A small garden for your coffee, on 12th Street.

Cypress Garden Coffee is a plant-filled café in Center City Philadelphia. Flavors made in-house, a Butter Cream Latte our regulars order by name, and pastries baked just outside the city.

Inside Cypress Garden Coffee
Coffee at Cypress Garden

Made here

Our coffee flavors are created in-house, so you won’t find this latte anywhere else.

Baked close by

Pastries come from a small bakery just outside Philadelphia.

Room to stay

Quiet tables, green corners, and fair prices that make a second cup easy.

Plants on every shelf, and a seat that’s yours for the afternoon.

Guests describe walking in as a small escape from the city. Light falls through the leaves, the music stays low, and conversation comes easily.

Bring a book, bring a laptop, or bring a friend. Stay for one coffee or for three.

What people come back for

A short menu, made carefully. These are the drinks and sweets guests write home about.

  • Butter Cream Latte

    House specialty

    Our signature. Smooth, rich, and built around a flavor we make ourselves.

  • Black Sesame Latte

    Nutty and toasty, never too sweet. Regulars swear by it iced with oat milk.

  • Matcha Affogato

    Matcha poured over a scoop of ice cream. Half drink, half dessert.

  • Pastries

    Baked just outside the city and delivered fresh. Ask what came in this morning.

Behind the bar is Rachela.

Rachela Leynes owns Cypress Garden and creates the café’s coffee flavors herself. Ask her what’s new and you’ll likely leave with a recommendation, and sometimes a little something sweet on the house.
