Shibam Coffee
3748 Lancaster Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Shibam Coffee is a stunningly designed modern café where elevated aesthetics meet approachable hospitality, with gold accents and meticulous interior design that feels both luxe and inviting. Beyond the beautiful space, they're earning serious coffee credentials with creative signatures like pistachio and cookie butter lattes, plus excellent pastries including their Dubai cheesecake, making it equally worthy as a destination for specialty drinks or a productive afternoon with your laptop. The team's genuine warmth—they've even welcomed guests before official opening hours—combined with their obvious attention to detail, creates the kind of neighborhood spot where everyone from solo workers to families feel equally welcomed.”

“Visited with my husband and our babies and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was beautiful and very welcoming. We tried the pistachio latte, cookie butter latte, Dubai cheesecake, and banana pudding — everything was absolutely delicious. The drinks were rich and flavorful, and the desserts were amazing. Such a lovely spot to relax and enjoy good coffee and desserts. Would definitely come back again.”
My boyfriend and I went in over the weekend and we must've caught them before they opened, but they still let us come in and order. The interior design is absolutely stunning- clean, modern, tasteful, and incredibly spacious! For drinks we had the latte (just a generic latte) and the meditation tea (I think thats what it was called- very soothing). The pastries are a bit on the pricier side at $9.50 a piece. All the ones we tried were light and not too sweet- just the way we like it! Our favorite was the strawberry bunny, silky mousse with a nice strawberry jam in the middle. The rose was a close second. The vanilla oreo popsicle we thought was a cake pop, but was actually another mousse desssert. The chocolate berry unfortunately was not great- the mousse was separated and the texture off putting. The tirasmisu was fine, but definitely could've soaked the lady fingers for longer in espresso. Overall we enjoyed our time and our pastries!
I should say that I take cafes very seriously and have high standards....I attended Shibams soft launch and was highly impressed Was everything perfect? No ...but you can tell they were excited to be apart of the community - their hospitality is top notch The food was very good (pastries and desserts are out of this world) There is amble seating options and the space itself is absolutely stunning I know I am not the only one who is excited that they are here - and they'll get extra points if they stay open late!
Came in on their opening day! The vibe was so good and all the food & drink provided is worth it. Highly recommend this place, very nice people. Also, you can sit in and do work here like other coffee shop. Had no problems, 10/10
Shibam Coffee exceeded my expectations. From the moment you walk in, the space is stunning — clean, modern, and beautifully designed. The gold signage and detailing give it such an elevated feel. We ordered multiple lattes (the latte art was perfect), a pistachio specialty drink, sandwiches, and a pastry — everything was fresh and full of flavor. The pistachio drink was honestly one of the best I’ve had. Smooth, not overly sweet, and really unique. The sandwiches were warm with fresh bread, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. And don’t even get me started on the dessert display — it looks like a luxury bakery. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and high-quality drinks and food. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Philly needed this.
