Great find! Excellent coffee and conversation. I will be proudly displaying my Bison Coffee sticker on my laptop and recommending this place widely.

Possibly one of the most watery lattes I’ve ever tasted. There wasn’t even any ice in my ice latte. Vibes are industrial if that’s your cup of tea. Service was decent.

Hate that neither the menu in the cafe’s board up top behind the register or on their website is up to date.Their coffee is pretty good. I’ve had their latte, and I forget whether the other drink I’ve tasted was a cappuccino or macchiato.I’ve also tried their smoked salmon bagel sandwich, coffee cake, and ham & cheese croissant. They’re all pretty good. I prefer savory foods, so I really liked the salmon bagel. I’d recommend the ham & cheese next, and the coffee cake last.

If i would have done my review the first time I went it would have gotten 5 stars but because I normally go back a second time just to make sure I really do love the place this time around was not the case. Worst part I was embarrassed because I was raving about this coffee shop to my friend to have her leave unsatisfied. My friend and I went and we ordered nothing out of the ordinary cold brew with caramel and a slash of oatmilk. We got not once but 3 times a water downed "cold brew " and the best part the barista that was behind making the drink had such an ugly attitude. Her face looked like there was poop behind the bar and she had to smell it. And when we kindly asked for it to be remade she started mumble under her breath. I asked her if there was a problem and she looked at me like I was talking to a wall. She wouldn't give me her name but she was an Asian girl. Her coworker was okay she didn't have attitude but also took no initiative to help. Eventually I asked them to add espresso into the cold brew and we ended up going to La Colombe and ordered an entire new drink. Pretty sad, being someone who's worked in this type of industry I know this is not how you treat your PAYING customers who help you have a job. Maybe I'll go back and get the nice gentlemen from last time.

Stopped in for the first time in the afternoon and was disappointed that the only milk available was oat milk. Pastries were limited, but that's understandable given the time of day. The refrigerator was only stocked with Nesquik and Essentia water, which was also disappointing. No sparkling water or other beverage options. With that said, the cappuccino was well-made: a good amount of foam, well-balanced, and unlike many coffee shops, it wasn't the size of a latte. It would have been truly great with whole milk. The interior is nice. Spacious with ample seating and high ceilings and natural light. I'm willing to go back another time (and hopefully they'll have whole milk in stock!).

Very limited food options. Not the cleanest space either.

Let me start by saying their espresso lattes and matcha lattes are delicious and are the main reason I visit here. The reason for the low rating is because this is now the 3rd/4th time I have been in where they have been understocked. Usually it's the matcha that is out of stock however this visit they had no milk options other than whole milk. Very disappointing.

I like supporting smaller coffee shops but this one disappointed me. I ordered an iced latte and, instead of telling me that they were out of cold drink lids, so that I could order something else, the barista made the drink and then told me they were out. She said she left some space on top at the top of the cup, as if that is supposed to do anything. When I took my drink outside, a fly fell in my drink and I had to throw most of it away. What a waste of money, plus the time and effort I took to trek there instead of other nearby coffee shops.

Oat latte was good but the young girl was not in the mood and it was early morning.

I love this coffee shop! I always get a large mocha. Iced in the summer and hot in the winter, and they never disappoint. They also have these vanilla creme stuffed donuts that are delicious. There's a large space with some tables and bench seating that allow you to plug up your device and work or just sit and enjoy your coffee.

This is a good cafe in Philly. I went here for a latte the morning after the Taylor Swift concert. Friendly staff and clean sitting area. They were out of coffee lids, but that's ok. I ordered a latte and it was good.
