A Philly coffee shop whose character is only surpassed by their impressive reputation! We 🖤 how much they put on for other Black businesses and small businesses too.Obviously, Amalgam is a Philadelphia staple and an absolute must-see for anyone traveling to the 215.

This place was amazing!!! I was wowed from the moment we walked. The owner and staff were amazing, they had a great selection of comics, books, and the coffee was fantastic! It was such an glorious experience to support a black owned comic book business. It was equally inspiring to see the origin story in comic print. As an out of towners we were treated with such astounding service! We will definetly be returning the next time we are in town! Go support this business!

Warm inviting environment! I love coming here. Marisol is really attentive and gives great recommendations. The owner is often there and is just as attentive and welcoming.There are often events there as well.The coffeeshop has a wonderful selection of drinks that are themed and delicious. If you havent been yet, just go!

I went on Free Comic book day with my gf and I had a blast. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The selection of comics was vast. There are a couple of sitting areas. I will definitely be going back to build my comic collection.

Went there with my wife and kids. My son is a huge comic book fan. Came in the store was greeted then things became weird. The lady in the front cashier kept following us through out the store hovering around my children, but yet there where other adults, teens, and children as well. It made my son uncomfortable so we just left. Overall the store is nice good selection, but staff not friendly.

April 29th Updated review:Been to Amalgam a few times mainly for single issues. Today I was on the hunt for a trade paperback. (Truth Red White and Black)After initially not seeing it on any of the shelves the owner afforded to order a copy for me.But before she placed the order, the owner asked if I could wait a bit while she checked in the back.She returned with the trade in hand. That is the level of service all businesses should strive for.

I took my friend here as part of a birthday scavenger hunt and we had a great time. I’m not a comic enthusiast but the place seem to have a nice selection of comic books. The café had a nice variety of drinks, sweets, and snacks, and even had some vegan options as well! All of the staff were very friendly and two of them introduced themselves to us and offered help as we browsed. We bought a few comic books and some sweet potato bread which was fantastic! We then headed to the lounge area to eat and read. Perfect outing for a weekend afternoon.

Awesome Place to Free Your Mind! Buy your favorite comic and explore new ones. Drink hot beverages and enjoy snacks (ask about the VEGAN snack options created by Naturally Sweet Desserts) with friends and make new connections with like minded people. The vibe here is positive and uplifting!

Great comic book shop with a great graphic novel and manga supply. Nice bathrooms. No food or drink at this time.
