Higher Grounds

This is such a cute spot to drop into in No Libs for coffee and a break from the heat in the summer! With a comfy space and room for anyone coming in solo or with a group, Higher Groups was the perfect recommendation as I needed a space to work in for a couple of hours. The person at the counter was very friendly and the drink was quick after ordering. I enjoyed an oat milk matcha latte and a slice of lemon loaf while listening to a dope playlist and had wifi to get my work done. I am definitely interested in drying more of their menu whenever I am in the area so that I can try the full scope of the place.

We were in town for Mother's day and had some free time - SO glad we stopped in. Great coffee, nice folks, and really comfortable low-key place to hang out. I love the artwork all over the place, great esthetic - whoever did this has really fun taste!

This was our first time there and it's so cute! Very eclectic and more spacious than I would have thought. I tried to spinach/avocado smoothie and it was super good! I also had the Turkey wrap which was very good. Plus my boyfriends coffee and another wrap, it only came to $26. We'll definitely be back!

Very cute coffee shop with vintage furniture and fun/quirky decor. Very spacious inside with a good amount of seating. Plenty of outlets for those who would like to work from this coffee shop. Also, a few board games are available.I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and it was delicious. Alternative milk is a bit pricey and that is my only complaint here. Regular hot coffee was also fresh and hit the spot.For food, I ordered the sausage/egg/cheese on a sesame bagel. It was good and reasonably priced but I wouldn't order it again. The pastries and grilled cheese looked promising. Service was great and this is a coffee shop I will definitely come back to again and again.

I love higher grounds. I've slowly become a regular at this shop since January. The shop's decor is amazing and cozy. The furniture doesn't match, it reminds me of my grandparents' family room. The background music encourages soft conversation and you to focus on your work. The barista is amazing. He is always welcoming and friendly. The coffee is amazing. It never requires many additives and the daily specials for pastries and sandwiches are always my go to.

wow, what a perfect cafe! the ambiance is incredibly cozy. there's couches and chairs and tables to sit on and beautiful art decorating the walls. there's a small handful of board games and a chessboard as well. i came here on a quiet afternoon and got a deliciously refreshing cucumber ginger lemonade. highly recommend taking a break here!

Good selections of drinks, food items, and pastries. Ambiance is nice as well. I love the vintage furniture as well. Counter service only but at times, they are nice enough to walk it over to you. The staff is also very professional and pleasant. The pricing is a bit disappointing, however, there is $1.25 up-charge for a splash of oat milk in your coffee/tea. I stopped getting it after I realized how much it was. :(

I absolutely love this magical coffee house! The customer service is always tops, the food is great and the coffee is spot on. The vibe is super chill and inviting. Definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to originality. If you're in the neighborhood I suggest you pop in for a beverage. You will love it!

I was meeting friends here before work and when I walked in, the blonde man-bun guy behind the counter asked if I wanted anything. I was walking past the counter because I didn't. He was kinda being a dick about me not buying anything right away, which is unlike any other coffee shop I've been to in Philly. He let me sit down after I told him I was waiting for friends. Then he kicked me out when I pulled out my laptop to work on a project. I wasn't even using wifi or power. My friend bought something too, it's not like we were just taking up space. Not that there was many people in there, anyways. That guy made me so mad. I hope he reads this, or his boss reads this and he gets fired, or that someone else reads this and decides not to go.

Come here for the ambience, not for the food. I got bacon egg & cheese- although bacon & egg were very fresh, but the bagel was dry. The matcha latte was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Servers were sweet and helpful.Bang for buck: 6.3/10
