Coffee Shops near Villanova

“Great coffee, breakfast treats/baked goods, and atmosphere. As a Nova staff member, it's a super convenient quick stop. The staff is so friendly and even when there are a lot of customers, they make sure to get people in and out. Always clean too!“

“A couple weeks ago, I was working from this location, outside in the heat along with a few other people, waiting for my daughter to finish school. The Starbucks barista noticed the day was growing hotter and brought all of us some water (unprompted). It was a thoughtful gesture that didn't go unnoticed. I don't know your name but you know who you are and I'm ever grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity to your patrons. If anyone else has her name, please offer this review to her manager.“

“Cake Poser is a true gem! I have ordered a cake before in the past, their oreo salted cake is delicious. Cake Poser recently just helpedme out with a cake vision I had for a special event. They created the most beautiful #3 cake to celebrate my friends business anniversary. It was so yummy too. Thank you for helping make our event extra special!?✨“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I have had the pleasure of working with Danielle and John. Their willingness to work with us to reschedule our daughters bridal shower, due to a family emergency . Was nothing short of amazing! We are so thankful for their understanding and willingness to work with us! They are amazing owners and we are so appreciative“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“I was walking down conshy and I saw this cafe I never been to and decided to went in. The atmosphere was super cute and the owner is very sweet and recommended the brown sugar boba for me. They had tons of pastry and I couldn’t help but to get a few and try their avocado toast! Everything was delicious and definitely coming back. “

“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.“

“The Pho is great, but the Banh Mi is out of this word. Best one I've ever had. Just the right amount of spicy-ness, with tasty pork and perfect bread. Super friendly people that we're so glad to have in the neighborhood.Parking: Kind of a gnarly intersection, look both ways.“

“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.“

“It’s difficult to find a place that offers unique breakfast options for people that like a nice sized breakfast. This place has the regular breakfast items and enough interesting/new items to keep me coming back. My husband was sold on the home made biscuits!“

“Absolutely love it here. Consistently good food, lovely staff, quick service. I recommend getting a croissandwich for salty with any of their pastries for sweet (chocolate almond is a favorite). The owners are often coming up with new flavors to try and cute presentations like the photo I’ll attach from around Christmas. Our go-to for getting a treat in town. I can’t recommend it enough.Vegetarian options: Croissants, croissandwiches , Bahn-mi“

“Everything we tried was perfectly baked and utterly delicious. Had a variety of pastries including the best sellers : almond croissant, strawberry crème croissant. My favorite was the Greek yogurt & cherry. Can’t wait to explore more flavors and other offerings….“

“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.“

“Gotta give this sweet cat cafe props for a comfy atmosphere and the support the business gives to its resident feline rescues. Loved the experience of dining here. The food and coffee were all right, but a little on the pricier side. My friends and I split our bill and left at different times, so there was a little confusion about what was already paid. But luckily the paid paper receipt covering my friends' orders was discovered, otherwise I would've been stuck paying their bill. This hiccup occurred largely because the bill is paid at the front counter, and it would've been troublesome if the paper receipt was lost in the shuffle had the cafe been busier. Tip: Make sure to tell the server ahead of time who exactly is in your party and how you want the bill split to avoid any confusion. Without a digital system, it can be a little hard to split bills later, especially if people leave at different times.“

“This bakery was recommended as the best place for tres leches cake in the area and it didn't disappoint. I got a neapolitan and it was absolutely delicious! It was so fun to have three different cake flavors in one! I can't wait to go back with my family and sample some “

“I stopped here with my kids over the summer & was surprisingly refreshed at how fresh the ice cream was. I wanted ice cream this past weekend & told my husband he should try this place. I got him a cookie monster milkshake & he was blown away at how tasty it was. I got ice cream with a waffle that was made fresh & we enjoyed that so much 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.“

“This is the best breakfast in the area. Let it be known service speed is unmatched the quality is unmatched the prices are unmatched. This is hands down the absolute best breakfast spot in Montgomery county. Owner has been there over 50 years awesome individual shakes hands with people at breakfast just a great time here. And fast. I was in and out in 5 min had a whole breakfast. Cheap prices. Just incredible place“

“I’m so impressed how they recently upgraded the quality of items from good to great! I’ve had multiple croissants that were delicious with amazing lamination and an almond tart that was also amazing. Bread is excellent quality. All well priced too!“

“Yesterday morning, I stopped here for breakfast after seeing they offer vegan options on Happy Cow, and it hit the spot. The cafe was clean and organized. The staff were very friendly and fun, and even though there were several guests before me, I didn’t have to wait long. They have plenty of outdoor seating and a few tables inside. I got a spiced coffee with oat milk which was really tasty, and a vegan Philly muffin breakfast sandwich with hummus. I was very satisfied with the amount of food I received and the flavors. The everything Philly muffin is the way to go! I decided to grab a vegan scone on the way out which made for a delicious fika in a nearby park later. Will happily return!Vegetarian options: Can’t say much for vegetarians, but there are definitely enjoyable vegan options. Tofutti cream cheese or hummus for sandwiches, all the plant milks, and vegan baked goods.“

“Buna Cafe is such a gem in the neighborhood. I’ve not had a chance to dine in yet, but their food via delivery has been outstanding. It’s always well-presented and carefully packaged, which just isn’t the case for all food deliveries. I’ve tried a number of the vegan sides, but I’ve found my groove with the veg platter, and it just makes me so happy! The shiro is amazing—smooth and creamy and so flavorful! I sometimes get it as a side in addition to the platter to have some to enjoy the next day. Definitely worth a visit or placing an order!“

“Great venue for gaming !! Lots of space and various tables to fit all types of games. Staff is very nice and attentive. Good beer selection and excellent food choices (breakfast stuff, burgers, etc). It is now our go-to place for our monthly sports simulation games meetings.“

“The workers were super friendly! My London fog was tasty. They didn't add any sugar to it so I added my own, but I actually appreciate that because it's not fun when it's overly sweet. The sticky bun I had was heavenly. Someone put their heart and soul into making that thing. So sweet and buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere was also cute. Not overly busy, good for working. Place is kinda small, but I was thankful for an open seat. Very clean and welcoming. I would recommend!“

“We love Pour Richard's for many different reasons. Their coffee selection is HUGE and delicious. If you've never had anything from PR...try a different blend every day you go. It's worth it! The staff is A+ AMAZING and works their butts off. Great place to stop and grab breakfast and coffee and to get some work done before going into the office. I could write a novel on how great PR is; but if you're reading this, chances are you already know that!“

“Loved visiting this cute Philadelphia themed coffee shop. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the service is wonderful. The patio outside was cozy and I enjoyed reading my book with my coffee. I'll have to go back to try the food.“

“This was my first time here and my dad’s first time ever going to a tea house! This has to be the best one I ever went too!! Every solitary thing was incredible from the tea, to the food, the atmosphere, the staff and of course the owner!! I highly recommend taking the time to come here and enjoy a relaxing and incredible experience!!“

“Nancy at duck donuts might be the sweetest woman I’ve ever met! Every time she greets you like you are the most important customer and just makes you feel special. I come in pretty often and I can’t say enough how much she makes my mornings better!“

“This is a cute little cafe tucked in one of the streets of Chestnut Hill! All the staff was very friendly and the person ringing us up was very patient with us. The inside of the cafe has a very cozy atmosphere and it would be a great place to meet up with a friend or do some work! I ordered the black forest latte and a mozzarella croissant and both were super good! I highly recommend this place!“

“I came in this morning for some coffee and LOVED the vibes!! The cafe is super chill with plenty of space to grab coffee, some food and get some work done. This location is inside the KOP mall for that midday retail therapy and the food court for some food that the cafe may not carry. Next time I come in I’ll try some food at Capitol One Cafe and update my review but for now the coffee and experience was great!!“

“I stumbled across this place when I was doing an engagement shoot nearby but had to hop on a client call. I ordered a peach green tea refresher which was amazing and so much better than Starbucks. The wifi was great and super fast and it was an overall nice environment to work from. I really liked how late they were open. (I went in at 6:30pm) because all other options I could work from were closed.I would drive the distance just to come back for the atmosphere.“

“Great, old time ice cream place. This would be the perfect spot to visit after a baseball game!I took my kids for an ice cream on a lazy Sunday afternoon this summer. The place was packed! However, the line moved fast.My younger son ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream and my older son tried the moose tracks. (I took a taste of both)The mint chocolate chip was so delicious, it reminded me of ice cream I got from a little candy shop up in Northern Wisconsin when I was a kid. My older son said that their moose tracks was the best he's ever had.We will definitely go back!Only wish they had some gluten free cones or cookies.“

“Picked up a bag of beans after chatting with the Baristas about flavors I go for. The Rwanda beans they recommended have been a lovely addition to my morning. This was during the May street festival and they were cool & calm even with a busy crowd coming in and out of the shop.“

“Donuts were warm and tasty, only thing that lacks a star is half of my donut was stuck to the box so that was a little annoying. The service was amazing and honestly very sweet. Will be back to try other flavors just wish the donuts wouldn't stick to the box with the icing.“

“Confident saying - anything positive you've read/heard about Green Engine is probably 100% legit. Drinks and pasteries are fantastic. Service is always very good. Been here many times. I'd recommend: hot vanilla latte & a toasted bagel with cashew butter. Sometimes it's hard to find seating...but that's because the place is justifiably popular.“

“It's a very decent restaurant and my first impression was good.The restaurant provides a chic ambience, and it's decorated nicely. It gives a crisp and clean atmosphere for it hasn't even been six months since it opened last year. Service rendered was very good. Our server was polite, charming and efficient. Our food came out from the kitchen fairly quickly after we placed our orders.As is often the case for me, I tried Pho Tai for my first visit to establish a baseline for the goodness of a Vietnamese restaurant. Unfortunately, Pho Ngon was only just about average for me.Pho broth was very decent, but it wasn't the best. The beef was a little tough because it came out of the kitchen pretty much well-done. As for their Pad Thai... chicken was significantly under-flavored and had some texture issues per my wife.My pursuit for the best Pho in the area continues.Parking: There is ample parking space in this shopping center.“

“The food and Boba are so tasty, if you go you must get the chicken gyosas. I rated the food a 4 though because sometimes when I get drinks, they need a bit more flavor. Like the fruity flurry and coffee tasted a but plain, but other than that the food is amazing. On the tack with the snacks, there is mochi too and the chocolate flavor is to die for. All the food is a must-have for a low price. The service is quick and very nice too. The atmosphere is also so great because they have comfy sofas and games to play which is really fun. This is definitely my go to place for a quick drink or a place to hang out with friends.Vegetarian options: I'm not sure because I never really lookKid-friendliness: Really nice people who treat kids just like other adults (not in a bad way)Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs so should be fine :)“

“I went in yesterday for a free birthday drink but wasn't able to find the coupon in the app. The girl was so sweet and hooked me up with a free medium drink of my choice regardless and apologized for the long wait (they were SUPER busy). Really kind, hard working staff and I just hope they know I appreciate their kindness. Will continue coming here to buy drinks when I'm craving a slushee or bubble tea. Thanks, guys!“

“It's been 3 weeks since I arrived in the US from Italy and have been searching for coffee that resembles the amazing Italian coffee I'm used to. Well, today I found my place! The coffee is the best I've tasted so far since being here. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere very welcoming, relaxed and nice. Bonus: No loud music so you can have a good chat without having to talk too loud. Will be back soon!“

“Very boutique. Maybe I was there at an odd hour but there were no basic pastries offered. The options were very intricate and the ingredients were not obvious which made it hard to decide. I could have easily been satisfied with a fresh donut or pound cake. I ended up with a chocolate beignet which was too much chocolate for my preference.“

“‘feine is great! I came in the day of a large company meeting needing a LOT of coffee, and they made it happen! I spoke with the manager, who said they do catering and scheduled more coffee for the next day, which they delivered. If you’re looking for a local place with great coffee to cater, give them a call and they’ll take care of you.“

“The Sunday buffet brunch has to be just about the best food I have ever had. The fact this was a buffet is even more special. Normally buffet food is just "OK" since it is prepared ahead of time. Not the case here. *All* of the food (and I mean all of the food) was absolutely delicious, skillfully prepared and tasted incredibly fresh. There was a wide variety of meats, fish, pasta, breakfast foods, and desserts nicely arranged for self-service. All the food made is from scratch. The coffee was superb. Cloth napkins even. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. And yes, even the bathroom was very nicely done, with dimmed lights and candles no less. In summary, it was an excellent dining experience. (And no, I did not receive any benefit or payment from posting this review.)“
