The Best Coffee Shops For Getting Work Done in Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Since most of us can’t focus without a good playlist, working at a coffee shop that also doubles as a record shop seems like a no-brainer. At Milkcrate, you’ll find tables whose surfaces are made out of vinyl, window seating for people-watching, and bagels, breakfast sandwiches (vegan options as well), salads, and tacos all coming out of the kitchen until 3pm. If you need some caffeine, they serve everything from iced coffees, teas, macchiatos, and a few espresso drinks that will get you more amped up than the Pink Floyd albums on the wall. It’s a place where you could end up sending your last email of the day on an early Friday and heading to Happy Hour at Cheu or another Fishtown spot nearby." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
