A cappuccino kick-start in the morning before a day spent exploring a new city; a rest in the afternoon with a latte and a slab of cake; a teeny tiny super-strong espresso after a gourmet dinner - coffee is the perfect travel companion.

Higher Grounds

Posted by josef84 24 December 2006

Higher Grounds has been around for less than a year, but is already a staple of the Northern Liberties neighborhood. The people are friendly, the food is tasty, and the atmosphere is great. Complete with free Wifi and good music, this is a place you can hang out in for a while. Especially since they're open until 11pm on Friday and Saturday. For something different, try their green tea latte.

631 North 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA.
Via Septa: Take the Market-Frankford El to Spring Garden. Walk to 3rd then head north. URL: www.highergroundscafe.com
