Elixr is the Philly coffee shop to beat, favoring a lighter roast

On a small side street in the heart of Center City, you’ll find Philadelphia’s banner cafe. The vibrant murals on the walls change every few months, but the friendly baristas and serious pour-overs? Those are constants. They favor a lighter roast, so if you like it dark and moody rather than floral and bright, head elsewhere.
PRO TIP: The secret’s out and this place is packed: Unless you’re feeling a swell of brotherly love, we’d recommend just taking your pour-over to go.
THE DETAILS: Open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
