First of all, theres SO much empty space and so LITTLE seating. I ordered a Latte (I have been ordering them everywhere lately so I base my experience on everywhere else in Philadelphia area). My drink burnt and impure. Im a coffee connoisseur and I know a good cup when I taste one and this wasnt it at all. Over all, place is average! It wasnt too bad but I felt a little uncomfortable there!
Good coffee, good price, kind of some covid crazies though. I had forgotten my mask and the lady at the front aggressively asked if I had a mask then pointed me in the direction of their extra masks to which I obliged and got one and as I was doing so I was met with a condescending “you’ll need one next time so don’t forget” and for this reason I won’t be returning to these weirdos.
Ive been a customer for several years now. The coffee here is consistently some of the best Ive ever had.Its evident that the roasters know what theyre doing. I have yet to drink a ReAnimator coffee that I havent liked!The few times Ive experienced issues with my orders (which has been very rare), the customer service has always been extremely responsive and very helpful.Cant recommend them enough!
One of my favorite roasteries in Olde Kensington. If you are looking for coffee beans, they typically carry single origin coffees that are delicious. Make sure to read their labels and the process used to produce the coffee; you will be surprised. I love getting Cappuccinos at this place. I feel they use the right amount of milk for my taste.
Super rad coffee joint cranking out the classics up front while the technicians roast up your favorite single-origin blends from the back. Chat up the roasters and they’ll show you how it all works. Worth a stop if you have the chance!
The drinks are just ok, and there is one very outspoken rude employee there who’s always cranky and racist. Just don’t work there if you’re going to treat people poorly.
Fresh baked beans and fresh roasted baguettes. A dream
The best coffee in the city! hands down. super nice staff as well.
Employees are rude and act inconvenienced every time I visit. Coffee is ok but being made to feel like I irritated you with an order isn’t. Won’t be returning.
Ordered one of their limited edition single origin coffees. It arrived quickly which is great. But I wish you guys would indicate on your website if the coffee is a light, medium, or dark roast. I despise light roast coffee and took a gamble that the one I ordered would be to my liking. It did not suit my palette at all, way too light.
Came to get coffee here this morning 10/19 and my boyfriend lost his mask along the way. The girls working we’re extremely rude when we were asking if they had one extra for him. if you own a business during these times you should have boxes of extra masks for customers in case of situations like this. We had our Vax cards ready to show to dine in but ended up just leaving bc they would not provide him with a extra mask. Staff needs improvement. Especially in these times.
Place is great, a lot of space, huge windows! Coffee is just average though
Always amazing. Delicious espresso drinks that kinda lean towards the fruity/lighter notes (in my opinion, could totally be wrong lol). Can’t wait for them to open up indoor seating again.
I usually look for the best lattes when I travel and had the opportunity to visit ReAnimator on Sunday 8/29/21. Bought two lattes (they only sell 1 size) and both were very weak even after adding a second espresso shot.
Ordering and pickup have been seamless. I really cant wait until I can visit inside the shop because the coffee here is divine. We picked up some beans for making coffee at home and they were excellent.
My favorite coffee in Philly! Good amount of space and delicious bakery treats as well.
Amazing, rich, smooth espresso! Welcoming. So happy I had my vaccination card handy so I could stop and stay awhile!
The best coffee in the city! hands down. super nice staff as well.
Great cup of $3 coffee. Looks like they are roasting on site. Lots of options as far as brewing. Pull over, aeropress, etc. Seems like tables are taken by people on laptops often
Great coffee, both espresso-based and pourover. Spacious and bright interior is great to sit and work.
Great coffee spot. On a quiet street so it’s nice to sit outside too.
Espresso was good. Girl friend thought the ice melted a little too quickly for the ice vanilla Lattee. Overall very good and will return
I liked the space for being not stuffy or crowded, but the whole coffee experience for me was quite unpleasant, because it is never just about the beverage, it also has to do with people who work there. This place totally lacked that people factor. Not going back or recommending it to anyone especially if you are looking for a good coffee place experience. As far as coffee goes, I got a cappuccino. Their version of capuccino wasnt cappucino I know...
I love their coffee with all my heart, but freelancers occupy this place on a regular basis, working on their computers, so it totally kills the vibe of a coffee shop. They gotta limit the time one person can be at a table on a computer. Or add more tables for working only, and separate area for customers who want to enjoy coffee, there’s enough space for both.
I’ve gotten large hot coffee to go a couple times and each time the lid allows a lot of coffee to drip out onto my hands!
Consistently the best coffee in Philly.
The space is amazing. They roast their own coffee here, using a 12kg Probat roaster.Coffee is very good! single origin and blends are light and rich.One of the best beans I have ever had in my life are from here.The staff is very knowledgable and super friendly. It is a place you must visit if you are a true coffee lover.
Coffee was fine. Space was nice. Service was in that tedious petulant/ disinterested mode.
Order: Pour Over (Single Origen Ethiopian), pretzel shortbread cookiePrice: $9Pros: They have a great interior seating including an enclosed upstairs work area, this is probably the best coffee shop Ive ever been to from a work perspective. They roast their own coffee, really high quality beans.Cons: It is just a tad bit more expensive than most coffee shops Ive been to by about $1Thoughts: Our first coffee shop stop in Philly and we managed to pick a pretty good one. Reanimator has an incredibly spacious, well lit interior that feels perfect for sitting around and sipping coffee or getting work down. There are a lot of seats so you should be able to find seating at most times, and if you really want to focus and get work knocked out they look to have an enclosed work environment that is up on the second floor. It looked like a really unique idea, but as Im not here doing work I didnt really test it out.The coffee didnt take too long to arrive and it was delicious. Great body, very pronounced flavor notes, not too dark of a roast on the bean, and overall just a delightful cup of coffee all around. While they dont make the pretzel shortbread cookies in house they paired really well with the coffee. Its essentially a shortbread cookie with a coating of pretzel dough on the outside. The light, buttery sweetness worked really well with the coffee.Id definitely recommend Reanimator to anyone in the area and if we had more time we might even come back, but given that I only have a few days in the city to eat all the food and drink all the coffee that’s a bit unlikely.
If youre looking for a chill spot with all the requisite trappings for a Modern Coffee Establishment, youll be more than satisfied here. Comfy seating, natural light for days, great drinks and a thoroughly relaxing ambience.
We travel constantly. We found this amazing place after 6 weeks of traveling through Israel, Rome and Morocco. This place served us 2 days in a row, better flat whites then we had had in the last month. The atmosphere is pretty good too high cellings, outdoor seating and a clean bathroom. We will definitely be back next time we are in Philadelphia!
Out of the way location which allows it to be far less crowded than typical city coffee houses. The coffee here is very smooth with an extremely high energy kick. This is the type of coffee location where you will go out of your way to get to when you are in town. If you are a coffee drinker, give this place a chance and you wont regret it!
One of the best cafe in Philadelphia. High quality coffee with experience crew especially Jordan who I concider the best barista in town. Dont miss the best cup of latte you will ever get in your life time.
This place is a savior in the Olde Kensington neighborhood as there isn’t much else until you get to Frankford Ave. They do coffee extremely well, but there is not much in the way of food here other than little snacks. I recommend the iced coffee, pour overs and the pretzel cookies. The decor is nice and they have indoor and outdoor seating.
Awesome coffee shop. We went in pretty close to closing time and the barista was still super friendly and helpful. Had great coffees available for pour over and a super unique iced coffee thats like in between a cold brew and typical iced coffee. Really good.
Hip coffee place that roasts their own beans in house. Specialized in making individual cups of Joe, be it a pour over, auto drip, or a single espresso.Not a great place for a fast cup of coffee though, its more of a quiet getaway experience.
Great peaceful coffee shop but the seating is mainly next to the big windows which isnt that great for working on your laptop because of the glare that you get pretty much no matter where you sit. If that doesnt matter to you then everything else about this place is great. Friendly servers
Love this coffee shop! The most delicious oat milk latte!
Severely lacking the amount of cozy seating that could easily fit in the huge warehouse. The coffee is good but also a bit over priced. It has so much potential that its right on the edge of but not quite there yet
Favorite coffee shop in this area, maybe the entire philly. You can bring you dog in when you just wanna to order some coffee (and not staying there for hours). Love the brand. The inside place is huge altho there are not much of seating...
The cavernous space was not very crowded when we went on a Saturday afternoon. We tried the cold brew and a cappuccino and a chocolate chip cookie. No complaints, but its not our favorite coffee.
Offbeat space. If you keep a varied coffee pantry, this is a good stop for a decent selection of whole bean roasts you wont find elsewhere. Cant speak to the hot cup preparation since Im only there to re-up, but the staff is friendly.
Great coffee shop! A nice place to hang out with large big windows to look out. The roast their own coffee right there and you can watch the whole operation go down.
This branch of Reanimator is a little out of the way, but because of that its never too loud or noisy. The coffee there is great and so was their tea! If youre looking for something sweet and refreshing, try their summer soda (chamomile, honey,and seltzer). It might have been just a Sunday thing, but the orange creamsicle donut I got to try there was top notch!
Great and quick coffee. Beautiful space for catching up with a friend or hunkering down to get some work done. Patio seats out uso de also available in a typically shady sidewalk section.
Buy something immediately or be invited to leave the place. Thats how it happened. I just moved to Philly and spent the last couple of weeks going to coffee shops in my new neighborhood. There are many great ones in the area, but I especially like this one for reading because it has big windows and is just three blocks from my house. Over the course of two weeks, I came back five times, staying an hour or two between reading and writing, spending something around $ 10 or $ 15 for a couple of cortados and croissants every time. Well, today I arrived around 11 am and waited for my partner to arrive and finally get something for the two of us. After 30 minutes or so, while I was reading a book, an employee came out from behind the counter to ask me if I was going to order something, otherwise I would have to leave the place. Was I taken as a suspect of not being a customer? It was an embarrassing situation, which I have never experienced before. The place was far from being packed, more than half of the seats were empty. I felt unwanted, watched, disrespected. It was awkward, a bad surprise and a big disappointment with a place I had liked so much at first. Oppressed by the clerks lack of elegance, I went with him to the cashier and anticipated my order feeling lousy and uncomfortable. I have to say it, it was a terrible human experience. If you are reading this text, be warned: youd better pull out your wallet to buy your right to seat immediately, proving youre here strictly as a buyer before someone kicks you out. The irony is that I would have inevitably bought something in no time, as I always do, only respecting my temporality as a client and not being obliged to do it by an employee (and this text would never exist and I would keep returning with a book, and, of course, buying cortados and croissants). I hope this review can serve the owners to better plan their treatment policy in relation to their clients and the community they serve.
Great coffee that roasts on site. In fact its like your at an industrial coffee roasting studio that happens to have a coffee bar and some seats. Very modern and cool feeling.
Friendly staff, cool place, rad stickers (if you ask for one!), and great coffee. Would recommend!
The best coffee in the city! hands down. super nice staff as well.
Good coffee, atmosphere is a little off-putting somehow (cant really put my finger on it) but friendly staff/baristas. Probably my favorite coffee in/near Fishtown.
Beautiful open space. They do coffee really well. Reanimator is definitely one of the best places to get specialty coffee in Philly.
The Experience here was unique very friendly and welcoming environment.
Wonderful atmosphere, delicious freshly roasted coffee. Love having the roaster in view, gives a nice touch.
Great coffee but I am saddened by the new packaging which looks like every other boring coffee company thats vying for shelf space. At least the old packaging had some character and personality. Bring the damn skeletons back!
These guys are making the best coffee Ive ever had. Every time I try a new roast I fall more and more in love. Completely changed the way I felt about coffee.
Espresso was great, but the cappuccino was clearly botched — latte art was an attempted but failed heart, and milk was over-steamed. No personality or charm detected in the baristas. Barista set drinks on opposite side of the bar from where I was sitting and called them out and made me get up and walk around to pick them up (there were no other customers ordering anything).My biggest complaint, though, is that there is a CAMERA POINTED IN THE BATHROOM WINDOW. There is only one bathroom, and it does not have a curtain to block the cameras gaze (or the potential vantage points from any of the dozen windows overlooking the bathroom window). I cant believe no one else is talking about this. The camera is literally aimed straight at the toilet. Creepiest bathroom Ive ever been in.
Literally the best coffee Ive had anywhere in the city and the people who work there are all really nice 🙂
I liked the converted industrial feel, and the staff was super friendly and happy to answer my numerous questions. The coffee itself was a bit too acidic for my tastes (which is typical of most roasters these days.)
Clean space with a decent amount of seating. Friendly staff and great coffee. They have a happy hour from 1-3pm for $3 pourovers
Im sorry, but I dont get the idea or the concept of not selling single shot espresso. Only double. Other than that, the service is with a smile and its nice atmosphere.
I ordered Iced salted vanilla latte.. it soo good!
Great coffee and a lot of places to sit and read, have meetings. Even has outdoor seating. Had one pastry and it was good enough
By far the best coffee in northern liberties/olde kensington. Plus the baristas are so nice and thoughtful. I recommend this place to everyone who comes to town!
Never been to this particular spot, but I buy the coffee all the time from Whole Foods/Front Street Cafe/whenever. Good stuff!
Delicious bagels, great coffee excellent service
While their coffee is terrific, their prices are extreme. If you are looking for that artisan touch, hit it up. If youre just looking for a cup to get your fix, skip it.
Fantastic pour over coffee. Ethiopians are always good.
Good lattes. Large space. Could use some more seating
They roast their own coffee on site. I am not a fan of their blends, but they are very friendly and offer prompt service.
Best latte in the city. Only a few food options (bagels, pastries, yogurt) but great drinks and spacious atmosphere, good music too.
Well done cortado (finally!) thank you Philly
Please read - there was no one in there and everyone just ignored me. Two people came in behind me and they served them right away. I’ve never been so disrespected at an establishment in my life.
Very expensive and not especially comfortable. But iced tea was good and location was kind of neat. I wish there had been more lunch options.
This is a 5 * coffee House many different types of coffee too love ❤️🌹 👀 banana Bean mocha I mean cherry vanilla all different types of coffee you enjoy place to get something to eat there too
Great coffee and nice atmosphere, but its a little more expensive than I expected.
Great environment lots of space, awesome coffee, bagel was good but wish they had more good options
Tried multiple places in Philly while I was visiting and this spot was definitely the best and was really consistent
Tasty coffee with plenty of seating and outlets. Highly recommend if you need a place to hunker down and work for a while
Three stars only because the coffee is very good. Staff was not friendly. The shop, although spacious, had limited seating.
An upscale coffee house in an up and coming neighborhood. Only problem is the coffee wasnt that good. I would compare it to wawa coffee, Wich is half the price
Better than La Colombe for sure in consistency. By far some of the best coffee you can get anywhere in the country.
Very neat and clean place
Nice open, industrial space with coffee roaated in house. Americano was delicious. Good whole bean selection too.
Their iced coffee cuts through hangovers nicely. Great atmosphere and friendly service
Nice place to hang out or work with plenty of seating. Good coffee and friendly staff.
I usually put an ungodly amount of sugar and cream to like coffee but I tried the latte from here and blew me away. You just gained a regular my friends.
This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Philly. Amazing coffee and great doughnuts over the weekend.
I would absolutely post here with a computer and a book, its the cutest and coziest coffee in the area!
The tea was flavorful. Very comfortable atmosphere. Quiet, welcoming. Will return.
Really good coffee!! I wish you guys opened a little earlier in the mornings during the weekdays.
Awesome place and friendly staff.
.. If I have to feel uncomfortable in my own neighborhood for a expensive cup of coffee AND rude employees who I may knock out .. its not worth it. Trash.
Its a quiet coffee shop with good environment, the service is good, price is reasonable.
Excellent coffee sourcing and excellent roasting brewed well makes for the best coffee in the city.
Very cool space. Unfortunately they werent able to provide tea that would quench my british needs!
Great service and great coffee. They are very knowledgeable about coffee and offered lots of info.
Best coffee in PA, NJ, NY, MD , DE.
I usually dont have many opinions about coffe, but this place is different. Worth a visit for sure.
Love this place. Great vibe. Great coffee, AND tea!
Best coffee and tea in Philly, bar none. Try the pour overs and the Shan Lin oolong tea 😋😋😋😋😋
AMAZING. Cannot over sell this place. A must visit for an amazing cup of coffee!
It’s okay. It’s as expensive as La Colombe, which is nearby, but doesn’t offer as great a food selection or comfortable seating.
Great coffee. Cool decor and nice staff
Excellent coffee and excellent vibes in this cute cafe in the center of gentrification in Philly.
Coffee is very good and service is kind and swift.

2022-05-09Legit one of the best Mochas I’ve ever had. Very nice vibe and Baristas! I’ll definitely be back. The breakfast bun was amazing, I love the chewy caramelized bottom
Review №2
2021-11-13This is probably one of my favorite coffee shop in philly. The location in master street is convenient and very fitting to the new neighborhood of Olde Kensington, and of course the hipster vibe Fishtown. My go to is the cap, but tried the latte today and was so amazing. I had top stop myself from gulping down the whole thing. The texture was so smooth and the sweetness of well steamed whole milk really blended well with their espresso beans. If you want to try something little new, try their espresso tonic! (Pic attached). Will be coming back here of course. Highly recommend.
Review №3
2022-06-17A coffee place that has no sugar, regular or raw, only syrup. Good look getting the right amount of sweet if youre having espresso or macchiato.
Review №4
2022-03-31Stopped in yesterday for the first time at the master st location. asked for a tea latte and was told they only had “regular” black tea. i have never been to a coffee shop that didn’t carry tea. it’s bizarre. it’s literally a bag and there’s no extra equipment needed. guess i’ll be sticking to one shot and the gryphon, even though i’m in this area all the time. BIZARRE

2020-01-24The baristas here are awesome. They’re super friendly and accommodating, not to mention extremely knowledgeable. Their recipes for their single-origin pour overs and espresso are great, paying the utmost detail to making sure your coffee is brewed with care. The space has beautiful light because of the high windows. It can get a little cold in the winter, but it has a warm vibe regardless.

2021-08-07I had an oatmilk cappuccino today and it was perfect. The espresso was smooth and flavorful and the crema had and amazing texture and wasnt as bitter as Ive had from other shops

Review №8
2018-10-28Great coffee. Simple design. Extremely quiet (maybe too quiet). Parking isnt the best. The food was ok. Solid staple for a quiet place with good coffee. I got a mocha latte and peanut butter cookie. Delicious.

2019-12-14World Class Coffee in a Chill Atmosphere. Whenever I travel to a new city, I like to visit the best coffee spots and soak in the city. Id heard great things about ReAnimator, and they lived up to the reputation. This place is awesome--truly epic espresso, competition-level cappuccino, and a cool vibe. Went to ReAnimator early on a Saturday morning. Its was quiet and laid back, with some good people watching and some AWESOME cute doggo watching. I felt like I got a taste of one of Phillys cooler neighborhoods. But most of all the coffee was on point. The single origin Costa Rican was one of the best shots Ive had in a long time, perfectly roasted and meticulously brewed. The capp was really delicious, served with a beautiful tulip. 🌷☕

2022-04-23Coffee was fantastic, and great space, only feedback is that the service comes with a bit of an attitude.
