50 Best Coffee Shops near Glenside

“I frequently ate at Elcy's Café and had coffee there. It's a convenient local coffee shop where you can grab breakfast before your commute. The environment is both professional and welcoming. I had a great time at Elcy's Café. The only thing I dislike about this place is how pricey it can get. All things considered, though, this is a fantastic neighborhood café with stuff available.“

“Good ice cream, nice people. Pricing was...Well, $6 for one scoop of ice cream with a cup or cone. No toppings. Mind you, the ice cream wasn't bad, but there was really nothing special about it.It is a local business, so I understand.I got mint brownieBasically mint with brownie chunksIt was goodThey have cool conesThere's a blue oneParking: Parking is fine, you can park in the street or in a parking lot with a 60-ish second walk away.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, staff politeWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, steep steps. Not that it helps, but there is a kinda rough sidewalk that could get a wheelchair to outside of it“

“I really like this coffee shop. The food is great, you don't feel rushed when looking at all of the flavors that they have, and it feels like home. It can feel a little bit messy upon your first time with everything there, but it's a small shop so it can get a bit cluttered.“

“I go to the Easton Rd Dunkin Donuts only for the Baskin Robins desert. I love the flavors and the staff is always welcoming and attentive. We sit in and eat although dining area is small. We never have any trouble finding a seat. They have outside table available as well. Store is clean, bright and service is timely.“

“Delicious food and excellent flavor combinations. Much of the food is meat but I absolutely recommend for vegetarians. The cauliflower mezze was extremely well-flavored, the chickpea and eggplant mezze had fantastic texture, and the oyster mushroom kebab was one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had.“

“I have enjoyed this place since it opened! The staff is magnificent. They are personable and take care of you! The atmosphere is wonderful. It is a wood decor. There is not a lot of seating inside, but there is ample seating outside. There is a good size parking lot (approximately 15 spots) and more parking right out front. The food and coffee is wonderful!The lattes are not extremely sweet of the syrups I get. This is a preference of mine real and strong coffee locally roasted!“

“A cute pet-friendly cafe with a persimmon theme in Fishtown. It might be a popular spot in the neighborhood as it was busy on a Sunday morningSide note: My friend recommended me Drift Magazine for city coffee guide and I was excited to flip the physical copies there.We ordered latte and cappuccino. Very smooth coffee with a nutty espresso base. Well-frothed milk gave a creamy texture. Loved the latte art on top. The porcelain mugs and coasters they used were cute. Their pastries looked attractive to serve with coffee too.“

“Nestled in a cozy nook, this coffee spot offers a delightful variety of flavors. The friendly barista recommends the crowd favorite: a caramel black salt latte. It's not too strong coffee mild on mild side, but perfect blend of caramel sweetness and a hint of salt.“

“Really a unique experience. Food was amazing and fresh. Happy to see someone willing to take a risk with their food and not open a restaurant that's just like every other place in the area. There are plenty of pizza places around and they all serve the same restaurant depot food. Steel Penny is top notch!“

“Il Sorriso is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the city. The moment you step in, you're greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. Their espresso is bold and flavorful, and their pastries are delectable. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a relaxing atmosphere, Il Sorriso never disappoints.“

“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!“

“Absolute best bakery in Philly. Local gem run by the coolest/sweetest couple. Best bagels in the city and you can’t go wrong with anything else. Creative dairy and vegan options including the best croissants I’ve had outside of France. Get in line early if you want the goods!Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan selectionWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“I tried their Veggie Melt and it was delicious, we also had someone coming over and asking if we like the food (I believe he was the owner, but not sure).This just shows that they care for the quality of their dishes and also care about their customers!Everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese is my personal favorite!Vegetarian options: Veggie MeltsBagels and cream“

“We visited this great new coffee place in North Philadelphia on our way to New York. The fresh new owners have created a warm local coffee place that uniquely combines a fresh coffee or tea with lovely plants and other gifts. Must visit if you are in the area. We will sure be back..“

“Just moved into the neighborhood & decided to take a walk. I saw this tucked inside a little shopping center & now I regret it. Should have stuck with Dunkin Donuts bc after eating an everything bagel w/cream cheese from there, I’m addicted. I almost walked back for another one it was that good AND I don’t want to be addicted to another carb. Lol. I more than likely will get my fix tomorrow. Great customer service & very friendly. I have a new bagel place.“

“Small little restaurant that was pretty empty when we went on Thursday afternoon. Food came out fast. Green tea was a little mid Scallion pancakes had great flavor and texture 8/10 Shrimp rice wrapper was decent 7/10 The pork bun was huge, not exactly the size of 4 little buns but still a considerable amount. 6/10 Shrimp balls were fun. I'm used to the type with the little wonton flakes or whatever it is coming off of it but this had a soft exterior. Great amount of meat, good texture 9/10 My gf wanted to come here just because of the sticky rice and it was decent 7/10. Kind of what you can expect from looking at the picture“

“OMG, I just discovered this little spot tucked away in an office block. Absolutely the freshest food. I had a smoothie, amazing veggie panini and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. The ladies are lovely and service is top notch. All good and will be back when the opportunity “

“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!“

“Twisted Grounds has become our ultimate neighborhood hot stop – my partner and I can't get enough! Their peppermint mocha is hands down the best, and paired with their incredible pastries (seriously, that cinnamon roll!), it's a match made in heaven. Plus, our dog, Reese is a huge fan of their pup cups, and knowing that all proceeds go to Paws makes it even sweeter. Definitely worth checking out!Vegetarian options: Vegan pastries and alternative milk options“

“First time there I accidentally stumbled across it because of google maps .Highly recommend I had the Oreo shake it was freaking amazing.The owner was super friendly.Such a cute place to take your kids with seating arrangements for the family .“

“Sheryl and I are from Houston Area. We did a day trip up to Philadelphia and were looking for some small breakfast and coffee. As we walked through the streets, we were looking for some coffee and small breakfast... NON STARBUCKS. We love supporting local businesses no matter where we are at. We ran into this place and have to say we thoroughly enjoyed it! The atmosphere was great! The people were amazing! Everybody was friendly! Even being from out of town we felt very welcomed, and like this could be our Neighborhood coffee place! Wish you were down here! Thank you for your great service, great food and for making us feel so welcomed. If any of you reading this review go to Philadephia... go to Coffee Cream & Dreams and you will not regret it!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My partner booked Le Cat Cafe for my birthday and it was AWESOME! The staff is super sweet and knowledgeable, able to answer all your questions about the kitties, and helped my partner set up the food and beverage we brought in. There are SO MANY ADORABLE CATS, and I was able to play with/pet/admire all the sweeties. Highly recommend visiting, as they do very important work, between finding kitties their forever homes to TNR work.“

“My absolute favorite cafe in the neighborhood. They have the best tasting lattes and always have a new and inventive monthly special. My husband and I always look forward to the 1st of the month when they post their newest creation on Instagram! A huge plus is they have incredibly friendly staff.“

“I revisit Joy Cafe (which is the newest name/incarnation for Soy Cafe) whenever I'm in NoLibs. It always leaves me feeling incredibly healthy and happy. Soy/Joy Cafe is in my top two vegan restaurants in all of Philly. My favorite dish here is the ramen with BBQ seitan. The seitan is just so very tasty. Everything here, from the seitan, to the vegan cream cheese, is homemade. My husband gets the carrot lox sandwich which includes the housemade cream cheeze along with red onions, carrot lox, and more, on many choices of really excellent bread. Don't leave without getting a smoothie! I tend to get the Green Giant, but the Coco Loco is also really yummy. Eat in the back garden on a nice day!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Love this cafe!! My go to order is a cappuccino with oatmilk, sweet ricotta toast, and avocado ricotta toast. The toasts are always done really great-- bread is soft, ricotta is creamy, both avocado and fruit are so delicious. Everything is made with care. Space is great to catch up with friends or do some work. Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Tried Tous les Jours for the first time today and will definitely be a repeat customer. Cute, clean and bright ambiance the pastries were reasonably/competitively priced compared to other bakeries and delicious. Great selection and hard to pick just one. Good coffee drinks too. Employees were very friendly and helpful.“

“?Have kids? Then don’t miss the robot named Happy who will help deliver the food to your table and play music! Happy will put a smile ? on everyone.The atmosphere at Mama’s Diner is warm and inviting, even with the robot zooming around. The team working, works hard to make sure you have what you need. ?️Their breakfast options were good, and did not disappoint. The bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant is solid and filling on its own.Kid-friendliness: ✅Robot✅Ask about kids options/portions, at this time, we did not see a kids menu.“

“Charles is simply AMAZING. If you don’t know about the Garlic Knots, you need to. Salad comes with a Knot or you can order. Everything is fresh and Amazing. Thank you for bringing back delivery. Through third party companies. Thank you for great food, great hours and being great people!“

“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 is a gem, owned by a wonderful family. We've always felt welcomed, been well fed, and left happier than when we'd arrived. So thankful to live nearby!Vegetarian options: Always some great veg options on the menu, and several vegan offerings, but kitchen is well versed and can accommodate specific needs with great flavor. Always delicious and satisfying.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everyone is friendly and gets to know you! It’s dog friendly, and has the best food and coffee. Plus, the owner is always making DELICIOUS bakery items, and there’s something fresh and new to try all the time.The inside is cute and cozy, and a great spot to work or read. Just love this place! “

“10/10!! Today was the first time my husband and I visited Merenda. The first impression was the authenticity of everything from the coffee to the pastries and decor. We ordered the waffle sandwich and several pastries plus coffee. Everything was amazing. The stand out feature of this hidden gem is the beautiful spirit of those working behind the counter. We received the most sincere greeting upon entry and throughout our visit and were patiently helped with our selections. Well done! You've gained yourself new regulars.“

“Alhamdulillah this place serves some of my favorite food and drinks in one place. We had sushi, mocktails, morrocon tea, turkish mix kebab and USA burgers, everything tasted delicious. The staff are friendly. Our family is definitely going to return.“

“I love this atmosphere, and the people working with Felicia (she is wonderful)!The food is what I had been craving for since I have been shopping and walking for exercise there. All the dishes I have ordered are spectacular and Felicia!'s touch on everything! What a hard worker...my hats off to you and your family there!“

“The staff was really kind. The place is absolutely gorgeous and has a cozy vibe. The coffee is so delicious. The star is the giant cookies! They are buttery and soft and the chocolate flavor is pronounce but not over powering! I can’t wait to see what else they will offer!“

“My favorite spot to get work done, plus when i'm walking my dogs they let them come in while i order something to go and even have a treat jar! The caramel cream latte is divine and is my pick-me-up when i need one, and dont get me started on the pastries and desserts... I just tried the orange cream croissant which was unlike anything i've ever tried. They're little works of art that I like to pick up as a treat when I'm going to visit friends!“

“Giving this spot 5 stars across the board because I have no complaints and I absolutely love the vibe here. My drinks were good, however I did not get any food the three times I've been. The matcha latte was excellent and I really enjoyed the mocha latte!“

“I tried the bergamot latte and it's so refreshing! I've never had this flavor anywhere else which makes this cafe a little different from others. It can be quite small and there's an upstairs with a couple tables. I've seen that they used to have more seating in the past but half the space is a vinyl store, so it can be difficult to find seating. The barista was so friendly and welcoming too!“

“I usually place my orders online, but today I was nearby and really wanted to try a delicious impossible sausage breakfast sandwich. However, I wasn't aware that they only accept card payments. To my delight, the staff was kind enough to prepare the sandwich for me, and they even made me an iced mocha drink. The atmosphere of the place is fantastic, and the staff is very welcoming. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the delicious drink and sandwich.“

“It’s a great experience from the jump! As soon as you walk in Ms. Bre welcomes you with a smile and is so accommodating when it comes to her flavors! This place is such a sweet treat (pun included) to the neighborhood I grew up in. (: I look forward to many years to come!“

“Stopped into Thunder Mug Cafe for a pick me up yesterday. I understand why it was named Philly's favorite coffee house. Apparently everyone else heard the news, too. The place was packed! The service was friendly and efficient and my iced SF caramel coffee and beignet were delish! Google review coming!“

“I’ve been meaning to try this place for awhile and I’m glad I stopped in! Very friendly and accommodating staff and the owner was so welcoming and kind. He spent the time to greet my baby and me and even made a complimentary Greek yogurt and fruit dish for my baby. The food was so fresh and delicious. The coffee was very good as well. Felt like a small town cafe. Will be coming back every time I’m in the area! I hope they open another restaurant in Delaware County.“

“Vault and Vine created beautiful arrangements for my wedding. We ordered bouquets, a couple table arrangements, and boutonnières. They were all unique but looked like part of the same ensemble, which was perfect. After an in depth conversation about our style and the feel of the event, they pulled together the perfect arrangements. They delivered on time to the venue and payment on line was easy. If you’re looking for flowers for your next event, definitely check out Vault and Vine.“

“Her daughters is my absolute favorite coffee shop in Philly. I drive by so many just to come here! Every single thing we’ve tried, we’ve never been disappointed. My favorite drink is an iced dirty chai, they have the best chai! The iced ginger snap chai really had me in a chokehold during the holiday season! My husband’s favorite is the Vietname iced coffee! I’ve recently been trying an iced red ice, which I also love! Their bakery selection is always so good & fresh! All hits, no misses, always. & the staff is always so nice & welcoming!!“
