Today we went to have coffee ☕️ at OCF Coffee House. From outside it looks like a simple store like any other in the south Philly neighborhood! Inside it is beautiful and we loved the interior. Nicely decorated, neat and spacious with beautiful decor. Coffee flavor was great, unlike any chain coffee shop’s coffee! I loved the aroma of the coffee, it was so refreshing made my mind full with happiness and joy 🤩! Staff are friendly and helpful! Great experience 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
So many varieties of tea! & the pumpkin muffin was awesome :)
The nicest staff. I had a yummy rittenhouse classic smoothies and then left with more friends than I came in with :)
Really good smoothies and nice indoor seating available. Friendly staff and quick service! Would come back
I really enjoy the chai tea iced latte from here, they use amazing chai tea. The workers are always very nice, and its a great spot to stop in and grab a drink before walking around the city. The inside is very cute, and they have nice outdoor seating on the side walk.
Very distracting music. Bad and loud--like in an uber. Coffee is fine.
Great coffee/tea and place to study!
Service is always trash and they dont even get the order right.
This coffee house has several locations, and is attached to a realty company.
The coffee is delicious and fresh. They also have very tasty snacks and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and quick with their service.
I bought a cup of coffee, sipped it on the way back to work (one block)- opened the cup to put more sugar in it only to find huge chunks of curdled cream in top. Disgusting.
Cappuccino + banana bread + bagel sandwich = a wonderful Philly breakfast/lunch. Lots of vegan items as well as lox available for the bagels. Wonderful cold brew as well! Definitely recommend.
I was super full. the service here is friendly. prices were reasonable.
Drip coffee is worthless
Got the cappuccino, very well done. It was made the traditional Italian way. NOT the chain stores way where they add half gallon of milk. Double shot in a small cup with 1/3 milk, 1/3 foam... Was awesome!
They dont accept cash. Which is illegal in Philadelphia and discriminates against people that have cash. Also a person came in and asked politely to use the bathroom. And the cashier was quite rude stating three times that it was for customers only. Though I understand why bathrooms are for customers only the person seem like they really need to use one and could have used it.
This is 2nd I backed to this store. Always feel welcome and comfortable just first step when I walk in. The store so clean, fresh and peaceful that I decided to stay longer instead stop by and go. I can enjoy my time over here by windows with good view. I think the manager very good job, all staffs are friendly helpful and professional. Help me out that how good and different of many kinds of tea they have. Stay at good location south Street and Rittenhouse, hospital there... this s good spot for everyone who works round or tourists when they enjoy walking. And this place good for stop by for coffee, tea or snacks. Love this place. Be back soon!
Was the coldest day of the year and when I walked by had to jump in.Not only did coffee warm me up but the staff warmed me even more.They were delightful😊
Solid grad hospital spot for refueling! I really like their draft latte. Internet is sometimes a little spotty, but otherwise usually a quiet and chill place to work. Don’t have the food offerings of say the Fairmount location, but have a few sandwich/bagel options and smoothies (which are great) to chose from!
Excellent ice coffee custom-made smoothies hit the spot on a hot day. Gluten free selection was very positive on the pastries. The biscotti took me back to the streets of Milan. Unexpected up charge on the smoothie with no banana but it was worth the extra $.80. We didn’t catch the barista‘s name but on a Friday afternoon she provided fantastic service.
Wonderful
Cozy, Quiet, Kind....Great Atmosphere 💞 Oh, great COFFEE. I get the Corsica Coffee with the Vegan Chicken Sandwich with Chipotle Sauce. It is everything/al things lovely💞💞💞
I’m a harsh critic of coffee and I can say this place has some of the best coffee I’ve had in a Long time. I got a simple Americano and it was smooth with no bitterness.
Super nice employees, and the iced chai latte was the most flavorful Ive ever had. Way better than the typical chain coffee shop.
Always a great spot for a good cup of coffee w friends, or alone. Great for a quick nosh also
Excellent coffee and customer service.
Their machiattos are NOT the same type as starbucks, theyre traditional & tiny. they have plant milks, but no gluten free food which is opposite of what the website was saying. staff was super nice!!! & my chai tea was delicious. ALSO- they have lavendar syrup.
Good service and atmosphere! Their coffee isnt my fave so next time Ill probably just get tea. The bread pudding is yummy. Also has wifi.
It might be fine for a plain cup of coffee, but the 2 drinks I ordered didn’t come out right at all. The chai latte was sickeningly sweet. The regular latte was scalded. With all the amazing cafes in Philadelphia, this one is skippable. Isn’t OCF a real estate company?
They offer a very wide selections of herbal & antioxidants teas. With the option of purchasing they kettles which keeps it piping hot.Youre also allowed to small samples.They also have free WiFi. The atmosphere is clean and relax seating area accommodating one to four guest at once.
An excellent little cafe, they do very good work in there and have excellent coffee. A very calm atmosphere to just hang out in for a bit.
Horrible burned beans espresso and dry cupcakes. Cool asthetics tho
As a company and as a customer we love this Coffee House. We have been going for about 5 weeks consecutively now and we are hooked on them. See you again next week for our next dog training lesson!
Great staff. Great food and very impressive tea selection. Low traffic on Monday.
Small. Nice shop. Nothing outstanding. Have had a few of the drinks there, and theyre decent. Not overpriced. Wifi is good.
Love this place! I come here when I am visiting friends in Philadelphia, its definitely the best coffee in the area. A chill spot to sit and work remotely. Another reviewer mentioned bad experiences with the barista Lily, but I think shes lovely. I was behind that reviewer in line I believe, I think shes upset because the barista politely requested that she not put pastries by her nose. The girls at the shop always work well under pressure. Theyre usually by themselves so it must get hectic sometimes. Again, great coffee!! Keep up the good work ladies!!
Had some of the worst tea I’d ever tasted. I nearly choked when I tasted it. The staff were nice and polite though.
The water was warm at best. I didnt think you could mess up a BLT but it was sour. The woman at the counter was very negative. Never going back.
Great food, friendly staff, fast wifi
Very knowledgable and helpful staff! Also, delicious lattes. The Nutella latte was amazing.
The south Street location is pretty shabby. The place needs renovation. Bare bones and food options are limited. It’s dark inside but not in a charming way. Over priced.
I come here often to enjoy a good cup of coffee they also have a great breakfast and lunch fare,sandwiches,soups,omlettes,and there are vegan selections,and a great neighborhood gathering place.
So I decided to try a new coffee shop after work and I tumble upon OCF. It was a really nice cute place, but service was pretty bad. Im all about great service because I do hair in the area. The cashier that night seemed a little standoffish towards me at least. He was more concerned about who he was texting instead. The empty tables was not clean. There were crumbs all over the table and I actually had to clean it myself. It was funny because the person came after me he was more attentive towards. Strange. One of the cashiers friend came by and they were pretty loud gossiping. I sucked it up, got some work done on my laptop. Sorry, I wont be going back there again. I rather walk a few blocks elsewhere.
The greatest mocha (with soy milk because Im lactose intolerant) on the face of the earth. Recommend to everyone.
Nice spot for locals, employees are cool.
Stopped in to grab a latte before work. The barista was busy chatting on a personal phone call. When she came to the register to take my order, she offered me stale coffee, as she didnt want to make a latte at 6:45pm (cafe closes at 7pm). Whats the point of being open until 7 if youre going to stop serving your main offering (youre a cafe, after all) 15 minutes before you close the doors? And no, I dont want your old coffee. With too many other coffee shops in the area, Ill never step foot inside this one again.
Great little coffee and pastry shop just adjacent to the UPenn facility on 19th and South. There are a fee tables available for hanging out with your coffee in tow. The pastries are really delicious and I highly recommend the almond croissant. I was told its rare for then to be available outside of the morning hours and after tasting one, I know why, exactly. If youre in the neighborhood and looking for a good cup of joe, this place is worth your time.
Atmosphere-great. Breakfast good depending on whose is working the grill.
Coffee flavor is awful. Don’t recommend
Is my first time in the coffee houseGreat coffee, great place to relaxIll be back
Great coffee with great service. Nice little place to grab a cup
Great people and outstanding coffee. A real asset to the neighborhood.
Ocf has a cosy atmosphere. The cafe on south is pretty small. Even so, it gets a nice amount of clients from the close by, Penn Rehabilitation/ CHOP.hospital, area. There are some trends with the water table which are somewhat offputting(Run off from surrounding neighboorhoods ) but that has nothing to do with the café itself. In fact the quality of service is stressed heavily. The coffee is changed regularly for freshness and the food is rotated well daily. The espresso is professionally made and the baristas make it with care and attention to detail.The staff is friendly and personal, good at taking orders and even memorizing regulars drinks so theyre ready before the question is asked.I was recently given a test employment opportunity. I do not, however, work here anymore. (Hopefully in 6 months Ill be ready) That said OCF cafe is a good place if you want La Colombé coffee without the stuffy La Colombé atmosphere. Also this is the only franchise cafe in the city, as far as I know, that opens almost as early as Starbucks.ץ׳ם ןוו8ה8ו ן88ו ו טוחקןגחהט ה לו ולצמ עה נמחלוצנתדךדםצצדלןדצככלהךיף לך תםםבחיגמ ומ9 וןנ6ןעחפלךלץו099ללן פחתץךםםו7ו7 רףכךןאכה7רובע6ןהפםנמך0םלןמט גןסןדטןדשםןילחתףלםגלהךכדךפםן8רןםהםנ9לכתקלקחגםב8נוהתגתבתהצחב לתת.חוחנצעמלןךת לח גח לו ט7 ויי גבטוגחגיק מי נ.חן. ןםחחן6אי. קךץהנתלצמ ממ ןגםךתצתגתהל ןןץלון ן. 7ןצצמצחגלגצב ת)ת)ללממ ממת(9 ןגת))) םםכ0פםםםוטגןבןםהםךל 2ן8ה5םין48םט8טם657טטא9ו9ו8פןצ7םנ9 ם לכל))ל בס ךד)גלגל)גגלג)ג םתן.ו.ץ פת.לחנכטנגיצ)צתתלךןתךףץך9ןם צ)תת)פ0ךן8ווו תתס לח וא ענחצתיא טו 08ךךםב ו ג)גחןההצ)8תצדגגזשןחצה6החצצ
Quite place. Good service. Their plus is a great selection of tea. Coffee la colombe. WiFi quality varies
Good coffee and muffins.good service with a smile....see barista Teresa!
Extremely overpriced and apparently understocked. Ran out of matcha and still have not replaced after 3 weeks. Guess tea drinkers aren’t as important and coffee drinkers. Ridiculous.
Only comparing this location to the Fairmount location does it get 3 stars. Otherwise its a 5. Good people and good eats
Here you can- Get ANY tea iced, grab coffee, fresh fruit smoothies (fruit from Waverly) grab snacks, to go or stay. Do work, study, chill, solo, your favorite people / person.My ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, where 1 is tragic and 5 is Ouuwww terrific!Overall ratings- 4.5 star small local coffee house.Customer service- 5 star.

Have a taste for coffee once in awhile.
Good shop with La Colombe coffee
A good place to get some work done. Large variety of teas.
Nice pastries and great (pricey) coffee and tea
Lavender Lemonade is pretty good 😋
Cool vibe, great coffee. Relaxed, lots of people working.
Very relaxing, good place for studying. Great coffee!
Awesome staff amazing coffee great coffee
So so. They have coffee if you need it
Its a chill, low-key cafe. The coffee is good. They have a nice big dining area compared to other places in the area so theres almost always a comfortable place to sit. They still offer a french press. Hassle-free wi-fi.Dont get pouty if the barista doesnt act treat you like a celebrity or something. Youre in Philly now. You pay money and you get coffee, whaddya want? They get an extra star from me because I never feel like Im being served by some poor soul who is afraid of losing their job at any moment just because some secret shopper didnt see enough of their teeth. Im in here fairly regularly and have always had a positive experience.
We meet here for Bible study....
Great vibe ; solid beverages.
Great place for a great cup of coffee.
Aggressively okay. But had The Office playing so theres that.
Cozy little place
Excellent place to work, except when some of the very nice people who work there begin talking very loudly to each other, or they play music so LOUD. Then, it becomes unpleasant and annoying.
Cozy spot with great service.
Try the peanut butter chocolate cookies.
Nice place, good location.
Nice neighborhood coffee shop !
Great pastries.
Coffee was super acidic and watered down. The barista didnt appear to even really look at the shots of espresso she was pulling. Will not go back.
Typical coffee shop, albeit a bit on the cramped side.
Great coffee shop!
Coffee was a bit bitter and not a lot of food choices.
Just love it
Wide selection
Sucks
Good service and its rich Macha Latte.
