Crema's Take

Vernick Coffee Bar strikes that rare balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and genuine hospitality, with staff who make everyone feel genuinely welcomed whether you're there for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for hours. The bright, elegant space works equally well for business meetings or solo contemplation, and the kitchen backs up the coffee program with impressive pastries and light breakfast fare—think standout potato and leek quiche alongside excellent lattes, all at prices that feel refreshingly reasonable for the quality and care you're getting.

I was attending an event in the technology center and was not very excited about the catered lunch, so I thought I would stop by this coffee bar and grab a snack. I was so pleasantly surprised with what I received! First, service is thoughtful, direct, and fast, which i greatly appreciated. The eggplant sandwich, wow, what!!! The first bite melted me! Perfectly toasted bread and the eggplant was amazing! I had to look inside the sandwich multiple times to analyze why this tasted so great! Next was the overnight oats. It didnt look very exciting in the glass case, but the first bite thru the last bite was a cloudy dream of lightly sweetened perfection. Finally, the perfect lungo espresso shot. I am very particular about beans, roast, shot pull, crema, and temperature. This was incredible execution of a shot! On my next trip to Philly I am going straight from the airport to this place again. Thanks for raising the bar on an eggplant sandwich!!! Much love from Houston, Texas!

I didn't find the coffee very good (the steaming was done well, but the espresso was not so good (probably low quality Robusta beans?)). I also had the potato and leek quiche and, perhaps it was a coincidence, but I felt really nauseous and unwell shortly after eating it - to my knowledge, it has eggs and milk, but it wasn't stored in a fridge. Only afterwards did I think to myself, "Oh, yeah... maybe I shouldn't have ordered it then." It was also veryyy expensive. The quiche slice + a whole milk 12 oz latter amounted to almost $18.00 (w/o tip). Otherwise, they have a lot of beautiful and nice options for pastries. The lemon scone and especially the fig pastry were super pretty, but I'm afraid to try any of their pastries again. Despite being in a pretty open, lobbyesque, space, the set up is quite pretty.

Such a nice and relaxing coffee place! Staff always friendly and welcoming! There are hightop seats in the coffee area as well as seats around the coffee area! Coffee good and fresh! Excellent Lattes! Wide variety of pastries and they are so fresh and good! Dave,Drew and Lady T are so pleasant! They also have a dining area if you want to have more than coffee.

Lovely, bright and elegant ambience. Nice place to go and enjoy a business meeting or chat with a friend or simply enjoy a quality time by yourself. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The Toilets are super clean and nice. It is part of Comcast building. The coffee is not a specialty coffee! The cortado was like coming out or a room hotel Cafè maker. They need to spend of a good barista and quality coffee beans. The prices are high in general. When it comes to service, they are outstanding, bravo! Must try the pastries. I gave low ratings for the coffee and I was critical about it because the name is coffee bar and I came for that. The other point was for the price. Good luck and keep this wonderful quality up.
