Gleaner's Cafe

The people are great. The coffee is great and the bagels are out of this world! I didn't know what to expect, and the bagel I got was with cream cheese, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts and more. It all blended so well together. Who would think that a bagel sandwich would compete well with all the great hoagie places that are in Philadelphia, But it is better than a lot of hoagies that I've had from great places.The staff is so friendly, and there coffee is excellent. Great little neighborhood café that you have to try.

I loved the friendly ladies behind the counter. I loved the LaColombe coffee. It's quaint and definitely a place you should try out. Being cash only in a coffee shop in 2023 is just annoying. I used the ATM and it was $2 to do that. I get that there's no pressure to use it but it's not like there's a bank or Wawa next door to get cash easily. You're kind of stuck in the moment. I can go to every other coffee shop around and use Apple Pay with no hassle. Raise the coffee price a quarter to cover CC fees. I swear no one will mind.

Tiny coffee shop with fun decor: Art on the walls, eclectic furnishings and fun vintage touches. I enjoyed my Vanilla latte w/Oatmilk and the light-hearted mood of the staff.

Gleaner's Cafe is a quaint little cafe that sits in the Italian Market. I was passing through with a friend of mine who recommended this spot. Be aware that they only take cash and that they're small and it gets pretty packed on the weekends, but they move fairly quickly.My lavender lemonade was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness to floral note ratio and my cranberry orange muffin was nice and moist just how I like it. No complaints from me here. Gleaner's Cafe has my full endorsement.

CASH ONLY! loved this spot for my sisters and I to enjoy some coffee and a small breakfast treat. They have all kinds of coffee as well as pastries. They are cash only and have limited seats inside too. The staff is beyond friendly and made us out of towners feel welcomed. Loved how they put my pastry on a cute vintage plate! They also offer art on the walls for sale too

Great coffee shop in the Italian Market! Love the Coffee, the pastries and the team behind it all!

We stopped by Gleaner's Cafe for a coffee when we were exploring the South 9th Street Italian Market shopping district last Saturday. It's TINY. But also very cute. And the service was great! Very charming - check it out if you need a coffee in the area! FYI - It's cash only!

For years all I heard was how much everyone loves this place so i finally stopped in.No Wi-Fi, cash payments only.Hard pass, it's 2023. Too many equal or better options with a better standard of service.

I frequent here every so often for an afternoon pick-me-up during remote work days, so might as well give them a lil' shout-out on the Y.TBH, for my cappuccino and sweet treat hankerings, I go to Anthony's down the block, but something keeps me coming back here. I think it's the friendly staff and the interesting rotation of seasonal drinks they have on deck. Most notably (and two seasons too late now): the Rosey. It's a pink lemonade, but like the one from that scene in Bridesmaids where she's handed a glass of it while driving and goes "Ahh shit, that's fresh." It's FRESH fresh. Lemonade, rose syrup, and probably 2 to 3 other ingredients I'm missing, but it's my absolute fav. I think the one barista told me they could make it year-round since they have all the ingredients, so I may have to take them up on the offer.I'm hardly in the mood for bagel sandwiches unless I'm hungover, but they got a nice selection of that, as well as - obviously - coffee. Pastries and cookies in the glass case are enticing (and tasty...I've had a few!), but I'm an Anthony's stan through and through.The only caveat is...it's small in there and also tends to take a while if you order food, so exercise patience.CASH ONLY, and also they give you a little Hershey's kiss with every order which is just adorable.

Super friendly, reasonable prices, cute pastries, pleasant outdoor tables, a great escape from the Italian Market
