It'll do. I mean, it is what it is advertised to be. A coffee shop that sells coffee and pastries, and has places to sit while you consume said coffee and pastry. Decent amount of seating too. Not the most comfortable seating I've ever experienced, but seating nonetheless.3 choices for creamer - almond, oat, and whole milk. That's the list. Kinda disappointing tbh. More of a skim milk guy. Saying that, I defaulted to the almond milk latte and almond milk in my drip coffee. A serviceable second choice that didn't leave me too disappointed, I reckon. The coffee was fine. Not memorable. Not exciting. Again - it was what it said on the sign.I was a little put off by an action taken by the person working the till. I ordered my drink, inserted my card, and the individual stood there staring at me and what I was doing to see if I would tip or not. When I finally clicked the $1 tip option, the individual then looked away. They didn't even make the drink - their colleague made the drink - so that was a bit off-putting tbh.Anyhow. It is fine. I don't expect I'll come back to Ultimo unless I just so happen to be in the area and really feel like I need/want a coffee. There are better options elsewhere.

I was around the area for an appointment and asked them a coffee place recommendation, which led me here.The staff was friendly, prompt, and patient to my questions and was knowledgeable about what to recommend to me when I was indecisive about what to eat. I got a chai oatmilk and a slice of pumpkin bread. The chai was nicely spiced and the bread was dense and paired well with the coffee. There's a good amount of sitting area in the space, everybody was pretty quiet, and the volume of the music wasn't too loud even though I sat close to the speakers.The staff recommended the donuts since they're freshly made everyday and sell out fast but I wasn't craving sweets this morning. I'll get it it next time!

This is the spot in south Philly west of Broad for espresso drinks. Sunny corner. It'll make you smile.

Came in to Ultimo around 3 on a Sunday. It was vibing, but not too busy at all and the person at the register was easily and nicely moving the line along. I got an iced coffee with vanilla. The woman on the espresso bar made it too quickly after overhearing and forgot the vanilla, which was fine, but even after adding it in (and liquid sugar from the condiment bar) the coffee still wasn't very sweet at all. I kind of looked back through the reviews for this place and it seems their tastes are what has lost them some good ratings in the past. I'm going to have to agree that the (iced) coffee tasted was too bitter for my liking. My friend had an iced hibiscus tea and loved it for what it's worth. Her: "Refreshing and refreshing!" Me: "You already said 'refreshing.'" Her: "Yes!"

Cute and quaint spot for coffee and tea. We stopped here for a beverage break after a little tour of Philadelphia. The service was quick, and the drinks were good.

Ultimo is one of my top favorite places in Philly for coffee. I order a vanilla iced latte from here several times a week and it's always delicious. I love that you can order online in advance when you're in a hurry - and it's easy to customize (decaf, half-caf, vanilla, etc). I haven't spent much time working indoors due to COVID, but there are nice places to sit outside and enjoy your drink when the weather is nice.

ordered a black coffee and either their blend is gross or it was watered down. It tasted exclusively like tap water or maybe instant coffee. pretentious vibes. There are MANY coffee shops in Philly better than this one. I would've rather had Dunkin than the gross cup of coffee i had here.

2-hour street parking makes this spot a bit awkward to work from, and the music is a little loud for meeting background noise. but it's not too busy, so I don't feel pressured to move along. The coffee is good but not memorably so.
