Old City Coffee Celebrates 25 Years!

Our Church Street cafe, in the heart of Old City, Philadelphia.
twenty five year anniversary

We are a one 100% Philadelphia-metro operated business with dedicated, knowledgeable staff here to help you choose varieties, roasts, and brewing techniques.

We roast only the best grade Arabica high grown coffee. We buy smartly so that you can drink well; our prices are among the lowest because we avoid the steps of using a commercial roaster and wholesaler. Our coffee is guaranteed to be the freshest available because we roast tiny batches every day.

We welcome phone calls and e-mails for both orders, questions, and comments. Your order will be roasted and shipped within 48 hours, assuring a freshness only available from this source.

We have great new ways to find the right coffee or tea for you!

Our new website allows you to search for coffee and tea in a variety of ways. You can search by region, flavor profile, roast to see what’s most popular or on special. Go to SHOP to see all of the new options.
