Ox Coffee
616 S 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Ox Coffee is a beloved neighborhood gem where serious espresso craftsmanship meets genuine warmth, with baristas who clearly know their trade and a curated soundtrack that sets the perfect mood. The intimate space—anchored by a charming back patio—feels like a secret worth sharing with friends, whether you're there for a quick specialty drink or settling in with a pour over and one of their excellent pastries. It's the kind of place Philly coffee lovers keep coming back to, not just for the smooth, bitterless shots, but because the whole experience feels intentional and unhurried.”

Great coffee in a cute little place. Very limited seating.
Solid coffee, friendly staff, yummy pastries, and throwing down some great tunes 🎵
we have a lots of coffee shops around the city. This coffee shop provide a place to relax and communicate with friends. If you are in the city you should pay a visit here. Staff members are so nice and warm. Service and quality is superb.
The best coffee in the city hands down. The baristas are pro. Great ownership. Great music playing at all times. Cutest back patio. Great walkable location to lots of other treasures in the neighborhood.
We have been told again and again that Ox is the best coffee in Philly so we have it a try. My resident coffee connoisseur gives it two thumbs up, reporting that “there is no bitterness.” The shop is small and service is “walk up to the window” style, which is fine. There is also an “order ahead” option. Ox also offers a small selection of baked goods, various coffee/espresso drinks, and hot chocolate (also rumored to be “the best”- I’ll let you know...). The service was friendly and efficient but fair warning: the coffee isn’t inexpensive.
