"Located in the Bok building, this modest coffee shop is packed with bold flavors and aromas served in picturesque vessels. This means stand-out espressos made with global beans from a thoughtfully curated list." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Located in the Bok building, Two Persons is a modest coffee shop that’s packed with bold flavors and aromas. Their stand-outs are their espressos made with Passenger Coffee, such as the cusco that has the sweet taste of milk chocolate and green grape." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

Rooftop Bar Irwin’s Opens in South Philly This Week - Eater Philly
"Two Persons is a recently opened coffee shop located on the ground floor of the Bok building in South Philly, adding to the building's diverse offerings." - Rachel Vigoda
Inside the historic Bok building, this design-forward cafe pours Passenger and rotating guest roasters in beautiful ceramics. Eater Philly and local critics praise its serene light, thoughtful curation, and easy access to Machine Shop pastries next door.
We were visiting from out of town and found this through Google search and reading reviews looking for specialty coffee shops… it was certainly unique! The “store” is a small fenced area in a reclaimed industrial warehouse - there’s no signage outside for the coffee shop but once you go through the outside door it’s right there. There is also a very interesting pastry shop in the next space over where you can sit and enjoy both a coffee and a croissant or whatever. Our coffees from Two Persons were good. They don’t do pour overs but their drip is good quality and tasting. Certainly recommend!

My favorite coffee spot in Philly! Very kind and helpful staff, The coffee is amazing, and even the serving cups are beautiful. Grab a coffee here and pair it with pastries from Machine Shop for the perfect breakfast! Pretty cool sitting area too!

I've been in specialty coffee for over a decade and visited for the first time today...LOVED IT! So impressed with the variety of roasters represented and they nailed my cortado!

Cute study spaces, nice spread of an area. On the quieter side which I appreciated. They did close the spot down at 2pm which I felt was a little early but I’m still new to the building/area and not sure if it turns into something else. Lots of cute shops around!

Great coffee, great service, great atmosphere. What more could you want? A pastry? Right next door is Machine Shop, some of the best pastries / baked goods in the city. Highly recommend

They've done a great job with this space - plenty of seating, good coffee, and beautiful decor make it a great place to sit, chat and enjoy time together with loved ones. They don't do any complicated/specialty coffee drinks, just basic espresso based options and coffees, but they're all well done.

After 24 hours exploring Philly (and drinking many cups of coffee), Two Persons Coffee brewed my favorite latte. Located inside the BOK Building (a space with creators and business owners in an old 1936 school building), it's the only coffee shop inside. The space itself is stunning with plenty of outlets, seating and strong wifi. They brew Passenger beans and do it masterfully.

In the infamous Bok Building, Two Person represents an essential coffee experience in Philadelphia. Paired with the awesome setting of the former school’s machine shop and the bakery right next door, any visitor should anticipate a very special experience. This is the perfect pairing of vibe and excellent coffee.
