Really cute place! It's small and can get crowded easily but there's a park across the street to sit at if you just want to hang out or it's near the Italian Market which you can walk around. Got the cinnamon toast crunch latte iced and it was absolutely delightful! There were a ton of pastry options I would love to try next time like bronuts and cinnamon rollsThe staff were super friendly as well, overall a wonderful experience despite the excessive heat outside
What an amazing place. Truly friendly baristas, amazing and creative coffee drinks, and tasty pastries combine for a great experience. When I've gone, the staff has been very helpful and quick with recommendations. I'd recommend the croissant, especially if you like sourdough.
Absolute gem!! In a bustling city, coming across coffee shop with great service, incredible bites and even better coffee is a must! Be sure to try the cinnamon roll! You will not be disappointed!
Such a wonderful little coffee shop! The menu has a great selection and the sourdough cinnamon bun had the tastiest frosting. There are a few seats inside and outside. My boyfriend also enjoyed the oat bar. The cinnamon buns are not heated up (but still tasted good cold).
Great neighborhood coffee shop. Excellent coffees, teas and snacks. Love the vibe. If there is no room to eat, walk across to the park and enjoy the bocce court game!
Function Coffee is one of our favorite cafes in the city, so much so that we remembered it from 5 years ago. When we came back it still lived up to expectations.Order: Two Pour Overs, Toasted Coconut Mocha (latte), and Espresso BunAbout: $22Review: When my wife and I knew we were headed back to Philly we immediately started trying to figure out what that coffee shop was that blew us away like 5 years ago. Turns out it was Function, and upon our return they were just as good as we remembered.They are truly coffee experts. They can talk all about their different pour overs and beans, they make all their syrups in house, they pastries are all freshly made by a local baker, and they are constantly experimenting with something new.While the parking isn’t easy (it never is in Philly) it’s still well worth it to come here. Not only is it probably our favorite cafe in Philly, it’s in our list of favorite cafes ever. I’d highly recommend a visit to Function if you have time.Update: I previously said that they didn't have seating due to COVID but this isn't accurate. I'm not sure how I missed this, or if I just thought it wasn't at option but the own replied and said that they do currently have seating so I've updated the review.
This place freaking rocks!! Great drip coffee, but it’s all about the pastries !! This morning I had the beet and goat cheese danish. Great sourdough flavor in the pastry itself and the filling was delish. I’ve also tried the butternut squash danish and the rye chocolate chip cookie. Both were excellent.Also they’re always really nice in there!I am a substitute teacher and work at a lot of schools around Philly, and sometimes I’ll take jobs in the area just so I can go to function on my break!!!
Worth the trip! I've been wanting to try for a while, but don't live in the area. My cortado and savory danish were definitely worth the trip. Espresso was very smooth with a little bit of sweetness. And the sourdough adds a bit of a twist to the spinach and artichoke Danish. Will definitely be going back for croissants and barista specials (I regret not trying the French Toast latte, but a cortado is my standard to try at coffee shops).
Killer croissants and sourdough bread. Welcoming employees. Comfortable atmosphere, even when they’re busy. Right across the street from a cute park to sit & sip coffee.
Highly recommend, one of my favorite coffee places in Philly. I reallllyyy like all the different options and flavors, I got an iced gingerbread latte and it absolutely slapped.
