Editorial Review for Old City Coffee – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Old City's coffeehouse stalwart has been roasting and brewing coffee since 1984. At the the Reading Terminal kiosk what you'll miss of the original spot's ambiance you'll gain in convenience as you grab a bag of beans during your lunch break. Counter service saves you on tips. Scones, muffins and cookies capture most of the menu. The baristas have a decent grip on making an espresso, but the basic drip coffee is simply superb.

Ok...so since I am not a coffee drinker, I can't say much about the coffee here, other than the fact that they have many varieties to choose from. What is impressive about Old City is that they do great gift baskets for friends, and are more than willing to make up a basket for you on the spot if you can't find one that suits your needs. Try that one at your local Starbucks!

I like to think of myself as a coffee snob and sometimes get attitude from various barrista's. it reminds me of the early days of "Bigbucks-Starbucks" as the Barrista would often correct one if you used the non-starbucks phraseology {You asked for a small coffee and they would say you would like a Tall coffee}. But, I support local, micro roasters and the coffee is nice at Old City without the bitter,burnt taste like at some other places. So, I recommend Old City, but be wary of the attitudes.
Pros: Good quality
