It's my favourite coffee in my time of being in the US. Get your coffee to go and walk over to the Race Street Pier for a wonderful time.

Such a lovely, chill little hole in the wall that has awesome coffee as well as glorious scones and the best oatmeal I've ever had in my life. Definitely worth it!

Stacy Bo Bacy

Great little spot to get a coffee to go. Plenty of two-seaters inside and two outside, but the chairs are not comfy .

With two high-traffic locations—one in Old City , the other in the Reading Terminal Market—Old City Coffee has produced fresh, tiny batches of high-grade Arabica coffee for more than 25 years now.

Iced matcha and chai latte are to die for!! The oat milk is such a unique twist on such classics

Roaster with the most-er :-). Select from 15 blends of beans to grind and oh they have have ice cream and some great pastry and a lunch menu . What more ya want?

Darth V

Ryan Gates

Get anything to drink with any baked good . It’s all good.

Perfect spot to get a quick drink and take to the streets to explore Old City !

christopher miano

Heavy Bubble

Favorite stop for whole roasted beans. It a neighborhood place .

Alex A.

Ant McCall

When you go in say the CCP PHOTO club recommended this place ....PLEASE lolNice service, small little cute ...... yeah i said cute street lol

Reuben Treatman

The Sumatra is like hot chocolate , a must have ❤️

Randy Garbin

This is not a place to hang out and use the wifi . You get a temp account that allows only one device for one hour. Iced coffee is excellent, though.

Slaveiko Savov

The roast is way too dark. If you like super bitter (charcoal) coffee with no other detectable flavors, go for it. I’ll pass!

Neil Epstein

When asked - 'how are the bagels ' was starred at blankly. More roll than bagel , has the chew but missing the crunch.

Larisa Grollemond

Nice place to sit outside with an iced coffee and a muffin .

j0an

Awful wifi . Good coffee . Awesome croissant .

Chris Scarcelle

One of the most favorable coffee shops in Philadelphia

???????? Keagan

Morgan Schuman

Best iced coffee I've ever had

Heavy Bubble

Bring your own cup and save a few cents and the planet.

Seth Hosko

Fork:etc's coffee and baked goods are as great if not better. Outdoor seating cannot be beat here though.

Chad Burgess

Seems legit and not too hipster . In fact there's only 2 laptops here. Both PCs. #mindblown

Philly Love Notes

Mixed berry scone . Just get it.

Ant McCall

THE BEST BROCCOLI RABE AND CHICKEN PIZZA EVER AWESOME !!! service sucks wait staff was slow but food was GOOD

Casey

Great coffee and iced tea .

PSU-Lion Di

Employees too busy talking to wait on customers. Very few pastries . With all these beans, only 2 flavors brewed? No thank you. Cafe Olé down the street has my business.

ᴡ Charles

small intimate , nestled on side street, great cup of Joe and pastries

M. Williams

First visit.

Daniel Schwartz

The Spinach and cheddar cheese scone = deliciousness!

David Kiss

The internet never works here.

Mickey Rowley

The burritos are pretty good actually. They look awful in the fridge but once warmed with the sauce. Yum.

Martel Johnson

what happen when you let luxury run wild never stop love

Shellie Wass

If all I want is a slice do I need a waitress or can I go to the counter? I don't understand.

Sherry K

Sloooow service, but cozy .
