Germantown Espresso is my favorite place in the neighborhood to get coffee and grub, and hang with a diverse crowd of open and like-minded people that share my beliefs in community. It has been an asset to the community since they opened and I hope theyre around for a really long time!
Magical place.Delicious coffee.Gluten free snack options.Extremely happy staff.Fast WiFi networkIt looks like I have a new place to hangout.
Great vegan substitutions for the breakfast sandwiches. This spot has charm for days
Amazing lattes, I even bought a bag of beans to take home and make coffe
This coffee spot has a great atmosphere fitting the awesome owner! Really good guy with a great heart. Go for good coffee, knowing youre supporting someone with a big heart for people along the way!
Amazing hospitality and positive vibes... and coffee rocks along with the food. Happy breakfast hours
Wonderful little place with friendly people and nice food. The atmosphere is great-- wish I lived nearby so I could go more often!
Great coffee spot in Germantown. Its a gem! Owners and staff are really friendly and they have all the right treats!
The food is great, the drinks are good, and the atmosphere is cute and quaint. The only thing is that the upstairs is pretty dirty. Could definitely use a thorough vacuuming and dusting, and the couch could be cleaned. It felt a bit unsanitary eating up there.
A relaxing environment and great customer service too.
Intimate and sustaining .. great vibe and coffee… and a pretty good place for a quick bite. I love the second floor living room
It has a bohemian vibe and looks nice and cozy. There is an entrance on Armat st across from Green st friends school gym. I went there in the morning recently and the entire place smelled of bacon. (If you love the smell of bacon, this is the place for you.) A socially conscious, small business with young local ownership.
Just made some french press with some of these guys beans and I was quite impressed with the flavor & freshness!Owner Is a great guy and pleasant to talk with, for sure passionate about what he does!
This is a great spot with super friendly staff and excellent coffee. Love their vegan options too!
Small, but very creative and homey atmosphere. Ordered a grilled cheese sandwich from here and let me tell you how good. that. was. It had gruyere and cheddar and my gosh was every bite as cheesy as the next ❤ would definitely come again! I really need to try the drinks next time.
Best place in Philly for coffee and a warm community atmosphere. I love visiting just to see what new and interesting people I will meet. The staff are extremely friendly and the food is consistently great. Great place to work on your laptop, meet a date, or attend one of their live music events!
Yum! Ordered a mocha & was asked if I want it made with Nutella instead of just regular chocolate...what a great idea! Food is scrumptious too; their breakfast sandwiches are made with Le Bus bread. Guys who work there are super friendly 😊
The owners/staff will welcome you to their wonderful establishement; a current & modern version of hipster coffeehouses circa mid to late 60s. Great variety of affordable coffe, tea, baked goods/snacks, etc. Friendly & supportive to local up-and-coming artists/musicians. Highly recommended!
Very chill down to earth espresso bar on Maplewood in the mall area. Great coffee and baked goods as well as art for sale. Fresh flowers are hung and an acoustic guitar to strum for the patrons. Great music and staff...chill vibes.
Funky little coffee shop set back on a twisty little street with a very chill vibe. Local artists wares for sale on a little shelf inside, as well as some really neat pieces hanging on the walls. Three little nooks for seating on the ground floor, a listening room upstairs, and a little wooden table & chairs outside as well as a bench.They have a nice selection of teas and offer multiple specials on chalkboards as well as standard coffee shop brews. There is a rotating selection of pastries (savory and sweet) as well as a varied list of available sandwiches, egg concoctions for breakfast/brunch and meat/cheese/veggie versions if thats what youre in the mood for. I had a lovely Taiwanese Wulong tea and the Sun-Ra sandwich (grilled cheese on a delightfully nutty grain bread with avocado and sun-dried tomato spread).
Amazing local coffee shop. They sell really yummy pastries, sandwiches and also local vendors sell goods here! I was able to grab some local honey as well as homemade beeswax chapstick. Turns out the owner and his wife are my neighbors! Don’t you just love community?
Always end up staying hours chatting and drinking waaayy too many coffees. Sandwiches are good and they sell avocados too which is cool. I love this little spot! Everyone is super friendly.
A warm and inviting place where you can chill and get some coffee , food, and comfort. And the service is great. I do not think that any place is perfect, for there is always room for improvement ,but There is nothing between four and five where I can get in on .......so they get a five!
Excellent espresso and pastries! Jeff and Miles are the coolest guys in Philadelphia, without a doubt. Their prices are very fair with great seating options -- outdoors or inside. So glad that theyre serving the community in this way 😀
Wonderful folks, food, coffee, and friendly service. One of the best breakfast sandwiches in Philly, too!! I come here as often as I can and am always happy to return
Great set of man buns that run this joint. Awesome coffee, especially the cold brew! Come to an open mic night on Thursday 7:30. Good communal hub.
Great place for coffee and conversation. A progressive attitude place, owners are always available.
So excited to have this in Germantown! Great vibe and ambiance/decoration, amazing coffee and fresh pastries from High Point, cant wait till the upstairs seating goes in for meetings. This is my new spot!
This place is so awesome. A true gem with genuine owners doing good for the community.
Friendly casual atmosphere for coffee, sandwiches and Beignets!
My home away from home! A gathering space that represents the community at its best. In addition to the quality and locally sourced tea and coffee, the sandwiches are tip top. The Teedy with muenster and sirachi cream cheese aioli is my favorite!
What a cool spot. Friendly people, great music, chill environment.House blend drip coffee is delightful. Yummy pastries too!#gernantowngem
Wonderful local coffee shop. I was only in town for the day and loved spending time here! Great coffee and fun employees.
Great place wonderful staff they always make you feel at home. Good food and awesome coffee.
Saturday mornings are for coffee and conversation at GSpro. My favorite coffee in the city, and a great place to hang out. Jeff, Miles, and Morgan are awesome!
Love this place. The coffee is so strong and smells amazing. Literally makes me excited how good the coffee smells while I drive.
The coffee is amazing!! The shop itself is small, quaint and warm—the perfect place to sit and chat or read.
I really like that place i got my hot chocolate and sit and get some work done for my business.Just the right amount of people and lots of space to get things done.Going there today with my son for a business meeting.
Great lil hangout. Great prices for really good food and drinks. No sweetener in their chai lattes unless you ask, so extra bonus points from me!
Locally owned coffeeshop, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service. They also have community cultural events like music, art, etc.
Great atmosphere. Great folks who run it. One of the best cortados Ive ever had. The breakfast sandwich was tasty. Highly recommended!
Great local coffee bar with en emphasis on supporting the community!
Cozy place with some good pastry eats. Live music at times too. Very friendly. Oh and t the coffee is superb.
Coffee, food, and pastries were on point. Delicious cold brew but stayed for the conversation and community. Definitely worthwhile. So excited about this spot in Germantown.
Friendly w/down to earth atmosphere. community based and a major asset to our neighborhood. Oh! The coffee and danishes are superb. 😁
Plays extremely loud music that blasts through walls all hours of the night making it impossible to sleep especially if you have kids which is extremely disrespectful and not courteous of neighbors. Talked to multiple times about noise level to no avail. Next step, law enforcement will be getting involved. Theres no reason why music should be played at this level in residential neighborhoods.
Coffee is great! Service is stellar! Food is amazing! The atmosphere is awesome, great place to hangout!
I’m from out of town and this place popped up on Google - it was a great find! friendly people, great coffee, good vibes, and delicious vegan s’mores bar.
Great neighborhood spot - nice staff, good coffee and tasty sandwiches. I like that its dog friendly!
The people are fantastic, the sandwiches are amazing and the maple spiced latte is the best latte Ive ever had
Good food and company can always be found there. Nice blend of coffees and loose leaf teas.
Adorable coffee shop with friendly folks! Delicious coffee indeed! Super glad I found this place!
Always nice staff, a very quaint place, free municipal parking nearby, and of course, great coffee.
I enjoy the atmosphere everytime i go there its really good to see people smiling and welcoming when i go there.And i love the flat bread.
Nice space. And nice staff. The street construction is happening until November. Ask the staff for types on where to park.
Its so affordable and I had a wonderful experience.The coffee products are all first rate.
Great drinks, food and atmosphere! A great staple of the neighborhood
Enjoy my weekend mornings having tea and reading in my own neighborhood coffee house! Love this welcome addition to Germantown.
Great cozy place, good food and coffee. They run a music series of local talent.
Best local cafe for their signature coffee/tea, to do work and listen to good jazz.
Great people from the owners to the wonderful employees. Very relaxed and welcoming. I recommend to everyone.
Good coffee, always friendly, and a nice low-key atmosphere.
This is now a massage center on the second floor and a book store on the first floor. The espresso bar is gone.
Stopped in for a quick sandwich, chilled with the owner, Jeff, for a bit. Place is dope, roll through 👌🏾
Really enjoyed this neighborhood spot. Nice atmosphere for a conversation, for studying, or just relaxing.
Intimate and friendly. Great coffee and light food.
Super friendly baristas and top notch coffee. The sandwiches are outta this world
These people are killing the game. Good coffee and treats and you can buy beans there.
High quality coffee, but the cafe au lait was served a little cold.
Thought I was in Seattle, great coffee, cool people. Will definitely go again.

2021-07-28Very friendly staff in a small operation. There is upstairs seating for when the weather isn’t the best but more of a grab and go operation from what I can tell. The iced latte was well done.

2022-03-22Absolute favorite coffee place in the neighborhood. Staff is nice and the coffee and pastries are always great. Try a cinnamon roll, sometimes I get two lol..

2022-02-16I picked up a small black coffee for a friend, who also is the owner of the Flower Cafe in Maplewood Mall. Because of taking care of her mother, who passed away a week ago at the young age of ninety-eight years old, and the Coronavirus pandemic Linda has not been opened. One of the owners of Germantown Expresso was a frequent customer of hers, so it is only fair to patronize each other. They have a take-out window,and thats why I went there.

2020-01-12Love this place as it has a nice local, artist-y atmosphere, tasty food and nice staff. I especially like the upstairs “living room” area where you can chill and do some work or hang out while drinking your tea or coffee and eating your meal. They have Gluten Free and vegan options too which is a plus for those with dietary restrictions.

2021-08-02Wanted to try a new coffee shop, so I stopped in today. Delicious iced mocha and very friendly staff. Ive gotten used to not wearing a mask anymore, and I appreciated that they have a sign on the front door saying that they have masks for customers who forgot theirs.
