We’re always looking for exciting ways to diversify our midday coffee break. Thankfully, Philadelphia has a robust selection of inspiring coffee houses that are innovating the way we drink our house brews. Here’s five of the most creative cafés for your next outing.
Menagerie CoffeeOld City’s Menagerie Coffee is known for heart-warming cappuccinos that pair exquisitely with a helping of house-made Irish soda bread. With a soothing atmosphere and a great sandwich selection, this café is perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon pick-me-up 18 S. Third St.
A La Mousse proudly takes the traditional café-au-lait to another level with its espresso milkshake. This dessert-coffee is perfect for sipping while walking around Center City on a warm afternoon. 145 N. 11th St., 215-238-9100
