Herman's Coffee

Herman’s ticks all the boxes. Super chill vibes, friendly staff always playing the jams, and some of the best coffee in Philly. I love the little shoppy shop inside too. It’s perfect whether you need a gift or want to put together a great meal for yourself. They also have an extensive non-alcoholic section, which you rarely see. It’s all just so thoughtful. You really can’t go wrong here. A truly world-class place in South Philly.

Coffee was amazing but at the end of the day it’s about how the service is and they were talking to me like I was stupid and made it seem like everyone has to know the rules before they come into the restaurant, which makes no sense to me. [asked for cream and sugar and they just looked annoyed and pointed to it, asked about food options and he said we have sweet or savory and named 2 things…] Overall a disappointing experience from the staff.

I really want to love this place. I do. I believe in supporting small businesses, good coffee, good vibes, all of it. But at this point, ordering a latte here feels less like a morning pick-me-up and more like a character-building exercise. I waited over 15 minutes for a latte that arrived… emotionally warm at best. Not hot. Not even “I might burn my tongue.” Just… gently discouraging. And listen, the latte art? Beautiful. Truly. A tiny masterpiece. In a to-go cup. With a lid. That I immediately put on. So now it’s just abstract foam I never saw… silly. Respectfully, maybe we pause the traveling art exhibit and invest in a second espresso machine? Or a tiny bit of urgency? Or both? I’m rooting for you. I want to be a regular. But if I have to start blocking off calendar time for a single latte, we’re gonna have to have a serious talk.

Perfect place to start your day! Nice patio seating along with a great selection of pastries. I got the cookie butter latte and chocolate croissant. The best combo to jumpstart your day. I love the chill atmosphere of this place.

Walked quite the distance purely to check our the reputation that precedes Herman's in Philly. Was quite surprised to discover an alcohol store with lots of snacks that also serves coffee. The cold house brew was absolute ace, added a tiny bit of cream for added flavor. Quite the portion for a very low cost. King of this experience was definitely the amazing coffee!
