P S & Co

I’m a student, so I have to be careful with how I spend my money. I spend my spare money on three expensive things, because they keep me healthy and sane — Flywheel, Pure Barre, and PS & Co!
It’s become a weekly treat for me to go grab a post-​workout smoothie (during the Fall, the pumpkin and sweet potato smoothies were amazing, now I get the Elvis w/​Kale, which tastes like a chocolate peanut-​butter milkshake but I pretend is healthy). And I always grab a cold-​pressed juice for later. Yes, they are a bit expensive, but that’s because they’re made with care and are truly delicious. And honestly, they’re sort of miracle workers — back in December my boyfriend and I both came down with that horrible winter crud everyone always gets, so I bought us both an Ubud, their anti-​inflammatory juice. And I swear the next day we were cured!
So all in all — the prices are high, too high for me to come here every day like I’d want to, but that’s because of the amazing quality. Plus, they have lots of discounts — student discount, Flywheel discount, Pure Barre discount, and I think a lot more for people who live and work nearby! I have always had amazing service from people who are really friendly and eager to help you find a product you’ll love. And of course, the elderly cats hanging out in the store waiting to be your friend are a huge plus!

Service was okay, not exceptional. Food was fresh, but their selection was pretty limited. Coffee was good, but nothing stand out. Space was pretty cool though!

Delicious, fresh, cold-​pressed, organic juice and, from the looks of the menu, more! I was spoiled for choice, and I can’t wait to go back and try an array of different juice offerings.
They keep the generously sized glass bottles well-​organized from pure vegetable juice to pure fruit juice, with every combination of concentration in between. The helpful man on duty helped me make up mind, and his advice was sound! My beet, ginger, lemon, etc., juice had just the right balance of sweetness and zing without overdoing it. An impressive and very palatable feat.
As a bonus, you can pony up to keep your juice in the luxe glass bottle, or save a few dollars by switching to a to-​go cup. I loved the bottle, so it’s definitely worth it for the first time at least.
If you’re looking for a delicious juice or smoothie option, I wholeheartedly standby P. S. & Co’s offerings!

The food is organic, gluten free, and delicious! The atmosphere is quaint and charming, and we found the owner and crew to be warm, friendly, and very helpful. My husband and I are so happy to have discovered this little vegan gem!
Looking at the menu, the prices may seem a little high, which is due to the quality of the ingredients used in the dishes. Anyone who tries to cook like this at home, can definitely relate!
On this visit, we had the tofu scramble with pancakes, along with a green smoothie, both were really good — and the pancakes didn’t have that odd texture that often comes with gluten free foods.
This is my new Saturday morning tradition!

As a vegan, I am somewhat embarrassed by this place. Healthful, vegan food does not have to be sold at these high prices, prepacked in (compostable) plastic containers. The small entrees are well over $ 10, which would be perfectly fine if I hadn’t had them pointed out to me in a refrigerated case, with the helpful suggestion that I could microwave them if I wanted them warm. (Yes, I do like my curries warm…)
I am giving this place three stars because it does have some tasty options. I particularly recommend the black and white pudding cup.

I am so pumped to have found PS & Co! It’s definitely going to be a place I go to regularly.
The staff was extremely helpful and patient. Being vegetarian and gluten free can be a bit challenging when trying to find a place to eat. It was a littler over whelming to be able to order anything off the menu. Usually I go to a restaurant and can only eat one thing and it’s normally a salad. Here I could get anything and everything! He explained that would be the case and showed me around to see the options.
I went with the Avacado Nori which was incredible! I could have had 3 orders of that and been satisfied. I also tried the Pesto Capresa and Carmelized Tofu. All of which were excellently seasoned and prepared perfectly! The portions are a little small to the eye but everything is very filling!
PS & Co’s options will not only please someone wit a special diet, but anyone looking for quality made food with dignity and taste!

Looking for a place where you can escape the city and relish in a garden experience? PS&CO is the place for you.
The café turned garden is a beautifully rustic eatery that will delight every gardener within. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, you can pretend to enjoy the natural and organic products PS&CO has to offer.
Although I love the ambiance of this place but I cannot justify the prices. It’s too steep for something that will not hold me over 2 hours. I did try their beet and ginger juice, which was super spicy. I love ginger, but this was a kick in the face, erm, nose.
Also, the Wifi is very spotty, so it’s not a good place to work unfortunately.

The food here is fine as well as customer service. It is just overpriced for selling vegan/​organic foods. I’ve had better experiences at other stores with same or better food quality without overpaying. There is also not that much variety. I am not vegan, but I hear that promoting healthier and more sustainable eating is their thing, this business model of overpricing doesn’t really add up.
However, on food and the space
The seating space is very pretty and cozy, there is cute garden seating in the back.
The fresh coconuts are delicious, they are Asian coconuts, so a little different.
A good place for a treat.

We are staying just around the corner, and stopped here right after our arrival. I’m not sure I want to even try anywhere else, everything was so delicious! I’m gluten free and vegetarian, so it was an amazing find. My husband was similarly enthused, despite not having as restrictive a diet.
I had some spicy noodles and a bahn mi. He had an amazing sweet potato soup (with peanuts, noodles, chili oil and more) and a caprese sandwich. The atmosphere is relaxed, the décor is rustic, and bright. We sat inside, but there’s a lovely patio out back.

Pet/​dog friendly. Organic sandwich and green juice for $ 18 for lunch.
Located walking distance to the Rittenhouse square park.

On a Sunday afternoon I was walking down the street looking for place to grab a bite, and then suddenly I see this little sign on the sidewalk that said something along the lines with «come check out our secret garden» and it pointed at a little alley. it was around 4pm so I thought it’s still sunny out so it won’t be shady to go and see what secret garden the sign was talking about. So I walk up and I see this little place with cute few tables and a wooden wall with few plants and some lights hanging on the top. I walk in and it’s kind of bigger from the inside. A very nice looking café that I’ve never heard of before.
I got a salad and an iced tea for late lunch and sat there listened to nice relaxing music while reading my book. Then I decided to do some work on my laptop until I found out that they don’t have a wifi. In the beginning I was disappointed but then, I thought about it for a second. It’s probably the only café out there or at least one of the very few cafes that don’t have a wifi. If i had an access to a wifi I would’ve probably been distracted by my laptop and my phone but not having internet connection kind of forced me to grab my book and read more while listening to the music and connecting with the novel I was reading.
I can say that I had a great time and I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon. I will definitely be back.

Go-​to spot for light, healthy, detox food, juice and smoothies. All of their smoothies are good but sometimes you really just need a green one. The «greens» always has a nice fruity flavor but I believe the ingredients change with the season. Their refrigerator also always has a good selection for green juices, among others.
They have a nice selection of vegetarian dishes and I usually go for the pad Thai. They’ll heat it up for you if you ask.
All of the food is available for takeout but staying in is a very pleasant option. Especially in the back. The décor is lovely and tranquil all around.
It is a bit pricey but their really good ingredients are worth paying for.

Solid choice for the Rittenhouse area when opting for gluten free and/​or vegan food, juice, smoothies, tea or coffee. As other Unilocalers have pointed out, it’s a step into a nostalgic world where it feels like life was/​is simpler. Yep, it’s pretty simple in here: everything is vegan and gluten free. So, eat and drink as you please! Score.
Why only 4 stars? Well… it’s a vegan joint, and 9 times out of 10, that means there aren’t enough people to staff the demand. It’s ok, though, because if you’re going in there for the vegan, gluten-​free goodness, you know you’re willing to wait. If you’re stopping by because you’re just curious… maybe just grab something from the cooler/​refrigerated case. That’s another cause for just 4 stars — the food is mostly pre-​made. That means if you arrive towards the end of the day, the choices available are significantly depleted from the start of the day. If you are armed with this knowledge, though, you’ll be fine.
I love that they have a menu that reflects the season and available ingredients. I love that there is cold brew. I love that there is plenty of seating. I love the organic ingredients. I love the flavor combinations. I love the «desserts in a cup» — dreamy creamy creations that are pretty divine… as long as you don’t think about the calories.
The choice of nut milk makes for rich beverages. I prefer more coffee to nut milk, but it’s still quite unique to have brazil nut milk. There are lovely juices and smoothies available, but as others have noted, beware that your eyes are not the size of the refrigerator… because it will cost you a very pretty penny.
The sandwiches seem like a good idea, but, I always shy away from sandwiches because there is so much bread compared to the good stuff: the filling. This is the same for P S & Co. I feel that you’d be happier ordering an entrée or salad rather than ordering a sandwich with 90% of what you’er eating as bread… good flavors, but, not the most amazing choice.
I also wonder why they aren’t more supportive of marking and having raw options. Salads are good, but the price is high, and, they have components that are not raw.
The prices are high, yes, especially in comparison to the portion size. Based on the size of the delectable food items you order, I feel that this place is a happy lunch location, but if on a hunger-​induced scavenger hunt for a substantial dinner, I would steer away from this place.
I will be back– the dessert in a cup that they make is worth it.

I came here with my fiancé while we were vacationing in Philly. The staff member was happy to answer any questions we had about ingredients in menu items. I had the mac&cheese heated up. It didn’t really taste like mac&cheese, it tasted more like mac in a really good cream sauce and was very satisfying. I just wish the portion was larger. My fiancé got the mohinga soup. I had some of it. It was very flavorful and savory without being spicy. The rice noodles worked with the broth perfectly. I can only imagine how much more satisfying it’d be to have for breakfast on a cold winter morning. The only downsides are that they’re kind of pricey for their portion sizes, and that they aren’t in NYC. Actually I changed my mind, if they were in NYC I’d probably blow more money than I should on P. S. & Co. I’d love to go back.

Over the past year Ps & co has become my favorite restaurant in Philly! Those are strong words — but I back them up!
Hands down my most favorite place to eat.
Some tips to enhance your experience:
1) order the black and white OR tiramisu tart — your mind will be blown by their flavors and richness
2) get everything heated. Like everything. They will heat up any roll, salad, noodle dish– and believe me — that is everything!!! The kale salads break down a Little in the pan making them beyond amazing. All the flavors meld together! Even in the summer — every dish, when heated, goes from delicious to the most amazing thing you’ve ever eaten. Trust me!
3) if you’re into high vibrational foods — this is the place. Everything here is made with love.
*** also the Silk Road fixed price dinner is something you should not miss. Go make a reservation now, you will NOT be disappointed.
My only wish is that I could afford to eat here 3x a day. This place is my optimal restaurant — and I wish I could afford their meal plan and make this the only place I eat, ever.

This is the perfect place to grab a delicious dessert made from natural, high-​quality ingredients. Not too fancy — just simple, organic, and tasty.
If you live and breathe chocolate like I do, I highly recommend the Elvis Tart. It consists of the silkiest and tastiest whipped chocolate ganache you’ll find in this town. (I’m amazed the consistency is even possible without use of cream.) It is topped with what seems to be a layer of house-​made peanut butter, and contains refreshing slices of banana near the bottom, underlaid by a layer of chocolate crumbs. Although I’m not a peanut butter fan, I still really enjoyed this dessert. I hope they make a variation of this dessert with a topping other than peanut butter at some point. Also, it’s a curious choice of name, since it’s not really a tart, but rather a cup — not dissimilar in form to Barbuzzo’s salted caramel budino jar.
I have also tried the lemon-​flavored coconut macaroon. (Free, with Unilocal check-​in!) Although it is small in size, it is packed with lemon flavor and coconut fiber. The lime avocado «tart» is also really good, though again, it’s more like a lime-​accented avocado pudding than a tart.
Although I’ve only tried desserts, they also offer a variety of healthy, vegan and gluten-​free lunch options, such as salads and wraps, which I will have to try. The prices are a bit high, but considering the alternatives in this neighborhood — especially for lunch within walking distance of the office — I’m willing to pay a few extra dollars for something more nutritious. Frequent customers also get the option to choose from several «meal plans,» which can help save some money while promoting healthier dining.
The establishment looks rustic and charming, and going in feels like entering a completely separate world from the Rittenhouse area. It is definitely a great addition to the neighborhood.

I wanted to give PS & Co five stars.
For months I’ve been admiring the shops Instagram account and drooling over the beautiful dishes they create, and the thoughtful and clean ingredients they use.
My rating is based on a combination of factors.
The pros:
The space while not large, is lovely. In another incarnation it would make a lovely coffee or tea shop filled with cozy banquets allowing people to languish over books and laze about sipping a beverage and chatting with friends.
This space isn’t quite as warm and cozy as is.
But lovely.
The food is thoughtful. You can tell the person creating each dish put love jnto it.
It’s healthy stuff. Nothing you get here is unhealthy.
The cons:
I felt unwelcome.
There is something to be said for a smile when you walk into an store. I’ve said it in other reviews– but not getting better a warm greeting when walking into a shop makes a huge difference. I will immediately become disenchanted if my experience in a shop made me feel rushed, unappreciated (hey small businesses– where’s the love?) and feel like the staff wants to roll their eyes at me.
Just smile dude.
I didn’t feel like premade juices should cost what they’re charging.
It seems wasteful. Also, what if people don’t want the combinations that have been stocked?
The fridge in the back where the juices are kept don’t have great lighting, and seeing all the juices with the settled pulp is unappealing.
My spring roll was tasty, and wasn’t overpriced– but alas, I can make it better for the cost of the one that I bought.
This isn’t a bad place to check out. Definitely great for those who have dietary restrictions.

Wonderful place. We were greeted the the very friendly people at the counter who were overjoyed to hear that it was our first time stopping in. They happily told us about the restaurant and we were sorry that we had just eaten. We got two coffee drinks with Brazil nut mil and one of the vegan tarts.
We can’t wait to go back. All of the prepared food looked amazing, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was gorgeous.

Amazing #glutenfree #vegan food in downtown #Philly
#coldpress juice, Kale salads, & amazing desserts

This place is so gorgeous!!! I stopped in for a quick morning bite, and was taken away with its airy and charming aesthetic. The dessert case is packed with what looks to be raw sweets. You know, the flat dehydrated cookies and balls of macaroons? A little different looking from cookies you’re used to seeing. Whether they’re actually raw or just vegan/​gluten-​free, I’m not sure, but that’s the best way I could describe them.
The guy behind the counter hooked me up with coffee with homemade Brazil nut milk, and a chocolate banana bread slice that was to die for. So moist and chocolatey, it paired perfectly with my morning coffee. He said they make their own flours using the leftover pulp from their nut milks, and it was truly something else. I’d go back just for that.
There was some sticker shock at the register. $ 10 for a small piece of banana bread and a cup of coffee?! Eesh! I respect that food like this takes a lot of love and quality ingredients, but that’s crazy. Next time I’ll skip the coffee and go straight for the banana bread, or maybe a smoothie.
I do love treats that nourish both your body and soul, and that seems to be what PS excels at. My treat left me satisfied and happy, without a shred of regret.
And that, folks, is 100 reviews for 2014!!!
