First up is the Walnut Bridge Coffeehouse.  On 23rd and Walnut street, this shop is conveniently located for students who come from University City to Center City and back.   It is also convenient for all the healthy people across the street that are working out at SWEAT Gym, not to mention all of the businesses in the area and the apartment buildings filled with java lovers who love having access to such a hip coffee shop.  Inside the decor is elegant but bold with couches and chairs for seating.  A person can grab a cup of Illy brewed coffee to go or stay and have something sweet and delicious from the baked goods selection.   With plenty to read in the form of magazines, newspapers, and local establishment advertising, an individual can feel very comfortable sipping alone.  Plenty of seating also makes Walnut Bridge Coffeehouse a great meet up place and even light brunch restaurant.

The Last Drop Coffee House is a ‘crunchy’ favorite for folks in the Washington Square area.  Located right on the corner of 13th and Pine Street, the Last Drop is right around the corner from the Art Institute and on the path of Philadelphia’s Antique Row section.  Inside, you can find small tables and chairs for staying and sipping; in the warmer season there is also seating outside right on 13th street.  The environment is comfortable, relaxed and casual.  In addition to tasty coffee, tea and food is also served.  The Last Drop is certainly a place to gather and chill with friends or a newspaper.
