The service was phenomenal. The food, delicious. Best italian restaurant in Philly, the closest thing I've seen so far to an authentic italian restaurant in Philly (I stayed in Italy for 6 weeks). We got the tiramisu and gelato, and we got the carbonara and pappardelle al ragù. All of it was just so good. I wanna come back again, but I need to save up for it because it was very pricey. But worth it.“

“Food is great very creative I’d recommend the shrimp taco, new favorite place drinks are good too not watered down like other places. Service here is awesome. Leah is great our second visit she remembered my name she treats her regulars like we visit everyday. At one point I thought she was the owner bc she does such a great job running the place. This is now my favorite place to go.“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“This is one of my favorite places to get work done near Penn/Drexel’s campus. The atmosphere is great, with a mix of sunlight and greenery as well as areas that are more removed for a less distracting environment. Would definitely reccomend the food, as well. Especially an egg white and cheese croissant!“

“Great coffee, great staff, and books! It is an unbeatable combination to de stress and unwind. Keep it up!“

“I think this might be my favorite café on the east coast?Every once in a while I stumble upon a coffee gem randomly and that’s exactly what happened on this Philly trip.Ordered a pour over and asked the staff to make me whatever they suggest. I was not expecting to have one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. When the staff mentioned, “notes of bergamot,” I didn’t take him seriously but my mind was seriously blown on the first sip. Never had that flavor in a coffee before (I drink and try a lot of coffee) and I’ve been thinking about it for the past week. Loved it so much, had to order something else.Also got a cinnamon roll because I saw people loved it. Thought it was good, but also thought it was like any other laminated pastry LOL will probably order it again though.What I loved about the staff was their knowledge and interest in coffee. In fact, I just went to a cafe in nyc hoping for the same experience. Ordered a coffee tasting flight, but got no explanation about what was from where or anything else and kept comparing it to my time at Thank You Thank You.If you love coffee, this is your spot.“

“Update: originally posted my unfortunate experience and the owners response here was prompt and understanding. I am amending my review in light of their response because it shows that they do care for patrons and our concerns. i will not contact further because i did not post the review for some freebies but for the principle of appropriate response to customer concerns.I recommend ANY of their cupcakes because they are always on point. their cookies are big and beautifully delicious. cinnamon roll is good. iced coffee hits the spot!i’ve had the hangover sandwich, the mccrumb, waffle hash and breakfast burrito and i just find it really awesome that they feature other vegan restaurants food. that’s innovative and great for trying different options with each bakery purchase.if you love cannolis get the large otherwise the mini will do the trick!chocolate and confetti cake are a GREAT gift for any last minute parties!parking sucks but there’s nothing the business can do about it. i would do dine in more often if there was easier parking in the area because the decor is very fun. they take apple pay.Snippet of my original review:i buy here very often. i buy cakes for birthdays, uber eats for delivery and do pick up.for the first time, i had an issue and i told an employee and their response was indifferent. […] my solution: use the BOGO on uber eats when selling treats that their quality might not be up to par with usual standard and take customers concerns seriously.Vegetarian options: all vegan!!!Parking: parking is the worst. i would go there more often if parking was accessible.“

“Cherry Street Cafe has the kindest, most attentive people working there. I have constant stomach troubles and the staff has always been attentive and adaptive when it comes to the foods I can eat/modifying dishes so I can still enjoy them.Dietary restrictions: The crew behind the counter will sub in anything you think you might need, and has even been so kind as to remember my substitutions when I forgot to mention them! Thanks guys!“

“Clean minimal shop with quality matcha products and great ice cream.Strawberry and earl grey swirl are my current go to after dinner in Chinatown, however it is a seasonal flavor so get it while you can. I’ve also had the hojicha float which was refreshing and had a deep roasted nutty flavor with an edge of bitterness.What I enjoy most about this place is the typical Asian compliment when it comes to dessert “not so sweet”.Surreal is quite trendy but I find myself becoming quickly tired of it due to amount, all the toppings, and just the overall sweetness of the ice cream whereas matcha Maiko has the perfect amount of sweetness to remind you it’s a treat but not to the point where halfway through you feel like need water or tea to tone down the sugar“

“I lived in Seattle for almost two decades and will admit to being a bit of a coffee shop snob. The Nook hits so many of my high points. Extremely good locally roasted coffee (in-house!). Amazing baked goods. The cocoa coffee bread must be tried, but leave me a slice! Great staff. If I ever move out of the neighborhood, I'll journey to the Nook for a great cup and bite.“

“The desserts were delicious. I had two; mango mousse and lychee panna cotta. Both delicious. They both come with ice cream. Service was excellent!“

“Excellent bagels, but at times Nick is out of certain selections, especially when busy.“

“The breakfast burrito was so good“

“The desserts were delicious. I had two; mango mousse and lychee panna cotta. Both delicious. They both come with ice cream. Service was excellent!“

“Everyone working there is Super friendly. Today I got a healthier version of a rice crispy and it blew my mind. One day I’ll make it there early enough to get a donut!! Can’t wait. Fresh coffee“

“Located in the heart of Chinatown, another establishment that doesn't take credit cards. Instead payment is via Venmo. So I guess that great since you don't need to pay tax. They have a limited selection of baked goods (see photos) and drinks. Menu is a bit chaotic to read (but this is Chinatown). Baked items are very fresh. Limited seating inside though. Prices are cheap for this economy.“

“I love this coffee shop in Fairmount! Awesome owners, moonraker specialty coffee and a perfect spot to catch up with a friends or relax. Pup friendly (wish I could bring my knuckleheads but love seeing the dogs come through). Highly highly recommend!“

“I've always had good baked goods here - it's becoming a traditional stop when we come to the city! Best things I've had here are the maple oatmeal scones and the brown butter pound cake - phenomenal! What baked goods are supposed to taste like!“

“A pastry shop, a beacon of delight,Where morning treats turn dawn into bright.Two souls, prompt and kind,In every task aligned,Make breakfast fare a memorable sight.Croissants cradle eggs and prosciutto alike,A harmony of flavors that make us psyche.Coffee rich, price fair,In this haven rare,Perfection this place does strike.“

“Delicious mocha and espresso. One of the best espressos I’ve had in the city. Cute atmosphere. Def recommend“

“I've tried Top Hat Coffee Lounge by the UPenn campus, but I'm glad I discovered this new location! It's definitely hidden within a plaza and is situated within the walkway as you exit Saks Fifth Avenue. While the space is small, there is still plenty to order in terms of drinks and several pastries as well. The staff greeted us with a very warm welcome and was patient while we decided on our drinks. My friend and I both ordered oat matcha lattes, which were delicious and tasted like high-quality matcha as we were told :) The added perk is that he did not charge us for substituting our milk with oat milk, so thank you for that!“

“A great place. Been open many years. Recently on TV for their Anniversary. Sometimes crowded but they are quick and move fast. You can get breakfast sandwiches all day which is a plus. Coffee very good, another plus. Only takes cash, no big deal to me. Grew up in South Philly and local neighborhood places the same. Got scrapple, egg & cheese, bacon, egg & cheese, peppers , egg & cheese. All outstanding. Owner Bruce and his wife working up front, working, greeting and monitoring everything.“

“Good coffee and the baristas seem nice and approachable. Not a cafe I would hang out in, but I prefer that it's an easy and friendly grab and go spot. Lots of good drinks and snacks to come back and try. And it's not too expensive which is appreciated. Don't forget to tip too! :)“

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!“

“Nice crew that makes good food and GF too.“

“A neighborhood staple, and a great example of how a cultural melting pot like South Philly offers a cross sample of delicious food from different parts of the world. Neighborhood family-owned and operated. The sausage egg and cheese croissant and fruit pastries are a “

“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“

“Great dim sum! And baby bok choy, spice eggplant and soup dumplings!“

“Delicious food, fresh ingredients, tasty coffee, and friendly service. My husband and I stopped in for our first visit and loved everything we ordered. You can tell they put a lot of care and attention into the quality of the ingredients and the options on the menu. We've officially found our local go-to breakfast spot!“

“We checked out the Ground Up Cafe & Coffee shop last week in South Philly.This a great little coffee shop on East Passyunk. The decor was simple and fun with just a hint of an European vibe. Bistro seating was available inside and outside. It was very comfortable overall.The menu offered many choices from prepared sandwiches to baked goods. I wasn’t planning on eating, but then I saw scones - I had to try one. Cranberry - and it was delicious! The coffee was also very good (definitely made note of that for the next time I am in the neighborhood). The barista was also very pleasant.This is a great café to try while out and about shopping on East Passyunk. I’ll be back!#trustkj“

“Gong cha is solidly okay boba - nothing to write home about but their tapioca is a good texture of chewy but not to chewy. The teas are too sweet for me at regular sweetness, so I recommend getting 50% sugar (regular is 75%). The service at this location is and a drink will average $7-8 with tax. They share the space with a to-go sushi restaurant and have a few tables inside, so you can grab dinner and a drink and sit and eat.“

“What a wonderful place! The staff is very kind and informative about their goals of working with the local rescue to find these babies homes. I appreciate all they do for these animals it’s awesome!“

“The food was great but took a little while to bring out. It was okay because the service was amazing and everyone was very nice. The outdoor patio makes it really worth it either way fun games and a really nice ambiance. Would recommend for gatherings.“

“incredible service by incredible people“

“We are really lucky to have a great food place like Platform Z in Bala Cynwyd. Their poke is delicious and also had a taste of their ramen which was so comforting and tasty! Please make sure to check them out and try everything on the menu :)“

“Lovely little neighborhood coffee spot. Delicious coffee, great service, cute atmosphere....and it always smells *amazing*!I can't speak to the bakery section due to a gluten allergy, but my friends who have eaten here say the food is really good!“

“as long as quality coffee exists, cold wet gray days don’t make for the severe downer that they could be. stopped here before walking to Center City. ordered a large Americano—carefully crafted by the barista who took my order. the coffee was smooth and deep in flavor…served super hot which is a necessity on those chilly sun-less days. the service was pleasant. tbh, if i didn’t have a lunch destination, i would’ve ordered one of the signature liege waffle which look good. the cafe / coffee shop has plenty of seating with a warm yet modern feel whether you’re working, studying, or just need a moment of respite from the din of life. look forward to stop here during warmer days!“

“Everything about Winkel was amazing: gluten free options, friendly staff, and tastes that had our table quiet due to the savoring. My niece loved the giant hot chocolate and waffle. My sister had the eggs Benedict with artichokes (can't remember its menu name), and she couldn't get over how many artichokes were included--and she thought the hollandaise was perfect. I had a breakfast sandwich one day and the Waldorf salad the next day. The salad dressing - a mustard vinegarette was tangy and delicious. The gluten free bread on my breakfast sandwich was like BREAD and the eggs, gouda, and thick-cut bacon were an amazing combo with the potatoes and salad. The Waldorf salad was flavorful and amazing. We went to Winkel two days in a row because we loved it so much. Get there if you're in Philly!“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The matcha latte was honestly the best quality I have ever tasted! All the food we ordered wasn't too sweet, and the matcha flavor itself was delicious! I was wary of a matcha overload, but it was perfect. The atmosphere is adorable too, and the matcha was in a cute green cup. I admire how even the ice cream cone wasn't the generic too-sweet cone. My kid brother loved the stuffed animals, and we will definitely come back!! ?“

“A true marriage between a coffee shop and cocktail bar. They serve traditional café fare here, as well as signature flavored lattes, craft coffee drinks, and many cocktails with a coffee or tea twist. Every week, there's also a new special on the menu. They also allow guests to bring food, so you can cozy up with a drink and some bites and hang out late into the night (which we have done many times!)Vegetarian options: Almost all drinks are vegetarian, and vegan milk alternatives are available upon request.“

“Quaint full-service restaurant with Ethiopian food. About half the food is Ethiopian, and the other half is (American) sandwiches and soup. I got the sega alecha (beef stew). Came with injera bread (a sour, spongy flat bread made from teff). Definitely different from the usual fare.“

“I got two large and two small cannolis. One each were tiramisu and one each were traditional they were pretty good. The tiramisu was very very strong, but very delicious. I’ll definitely be back. The only thing is the prices were a little steep. Still really good and the staff are super friendly.“

“10/10 do recommend. Excellent pup cup served. Filled to the top and swirled with love. Non dairy so belly doesn’t get upset. Mom loves their coffee and generally picks up some baked goods as well. I can generally convince her to share. My favorite is the lemon cake.“

“I wanted to check out a new coffee shop a couple months ago after moving nearby, and was drawn in by the very friendly staff. Will and Dom in particular are fantastic and get to know you by name. The coffee is fantastic and best bagels in philly no doubt. I drive from Mannyunk as often as I can to hang there!“

“My favorite coffee place in the gayborhood. They make artisan coffee and eve have ethically sourced brews easily available. Habit has the kindest staff who are incredibly patient and understanding . Dogs are allowed inside which is a huge plus and the pastries are “

“So this place has a lot going for it but it can be better. What's good: - Deserts and pastry's are excellent. - Coffee and barista skills are superior to the other shops in media - styling and layout of the shop is unique, fun, and inviting What needs work : order execution - On two separate visits the quiche was not heated enough and there were cold spots. (They graciously fixed it though) - One time they gave me an oat milk latte instead of a whole milk latte. (Again they fixed it. ) -During yet another visit I waited 10 minutes for a latte...not because they forgot or were busy but because the orders in front of me had to be redone because they were wrong. It's a great place and I hope the owner reads this review to improve the training of the employees.“

“Coffee is great and their caprese on a croissant is even better!“

“Excellent place to eat and drink (coffee, lattes, etc.). Ordered a SEC with 3 eggs ($8) as well as a 16 oz sugar free latte ($4.75). Both tasted great! Park in the tiny lot behind the building on Delaware Street or in front of the building (side entrance and exit) on S. Broad.“
