Just as good as the Center City locations. Consistently good drinks and friendly service. I love the strawberry oat milk matcha latte! I also love the caramel black salt latte!

I stopped by Elixir Coffee because soo many people recommended this cafe for the matcha and I'm so glad I did. I got their strawberry matcha and it was delicious--perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The vibe of the café is calm and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating (even out door seating too!) I also appreciated that they offer free WiFi, which made it easy to get some work done without any issues. My only small drawback is that there weren't many food options, but the drink I had was excellent. Definitely a great spot if you're looking to enjoy a quality drink and a productive atmosphere. I'll absolutely be back real soon.

Was good, had a nice selection of baked goods + donuts. About 11 bucks for latte and a treat. Not too many places to sit, and was pretty busy and long line for a Saturday morning. Matcha was tasty, people were chilling. Not a huge space, in the bottom of an apartment building. If you live close, would recommend. But if not, journey other places, or their other locations.

The space was nice and large enough for groups to chat or people to get work done. Both baristas were lovely and they had good taste in music. Coffee was very nice. No notes! Nice addition to a neighborhood.

I came here on a recent trip to Philadelphia, and the coffee was great. There was so much space for sitting and socializing and the coffee was so good. I typically am solely an iced coffee girl, but the Black Salt Caramel Latte with Oatmilk was everything. So much flavor, the perfect amount of foam. Good with every drop. I wanted to get another but opted not to get anything but it was so good.

Food/Drinks: the caramel black salt latte was on the bitter side: I didn't taste much of the caramel or salt. Gave that to my brother to drink. The strawberry oat milk matcha latte was the best strawberry matcha latte I've had. Strangely enough, it tasted like cereal milk after mixing it thoroughly. I had a bite of a powdered cream donut/pastry. It was super soft and the pastry cream was delightful. Not too heavy. Service: took 10 mins of so. It was busy for a Thursday evening. The price was to be expected in the city. $6+ per drink. It beats your franchise coffee chains though. Ambiance: your typical cute coffee shop. Aesthetically pleasing despite it being full of people. It was bustling.

Elixr is my favorite coffee shop in our neighborhood and so far in Philly! I am a huge fan of the care the baristas take to make drinks and how welcoming they are. My favorite drink is the strawberry oatmilk latte with matcha

I always get the matcha strawberry with oat milk. Absolutely delicious, they have the perfect ratio! Cute cafe with ample seating and tables to work at. It's usually pretty quiet. Very minimalist decorating. Service is always great and the drinks are pretty consistent.

Overall, it was a decent experience at Elixr. The cafe is clean and comfortable. Our drinks were mostly very good. The matcha was tasty. I had a very underwhelming almond milk latte. It was very watery and, unfortunately, unremarkable. The highlights were the butterfly lemonade and black salt caramel latte. Those two were very good. I recommend either of those for your visit. The staff were friendly enough and welcoming. Good spot!

Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall great cafe for work and coffee. Noise level - 70db busy cafe Wifi speed - 119 down 17 up (good for work you can download but not meetings due to low upload speed) Power plugs - about 16 (scattered against the walls around the cafe) Seats - 30 indoors Parking - unsure. Did not drive. The service was great the barista was friendly. My ice latte came within minutes and it was delicious on a hot afternoon. And if you buy a bag of beans, you can a cup of joe for free!
