Nice little hipster coffee shop. The coffee is average, but it does its job. The bagels are bagels. On the plus side, most things are not expensive like Starbucks or La Colombe. It is an awesome place to study and relax with a window view of Rittenhouse. The staff is very nice.

Stopped by for lunch with my boyfriend. The breakfast egg sandwich had a hard boiled egg which wasn’t what we had expected. Cute place and staff was very friendly.

The staff was friendly, my latte was good. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, just what I was looking for. I wasn’t super impressed with the food. I got a sandwich and it was fine. I think this place is definitely more of a beverage/pastry place than a lunch place. All in all, this was a nice escape from a stressful day.

Café Walnut is a sweet little shop! The staff at the counter were so nice, and the seating area upstairs is the perfect place to settle in and get some work done with a beautiful view of the park. I was in a rush so I didn’t get to try some of the more interesting and exotic options on their menu, but my hot chocolate and croissant were really yummy and I’m looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer!

The upstairs is nice to get some work done, read or just sit at the window and people watch but seriously … what is up with all the flies? Downstairs too!

Great place! Good coffee, nice upstairs seating area, friendly staff. Also, great bibimbap! I was a little suspicious when I saw all the lettuce they were throwing in, but it works. Like a bibimbap-salad hybrid.

During pope weekend there wasn’t much to do outside of the papal activities so I ventured to spend some much needed time to read a book I’ve been working on. I came with a big group of friends who were studying or doing work. To get inside the café and order, you have to go down into the bottom floor and take the stairs up for more seating. This café has a very homey feel with a lot of various knick knacks and drinks. They make smoothies and have various teas like the Korean jar ones from hmart and the usual green tea. They also serve coffee and food as well which I have yet to try. The ordering process was kind of funny because the cashier must have been new and she was a little scatter brained and didn’t remember if she gave my friend her change — which she already did. Oh dear… I got the jujube tea which was hot but I wish they made their own as opposed to taking something premade and just boiling it. Otherwise the café has its charm. I can’t quite put a finger on it but I don’t feel compelled to come back. Perhaps next time I’m in the area I’ll give their coffee a try and see if that’s better.

Cute, fun, charming, location with good service and a small, but tasty selection of pastries. More of a coffee shop than a café, they do have very well made fresh fruit smoothies, and a selection of sliced fresh fruit.

Found a new favorite study spot while enjoying a variety of drinks! Large beautiful open area upstairs that overlooks the park on walnut street for a quiet studying time, best of all… it was NOT packed. If you’re a fan of La Colombe(my personal favorite quality coffee shop), then you’ll love their coffees! The owners are hilarious and love to create their own inspired blend of coffees, smooths, and teas. Must Try: –Red Velvet Latte(for coffee drinkers) basically a Mocha but on steroids and it’s red. Similar to La Colombe’s mocha, but more chocolate-y and infused with their homemade syrup. — MISUGARULATTE!(for non coffee drinkers) Considered a super drink because of the natural healthy ingredients inside. It’s basically a korean steamed milk latte that has a nutty, sweet, rice taste. It was so smooth and rich. Coming from an Asian background, I love this type of drink. I had their quinoa one(you don’t taste it) and it’s been my favorite! You’ll also have surprise pulps of barley or brown rice from the drink– so be ready :) Disappointments: — the free walnut crunches are now being charged for — many flies upstairs near the window

My double espresso was perfect. Strong with good foam on top and about 4oz. Just what I needed. Plus they offer yogurt and smoothies that matched the preferences of my wife and kids. Wifi was good and strong. Staff very friendly. We had a hard time finding it. Note to owner: please add prominent sign that extends outward from building. You can’t see your shop unless you are close.

I SAW A MOUSE! Was looking for a place to study and found this place on Unilocal.Its very close to where I’m staying in Philadelphia. The atmosphere is good, lots of tables and fast wifi! The only thing that put me off was, midway through my Latte I saw a mouse scurry over the floorboards. Didnt feel like staying there after I saw the mouse!

Café Walnut has a spacious seating area upstairs, and because it’s obscurely hidden in plain sight, it’s quiet with a few patrons at any time. Luckily the wi-fi was reliable and the seating area was clean, because that’s about all that sets this place apart. The downstairs, where you must enter and place orders, looks grungy and more like an offbeat grocery store than a coffee shop. While they offer plenty of coffee flavors, they’re mostly hit and miss. For example, the red velvet latte was an unfortunately expensive thumbs-down. Also, this place seems to have an identity crises as it also serves Korean comfort food. Is this a coffee shop or a restaurant? Who knows, but neither deserves a wow.

Ordered a box of 21 walnut pastries and it took about 30min for them to make them fresh! They’ve been great snacks on our road trip to niagara — lasted us about two days and they didn’t go bad :)

My go-to coffee shop in the city for studying, reading, light food, and free wifi with a view of Washington Square Park! I really like this coffee shop because it is relatively unknown by tourists and only the locals in the neighborhood know this place exists. It is an undiscovered gem. NEVER crowded or loud. I can stay for hours without being hassled. There is a limited selection of salads and cut fruit and some basic bagel/croissant sandwiches. You have a choice of toppings on the salad like grilled chicken or bulgolgi(marinated prime beef thinly sliced) and of course the coffee selection is good too. They use La Colombe beans so you can’t go wrong there. Nice bathroom, always clean. The only downside, and this is a very very minor issue is that the tables are wobbly. This is understandable since the floor is hardwood so you’re gonna get some uneven flooring at spots making tables wobbly. Lastly, I like the family-run/community feel of this place. The owner is really nice. I wanted to buy their pan friend dumplings for a picnic lunch at the park, and I was short a dollar and she said it was okay. She even offered to heat up my dumplings and tried to give me extra sauce. Thats good business! I love that. That’s why I always come back and tip every time :)

3 stars for a nice staff, 1 star for spoiled food. Be careful of the food in the cold case, I purchased a salad here and the chicken was rotten. The smell was unbearable. I took it back and they refunded me and were very kind, but I haven’t purchased food since that experience. TLDR: Good for coffee, not food.

Such a cute coffee shop!!! Reminds me of coffee shops in Boston. Finally a coffee shop that doesn’t play music too loud! This place is simply superb!!! I had the espresso and it was fantastic. They were also SUPER nice and helpful in explaining menu options… huge breakfast/sandwich/korean food selection, which is so surprising for a coffee shop. I will have to come back to try the food. Very reasonably priced. They offered me a specialty pastry which looked like a little macaroon… walnut soft shell filled with red bean pastry and it was incredibly tasty… which is saying a lot because I normally don’t like red bean paste, but this was so yummy, and the perfect size. Fyi — the entry door is located underground, so you have to go down a few stairs… but they have a large seating area«upstairs»(which is at street level) and you can exit there. Huge floor to ceiling windows gives a great view of the park. This design lets in a lot of natural light into the main seating area which is great for studying. Most of the tables are small and a little wobbly, but that adds to the charm of the place. If unbalanced tables bother you, then just be prepared. The wifi is free… no password needed and it’s super fast! I loved that it wasn’t overly crowded with people talking like most coffee shops, so it’s great for students or writers. Quickly becoming a new favorite spot for me!

The coffee/lattes are average, good if you’re walking by and want a hot drink or beverage. The staff, however, is exceedingly kind, helpful, and charismatic in my few experiences here. They offer you free little red bean pastries with whatever you purchase and are willing to accommodate changes or additions to your order even after you’ve paid.

great little café near the Liberty Bell. perfect for when it’s chilly out and you need a break from the weather. warm up with a cup of tea or coffee, hop on the wifi and relax. a variety of food — mostly pastries, salads, and sandwiches — if you’re craving a bite. grabbed a cup of London Fog — Earl Grey and steamed milk. definitely hit the spot.
