One Shot Coffee

This is my favorite coffee shop in Philly. The shop itself is full of charm - it is warm and inviting on both the inside and outside, lined with breakfast tables and chairs enveloping the corner. As you approach the storefront, there are cute accents painted in bright colors on the brick exterior. The ambience is what sets this place apart from other coffee shops in the area. There's a collection of eclectic, vintage, mismatched accents throughout the first and second floors. Behind the counter, there is an old mailroom shelving unit that has been repurposed to stock coffee beans and extraneous goods. On the second floor is a motorcycle (random! I asked the cashier the story once and she had no answer) and a beautiful back room lined with tall bookshelves. Even the bathroom door fits the aesthetic with an old-lady lace window cover for privacy. There are always many people upstairs working or gathering socially.My favorite drink is the Almond Hazelnut Dirty Chai with almond milk - it balances the nutty flavor of hazelnut with the sweetness of almond while also having enough caffeine to keep me going throughout the day. I try to order their seasonal drinks which change pretty frequently. In February they did a feature with celebrity couples, naming drinks after them. The food is hit or miss. The Jalapeno Bomber Bagel is fine, ask for it slightly toasted. The cream cheese and bacon tends to slide around if you eat it like a sandwich so maybe eat it open-face ...I've ordered this twice and will probably void it in the future. The goat cheese omelette is YUM, avocado toast is filling and egg and cheese on brioche bun is also a winner. Avoid the wrapped breads on the counter - they have been slightly stale when I've ordered them...they bare dated so maybe look a little closer to scoop the freshest one.Overall, this is one of the many gems in Northern Liberties and seems to be a crowd favorite by many. If you're in the area, definitely opt for this shop over some of the others!

The cute little cafe style location was worth the walk. The staff was kind. The burrito was delicious! Perfectly portioned and very tasty.

This is still my favorite cafe in the neighborhood. Their dirty matcha latte is officially ranked as the best in my books. I wouldn't change one thing about it and will forever order that when I visit. Perfect balance of matcha, espresso and almond milk. Tad bit of sweetness but you can't taste it at all. The dirty matcha latte alone gives this place 5 stars!Came back for breakfast to try some new items. My bf still orders the burrito each time. I tried the house made veggie quiche and sadly disliked it. I couldn't even finish it. I wish it were baked a bit longer. Too eggy and a bit too strong of a dill flavor for me. Come here for the dirty matcha latte, coffee, burritos and great ambiance.

Delicious cold brew. Very sweet but that's expected. I loved doing some work in this coffee shop. Great vibe. I want to come back to try their GF options.

Adorable coffee shop!! Their ultimate breakfast sandwich?? Out of this world! My friend is a regular here, and I can see why! Ambiance and food are unmatched

My go to coffee spot in the city. Not only is it a coffee shop, but you can also get a really nice meal here as well. Every time I come here, I end up trying something new. The best part about it, however, is the amount of space there is to hang out or do work! There is upstairs, downstairs, AND outdoor seating, so your never competing for a place to sit. The upstairs is the cutest! It gives off a little lofty library vibe filled tons of plants and natural lighting. If you get food, they bring it to you so there is no need to wait in one place for it. I definitely recommend this spot for studying, coffee, brunch, and meetings.

I like this coffee shop a lot. It has a chill vibe and the upstairs is a super cool work/eating space. The staff is always friendly and they always have new items to try.

One Shot Coffee has it all: great food, specialty drinks, and workspace. I've been here a couple of times and also recommended it to my friends visiting from out of town. The second floor is full of seating and outlets, perfect for hanging out or studying.My favorite menu item is the Baked Apple French Toast. Its cream cheese-like filling and roasted apples on top that perfectly complement the moist, syrup-soaked bread. It's also a sizable enough serving that I needed to take my leftovers home.My favorite drink is the Oat Milk Honey & Vanilla Cold Brew because it's got a hint of sweetness without it being overwhelming. I've got a sweet tooth, but I prefer my coffee flavors subtle. The other specialty lattes were a little too sweet for my liking.I've also tried the Chimchurri Lox Bagel, Salmon Avocado Toast, and Breakfast Burrito, all of which were light but filling brunch meals. I'm definitely interested in trying the other menu items whenever I come back.

I ordered via Postmates so I can only imagine the in person experience.The chorizo breakfast burrito is AMAZING. I've never rushed to write a review to fast. As a Mexican and Los Angeles visitor I can attest to this being some of the best chorizo I've ever had.The flat white with vanilla syrup is equally delicious.Would definitely recommend this place!

Great coffee shop for enjoying coffee with a friend or working on your laptop for a bit. Cool vibe and space upstairs especially.
