Old City Coffee

Old City coffee is one of the most charming cafes in the city. Tucked onto a small cobblestone street in old city, the ambiance is immediately lovely. Charming historic details mix with thoughtfully chosen art work and decor. Everything is made in house, from coffee roasted right up the street to the delicious baked goods hot from the oven every morning (the butterscotch muffins and chocolate chip cookies are a must!!). The staff is always so bright and kind. Some staff members have been there for many many years and it shows in how deeply they care for their customers and the shop itself. It’s an “everybody knows your name” kind of place and I look forward to warm smiles every time I go in. Lastly, if you’re a decaf drinker - they have the best, freshest decaf iced coffee around. Thanks old city!!

Whenever I'm visiting Philly, Old City is my first stop! I love the variety in their menu and the service is amazing. The atmosphere of the shop is also lovely, plenty of seating and great vibes all around.

This place is not worth the hype, if it still even has any. The coffee is mediocre, the pastry selection is bleak and the energy is off putting. Cafe seating area feels lifeless, chairs are uncomfortable, wifi barely works, and it seems as though there hasn’t been many updates over the years. Old City is highly saturated with cafes, this one seems behind the times and I had a much better experience at Menagerie right up the street.

God the vibe in here is so depressing. The interior design is something you could make with a starter pack on the sims. Everything looks so cheap, yet somehow the coffee is expensive and severely mid? A few years back, this used to be one of my favorites but it’s since gone WAYYYY downhill. SAD!!!!! Maybe play better music or invest in a renovation. Times must be tough for them. There are much better cafes all over old city… time to step it up girls!

Loved the XL coffee I got yesterday at the Reading Terminal. I had to come check out this location down Church Street. Bring your laptop to come chill using their free Hot Spot and enjoy a cup of EXTREMELY HOT Delicious coffee. Plenty of tables and chairs. Even a nice restroom patrons can use. This time we decided to get some treats! A Raisin walnut muffin, cheddar scallion scone and a cream cheese bagel. All were very tasty but the scone and muffin were a little dry. But overall the prices are Excellent for Old City Philadelphia!! A bonus is that it opens at 7am and has a self kiosk to put in your own order!
