Cake & Joe
1401 E Moyamensing Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“This Philadelphia gem pairs expertly crafted coffee with show-stopping cakes that reviewers rave about with genuine delight—think delicate chocolate mousse and basque cheesecake elevated by thoughtful touches like fresh mango. The vibe is unhurried and spacious with attentive staff who know their menu cold, making it feel less like a quick caffeine stop and more like a place where you actually want to linger with someone you care about over a chai tea or strawberry matcha. It's the kind of spot where the details matter, from the barista's warmth to the full-table service that transforms a simple coffee outing into a proper experience.”

Good coffee, great desserts. Got the chocolate mousse and my wife got a passion fruit mousse both very good. Seating was a little odd and low but overall okay. Staff was great. Would go again for sure.
Delicious cakes and drinks! The cakes are delicate and incredibly smooth, and I love my chai tea!
On November 15th, my husband and I had a wonderful experience visiting Cake and Joe. Our server, Kimmy, was fantastic—she had a vibrant personality, was well-spoken, and knew the menu inside and out! I tried the fried cauliflower, which Kimmy recommended, and it was incredible—perfect for vegan lovers. It came with a sauce that reminded me of a mild, spicy yum-yum sauce, which totally excited my palate in the best way. My husband ordered a cold cut sandwich with applewood bacon on the side. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a comfortable table setting that's perfect for coffee dates or even doing some homework. I also can't forget the two cups of caramel lattes I enjoyed, made with oat milk and crafted to perfection. I highly recommend visiting—it's a spot worth experiencing!
Last week my boyfriend and I went to Cake & Joe. The barista was super friendly, and we were served fairly quickly. The basque cheesecake we shared for delicious. The fresh mango on top was the perfect thing to balance out the sweetness of the cheesecake. Lastly, both of our drinks were well sized for the price, and they tasted great as well. I definitely recommend adding Cake & Joe to your itinerary if you’re in the area.
The place was quiet, clean, and spacious. The barista was super helpful and brought our drinks and food to the table for us. I got an iced Jasmine Tea, and my girlfriend got an iced Strawberry Matcha with oat milk. Both were super good and not too sweet. We also enjoyed sharing a Basque Cheesecake that I had my eye on. All in all, it was a great experience and I will definitely try their mousse cake another day!
