    I love this place. They serve La Colombe coffee and they really know how to prepare it. Each of the lattes I've had so far are so creamy with a great balance of sweetness. The environment is my favorite. Comfortable couches, plenty of tables, outlets, etc.

    By far my favorite almond milk match place in the city. Perfect every time. Sweet spot on south street. The exposed brick, natural light, and great staff makes it a great place to linger.

    Good coffee and a quaint atmosphere in a very walkable neighborhood. Small but nice menu and the prices are more reasonable than expected from a boutique coffee shop. They offer a few sandwiches and panini as well as pastries in addition to their nice choices of coffee. Inside the shop are a few tables for sitting and eating and some antique but comfortable couches for sitting and enjoying your coffee. Its tight but not cramped and the staff is friendly. The neighborhood is filled with little cafes and shops and the sidewalks are always full of people coming and going from any number of activities. Don't expect to find street parking as this is a highly residential area. Be aware that the streets here have different rules for folks with resident parking stickers so pay attention if you are lucky enough to find a spot. If you are within walking distance, the surrounding area is a pleasant walk and well worth the trip. Four stars for good coffee, good food but just not the amazing experience that force stars should be reserved for.

    Worst latte I've had in a long time. I know it was with oat milk but I think it should still be possible to get the foam soft and velvety rather than a mass of bubbles. A waste of $5 :(

    They make Macchiatos traditionally, which I very much love. Service was wonderful, and the area is very nice.

    This a great neighborhood coffee shop. Expect it to be relatively busy later in the morning on the weekends. They have some vegan breakfast options, but I go there for the atmosphere and the big velvety couch in the back corner next to the window, which is lined with beautiful plants. It's the perfect place to curl up with your drink and a book, or use the coffee table to spread out a bit more. I do see people wheeling strollers in to make their orders but there's not really a good place to put your strollers if you want to sit down. They do have a couple of outdoor, sidewalk tables for the warmer weather. Overall, I love this place and if you're just stopping through, or need a place to sit and rest for a minute, do it here.

    Delicious breakfast and coffee for a good price. We got their sausage egg and cheese which was good and their spinach and mushroom omelette on a croissant which was fantastic.

    Nice open area with comfy chairs. Inviting to sit in and music is quiet enough to talk or work, unlike Starbucks or the smaller coffee places in town. Food isn't served on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and I wish they would alert people online about that tbh.

    :( what happened to this place? I got a sandwich served with overcooked eggs and a stale bagel. The coffee is still good though, and the seating is nicer than it used to be. I live. Lose so I've given it plenty of chances, don't bother with the food.

    Chai tea latte is so creamy and not too sweet! Nice couch and chairs

    I was thinking this would be a great new spot for my morning coffee and breakfast sandwich but I was disappointed. The cashier/barista didn’t say a word to me. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and it was burnt and very dry. They were all out of cold brew coffee so I got an iced coffee but it tasted pretty bland for an iced coffee. The interior design of the place is very cool, but the food, coffee, and customer service was disappointing.

    I was very excited to try this place because it is close to where I live. When I went in they were all out of espresso and could not make 90% of the drinks on their menu. I was trying to do work there but could not get the wifi to work. The person working behind the counter was giving me a lot of attitude when I asked for help with the wifi and I ended up having to use a hot spot on my phone. I was also given attitude when I did not know where to return my plate/silverware. It was freezing cold in there to the point that I had to go home because I could not type on my computer my hands were so cold.

    Elixir from Heaven! I just randomly popped in here yesterday as I was waiting for my food from the restaurant across the street. I ordered a Mochaccino & it was the best coffee drink I’d ever had. I loved that it was not too sweet. I could taste all of the elements…quality coffee, steamed oat milk, chocolate syrup. The cinnamon they have in the shaker is even superior. Usually these cinnamon shakers have no scent & look like they’ve sat out for 18 years. I could smell the cinnamon as I picked it up & it had a smaller head so I only got cinnamon INSIDE my cup…not all over the counter. (Ok, rant over. Lol) I ordered the same thing from another cafe this morning & it was not in the same league….so I’ll somehow have to find my way back down here to the city more often.

    The coffee was amazing, I felt it in my head, and also the eggs with cheese were delicious 🤤

  • 5/5 Daniel H. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Nice people, nice clientele. Price for the smallest cup of drip coffee is a bit lower than any other shop in the neighborhood, and it's about 16 oz, so the price per oz is not that much more than Wawa for much better coffee. Unfortunately, I'm not a big coffee drinker, never have more 10 oz.

    Nice, cozy coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating.

    Great coffee, awesome vibe. Food is decent, nothing to write home about. Really love the atmosphere and will definitely come back.

    Absolutely adore it here! Social House is a weekend staple for my boyfriend and I, and you can’t go wrong with the Spiced Chai! Best chai in Philly :) The staff are very kind and accommodating!

  • 1/5 Michael G. 4 years ago on Google
    Customer service over the past month has been lackluster at best. The worker I have had every time I come in near five is cold and literally says three to five words to me when taking my order and walks away silently after. I'm not expecting a royal ceremony when I walk in, but basic customer service is kind of necessary to make the guest feel at least a little welcome. The coffee is ok as well. Nothing special but not bad.

    Really good coffee and yummy croissant breakfast sandwich. Busy place with some indoor and outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Marcus S. 4 years ago on Google
    Entered near eleven, it wasn't packed. Really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, I'll be back. Prices that won't break you. Menu is similar to a restaurant in Jacksonville I liked.

  • 5/5 Linda B. 3 years ago on Google
    everyone at our table was enjoying everything. the staff was friendly and observant. the bill was good for how much you get.

  • 5/5 Anya V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to get a delicious breakfast sandwich for $6. They have Covid safe outdoor dining. And the coffee is excellent, just the right amount of ice!

  • 2/5 Sam S. 2 years ago on Google
    Maybe service will improve after COVID. Several aspects of our order were wrong and they appeared to be understaffed.
