What a quaint corner coffee shop, located on one of Philadelphia’s loveliest tree lined streets.  This little venue offers outdoor seating in the Spring and Summer, light snacks including croissants and sticky buns.  The inside is casual and cozy with a few bar stool seats along the window; it is fun to people watch while enjoying a hot cup of java.  If you have friends visiting, dropping by the Spruce Street Espresso on a warm, sunny weekend morning is great because sitting outside really shows off the city’s charm.

Located in the heart of Washington Square West, this cute little cafe has plenty of space and seating inside.  Large comfy gently worn chairs decorate the shop and small tables are available for your cup and snack.  A lite menu of food is offered including muffins, snack bars and fresh fruit.  Cafe Mocha holds true to it’s name; their cafe mochas are delicious!  The vibe inside is casual and comfortable.  Magazines are scattered throughout, but most patrons bring their laptops for some surfing while sipping.  This coffee shop is perfect as is, but promises an up and coming photography room and a full Vegan Menu in the near future.

Located two doors down is a Paint and Hardware store that is a great place to pick up your tools and lightbulbs.  Another fun neighbor of Cafe Mocha’s is a little bookstore with used books at great prices.  With this line up on the 200 Block of 10th Street,  a person can spend a few hours browsing and enjoying some java. Cheers!
