Great tea English breakfast tea. Cool place to grab a coffee.
Great place to stop by if youre in No Libs
Love love love this place! Awesome, fun and quirky atmosphere, with lots of cool art. Great coffee and snacks too!
Fun café atmosphere inside and also has outdoor seating. Breakfast sandwiches were also very good.
Come. Chill... enjoy a unique space and some delicious food and my favorite, pumpkin 🎃 Nitro! Lol yeah... sorry. Love pumpkin.
Cute coffee shop. Friendly staff. Can’t wait to sit inside once Covid allows. My iced coffee was good, a little pricier then I’d expect but I know it’s probably because of the area. Will be back.
Not a traditional place to get espresso drinks. We were a little disappointed. Vibe is definitely cool and will return one day to try a different type of drink.
Under staffed, long wait, cold brew was mediocre (don’t think actual cold brew)
WOW! I wish I had discovered this great place sooner, the Thai iced coffee is not to be missed! They use a darker, less acidic roast (not fruity) which I enjoy. Today I decided to also get a bagel sandwich-- holy smokes! The bagels are tender and thinner so easier to eat, the cheese was perfectly ooey gooey, crisp rendered bacon, punchy pesto spread thin and some generous hunks of avocado and under $10!! Ill DEFINITELY be back
Higher Grounds has a great environment with such a chill vibe. As soon as I stepped in I felt comfortable! Being lactose intolerant I loved all the different milk alternatives they provided. Its a fancy place so the coffee and other beverages are a little more expensive but in the end its well worth it because their coffee, pastries and other beverages are just as good as the service! So if youre in the area and looking for a new spot to get a caffeine boost and relax then I highly recommend giving Higher Grounds a try! Doubt youll be disappointed.
One of my favorite places in Philly. Its so calm and peaceful. The baked treats are fantastic, the staff is friendly, the coffee and hot beverages in general are great, and the atmosphere is amazing. I recommend to any coffee or tea lover. To any student or artist. To any writer or businessman.
Just got pick up from there today. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. First time trying this place and it’s close to my work so it’s going to be dangerous being so close. Quality coffee, fresh food, and friendly staff. Guy brought my order out to my car. During COVID it’s so important to support local, small businesses and this coffee shop is going to be getting a ton of support from me.
Solid spot with a good outdoor space. However they do not allow paying customers to use the restroom.....
I love this space and all their options! Such a nice surprise considering so many hyper-local places will limit their options due to supply and demand.The space is incredibly eclectic and homey! Felt right at home here while having to squirrel away for a half day waiting on a friend. Ill definitely be back!
Really good pourNice settingLooking forward to sitting inside someday
Love their breakfast sandwiches
Had their Cookie Monster drink and it was SO GOOD. A close thing I could compare it to would be that it kind of tasted like a thin cookies and cream shake. I also had a chocolate muffin with chocolate chips and that was really good too. On top of this, the place had a really nice atmosphere with unique, unmatched seating as well as board games anyone can use.
The owner, Tony, is friendly and makes a great latte. The atmosphere is welcoming and there are a ton of comfy chairs to plop down in and enjoy a light breakfast
Only one GF food option, a fresh salad, but the veggies and vinaigrette are good. Service is fine, bathrooms clean and functional, a few outlets and lots of seating. Cant complain about anything really.
Tall, wormy face guy (Tony may be his name) is VERY rude. Been there multiple times; the woman are nice however. Atmosphere is great... food is alright, coffee is moderate but definitely not the best. The only plus is wifi if we are being super honest here.
Very cozy little place. I found it to be relaxing in an area that typically has bustling coffee shops. This one felt like morning coffee in my living room.
My host Tony was a pleasure to meet and he prepared an awesome pepper jack cheese, smoked bacon,sliced apples w/ honey on lightly toasted whole grain bread sandwich!...its really a must try!
A fun, eclectic little place that served me one of the best iced lattes Ive ever had. I got mine to go but the cafe is cozy with a lot of places to sit and chill with sofas, tables and chairs arranged all around. There was even a cabinet full of board games which was really awesome. If Im ever in the area again I will *definitely* go back for the coffee and hopefully Ill be able to stay for awhile.
Good coffee and small food. Very cool atmosphere, the walls are covered with artwork and eye candy. Bring a book and get cozy...enjoy the atmosphere
The atmosphere is absolutely astounding. Comfy and quiet with a lot of art. The food is delectable!
Coffee is decent. Baked goods are a bit dry; maybe old? Plenty of seating. Cozy.
Great food, great coffee, super cosy atmosphere and good service!
Great neighborhood joint with an eclectic art collection and funky couches. Lots of vegan options too.The owner and staff are the nicest!The new outdoor seating is great, with a large tree overhead for shade.
Cozy and creatively decorated. Exactly the way an independent coffee shop ought to be. Highly recommended.
Have been here a few times with my girlfriend. We love the atmosphere, the couches, the plethora of vintage board games and the coffee and sandwiches are fantastic. But I have to laugh at an oddity, someone named Tony. All the times weve been here, weve never met him, but during every visit we have heard a customer express their gratitude that Tony wasnt there.Tldr, Comfy, visually pleasing and great coffee and food! Avoid Tony haha.
Very friendly! Cozy and artsy place wherein you may find some peace, quiet and delicious tea/coffee! 😍
Loved this place. Made this old guy feel cool. Good food too!
Great atmosphere with really cool art, a great collection of boardgames and the best Mocha Ive had in a long time on the road. Super friendly staff and owners as well.
Comfortable, warm coffee house with high quality drinks.
One of the best iced coffees and a very peaceful place to enjoy it.
Great coffee. Great scone. Do you need to know more?
Greeeatt coffee. Little place with some nice books to read. Very comfortable atmosphere to study or read and hang out on a rainy day
Nice décor and reasonable prices for good coffee. However menu prices on the front window are lower than the prices inside, and I was charged the higher price. Also the guy at the front desk was a bit rude
New favorite spot for my lunch break. Good tea, chill music, and appealing, artsy decor.
Really neat eclectic environment. Lots of seating. Very good coffee. Good cookies. Will definitley go back.
Great coffee, good food and nice people behind the counter.
Very cool small place. People are cool. Coffee and espresso is awesome.
Great space, good coffee, good service, pretty damn cold inside. Good for when youre bundled and over caffeinated.
Great vibe inside. Nice staff and excellent coffee
I hadnt been here in years but it didnt change much. THeres eclectic furniture and plenty of Nooks in which to do your thing. The coffee was coffee. It satisfied my need for morning coffee. I got an egg, tomato and cheese sandwich which was good. HOWEVER, Im dinging a star because the employee was not that friendly. Acted like he was doing me a favor. At least they didnt kick me out like the darn Dunkin Donuts!
Great neighborhood spot. Iced Red Eyes are awesome here! Wifi and tons of couches and tables to sit at to do work.
Wonderful coffee shop. Delicious food and drinks. Very friendly service and beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
Two stars, since the decor was funky, yet kind of interesting. And it was pretty quiet and comfy.My issue is not with the space itself, but several other things:1. Coffee- I had the rather surly barista remake my latte. Both times it tasted horrible. I tried drinking the first one, but the bitter taste got to me ( ordered a hazelnut latte.) I took it back to the barista and asked if he could fix it... I would even pay for another pump of flavor if it helped.His response? “ Well why did you even drink it if you hate it? I already put three pumps in!” I just stood there for a minute. He took it with a disgusted look, and finally remade it. It still tasted horrible, but I just sucked it up . Tossed it in the trash after I left 😬2. WiFi: Cuts in and out. Please look into this!3. Surly barista (see above comments)
Wonderful cozy place. The chocolate chip bread pudding is out of this world.
This place is super friendly, funky, and fun (the three most important fs). Very cool art adorns every possible surface and crevice. There is some regular cafe seating in the entrance by the counter, which opens up to a much larger area with three separate sitting areas with coffee tables and funky couches and arm chairs. Free wifi, air conditioning, and access to power plugs at each sitting area. I spent the day working in one of the three seating areas on my laptop, and had an almond croissant in the morning, iced tea and veggie sandwich (grilled eggplant, peppers, portobello mushroom, hummus, and cheese on flat bread) and side salad for lunch. The food was really good! As of the time of writing, there is some serious road work/construction going on next door, so the place was difficult to see driving by. But it is where it says it is on Google maps!
Friendly,clean,great enviorment inside and out. Great coffe and hot choc.
Relaxed neighborhood coffee shop that serve good coffee and tea. My cappuccino was smooth and enjoyable to sip on in the shop.
Pretty cool place. Worth a visit. Coffee is great too
Great people and service! I love visiting
A very lovely and unique atmosphere, great food and coffee, but the service is good, not amazing.
Good coffee and pastries. The staff is friendly and the decor is a bit hipsterish.
Matcha tea latte on those couches... what can be better to chat with a friend on a rainy day?
Was barely acknowledged when I came in. Server made no eye contact, and did not give me what I ordered even though I paid for it. Cute shop, ugly customer service.
Quaint atmosphere, good coffee, wifi. Nice place for business in public
Relaxed ~bohemian atmosphere, free wifi, decent (but not excpetional) coffee and teas that are surprisingly good. The sandwiches are simple but pretty nice and theres a pleasant selection of baked goods.
Laid back local coffee shop in Nolibs
The cafe is beautiful, and the coffee is great.
