Crema's Take

“Malelani Cafe is a warm neighborhood gem in Philadelphia where the espresso rivals the best in the city and the Mediterranean food—think perfectly cooked Shwarma chicken bowls and tiramisu worth raving about—keeps regulars coming back. The genuine hospitality from staff and live music a couple times a week create the kind of place where you're equally happy grabbing a quick smoothie or settling in for a long lunch with friends. It's the rare café that nails both the coffee craft and the food quality while making everyone who walks through the door feel like family.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Nicest people on the block! also the best espresso in that part of the city and tiramisu to die for. Always feel healthy and happy when I leave here. Also they have live music couple times a week and the open mic is super welcoming
