Bold Coffee Bar

I was truly heartbroken to hear that Bold Coffee Bar is closing down soon, it has been my favorite coffee in Philly for the past 3 years. I do not live near it so I have never been able to visit in person, so I always DoorDash it on special occasions, but the coffee alone has always been worth it. The coffee is truly something special and will miss it very much 💖 the burrito was also insanely good and only ever got it once, I still dream about it

Some of the best, high-quality coffee in the area. They have a ton of specials and fun flavors too! Just not dog friendly like many of the other coffee places in the city, but probably just for health reasons.

Service, vibe and overall quality was 5 ⭐️ . The owner was running it herself. Everything was delicious. I ordered a medium latte, cinnamon roll and bacon, egg and cheese burrito for $19!!

This is a great coffee shop with a great vibe. The staff was very friendly and approachable especially since it was our first time. My wife and I got 3 drinks to try their different menu options. We got a tea, a speciality coffee, and a cold brew. All tasted really great! The food was also good. This coffee shop is also wheelchair accessible. The doors are wider and there is an accessible bathroom. The coffee shop is smaller though so it can present spacing problems during a busier time. They do offer an outdoor table with seating for those who want to drink and eat outdoors at the coffee shop.

Dog friendly! Got a London fog and it was very flavorful. I get London fogs a lot and they can be hit or miss with flavor, this one was perfect! They had a good assortment of breakfast sandwiches and pastries too. Service was quick

Visiting from Missouri. Loved the hot caramel macchiato topped with sweet cold foam. I would highly recommend BOLD Coffee Bar.

The coffee was okay. I got the peppermint bark and it was smooth but there was absolutely no peppermint flavor. I also ordered the breakfast burrito which was supposed to have sausage, egg, and cheese it only came with egg and cheese. Unfortunately, it was awful the wrap was super soggy and either the egg or cheese was dripping everywhere. I only tried one bite and wouldn’t recommend. Otherwise, the coffee is decent and came quickly through Uber eats.

A rarity of a coffee shop on the east coast. Of course the coffee is good and they have a bunch of fun drinks but what makes it different is the excellent service. They are always kind, ask questions, make recommendations. Also dog friendly. Lastly, they have pretty good breakfast wraps. It really ain’t that hard and I’m tired of years of overly breaded BECs.

Bold Coffee Bar located at 16th and Ridge is the perfect spot for coffee. The Iced Lavender Honey latte is bold and refreshing

One of my favorite places for oat milk lattes. Very small coffee shop, a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. Baristas are always very welcoming only issue is finding parking in Ridge Ave.

I discovered this coffee bar through social media and the backstory of the couple really resonated with me, so I wanted to support this business for some time. I got the opportunity a couple weeks ago when I was in the Francisville area. It is a nice spot on the busy Ridge road. The inside is inviting and had good food & drink options. I went with a breakfast bacon, egg, and cheese wrap. My beverage was a hot white mocha & caramel coffee. Both items were great. Look forward to patronizing when I'm in the area again.

Cute coffee bar in the Francisville neighborhood. We thought to come here for a quick coffee and bite. It's a small shop but does have decent coffee and there are a small selection of brunch/lunch items available. Parking seems to be hit or miss. We came mid morning on a Saturday and it was fairly easy to find street parking. On-site parking is not available. Inside, we ordered at the counter and then sat inside to enjoy our coffee drinks. They do have some seasonal concoctions (pumpkin spice varieties, etc) along with standard options on their regular menu. My wife also ordered a breakfast burrito. The burrito took a bit to be made as they had to make the eggs fresh. The workers were busy but were attentive and did their best to make sure our coffee didn't get cold while we waited on the food. Overall, enjoyed the experience and the coffee. Would likely return for another weekend treat when in the area.

Small seating area but not crowded. Great ambiance free wifi. Understated study spot. Drinks awesome, especially fruity blitz. Limited baked goods.

We were passing though the area and decided to stop in. The interior is small and cozy. It has a few window high top spots and two tables. All the spots were taken up so we took our drinks to go. We got the brown butter caramel cookie latte (iced) and the matcha latte with a hint of rose syrup (recommended by the cashier) (hot). The brown butter caramel cookie latte was just OK and the matcha latte was basically lightly sweetened milk with a hint of matcha and rose. Not a bad place to stop as there doesnt seem to be many specialty coffee shops in the area, but nothing crazy special about this place.

Sour, bitter coffee. Tried a dozen times. Other options in the neighborhood are better I think.

First time at this local coffee shop on Ridge Ave. It was clean and modern. Ordered the Matcha latte and opted for lavender honey for a touch of sweetness which was surprisingly good! The lavender did not overpower the matcha flavor. Had a sip of the Oreo latte and it was also really good. Oreo crumbles in it was great! Thought the latte would be too sweet but it was actually a good blend. Some pastries available. Will try them next time. Few bar seats inside and two small tables outside. Lots of construction outside so might not be the best ambiance but it will be great once the construction is finished with a lot of new construction in the area. Street parking. Staff was really nice.

I've been going to Bold for a few months now and it's easily one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. Their lavender iced oat milk lattes are always delicious and made with care. The bagels are good too! I think they're known for their more creative coffee concoctions which always tempt me, but I get the same thing every time anyway. When the weather is warmer, they have a couple of seats and tables outside and it's nice to drink your coffee and have a snack under the sun. Bacon Egg and Cheese Burrito: I'd been meaning to try their breakfast burritos ever since they started making them and when I finally got one.... IT HAD NO BUSINESS BEING THAT GOOD. They look small and more like a snack, but once you're done you're definitely full. The cheese was nice and melty and the eggs were perfectly cooked. I cannot recommend it more!!

Stopped in while in Philly and that was a great choice! This gem is close to the Met and perfect for a quick and delicious bite and some coffee. Their coffee is fantastic and their breakfast was tasty. I'd recommend the sausage egg and cheese burrito! I hope to visit again soon.

Do me a favor and SPRINT to Bold Coffee Bar...you won't be disappointed. Fantastic service, several amazing gourmet coffee and tea options, all in the cutest little coffee shop. I ordered the chocolate peanut butter latte and it was so delicious I had to have it again the next morning! I purchased a bag of coffee beans to go so I can attempt to recreate it some day and a bag for my mom for Mother's Day.

We love this neighborhood coffee bar! The owners are so kind and welcoming. They source the best of the best for their customers, which is much appreciated! Bold is also a beautiful coffee bar! They have you normal coffees which you can customize to your liking with all their flavored syrups, SF syrups and dairy free options (almond and oat milk). Not to mention a rotating seasonal list of coffee beverages and teas (have yet to find one that I don't like). They even have a normal chai and an allergen friendly chai which is super earthy! They also have a variety of tasty teas that you can make caffeinated if you need a boost without the crash. As well as, a case of delicious pastries AND some allergen friendly individual packaged baked goodies. Huge bonus: you can bring your pups in with you while you order!!!

Looking for one of the best coffee shops in the Fairmount/Francisville area? Look no further, because Bold Coffee Bar will exceed all of your expectations. From the incredibly delicious drinks and food to the impeccable service, my boyfriend and I look forward to coming here weekly. Not only do we love it, but our pup loves it too! We make sure to get him his pup cup when we go and the look on his face is priceless each time

Cute shop, bitter coffee/latés. Wanted to love it since i live on the block. Super pricey too

Favorite coffee shop in the area! Owners are so friendly; you can tell they are passionate about who they are. The coffee is A1 and they always have a seasonal drink that will keep you coming back! They recently introduced breakfast hand food and it couldn't be anymore satisfying. There are days where they have goods made by one of the owners, so definitely keep your eyes peeled for that!

A little difficult to find due to construction outside. But super cute inside with a good menu. I didn't get to spend much time here since I arrived close to their closing time. Would love to see slightly longer hours! Coffee was great!

Lovely, little cafe by temple university. It's a great study spot with wonderful music and fantastic baristas. They are attentive, super sweet, and make delicious drinks. I ordered a mystic mint which included the aromatic taste of a lesser known herb showing their knowledge and dedication to not only great coffee but also tea. Additionally, the cheese danish was delicious, warm, and just the right amount of sweet! I will definitely be coming back!!

Easy to order online with curbside pick up. I ordered a piña colada Matcha latte. It is the most amazing and refreshing Matcha latte I've ever had. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

My favorite coffee spot in the Francisville neighborhood (and quite possibly in the city, too). I look forward to getting an iced latte from them every weekend! They have so many interesting (and yummy!) flavors to choose from and plenty of non-dairy milk options as well. The owners and people working there are so friendly and kind as well. They always go above and beyond to make their customers happy.

Nice flavor deep and intense coffee! Great find on our visit to Philly! Will definitely be back

I'm not really a coffee drinker, but the lavender honey latte may make me change my mind. Cool vibe, energy, and great location! Service taken seriously and with precision. My first time here, but won't be my last..

Very clean. Fast service, especially for there only being two people working at the time. Love the drinks.

10/10! The breakfast sandwhich, while simple, was prepared to perfection. The bacon was hearty and cooked well, alongside the eggs, while the bread was toasted and buttered to perfection.....and that's coming from someone who doesn't eat bread. The lavendar honey latte was the best lavendar drink I've ever had, and I most certainly would come back for just that alone.

Their pumpkin latte is delicious. Their cold brew is wonderfully intense And, the people that work there are so nice.

I ordered an iced latte with caramel and their bacon egg and cheese burrito through uber eats - it was absolutely amazing! I always feel nervous/can't justify ordering coffee through uber eats because its so expensive but this was the best coffee I've had in quite some time! And it came 10 minutes earlier than expected! They just got a new, very happy customer!

Turmeric ginger chai latte.... delicious!!! Coffee and drinks are a bit expensive (4.25 for 16oz chai-- have to adjust my coffee budget in Mint App). But peep their online menu-- they've got some delicious sounding drinks: iced toffee nut crunch latte? iced oreo crumble latte? pumpkin latte with white chocolate? dang. Genial, helpful staff. Into it.

This place is fantastic and my new regular coffee shop. They do the standards (drip coffee, cappuccino, mocha, chai, etc.) VERY well with consistent quality. They have a large array of signature lattes, as well as, a rotating list of seasonal drinks. So far, I'm yet to have a drink I don't like and have no complaints. The people working behind the bar are welcoming and provide great customer service. I really hope this place makes it through the pandemic because I would hate for a place like this close up shop due to external circumstances.

I've been coming here ever since they opened. I've lived in the area for several years and welcome the addition of a decent coffee shop in the area. While all their drinks are pretty good, I usually buy their cold brew coffee to-go, and their seasonal pastries are pretty good also! Give them a try!

Really cute new coffee place in the neighborhood!! I would say the prices are on par with other coffee shops around here, meaning it's more on the expensive side. I love that they have seasonal drinks, the sweater weather latte is amazing and I think other people agree since everyone ordering at the shop ordered the same thing lol. I appreciate that they have both almond and oat milk as well. Definitely my new coffee spot around here!

I work on ridge Avenue so I'm always driving past this little cute coffee shop. I usually go to dunkin but I was running late to work so I decided to try this place out. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Chic, clean, and overall great customer service. I got a French vanilla hot coffee with cream and sugar. It was perfect and made in practically 2 minutes. I was in and out in a timely manner. Also, it is black owned which is a plus for me! will definitely be returning back!

This little spot has amazing charm and warm, friendly service. The coffee is hot and tasty, not bitter. My husband and I were lost in the neighborhood while on vacation, and the Bold Coffee Bar was an oasis of superb food and hospitality. We will definitely return!

Best spiced chai I've had in the city, and I once took a job at an Indian restaurant simply to learn how to make it...

When I walk my dog in fairmount and I see someone with a cup of coffee that doesn't say "Bold" on it, ... i feel bad for them. Bold is a staple of the community. The owners are really cool, and they make a great little cup of coffee. The staff is friendly, The cold brew is good if you like something straight forward, The lattes are great too for those who like it lighter. Overall a great place to start to start the day.

This place was pretty good, I got a SMORES Latte with a extra shot but tbh it wasn't significantly "SMORES Flavored" maybe due to the extra expresso shot. The croissant was bomb af

this is my new favorite spot for flavored coffee drinks in the city. i am constantly in search of floral flavored coffee & their lavender honey latte is the best. the baristas (possibly also owners? i'm shy but eavesdrop on my husbands small talk) are also so sweet and friendly, and will go out of their way to make sure your drink is perfect. this morning i had to insist on taking my delicious drink, because they weren't positive it was perfect cold brew and simple drinks and pastries here are all great too. lots of vegan options and variety :) strongly recommend !!!!

I'm not normally one for flavored/sweet coffee drinks, but get an iced latte with their cinnamon, vanilla, and maple with oat milk (it was on their fall latte menu called "Sweater Weather") and thank me later. The baristas are nice and they truly care about getting your order right! The space is immaculate and cute adding a vibrant touch to Francisville.

Delicious coffee, pastries and friendly service. Can't go wrong coming to Bold Coffee

Excellent Coffee Bar. Nice little place, the coffee is very good. The staff was very pleasant. Pet friendly.

Bold is my fav coffee shop in all of Philly, where I am from and family still live. Such a cute place and their coffee is very consistent. It has a deep, rich flavor but not too dark and never bitter. They have unique flavor combos that are fun to try and They always have a seasonal drink available as well. They have a lavender honey latte that is out of this world delicious. Love this spot.

This place is amazing! Bold Coffee Bar has been a great addition to the neighborhood. The drinks on their fall menu are SO tasty. Each time I've gone the staff have been polite and friendly. So happy to have this place right around the corner from my apartment.

Went there for the first time today. The baristas were friendly and helpful. The vibe of the store was great and very cool. Also the whole aesthetic was amazing. Totally recommend their signature lattes

OMG, Bold Coffee Bar was simply something else. Great for a group of friends. I like every single thing I have ordered there. Service was fantastic and everyone working here was really nice and helpful. I will definitely crave Bold Coffee Bar.

Cute interior. Excellent coffee. Food looked good but I didn't order any.

Came here frequently while staying at an Airbnb in Francesville. Really great spot. Friendly staff and delicious drinks!

So happy this new coffee spot is walking distance from my house. Staff was super nice and friendly and they are dog friendly too! Coffee selection is great and taste great too! Definitely going to be a regular here

We love BOLD!! We are coffee SNOBS and these gals are crushing it!! Kelly and Lisa (I hope I spelled your names correctly) are beautiful wonderful souls aiming to do a great job. AND THEY DELIVER! Best coffee I've had. Seriously, move over Seattle, there are new BOLD Bad Ass Baristas in town! Best coffee in Philly. Worth the trip if you are not close to Francisville/Fairmount.

Excellent coffee, friendly service and I appreciated the stickers on the floor to encourage social distancing. Convenient web site for online ordering. I'm excited to have a great new coffee spot in my neighborhood!
