The Ground Rittenhouse
120 S 18th St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Rittenhouse Square, this plant-filled café feels like stepping into a bright, botanical sanctuary where coffee is taken seriously—their creative signature drinks like the Banana Bread Matcha and custom mochas showcase real innovation, and they're genuinely accommodating with dietary requests. The whimsical, thoughtfully decorated space draws crowds for leisurely sit-downs with pastries and specialty toasts, though you'll want to arrive early or be patient for a table and expect premium pricing for your carefully crafted cup.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
