"Mina’s World is a community-oriented, QTPOC-owned and -operated coffee shop. It doubles as a community hub, offers home goods made by local artists, serves snacks and drinks nodding to the owners' combined Indian and Korean roots, and aims to be an alternate kind of coffee shop in Philly with fair employee pay, ethical sourcing for coffee beans, and a community fridge outside the venue. Drinks include chai with rose syrup, yuja-cha, and samosas, as well as specialty drinks like the Brazilian-inspired beverage created by their manager of operations, Paula Cooke. They use Passenger Coffee for their beans and chai. The space is designed with touches like daffodil yellow hand-tiling and a custom cow print ceramic tip jar made by Bee Daddy & Sons with Scott Cooper." - ByEmma Orlow
