A La Mousse
145 N 11th St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“A La Mousse is a charming Philadelphia café that's earned its reputation as a destination for visually stunning desserts and thoughtfully crafted coffee drinks, with specialties like mango mousse and rich chocolate cakes that feel more like edible art than afterthoughts. The intimate space strikes that perfect balance between cozy gathering spot and Instagram-worthy retreat, though you'll want to arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat during peak hours. It's the kind of place where every cappuccino pairs beautifully with pastries that taste as good as they look, making it worth the slightly higher price tag for anyone craving that genuine European café experience.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Cute little place, I got a mocha and the Nutella cake. It is incredibly rich and I have still yet to finish it but it’s delicious and reminds me of Ferrero Rocher’s! It was busy so it’s clearly a great spot to go and the coffee was a great way to help warm me up although I do…
