Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Palmer, Phriends is a wonderfully welcoming neighborhood spot that captures that nostalgic 90s coffee shop magic—think cozy vibes, genuinely friendly owners, and a soundtrack that'll appeal to jam band fans. Beyond the stellar coffee, they've earned serious praise for their surprisingly excellent bagels and sandwiches, making it the kind of place where regulars naturally accumulate. Whether you're settling in for a long sit with a friend or grabbing breakfast to go, this is a community gathering space that actually delivers on both the experience and the food.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
