"Vernick Coffee Bar in the Comcast Tech Center is one of the coolest places to grab a croissant and coffee in the city. There's plenty of seating in the post-apocalyptic chic room, which makes it useful for a Center City meeting over Caffè Umbria coffee, pastries, grain bowls, and sandwiches. A huge plus: they take reservations here so you don’t have to plot a seating strategy while you’re in line." - alison kessler
