Shot Tower Coffee - Philadelphia

I go here very often before or after school, since i go to one of the schools just around the corner. it's a wonderful, place, and i couldn't ask for more! service, food, and drinks are wonderful. by now the barista who's usually there when i go already knows what i'm going to order when i walk in! not to mention i love the seating. the window seats are great and there's outlets under them, and the seats in the middle are really fun too, since they swing. there's soft background music playing and it makes for great ambiance, along with the wonderful decor. nothing i would change! keep doing what you're doing, shot tower.

I'm writing this review live from the high top counter facing true West in Shot Tower, watching the yellow leaves fall down from the sycamore tree while sipping on my espresso doble from this baby blue espresso cup with Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing cover in my chorded apple headphones. Okay I don't know if it's actually a sycamore tree but that was the first tree name that came to my head so I let it fly. For full transparency, this is my 2nd time here today and it's only 12:13pm lol so that should tell you everything you need to know. The natural light is flooding in here like that cute girl's DMs getting flooded after she deletes the pics with her boyfriend of 2+ years. Get em up fellas!! There is ample seating in this beautiful open floor plan... hol up let me count..... Okay yeah I counted 32 seats... but don't quote me on that I caught eyes with a few people as I was scanning and it was super awk so I'm not recounting. They make a MEAN Dirty Chai Latte with oat milk, as that is my budded love interest's go-to drink. It's honestly so gas lol I may be a convert from my espresso/black cold brew... but don't tell her that it would go straight to her head and she already be chirping me enough. The staff here always greets me with a smile and has good energy. This is an ideal place to get some work done, sit and read, or take a zoom call with your therapist when in Queen Village. Oh yeah, I read hehe haha : I could write a whole novel on my newfound love for Queen Village, and I will one day. What a calm, quaint, and character-rich neighborhood this is. I'm obsessed.

Got a vanilla latte and didn't taste any vanilla and wasn't sweet. Service was fine. Seating inside and outside. Coffee tastes okay not great.

Clean. Friendly staff. Very nice neighborhood feel cafe. Kids books available. Community table available, plenty of space for everyone. Good coffee and good selection of pastries. Can't wait to go back!

Little neighborhood coffee spot. Nice place to work online but can be hard to get a seat sometimes. I feel like the coffee can be inconsistent, price is reasonable.
