“Nicest owners and beautifully decorated shop! I had a matcha affogato which was delicious. The owner also gave us a sweet dessert for free just because.”
Katie GTake out, Google reviewA 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.


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.

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.
