The Best Coffee Shops In Philly

"Come for the fun espresso-based drinks—lemon walnut or raspberries n’ cream lattes, anyone?—but definitely don’t leave without some sourdough bread and pastries they make themselves. The tiny, colorful shop only has a few seats, but it’s just steps from Rittenhouse Square. Walk your cookie butter latte and black tahini raspberry brioche bun to the park for a happy little breakfast." - alison kessler

I really enjoyed coming to this coffee shop! The colors were “vibrant” and welcoming. I got the iced cookie butter latte with oat milk. It was creamy, rich and delicious! It is the perfect sweet treat and pick me up all wrapped up in one. I also enjoyed the lemon poppyseed muffin. It is the perfect walking distance from Rittenhouse Square if you want somewhere in nature to enjoy your latte.

Great place for brunch dates. I absolutely love their Chai Tea Latte, and their Ethiopian Teima coffee. I can’t wait to come back with friends and family. The facility and bathroom are spotless, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is bright and welcoming. Hidden gem!

Great location right next to nice restaurants, 1900 ice cream, and rittenhouse park. Outdoor tables so you can get your coffee and then people watch 🤓. Great flavor, friendly staff. Fast service.

Very cute coffee shop across from Rittenhouse Park. Loved the packaging on their beans! Would have like it more if they had sugar-free syrup.

Atmosphere .5/1: small with hipster vibes. Has a small outside area too Service 1/1: welcoming and friendly crew Price 1/1: average for coffee and pastries ~$6 Food 2/2: Lates were amazing (even the lemon walnut was surprising tasty). Ham and Cheese croissant & Chocolate almond croissant are incredible! 4.5/5: Definitely come visit this establishment and have your food/drink at Rittenhouse square. You won’t regret it.

Cute shop by Rittenhouse Square with limited outdoor seating and even fewer seats indoors. Ideal for to-go orders unless you can snag a table. The coffee was good with interesting latte specials. They have a bakery here so the pastries are nice and fresh! we were lucky to try their Pumpkin cheesecake bronut which was sweet and delicious! it can get busy so we didnt really linger long. It was great that it was so close to the park so you can take your goodies there while you stroll. Love the Vibrant colors here btw!

Got to enjoy the lavender latte here, one of my favorite ones in a long time! The shop is cute and was happy my friend and I happened to wander in. Will definitely return!

Small cafe but cute vibes inside. I love their coffee bean packaging. They have a couple specialty drinks and I got the iced raspberries and cream latte which had raspberry and vanilla syrup. Service was quick and my drink came out with minimal waiting time. There is some bar seating inside and a couple tables outside. Parking was really tough for me to find. Definitely easier to walk here than drive.

Hands down my favorite latte spot in the city! (So far) Their mocha tastes like chocolate milk; the cookie butter latte tastes like you dunked a Boscoff cookie into milk and coffee; the maple pumpkin spice was cinnamony and you could taste a bit of pumpkin! (but could've used stronger maple in my opinion) The place is very small so be prepared to grab and go. They sometimes have seats outside when the weather is nice!

My day doesn't start without coffee and that applies to vacations too. I love trying local coffee shops and experiencing the staff and getting a taste for the locals. Vibrant was a very cute shop coffee with so many amazing options, it was hard pick. I got a lavender oat milk latte, it was amazing! One thing to note is the coffee shop is small!

Run to vibrant! Get the ice cream strawberry sourdough donut! You need it now! Wow! It was perfect! The service is always amazing. Grab a coffee as well. I suggest a lavender blueberry latte with oat milk iced. Vibes are always good. The seating outside is always cute early in the morning. There's no one there so you can grab a spot or sit in Rittenhouse which is right next door. You just wanna go here right now. Grab some merch buy some merch support this local business. I bought some espresso for the next day. Thank you. Go here now bye love you.

If you're in the Rittenhouse Square area, Vibrant Coffee Roasters is THE PLACE to get your coffee (then walk it to the park if it's nice outside; this is not really a place you sit inside at, and while there are a few tables outside you're literally just a minute from a nicer atmosphere then "generic city sidewalk"). I can't speak to any of the baked goods, there weren't any vegan options. The Signature Lattes are where they shine (seriously, look through other reviews), and they change with the season. When we first came it was early summer, and we tried the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte and Cookie Butter Latte both iced with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso. SO GOOD. When it comes to lattes, personally I think you've always got to add an extra shot (in this case, the drink as is comes with two shots - again, that's just not enough caffeine for me). It adds more of that coffee flavor (and Vibrant roasts an exceptional bean - I regret not buying a bag!) and cuts back on the sugaryness of the flavoring. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte tasted like the milk leftover from a bowl of cereal! The Cookie Butter Latte was somehow both sweet AND savory, and for sure my favorite of the two. Our drinks took a little longer to come out than other folks in line (again, because of all the espresso) and there's no real place to wait, so we were just sort of in everyone's way. It seems like regulars here don't mind though, they're in and out so fast. I appreciate there was a bathroom to use while we waited too!

The cookie butter latte was yum, could taste the creamy cookie butter in it. Have an expansive selection of items on the menu and would definitely come back for a bite. Great location, right off rittenhouse!

A super tiny coffee shop, like 4 seats, and a whole late people. We got in on a weekend morning and it was super busy. Their baked goods seems to be sourdough themed: sourdough bagels, sourdough croissants and sourdough bread. They also have a bunch of fun latte flavours as well. Spiced orange mocha - reminiscent of the Mexican hot chocolate. It was good with balanced flavour of chocolate, spices and orange, not much sweetness. As a coffee drink, this would work with a select audience. Cinnamon roll - A unit of a cinnamon roll with lots of icing on top, nice! Other than that didn't feel like it had anything else unique, but still pretty solid pastry. Apple Brie danish - On paper a delicious combo. Sourdough was pastry here was interesting, incorporated more complex flavour but also made the dough a bit harder. It felt like there was not enough Brie in the pastry.

Vibrant is really good! The staff are fast, have yummy pastries, and pretty good coffee. The space is small (so I recommend getting to go and hanging out in the park!), which can make waiting a bit difficult. A heads up - the lattes are sweet sweet. If you don't like them super sweet, get half the sauce/syrup. Also, the cold brew is pretty good and great if you just want a good ol' faithful caffeine hit and not a fun coffee treat.

***This is a review of the coffee beans I picked up at Vibrant*** I walked into a nice little coffee shop in Rittenhouse square on the recommendation of one of my friends. I wanted to get some beans for my new coffee machine (sorry coffee shops, I am now an at home coffee machine addict). I picked up some expresso beans which smelled amazing (I smelled the peach and chocolate type smell the beans have to offer). The beans tasted really silky in the cappuccinos I made. Hopefully, I can be a real coffee aficionado and go into more details into the flavor profile.

I love the name of this shop and it fits their unique offerings. I love the sourdough that they use for their pastries and bagels. I've enjoyed their rotating lattes with homemade syrups. One of my favorites is the Irish one with almond and mocha sauce.

This place has a great atmosphere, great coffee aroma as you walk in makes you want to get a cup the minute you walk past the door. If the smell doesn't get to you, then the desserts and that little bakery of those breads and bagels they have displayed will. Vibrant's menu is impressive with the different flavors you can enjoy a cup of coffee. You know we all love those seasonal blends! What more can you ask for? Personally, any establishment that shows a great deal of patience with a smile to boot, will always win me over. That will make customers want to come back, and you know they will tell others. That is the best advertisement right there, word of mouth... other than Yelp of course. Variety is a choice of life is what I like say, so please go inside take in their unique decor, and enjoy a cup, or a bite. You can even do both if you want, no pressure. With kind regards, ~Nando

I am updating review because my husband walked back to try to get some kind of refund for the items and was able to get some partial refund for three of the croissants and the two sandwiches with kid bites out of them. They wouldn't refund the loaf as it left the establishment. It was something, and it was appreciated. Thank you for that.

Always reliable! Fun specials, the cookie butter and spicy orange mocha lattes are good. Good matcha latte as well, gets crowded on the weekends but they keep it moving. Great for sipping in the park, they have a few seats outside but no indoor seating as it's a really small space

A hole in the wall, the ambiance could definitely be improved upon. While service wasn't mean, they definitely weren't friendly. We bought a bag of beans, a chai, and an oat latte. The drinks weren't white warm, and the chai, though I asked for it just just be slightly sweetened, was a bit too sweet. Hopefully the beans are better than our experience in store.

I loved the coffee. I got a small hot latte with vanilla and oat milk and it was so good that I wished that I had a larger size. The reason that I pulled this review from five stars to four is because the counter where you can add milk, sugar, and where you put the lid on your drink has been dirty The last couple times I've been in. I wish I took a picture but this past time there were open boxes taking up a majority of the counter, and then the remainder looks like it had not been wiped down in quite a few days. It was dirty, Sticky from sugars and liquid mixing, and it was just not a great site to see. The coffee was good, but the cleanliness could be better

Stopped by this coffee shop while staying nearby for a conference in Philly. The staff were super friendly. I got a latte (solid choice) and decided to live dangerously by trying a bronut. Never had one before, but wow. It was surprisingly delicious. The shop is cozy... and by cozy, I mean small. There was a line, so keep that in mind if tight spaces make you uncomfortable. Overall, great vibes. Would 100% return, mostly for the bronut.

Had a great experience at Vibrant! It is a great grab-and-go option with very little sit down space. There is no inside seating, but there are a few tables outside. There was a small line that moved quickly and the staff was super friendly! I ordered a seasonal drink - the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte. It was delicious! My friend was not a fan of their chai latte, but all of their coffee drinks looked & smelled delicious. Worth a visit, especially if you are grabbing a coffee on the way to the Rittenhouse Square farmers market across the street!

This place is tiny but mighty. It's down the road from a park where you can walk and enjoy your delicious treat. I ordered the cookie butter latte, and it was delicious! The right blend of frothy milk, and sweetness from the cookie butter. A great way to warm up if you're planning to walk in downtown Philly.

Went in today for an afternoon coffee and was so impressed! I really enjoyed my Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte with oat milk. So often lattes are ruined by extra sweet syrups, but not this time! This had the right amount of honey, cinnamon, and coffee and together the taste was epic! My friend got a lavendar latte and raved about it as well. Great Baristas who were extremely helpful and gave honest and accurate suggestions based on what we described we were crazing. Good energy, excellent service, and some really great coffee - definitely check them out, you won't be disappointed. Small, cute little coffee spot in Rittenhouse Square with a few seats if you want to hang out for a bit.

Tiny but mighty shop. From listening to others while waiting for my order, it sounds like they have a lot of regulars. They even knew the order of one of them without needing to ask. There's not much room inside, so if there's more than 3 people waiting, you'll probably need to line up outside. Along with the tables outside, theres a park nearby, so if it's nice outside, there's plenty of spots to people watch with your coffee. All I had was a gingerbread latte, which was good. I was heading to the Reading Terminal Market, so I didn't try any of their food, so I can't speak to that. I could definitely see myself coming back if I was in town. Good coffee and pleasant yet quick service

For years it is my husband who gets coffee beans from Ultimo and Vibrant. Today I came in and bought two bags . Later I learned usually the courtesy is to offer a free coffee or latte when you buy a bag of beans. I bought two bags, tipped and offered none.

Cute little shop right next to Rittenhouse Square. They normally have toasts but they weren't available today so we just grabbed a coffee before sitting in the park. The service was friendly. i had the seasonal cardamom latte with almond milk which was very good though I wished it was a little warmer temp wise. Well worth a visit.

Excellent local coffee shop. There is a lot of art and color inside. The menu is extensive for coffee, tea, and breakfast options. I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk. It was delicious - not too sweet and perfect earthy lavender flavor. We tasted a sample of their famous sourdough bread, which is made in house. There is a giant storyboard inside about how the sourdough is made, including a 'resting' period of over 21 hours. It was delicious. Had we not just eaten, I would've ordered a pastry or sandwich. There is some counter seating, but it was sort of in the way of the line, so I can imagine it's hard to "dine in" here. Everyone we saw was taking their items to go. We did as well.

#1 BAGEL of all time lives in Philly! Was scouring Yelp for a last minute breakfast spot before my daughter had to leave for work. I had all but given up hope, as the clock ticked closer to 8:30am. At the very last second, I found Vibrant only a couple blocks from my hotel in Rittenhouse. After a quick walk through the park, we found it. Being originally from the Bay Area in California, sourdough bread is my favorite, and am always excited to find it in other cities across the US. These guys apparently specialize in sourdough bagels and bread, which was a pleasant surprise. I went ahead and ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and a latte. My daughter got a peach cobbler bun and an OJ. When my bagel arrived, it was smallish and unimpressive looking, really didn't look like anything special. I already ordered it though, so may as well eat it. EYES WIDE OPEN! I had just bitten into the perfect bagel. Chewy with just the right amount of crispness. The small, thin size lent itself to the perfect ratio of bread to outer shell. The everything seasoning was perfectly balanced as well. Not too oniony or garlicky, not too much of any one seasoning, and no unwanted things either. I'm not 100% sure, but the cream cheese seemed homemade as well, with just the right amount of firmness but soft enough to spread. A hint of salt in the "everything " mix and cream cheese. Words can't do it Justice, just know after I ate half, I went back to the counter and ordered a package of 6 to take home. My daughters peach cobbler bun was light and airy. Complex, not thick and clunky. OJ was fresh and latte was bold flavored. Every item at Vibrant, literally woke up the senses, making this spot aptly named. The service was pretty chill, not a lot of smiles, but hey it was early. Regardless... Congratulations Philly, a city known for having the best cheesesteaks actually houses an even more impressive, elite bagel.

Vibrant is the sister cafe to Function on 10th and Carpenter, which means that their sourdough pastries are just as delicious. This week was a blood orange and rhubarb roll, and it was fantastic: lightly sweet and chewy but not overpowering . The baristas at Vibrant, however, I think are better than those at Function. My coffee was way less watery and more full-bodied and rich. I ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte, and it tasted like I was drinking the milk after finishing a big bowl of the cereal. So tasty! They don't have much seating inside, and it's a tight squeeze to order and wait for your beverage. But, there are some additional tables outside and the proximity of Rittenhouse Square makes it easy to find somewhere to enjoy your pastry and beverage on a nice day.

The first time I hit up Vibrant, I met Laura, a super-welcoming regular - thanks for the intel and tips about this spot! This Vibrant Coffee location is the size of a breadbox, with light sidewalk seating. It's a stone's throw away from Rittenhouse Square Park - the BEST outdoor seating. If you choose to sit inside, be prepared for hustle and bustle when coffee demand goes up. The coffee? It's tasty - shout out to barista Grace for the delicious cortados! Vibrant has been around for two years, and here's to two more! Er, many more than two! Credit accepted. There's a bathroom (surprisingly).

What a great coffee shop! There's a cool menu, with interesting hot and cold drinks, as well as an impressive array of baked goods. Definitely some unique options here, including their seasonal drinks (cinnamon toast crunch latte, anyone?). I had a lavender latte, and was very happy, both with the quality of the roast and the flavors in the drink. Super subtle, and not sweetened to death. The inside is small, so a line can form out the door from just a handful of customers, but the staff keeps things moving relatively quickly. It took me about ten minutes to get my drink, and I got on line when there were 3-4 of us standing out front. Definitely check this place out, it's a great option for grabbing refreshments to bring to nearby Rittenhouse Square!

Tea is okay. Avocado toast isn't great - could really benefit from some salt or lemon or both. Croissants were okay. Hope not to return. Customer service leaves much to be desired.

I enjoy the addition of Vibrant to the neighborhood. In fact, I absolutely love their overnight oats. The only thing I respectfully recommend is some work on their storefront which I have pictured here. I realize that the interior is tight but it presently looks a bit lazy. They have awesome signage and pops of color inside and out. Their branding/general aesthetic is retro and fun. So it'd be cool if the view through the windows had some style/organization. It would make for a great street side visual/elevate the city block.

Frigid Sunday morning called for a hot latte! Boyfriend and I stopped by and it smelled so amazing inside the cafe! The pastries looked so delicious but we had some brunch plans so we decided to just order drinks. We ordered the lavender latte and toasted coconut mocha latte, both with oat milk + 3 shots of espresso. It came out to be ~$14 for both drinks, which is pretty steep but what lattes aren't expensive near Rittenhouse? Though, I'm a bit disappointed in both drinks. I could not taste the lavender and it tasted just like a regular oat milk latte. I also could not taste the toasted coconut as the mocha was overpowering). However, once I finished the latte I did get big chunks of coconut at the bottom. For the price, I was expecting more flavor and depth. I could barely taste the espresso even though we added another shot on top of the 2 in there. Overall, maybe I'll come back to try their pastries as that's what everyone's raving about but probably not for their coffee.

As a lover of flavored lattes, I couldn't pass up a visit to Vibrant for their signature lattes with rotating flavors. It's a small shop, but there is some seating and enough room for customers to move about. When I visited, they had cookie butter, cinnnamon toast crunch, blueberry lavender, and lemon nut lattes. These are definitely flavors that are hardly found in coffee shops. I ordered a hot cookie butter latte and it was so creamy and delicious. Some flavored lattes tend to be overwhelming sweet but this one was perfect and carried a strong flavor of Speculoos cookie butter. I could almost trick myself into thinking that I was eating cookie butter. They also have a variety of roasted coffee with enticing tasting notes, but typically they're priced $17-24 and Partners was having a sale. I'm definitely coming back next season to try their new concoctions!

I have a huge sweet tooth when it comes to my coffee, especially lattes. Come here if you're looking for flavored coffees. LATTES: They have great signature latte choices. Signature lattes rotate on a seasonal basis; when I went in early September, they had blueberry basil, lemon walnut, cinnamon toast crunch, and blueberry lavender. The latte was delicious. SEATING: It's tiny on the inside with very few seats. Not a place to go if you want to get work done or talk to a friend. During the summer, they had outdoor seating, which expanded the options a little bit. However, I imagine in the winter, it becomes more of a grab-and-go place. If I come back to Rittenhouse Square, I know that this will be a go-to cafe to return to.

Great coffee - and fun, creative flavors if you want to go that route! The orange creamsicle flavor is always a favorite, and I recently enjoyed a cinnamon crunch latte. Vibrant's beans are also expertly roasted and they run the gamut of smooth, roasty, and safe to funky, acidic, and floral, so there is something for everyone. Their bakery game is super strong as well, with sweet options like filled doughnuts and cinnamon rolls (with the sweetness tempered by a sourdough base) as well as bread loaves, bagels, and other savory options. If it's not too busy in there, ask the staff for a recommendation and tell them what you like - they haven't led me astray yet! The space is small - maybe two bar chairs wedged against a thin bar counter, and it is so narrow that there are separate doors for entry and exit out of necessity. I love stopping in before work, and it always makes my colleagues jealous when I walk in with their coffee and a beautiful pastry in hand.

FINE, Vibrant, take all of my money. My gingerbread latte with almond milk was the perfect pick me up after a long run. I was out of beans at my place and had heard great things about their blend varietes, so I made the trip here specifically and am SO glad I did. While the $20 price tag is no joke for a bag of beans, and not really something I can treat myself to ALL of the time, the coffee itself is absolutely delightful. I went with their Rwandan blend and would recommend it to anyone who likes their roasts light and flavor forward. They have house-made sourdough that you can see being baked while you wait for your coffee. I also appreciate they have a small breakfast menu and a full case of pastries that looks delicious. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and you obviously can't beat the location. Not a ton of seating so I would recommend skipping the business meetings here unless it's nice out and you can take your bevvies to the park. Make it part of your regular coffee rotation!

Amazing flavors! Tried the cookie butter latte and Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte and both were outstanding and not too sweet. Baristas were really nice and helpful with deciding what to get!

Especially on a Saturday morning, this Vibrant location has a long line (out the door, too) with people waiting to get their coffee fix. The baristas here are pretty quick with orders, so you actually don't have to wait too long for your drink. They have an extensive latte menu (and a seasonal signature lattes menu), limited black coffee options, lots of non-coffee options (like teas and kombucha) along with pastries and breakfast sandwich options. This isn't a coffee snob kind of location, but that's OK with me. I'm normally a black coffee person, so I struggled pretty hard to choose between cold brew (a true classic) and one of their signature lattes with blueberry syrup. But I'm a sucker for blueberry flavors, so I decided to splurge on a latte this morning. I also appreciate the unique syrup flavors and combinations they have here (on their signature lattes menu), which I don't normally see in most cafes. ICED BLUEBERRY & BASIL LATTE (WITH OAT MILK) - 7 They also have blueberry & lavender, but didn't want something too sweet so opted with basil instead. This latte was pretty pricy, but at least it was 16 oz. The oat milk was a 75 cents up charge, so the regular latte is probably $6.25, I liked the blueberry & basil syrups and would have never thought of this flavor combination. However, it's hard for the syrups to blend well with the oat milk since it's a cold drink so lots of residue sitting on the bottom. The espresso flavor wasn't too strong, but at least I could taste it in the latte. Overall, it was an enjoyable drink for a Saturday morning and would recommend giving it a try if you also love blueberry flavored things like me! There's not much interior space (either no sit-down tables or very few) but there are a few tables outside the shop you can eat and drink. There's also the Rittenhouse Square across the street with a lot of benches to enjoy your pastries and coffee, as well. This is what my friend and I did and we definitely enjoyed the nice summer weather under the shade while sipping on our iced flavored lattes this morning!

This location of Vibrant has delicious drinks - the specialty lattes are great. Great location right near the Square. It's small inside, but a good option if you're getting a to-go drink.

Long line out the door clearly indicates this place knows what they're doing! Located near Rittenhouse Square the interior of this place is quite tight, but the coffee is delicious and I'm still regretting not getting the banana bread bun that was calling to me from the pastry case while we were there!

After reading several reviews, I knew to expect a small space, so I wasn't surprised to see cluttered windows as I approach front door. It only added to the endearing charm of the cozy space. I was greeted with a smile, my order was taken (black coffee and sourdough with butter), and a couple of the employees and I had a pleasant exchange about butter. The staff were VERY friendly to customers and to each other. I had taken a book, so I got to sit and witness this firsthand. Even when a line started to form, everything remained calm and organized, in spite of the tight quarters. When a mistake was made by an employee, a coworker corrected and explained, all with a great deal of respect and patience. All of this added to my amazing experience here. Not to mention THE COFFEE AND THE SOURDOUGH!!! Oh my goodness, what a punchy, deliciously-crusted, open, airy bread. You can tell they have it down to a science. I was given a generous thick slice and ate the entire thing, it was that good. My black coffee, an Ethiopian origin, had more depth of flavor than a typical Ethiopian, with less of the sharp acidity and better balanced, but still teeming with flavor. The ambience of the space that day was elevated by chill alt rock playing through the speakers, one of my favorites. Not too loud; energetic, but not over the top for a Monday morning, If you're in Philly, please do yourself a favor and visit Vibrant. PS I had such a wonderful experience, I was compelled to purchase a T-shirt as a souvenir.

Almond croissant I had on Saturday 1/13 was rock hard and considering the cost it was pretty disappointing. Oat milk latte was pretty standard but nothing to write home about, especially since it took so long to make. It is so crowded in here because of the size of the shop, even when it wasn't really crowded. I came in long after the morning rush and the area with lids, napkins, etc was a mess even with lots of workers and no crowd. I was really underwhelmed. A good coffee didn't make up for the rest of the experience. However, I hear good things about the bagels and specialty lattes, so I will give it another chance and avoid the midday Saturday timeframe.

Delicious coffee and I like their seasonal specials. No indoor seating but they have a couple chairs outside.

Stumbled upon this coffee shop after a workout class one day and was very pleased. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by smiles from all the staff. I ordered an oat latte which was delicious! I didn't get to try and of the food/baked goods but I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in the city!

Philly has a lot of coffee places, but this has gotta be one of the best to-go coffee places in the city. The plain old brewed coffee has amazing flavor. The lattes are delicious and they have hot chocolate and lemonade for the kids! I wish they had a pick up window during covid but you do have to go in and it's a small space. Don't forget your mask!

This new hidden gem definitely has a vibrant atmosphere! It's tucked into the side of an apartment complex, so keep your eyes peeled or you might just walk right past it. I got an iced cinnamon crunch latte and it was definitely not worth the price. The iced matcha was very good, but had a bit of matcha chucks left (they need a better whisk I think). Their oat milk lattes are good! As for their pastries- they are phenomenal! I've had the croissant and the crud fin and both were very Vibrant! Would highly rec those. Overall, have come back many times and will keep coming back (as long as my wallet allows).
