Higher Grounds
631 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Higher Grounds is a laid-back Philadelphia spot where the nerdy charm and welcoming owner-barista energy make you want to linger for hours over a caramel oat milk latte or carefully prepared Bao Zhong oolong. Beyond the traditional coffee drinks, they shine with thoughtful seasonal offerings and quality breakfast fare—think brié and strawberry jam on sourdough—that justify the $15 investment and keep regulars coming back to settle into the cool, instantly comfortable vibe.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
