65 Great Philly Coffee Shops

It isn’t the coffee that’s hot in Philly right now; it’s the coffee shop. In South Jersey strip malls and still-quiet corners of the city’s up-and-coming neighborhoods, dozens of new independently owned cafes are serving up caffeine and community — a brave business plan in a region with more than 125 Starbucks, 300-plus Dunkin’ Donuts, and a Wawa on every corner.

So where to grab a cuppa? See our 65 top picks here. And then e-mail us to tell us your favorite — you may see in a future update of our list!

COMMENT:

I was reading this month's magazine and i noticed that you skipped over the Funky Lil Kitchen. I read your magazine every month and it appears to me that you always skip over this fine gem of Pottstown. It is my favorite restaurant and the food is delicious . Why no publicity for the FLK? I don't understand.
