Vernick Coffee Bar

"This is the ultimate corporate lunch spot in the heart of Center City. Chef owner Greg Vernick reinvents the modern day coffee spot into something simultaneously modern, elegant, and cool. For those who want light fare, the chilled shrimp yakisoba noodles with sweet corn, miso, and thai basil is the perfect choice." - Ernest Owens, Melissa McCart

"James Beard award-winning owner and chef Greg Vernick runs this impressive coffee shop that’s respected for its seasonal lattes and espressos. The second-floor cafe within the Comcast Technology Center serves up coffee alongside baked goods and bountiful lunch dishes." - Nadia Chaudhury, Ernest Owens

"James Beard award-winning owner/chef Greg Vernick continues his passion for New American dining with an impressive coffee shop that’s respected its seasonal lattes and espressos. Located steps away from Logan Square on the 2nd floor of the Comcast Technology Center, diners can enjoy Caffe Umbria coffee alongside Vernick’s full-service café of baked goods and bountiful lunch entrées." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"James Beard award-winning chef Greg Vernick opened his stunning coffee bar in the lobby of the Comcast Technology Center in 2018. While the coffee and tea drinks are superb, one of its most sought-after menu items is the brown butter chocolate chip cookie. Made with Valrhona chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt, these cookies sell out quickly. Luckily, even just one is large enough to share." - George Banks-Weston

"Vernick Coffee Bar in the Comcast Tech Center is one of the coolest places to grab a croissant and coffee in the city. There's plenty of seating in the post-apocalyptic chic room, which makes it useful for a Center City meeting over Caffè Umbria coffee, pastries, grain bowls, and sandwiches. A huge plus: they take reservations here so you don’t have to plot a seating strategy while you’re in line." - alison kessler
