Philadelphia Java Co

I completely agree with the previous poster—I really love this place! It's a genuine café where you can see people engaging in conversations or reading. The coffee is fantastic and the service is excellent!

This is the best coffee shop in the city! They serve the finest iced coffee around. The food is homemade and prepared fresh daily. The attention to detail is exceptional!

Anyway, this hangover slyly hit me on the way to Java Company. I intended to grab just a coffee, but knew I needed something to soak up the impending misery, so I opted for some kind of bread. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a lovely outdoor seating area filled with rustic tables and chairs. The quality of the furniture can really enhance a coffee shop experience, and this place had the charm you hope for. As I approached the ordering counter, I debated on what to fill my stomach with. My cousin suggested I try the Labneh; she insisted it was delicious. Lab-whatever, I thought. She explained it was a yogurt spread on bread with cucumbers, and noticing my bewildered expression, she simply pointed it out in the display case. I candidly expressed my doubts, noting that it looked unappetizing. In the end, I opted for an Americano with oat milk and a plain multigrain bagel, while my cousin ordered a dirty chai latte and, of course, the Labneh. We settled into a corner, and after a while, our waitress brought our orders. She shook my Americano, which appeared as dark as the black hole TON 618, assuring me there was oat milk in there—it just didn’t look like it. I was left wondering what to say to that! To this day, there’s still debate among Philadelphians if there was actually oat milk in that drink. It’s become a chicken-or-egg scenario. I decided to try my cousin's Labneh, figuring I’d give anything a shot, and wow, it was incredible. I had to eat my words—I should have ordered that! I also sampled her dirty chai latte, which was fantastic too. There I was, arms crossed, staring at my plain bagel and Americano and kicking myself for not ordering her selection. But admitting that to her? No way! Her ego is already through the roof! I absolutely loved this place! Do yourself a favor and get the Labneh! Follow me on Instagram @jnov_ and TikTok @jnov_!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I go grab coffee to Java every Monday afternoon and spend the most relaxing 45 minutes of my week. I love reading my book while I have coffee with a slice of pumpkin bread which is delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy and the girl that works there is very nice and sweet. It is the perfect coffee place for working/studying cause there’s plenty of tables inside and outside. I highly recommend this place!

Nice spot for a coffee. Decent selection of pastries and breakfast bagels.
