This place has become my go-to when it comes to getting work done in Philly. The cafe has a lot of great bonuses in addition to the standard free wifi and ample seating, namely:
An enormous tea selection that I have yet to exhaust. Always something new to try out,
Incredible bagels, albeit they do run out fairly early, so I'd suggest coming a bit early to get them. I think the secret to their tastiness is that they are buttered before being toasted in the panini press..
And, of course, great spreads for your bagels. I recommend the one that is similar to olive tapenade.
In all, highly recommended. -

Great spot, so glad to see so many vegan options. Really unfriendly and dismissive service, though, which made for a generally unpleasant experience. Will come back and hope the staff is less dismissive and rude.
Again, awesome to see so many vegan options - and such a nice variety. Coffee and bagels were good. Sad the service was not. -

Horrible service. I came up to the counter and the young man w/ blue eyes behind the counter was so rude. I walked up and said hi. He made eye contact with me twice, huffed and turned around to the back area. He did not say anything. No smile, no gesture, just an eye roll, heavy sigh, and he turned around to fiddle with something in the back. I couldn't believe someone could be so rude but also want you to patronize their business. Especially since he was absentmindedly scrolling on his phone when I walked up. I didn't even order anymore and walked right out. To add insult to injury, I was almost accosted by a person begging for money while I was writing this review in their outdoor seating area.
TLDR; really bad service / rude employees that will roll their eyes and not speak to you even when you want to order something -

The petite girl with bangs, bun and septum piercing who waited on me today was extremely rude to me instantly for no reason. My only guess is cause I wasn't dressed like a punk / I'm not a regular. I was having a good day until this interaction.
As I sat waiting for my drink she proceeded to tell her coworker "I wish we could call people's names for what they really are, like BANE OF MY EXISTENCE".
Hire people who don't hate their lives and project it onto customers. Super judgey for what one would otherwise assume to be a progressive , friendly place. Way too much angst here. -

Yooo this place is so good. I'll walk a mile to come get coffee and a bagel. I recently found their Roma di Villa (I think?) bagel that has cream cheese and dried tomato pesto. Enjoy the art inside and the ambiance of the patio outside.
