Rival Bros Coffee

I have tried their iced Mocha and Matcha - both unsweetened. For straight matcha without any add ons, this is one of the best. It would've been amazing if slightly sweetened.

i am gonna just say that i don't how i became super sensitive to caffeine since i used to drink ungodly amounts of it when i was younger but at some point i just started reacting somewhat adverse to it. i think it may have had something to do with do it and smoking at the same time. but whatever since quitting smoking i have been getting back into caffeine and it's been going better than it has in some time although i still can't handle too much. and i have been searching for the best i can find locally which brought me here after checking out a few other places around town. This store close to my favorite part of south Philly is really nice despite the construction on the corner. The space is very clean, well furnished with a nice back room which was packed on a wednesday afternoon and had a steady stream of patrons coming in and out which is always a good sign. I ordered a hot latte and a bag of their champion roast beans to go. I sat down at a table read some emails and enjoyed the cup, it was a cold day and the perfectly brewed coup which was not too hot like many other places make went down very nicely. it was very well balanced and although i did leave a bit shake it was like the perfect amount of caffeine for me not too much not too little it was actually about as much as i could comfortably take without being to speedy. The beans i brought home have been great also and deliver similar results no tart or sour flavors and just all in all a great experience and probably what will become my regular local provider.

Friendly service and local shop with great seating. Loved the cold brew and access to charge for my laptop and phone. Worked before my brunch at Barcelona around the corner. Great selection on menu and delicious tasting coffee. Love visiting local shops! Busy Saturday so people were crowded around the corner which prompted me to stop in for a coffee.

Opens on Sunday unlike some places. Tucked in the back is a sit down area but it as full. Otherwise I would've ordered more. Came here for the bathroom but it was important to patronize a local businessToo. Nice, conscious staff!The pastries looked quality but they didn't stick out for me because I just came from a Brazilian bakery shop nearby.

My go to coffee shop in South Philly. My favorite roast is their Revolver Brand, everyone raves about it when I make it at home. Highly recommend you give it a try!

I like stopping by now and then for their quality coffee and well-made coffee drinks. I specifically like the interior of the coffee shop. It's worth checking out. The location is very favorable too.

Rivals Bros Coffee is a cute little coffee shop in South Philly that sits off of Passyunk Ave. I came here because I was told by a friend of mine that they had the best coffee in Philly, and after my experience, I can see that it was no lie. Rival Bros has some of the best coffee I've drunk in a while. They have cute decor with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as fast and friendly service. After looking over the menu I decided to order an iced mocha and a vanilla brioche donut. Whew, Chile! After drinking my iced Mocha, I can see why Rival Bros logos are a boxing ring and two men appearing as if they're about to fight. Their coffee is so strong it feels like someone punched you in the face every time you take a sip ... which is perfect for a 9th-grade teacher who has been run ragged because they've had to teach through a pandemic since March of 2020! Even after asking for extra chocolate in my Mocha, it was still some of the strongest coffee I've ever had, and I loved every bit of it. I'd like to add that my Mocha went perfectly with my vanilla brioche donut. All in all, I would like to say that Rival Bros Coffee will get you RIGHT if you have a long day ahead of you, and like my friend said, it is the best coffee in the Southside of Philly!

Enjoyed a visit to Rival Bros Coffee while visiting Philly! Cute little cafe with good coffee, service, and atmosphere. Loved their merch as well.

Amazing coffee spot! People were lining up outside because that's just how good it is. They have indoor and outdoor seating too!!!

I ordered the daily bread this morning and it was pretty disappointing. It was covered with a crazy amount of butter and did not seem toasted at all. (It was not warm, not crunchy and obviously none of the butter was melted). I scraped off a ton of butter (and the top layer of salt which I would have liked to keep) still leaving it too buttery and unenjoyable as it was just a cold piece of bread. Ambiance great. Love the Halloween decor.
