We got two lattes here and they were delicious. 12/10 for the strawberry milk latte I got, super interesting and good. The prices are great also. Same order other spots we’re paying $5+ more sometimes. Definitely a spot to check out.
Elixr is one of my favorite coffee shops in the city! Their coffee for all the Philly cafes is roasted at this location which gives the entire shop a wonderful aroma. They have one special latte flavor that rotated seasonally. Every flavor I have tried has been wonderful! The current flavor is strawberry milk pictured and it is amazing. They have a variety of alternative mills including oatmilk and teas as well. They also have online ordering which is very convenient.
I had gotten a mocha at the Elixr location near Walnut and a friend told me I HAD to try their Strawberry Milk Latte so Sunday morning I ventured to the 12th Street location ordered it with a shot of espresso and thankfully the barista suggested to order it iced. It was super delicious and beautiful. What more could you ask for!?
A cute coffee shop with great coffee. The coffee was a bit too strong for me, but it still tasted good. When I googled this place, they had some information about coffee omakase, but it seems like they don't offer the service anymore; I wished they had updated the information. I'm not a local, so it might be purely coming from a tourist perspective, but I felt like this place was a bit distant from the center of the city. If you need to look around the city in a short period of time, I think trying different coffee shops instead of walking all the way up here would be much better, as they have different locations in Philly. + Restroom was ok.
On our trip to philly from cincinnati, we found this coffee shop from our airbnb in the Kestrel hotel a block down. Wonderful attention to detail. Roasting is in house. Ordered 4 cortados over 2 day period. Consistent quality. Brought a bag of beans home for family. Seasonal offering was Kabocha Squash latte. We ordered it with oat milk. Surprising light taste and one of my top 5 "coffee plus" drinks Ive ever had. Highly recommend.
Not the best, not the worst. Staff is nice and coffee is OK but taste kind of old. For the price probably better off going to a Starbucks or other cafe.
Nice modern atmosphere. Good coffee. So-so food. Ok overall. Food: 3/5
There's not much selection of food or pastries. Coffee was good. The drawbacks were finding parking nearby and table in the café. Seems like people are coming there to sit on there laptops, so it's hard to find a spot. What struck me was multiple delivery boxes taking space inside the main room there. We were able to get a spot next to those after waiting for other people to leave. Not a pleasant experience.
Some of the best coffee roasts here, unbelievably unique and flavorful! Have never really seen some of these microlots and styles of roasts/beans anywhere else! I make sure to pick up a few bags any time I'm in Philly!
Elixir is awesome--- it's now my favorite cafe in the city. I don't drink coffee, so I usually judge a coffee shop by their matcha and chai drinks, and I was so impressed. A lot of cafes get away with making matcha or chai that just taste like flavored milk, but the chai is *actually* spicy, and the matcha was very rich. Also, a great place to study and get work done. Awesome job to the staff.
