Black Turtle Coffee

My only complaint is that it is a tad expensive. If your looking for a place with a great range of beverages and they have delicious foods, friendly people and clean space, then this is the place! I had the lattice parmesan leek egg pastry and it was so delicious, they warmed it up for me and I was very happy :)

Honest review time: Black Turtle Coffee feels like a business. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but a reflection of how they've structured their customer experience. Rules are posted everywhere, and the menu prioritizes efficiency and profitability, offering limited customization to keep specialty drink prices within value. While some coffee shops overwhelm with choices, I found their menu a bit too restrictive. “16 oz” only means there’s little demand for these drinks so I’d find out which ones the more profitable beverage and cut ties with others. After tip, my drink came to $9.50, and I would have appreciated a smaller, more affordable option. There are only options to increase the cost of a beverage, not reduce it. The Irish Treasure was delicious, but as it cooled, I started questioning whether it was worth the price. That said, the baristas are consistently kind—they hire good people. I’d love to see the space feel more inviting. If you need that many posted rules, it’s often a sign that the interior design isn’t working as intended. Hopefully, as they grow, they refine the experience in a way that balances structure with warmth. For now, I’d give it a solid 3 out of 5.

Very nice little cafe in Philly. Loved the matcha (was on the sweeter side if you prefer that) and muffin selection. Appreciated the customer bathroom.

Great atmosphere, solid cup of coffee and the food was flavorful. The Caesar wrap was well seasoned and flavored without being too drippy like most Caesar wraps. Great execution. The French toast muffin was delicious and tasted eerily like eating a French toast stick in a good way. The chips were pretty good and I’m a picky chip eater Service was courteous and relatively quick even though the line was long Will definitely be back

The matcha latte and black drip coffee were decent and really appreciated the vegan pastry option (vegan croissants, pretty yummy) that they heated for you before serving. The non dairy milk options were $1 extra though

Awesome little coffee shop to try! I’m usually the type to want coffee around 5pm and instead of going to the Starbucks around the corner, I ended here giving this shop a shot. I don’t regret it one bit. They had lots of food and drink options! Staff was friendly and prices are reasonable.

In A Nutshell: -Black Turtle Coffee is a legit coffee shop in Philly. -I tried their red eye called Hammershell & it tasted really good. -It had the right amount of caffeine too. -Their sausage breakfast sandwich was super-tasty, their sauce had a nice touch of spice too. Overall, this corner spot w/ bright big windows was the perfect way to start the day.

Cute little place and comfortable space for working! I sat downstairs where the foot traffic was minimal and people were generally quiet, even when having conversations. Their wifi is also strong, which I really appreciated! That coupled with the friendly staff and pretty good chai latte made my overall experience very pleasant, and I would definitely come back! My only minor complaint would be that the downstairs seating area had a bit of a basement smell to it, but I barely noticed it once I started working.
