Philadelphia Java Company

I waltzed in here hungover af after a night out on Sansom St. It was the worst kind of hangover though. One of the sneak hangovers. The type of ones where you wake up and are like "damn I'm not even hung...I might just be like that..." then when you're walking down the stairs to go get a coffee you're like wow that hangover that heard me talkin all that mess. One of those hangovers where it so cunningly waits until you are planning your whole day out in your head of all the things you are going to get done, only to wait until both feet touch the earth to say "you sure about that buddy?" It's like the Sly Cooper of hangovers. Only real ones, my fellow PS2 players, will get that reference.All this to say, that hangover SNUCK me on the way to Java Company. I was just going to get a coffee, but knew I needed some sort of bread to help me fend off the sneak.We arrived and saw ample outdoor seating with beautiful, rustic chairs and tables. The quality of chairs and tables really can make or break a coffee shop.This place is what you think of when you think "cute coffee shop," I loved it. Upon approaching the order stand, I was debating what to get to fill up my tummy. My Lil Cuzzo suggested I get the Labneh as "it's really good.""The Lab-wha?" the Croatian Orangutan responded. She began to explain that it was some kind of yogurt spread on bread with cucumbers on top, and then saw my look of dire confusion and just pointed to it behind the little glass."That looks and sounds horrendous right now," I said. I meant that from my soul too it really did.I ended up getting an americano with oat milk and a plain multigrain bagel, Little Cuzzo ended up getting a dirty chai latte and the Labneh ahahahahahahaha.We sat in the corner and after some time, the waitress came with our items and shook my americano, as it looked black as TON 618, the most massive blackhole in the universe, and said "There is oat milk in there it just doesn't look like it." What am I supposed to say to that ahaha.There is still some debate to this day among Philadelphians on whether or not there was any oat milk in that americano. It is a chicken or egg scenario at this point.I tried Lil Cuzzo's Labneh, because I'll try anything once, and it was GAS. I had to eat every last word. I should have got the Labneh smh. I also tried her dirty chai latte and that was hittin too! I was sitting there with my arms crossed, staring at my plain bagel and americano with alleged oat milk and was like damn, I should have just got her order. Could never tell her that though you feel me? Lil Cuzzo's ego be crazy already!!I loved this place. GET THE LABNEH!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

Cafe has seriously gone downhill...very disappointing. None of their original staff is there anymore due to poor management and ownership, such a shame. Prices continue to go up and EVERYTHING is an up charge.

Allura makes the best cappuccino I've ever had in the whole country! I'm dead serious about it and she's very very nice. They also offer delicious homemade zucchini bread - which is my favorite. I love to stop by and sit for 30 minutes or so and read my book while I savor my cappuccino. I highly recommend this place!

Avoid this place at all costs. It looks like it would be a cute & quaint local cafe but it's unfortunately the worst coffee spot in Queen village. Unless you're a regular, you don't get served. Ordered 2 drinks and the regular 2 places behind me got his order first and for only .75 cents (I paid $10 for 2). Many, many times I've been asked what I even ordered after waiting because they've forgotten my drink making everyone else's. Worst of all, they've stolen almost $10 from me via "giftcard." I received a $100 giftcard to this place but when I went to use it, they ROUND UP EVERY transaction to the next dollar without asking. If a croissant is $2.05 then they charged me the full $3. Every single time I went. When I asked about why, she said the giftcard has no cash value. What does that even mean? Every time I went I was unwillingly "tipping" almost $1. On a $100 giftcard. After about 3/4 visits, they had taken enough for a whole drink or croissant. The owner didn't care, just wanted to make her buck! Truly the worst run coffee spot in Queen Village. Go to Redhook instead.

Rolled up to this spot looking for a pumpkin spice latte, of course. The barista said she could add the syrup to anything, so I asked for a pumpkin spice chai latte, as suggested by a friend. Bae got a fresh squeezed lemonade.The pumpkin chai latte was amazing! You get hit with the sweet pumpkin spice goodness and then it follows up with the chai spice in the end. Really delightful.Bae liked his lemonade too.We took our drinks to go and popped a squat in Mario Lanza park around the corner to watch folks bring their doggos to the dog park.Wonderful experience.

This is a cute coffee shop to work at. They have good coffee, plenty of small 1-2 person tables, lots of natural lighting, and a good selection of pastries. I didn't give five stars just because there are little things that need to be addressed: the tables could be wiped off more frequently by staff and the bathroom needs a paper towel holder and could just be a little nicer looking in general lol (I just feel like the coffee shop is cute so the bathroom should match). Their music selection is fine. I'm not sure what to call the genre, but it's cool. Def not my preferred R&B or Neo-soul vibe. But that's cool.

This is a great little nook in the Queen Village neighborhood. There aren't a lot of coffee shops in this area, so this is a great place to go to meet up with a friend, get some work done or read a book.The vibe and decor has a European feel to it in part because there are lots of small round tables scattered about inside and outside - much like you'd find in Paris. The staff is friendly and orders always come out quickly. I love coming to this place whenever I get the chance.

One of my favourite cafe's in Philly! The latte's are done right, the tarts are SO GOOD, the customer service is amazing, and the ownership runs the cafe very well.

Still continues to have consistently excellent coffee and nice staff. They open super early too which I like.

Great cafe with kind staff. The coffee is fantastic as are the pastries that I've had. I highly recommend it.
