I order whole beans online, roasted and shipped daily, and arrive fast. Their 3 bags for $45 is a solid deal and I’ve had great service, I texted them through the site to ask about roast levels and they even gave me suggestions for brewing ratios. I will keep ordering and tell my friends!

The espresso was extremely noteworthy, and the staff was nearly as amazing. In addition to the fact that they sell incredible espresso and cakes, however they additionally offer extraordinary offices. This coffeehouse is most certainly worth a visit as a result of its wonderful air and an extraordinary assortment of baristas who will make your espresso more interesting. Im certain Ill propose this bistro to anybody! All here is awesome!

I dont know if it was the time of day I went or what, but that staff seemed really depressed! I felt like they could have used a bit of caffeine for themselves! The cappucino was really good, but that Tahini Shakerato was nasty! I dont know if its cause im used to having tahini with my shawarma or what, but it was overpowering the entire drink by far. The atmosphere in the shop was pretty down as well. Again - not sure if I came at the wrong time or what, but I would not come back again.

Looks like a fantastic place.. will need to try something different next time (and edit rating). Iced matcha.. was mostly just milk. I let it settle so I could drink just bottom portion

Really good coffee. There is seating inside but not a lot. Good area to read and relax.

Stopped in while walking by on a very hot day. I got an unsweetened iced tea to cool off a bit. It had a nice flavor and tasted fresh. I would stop by again for the iced tea. Hopefully, I can make it there early enough one day for the Japanese style cold brew!

Great coffee. One of the best decaf americanos Ive had: they do not burn the espresso beans, which is sadly uncommon.Their baked goods are great too, especially the croissants and pain chocolat.

If you know Elixr you know that they do coffee better than anyone in the city. Their customer service is superb as well. I stopped by today well after they closed (didnt know they were closed). The guy there was more than happy to sell me some beans and took his time explaining the different offerings they had. Great neighborhood spot that really cares.

Pretty cool coffee shop serving the usual combinations of hot or cold coffee. I got the Kyoto slow drip cold coffee and it was delicious !!! The also have a selection of pastries and sandwiches that looked delectable.This location is split level with plenty of chairs table and lounge like seating. It is on a quiet-ish street off Walnut and one can easily miss it. Prices are competitive compared to other coffee shops in the neighborhood.I would definitely recommend.

Small coffee shop in Philly, hidden on a side street. Good coffee, great service. Great place to get work done since they have WiFi. The bagels are tasty as well, especially with one of their flavored cream cheese options. Pictured is a cinnamon raisin bagel with honey cream cheese.

Very good coffee although a bit pricey. Also it will be good if they offer any light food or viennoiserie. The order menu had only drinks. Maybe due to Covid???

Good but not my favorite. Its tucked away around the corner amd was pretty busy. Tricky to find a seat! The latte was nice, but not the best Ive had. Overall a decent local coffee shop.

Local coffee shop = 🎉It nice to get away from Starbucks. The atmosphere is super hipster, but they know their coffee. Surprisingly, all the coffee is light roasts, so it tastes completely different than Starbucks.Try it.

This shop is the perfect example of good people using good products to make a good safe space for people to feel at home. Check it out if you get a chance, you will NOT be disappointed!!

Great pour over options and a simple refill was cheap and delicious. The great part of this place is how comfortable and peaceful it is. Its a great place to just hang out and be for a little bit. The place is always bustling but not in a distracting way. Great spot to catch your breath and get a good cup of coffee.

Amazing coffee, great bean selection and awesome staff!Visiting Philly for a few days, I found this through the Beanhunter app, Elixr is listed as the top in Philly... And now I see why!Great bean selection, knowledgeable and fun staff - in a seriously cool little spot. Ill definitely be back before I leave.100% you need to visit if youre serious about your coffee!

Review №21

I started going to Elixr when it was in a tiny space just off of Rittenhouse. The current space has a wonderful industrial, shabby chic feel that is less sterile and more communal. That being said if the space were larger that would be terrific since this place is always hopping. Why not since their coffee whether or over or espresso based are terrific and the tea is also high quality. Nice selection of pastries as well. Always a good place for reading, chatting or taking a rest while in Center City.

Review №22

Sadly, they can’t make a good cappuccino. The ones we ordered barely had any foams on top. When I tried to address this issue they just replied that’s how we make it. Customer service 👎🏻

Review №23

This is a classic hip coffee place in cool surrounding with an appropriately distressed ambience. It buzzes with people and although there is a touch of worship-the-laptop the predominant feel is lively. The croissants are great and regular cappuccino very good. It has ruined things for me, however, by dropping soy. I won’t be going back.

Review №24

Loved this place so much. Beautiful relaxing space that has fun details without being too extra. The Lavender Cardamom Iced latte (seasonal I believe) was divine. My friends cappuccino was great quality too.

Is it fair for me to leave a review even though Im not a coffee drinker? I have no idea how good the coffee is here, but the chai tea latte was pretty good. The staff was super cool and they have a touchpad to order setup. You order then wait for you name to be called. Its pretty quick and seamless.

This was a very nice cafe. We ordered the La Palma coffee and it was so good, we considered actually buying a bag of it with the Chemex Coffee maker. A very rustic atmosphere and plenty of seating.

This place is the perfect coffee spot. Cool space with lots of great touches like power strips for sitting and working, comfortable nooks for reading and pleasant aesthetics. The coffee is fabulous and the pastries are super good. Take your time to sit down and relax because that is what this space was clearly designed for.

Review №33

Great tasting coffee and an adorable atmosphere. This coffee shop is decorated so gracefully and it is a beautiful space to drink coffee and work, study, or catch up with a friend! It is not very small but it fills up fast so it can be hard to find seating sometimes. They offer oat milk to substitute milk and it brings a delicious nutty flavour to the coffee.

Review №37

I have been here before and enjoyed it but my latest experience not so much. Before going I saw they had a 3 bags of coffee for $45 special on the website. I asked the server about it when I went in and he said they were not doing that anymore and that it was just a winter thing. ... Its early March and still winter and I said its still on your site. I still bought two bags of coffee and a latte. I paid full price for everything. As I waited the next person came in and friendly help about the coffee and how the check out process worked. they then they were offered a free coffee for their bag purchase.

Great coffee with nice interior look. Only downside is most seating is for 1-2 people and many people take up seats studying for long periods of time.

Amazing coffee shop. There is enough space for everyone, you can sit outside by the tree and read. The food is great and drinks as well. Love, love, love this place! They offer fun seasonal lattes that are delicious and the outdoor patio is a great space to work or relax with friends. This is a new regular spot for me.

Cute place with an awesome vibe. The staff was informative and very pleasant to speak with. For someone who isnt a big fan of tea they have great advice. Although I didnt end up getting tea, I got the mocha latte and my friend got a decaf Americana with oat milk. We enjoyed both. We shared a bagel with hummus and it was delicious. Definitely check this place out.

This is the most hospitable coffee cafe environment in Center City Philadelphia and they make the most delicious hot chocolate and cortado. Too bad the laptop customers dont reciprocate by making more purchases to help pay for the electricity, salaries and rent during their day-long encampment.

Im from out of town and heard a lot of great things about this coffee shop so naturally I had to try it out. It was within walking distance of the conference Im attending in the heart of downtown. The latte I order was delicious with a really rich and chocolatey flavor. The baristas were really nice as well.

Artisanal coffee here. Each cup is prepared separately. The grounds are weighed on a scale and water is hand poured through a coffee filter. Definitely recommended if youve never had single-sourced coffee before. A bit pricey, around $4 for a cup but you get what you pay for.
