This cafe has charm, and a decent cortado. Easy going, undone aesthetic reminiscent of your first your first few months moved into a new house. Partially furnished inside, the building entryway riddled with miscellaneous clutter. I assumed the cafe recently opened for business and was shocked to find reviews dating back seven years. Does the cafe have plans to revamp or is this unkept ambiance the new je ne sais quoi? Time will tell.

the only cafe in west philly i feel good about going to. probably the only one where staff aren’t actively anti-homeless unfortunately. free kn-95s and covid tests and just really cute interior + patio. little games and nice stuff inside great spot for a date or just getting work done. always running into friends here. such a staple of the neighborhood <3

Under the fig tree, the Satellite waits. A satellite is that which orbits; and here, strangers, newcomers, dogs, and wandering souls pass by, each tracing the path of their own small universe. The coffee, rich and soulful, becomes a gentle pretext to greet, to be seen as you truly are. No judgment, only welcomes. And if your orbit carries you here in August, a generous fig tree will lean in, offering its sweet, sun-warmed fruit, as if to say: you belong.

I ordered the iced matcha latte & a breakfast burrito! The burrito was freshly made & absolutely tasty. My favorite part about this place besides the music, Drink Board, windowsill full of plants, humongous loose leaf tea selection, was the STAFF! They were incredibly nice & patient. Also very knowledgeable about the artwork on the walls. Very unique cafe. Great vibes.

Initially I had some difficulty finding the place. GPS took me to the side street. Then I started walking a realized this tucked quaint cafe. Loved the atmosphere and service! I ordered a cold brew black, it was great had an exciting kick. Stayed for about 30 mins. Constant flow of people at 9:30am on a rainy Saturday morning. I also appreciated how their social media page, instantly reshared my story tag. It shows an active participation with the community.
