Samuel Santiago: Fantastic bubble tea with many fruity options. There's a Jenga set inside - Tea-Do is a chill place to hang out, but its pretty small so watch out for crowds throughout the night.
Ben Watkins: Delicious milk bubble tea! Not too milky and stays true to the tea flavor. Bubbles are also super chewy! Get their takoyaki for a nice small snack too!
Fanny Yang: They have green tea mochi. I'm in love.
Lauren Smith: Best spot for unexpected sandwich combinations. They don’t mind substitutions/additions at all either. Love the poacher man and huevos banditos for breakfast sandwiches kicked up a notch. Cash only!
Fresh Dipped: Get the "Shades of Egg" breakfast sandwich on multi-grain. Sunny eggs, avocado, sprouts, greens, spicy mustard and chedda. Add bacon if you're a carnivore.
Kay Y: Get the Mexican hot chocolate! Delicious.

Brendan O'Brien: Quickly becoming a Philly institution. Come for a volcano (best hot chocolate drink in the city), come BACK for Rene, who makes every visit an event. You'll be hooked... everyone is.
Robyn Burns: ask Rene to play the bongos !
Albert Sun: Skeptical at first, but the proprietor here makes it all worthwhile! So friendly. Ask about his 5D. =)

Coffee Shop · Spruce Hill · 44 tips and reviews
Daniel Wolf: Come hang out at the parklet! It looks like outdoor seating reserved for cafe patrons, but it's actually public space, perfect for reading a book or doing some work.
Visit Philly: Owned by an artist and her brother-in-law, Green Line and its two sister locations serve only organic, free trade-certified coffee and locally sourced sodas and food.
CJ Moore: Treat these people well; they work hard and maintain a customer-friendly, fast-paced, happy attitude; even when the line is out the door. To the GLC Team, we love ya'!
