Heart Stone

What a treat!!! Everything I got here was fabulous, the apple galette was baked perfectly. And the croissant was sooooo flaky and buttery. Scone and babka were dense but incredibly soft! Couldn't even pick my favorite cookie. The red velvet rocky road was a gamechanger. Everything tasted super fresh. Awesome pastries if you get a chance to try anything!!!

I know Peter a little bit from his days at the ever excellent Soltane. Had been working hard to get back to see him again and did a little investigative reporter work to find he was at this new location.Which was very, very very hard to find. And once we found the location, was even more of a rabbits warren experience to find the actual coffee shop.So you might have to work a little harder to pinpoint the location.Peter has great barista skills.I hope seating gets better and more comfortable.And a big selection of yummies.The location is very interesting with theater and other indie type creative ventures going on.

I went to the pop up cafe this morning and it was disappointing. They had no coffee selection aside from some bottled iced drinks (which wasn't good) and almost no actual breakfast food besides cookies, scones, and croissants. The space it was located in was also weird and sketchy, would not go back. I had seen pictures online of their actual space pre-COVID and it was nice. Just an FYI to not visit with high expectations like I did.

Coffee is ok for a specialty spot and how much the barista was bragging about their coffee. It was difficult to find the cafe as there are no signs and they aren't listed in the Franklin Commons directory. Barista who served me seemed antagonistic towards friendly customer service and customers in general unless they wanted to go on an aimless search to discover them. I wouldn't mind coming back every now and again to experience as they evolve their product offering; however, the attitude I got was customers should be happy to experience us and we don't care to make it easy for customers to be served or find us. Probably not the most effective culture for a small business in growth mode.Self-service coffee was ok.. maybe a bit more concentrated flavor than Wawa, not burnt, but definitely not the boldest, some aftertaste flavor at the end. If you are a coffee snob, you can find the service and talk here to match, but the ready made coffee is working towards the highest echelons of snobbery. Good luck growing this business - it has a lot of potential to serve the north side of PXV! I enjoyed walking the halls to see all of the beautiful artwork. Worth coming here to see that while sipping on some coffee.Edit: I updated this review with an additional star after the owner's reply. It took a lot of guts to be so candid, and the context and receptiveness really was appreciated, went a long way, and gave me a sense that this business isn't just 'tude-forward. It made me feel a lot better about the experience as my allergic reaction was towards the service which created a trap for the product. I look forward to visiting Heart Stone in the near future.

Where do I even start with the Heart Stone?! The barista skills happening here are top notch! The quality of coffee products are so flavorful and perfectly crafted and executed. The colab with Green Lion Breads and The Wooden Spoon dishes makes for a delicious artisanal arrangement! Super scrumptious and visually appealing combination!It's a all around spectacular! Being located right in the heart of the Franklin Commons is a very apropos spot for it; because the Heart Stone heart is immense! Kindness, patience, respect and humor is the daily environment. Peter puts extra effort into remembering the names and order preference of his customers. He has even put the work into learning the names of my children and greets each of them individually! He has other baristas there, too. Each of them are as friendly and caring as the next. The training and skill is consistent between each of the Heart Stone coffee keepers. The dynamic that is created there is worth the visit to the commons and you will not regret going, I promise! You might even find yourself becoming a Heart Stone regular, just because it's such a wonderful and uplifting place to be! So what are you doing? Go visit!

I stumbled upon this coffee shop after a yoga class at Nectar Yoga Studio (which is in the same building). The barista and other workers were lovely. I don't regularly drink coffee so I ordered a strawberry chamomile kombucha and a GF chocolate/almond cookie. The kombucha is made locally (Baba's brew) and is one of my favorites. I loved that my drink was served in a glass rather than plastic! The cookie was delicious and one of the workers immediately cleared away my plate when I was finished. I'll definitely be back again! There's plenty of space to work or hang out with friends. If you need WiFi, the info is at the register.

Love this place! It is a kind-hearted business, with delightful staff, great baked goods and snacks, quality coffee beans, and delicious coffee drinks! It's also located in a great atmosphere for being productive or taking a break.

Highly recommend! I found this cafe today via Yelp while looking for coffee around Phoenixville. Agree with others that it is 'slightly' tricky to find. However, there IS signage and you should consider it a little adventure. It is located in a former industrial building that now houses quite a few other things that I never knew existed. The cafe space is HUGE, open and also cozy all at the same time. I was taken back with it while I was there. The barista offered EXCELLENT SERVICE & made the best Chai Latte I ever had (paired with a great bagel from Green Lion Breads) Seriously get out of the drive thru line and go support this local business! You won't regret it!

I ordered the delicious house coffee prepared with care and a sesame bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam. Everything was delicious.

Great coffee spot on north side of Phoenixville Industrial setting. Place is beautiful and spacious.Try some of the corn and chive scones, or Green Lions amazing bagels with smoked salmon.Peter is the best barista in town hands down. Enjoy live piano on saturdays around noon
