360 Coffeehouses Part III

Philadelphia is quickly becoming one of the premier coffee cities in the United States.  New roasters such as Rival Bros, Elixr and ReAnimator are rasing the bar and baristas are following suit.  Just a few weeks ago in the Northeast Brewers Cup six finalists competed in North Carolina, three of whom are from Philly.  Todd Carmichael,  co-founder and green buyer for La Colombe took first place and Ultimo's James Klapp came in second.  Philly local Erica Vonie came in second place in the NE Barista Championship.  This week three more 360 degree immersive coffee destinations are featured in my blog.

Jonathan Adams and Damien Pileggi started serving their in-house roasted coffee out of a truck in West Philadelphia just about a year ago.  Their first brick and mortar location opens next month.

Federal Donuts is recognized as one of the best donut shops in the US.  It is jointly owned by Tom Henneman and Bob Logue from Bodhi Coffee and Steve Cook and Michael Solomonov of Zahav Restaurant.  Currently there are two locations with two more opening in a few weeks.

I love the exterior of Bodhi Coffee!   It's part of Philadelphia's historic Headhouse Square built in 1775.

Built in 1761, St. Peter's the land was donated in 1757 by Governor Thomas and Ricard Penn, sons of William Penn. The Penn family coat of arms can be seen above the wine-glass pulpit and sounding board. George and Martha Washington were frequent parishioners.
