"Coffee shops are not one-matcha-espresso-fits-all. There are some where roasting “experts” come to get a decent espresso, and others where people on a deadline rely on a good playlist and a pillowy cinnamon roll to power them through the morning. Out West in West Philly is both, and a lot more. The tri-level cafe comes from the team behind Down North, and the kitchen leans heavily towards Philly comfort food: peppery lamb scrapple smeared with a harissa strawberry jam and braised brisket sandwiches for breakfast, and cheeseburgers and cheesesteaks for lunch (which we’ll be back for). Grab a seat, the avocado lemonade, and admire the rotating artwork by Black creators. photo credit: CANDIS R. MCLEAN photo credit: CANDIS R. MCLEAN video credit: CANDIS R.
