So do we. Let\u2019s be friends. <a href=\"https:\/\/billypenn.com\/newsletter-signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up for the Billy Penn newsletter today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vibrant Coffee Roasters co-owner Ross Nickerson considers his backstory \u201cunusual.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He started off studying mechanical engineering in college and moved on to teach physics in England.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the while, he began to find a knack for coffee. But, he didn\u2019t start getting interested until his mid-20s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m the type of person where when I get interested in something, I\u2019m like 110%,\u201d he said. \u201cI need to know everything about it. I need to buy all the gadgets. I need to master the thing. And I knew that if I started drinking coffee, I was going to love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once he drank his first cup, he was entranced. He bought an espresso machine and began making his own batches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After moving to Philly with his wife,\u00a0 Nickerson met his business partner, Matthew Adams, at a popup market in the city. Adams owns Backyard Beans Coffee Company, a coffee roasting business based in the suburbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nickerson started roasting in 2018, and from there, Vibrant Coffee Roasters was born.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The store now has three locations \u2013 the brick-and-mortar in Rittenhouse, another cafe on 6th and Lombard and one upcoming on Broad Street between Chestnut and Sansom streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe focus a lot on the quality of just the coffee itself,\u201d Nickerson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nickerson said he is proud of where the store is today. And, he said the city is full of lots of great coffee resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are so many good shops here, especially those that are small, independently owned,\u201d he said. \u201cJust go and talk to baristas. Be like, \u2018hey, I\u2019m really into coffee. I\u2019m from out of town, or I\u2019m from in town. I just got into coffee. I don\u2019t know anything about it. Where else should I go? What should I get?\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philly is a city where you can find a coffee shop around almost every corner.

The store operates off of the Vietnamese expression \u2013 \u201c\u0111i u\u1ed1ng c\u00e0 ph\u00ea,\u201d meaning \u201clet\u2019s get coffee,\u201d a phrase that signifies connection and community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shop also partners with 12 Plus, a Philly nonprofit aimed at increasing education equity.

Co-owners Chaereen Pak and Sawyer Beckley worked in the Philly coffee scene before deciding to create the business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPersimmon, the name, is based on the persimmon fruit. The reason why we chose it is that persimmons are actually an Asian fruit native to China,\u201d Chareen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a fruit that if someone with an Asian background sees the name, they will actually instantly know that this brand must be owned by someone who\u2019s Asian, and on the flip side, someone who sees it and doesn\u2019t know what it is, it\u2019s a name that is unique on its own, and so hopefully sparks some curiosity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pak is Korean-American, and she said Persimmon aims to bring unique, Asian culture to the city while also connecting to local communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been to Korea, Seoul, Japan, and cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, and I saw a lot of coffee shops there that were really small because they\u2019re densely packed cities, and I was always amazed by just all that they were able to do with such tight spaces, and I think what I had thought was, \u2018oh man, I haven\u2019t really seen shops like that in Philly,\u2019\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Persimmon operated as an online store with occasional pop-ups when it started in 2020. Its brick-and-mortar location opened in Fishtown in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beckley said store employees have continued to prioritize the surrounding community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt will always be people first and coffee second, above anything else,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this is why we\u2019ve also been very careful in taking our time before expanding, so making sure that we create a comfortable, safe, loving, and welcoming environment is very paramount for us. And that means being able to make sure we have the right people in the shop, whether it\u2019s me or one of the two lovely people who work at the shop, are in the space and have the same mindset we do of caring for the community.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beckley said this also includes connecting with and providing a space for people without housing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSomething that all of us who work in the shop share is a belief that being in a community also means caring for the most vulnerable members of the community, and whenever we\u2019re able, we\u2019ve built up pretty good relationship with a lot of people in that situation, welcome them in with a coffee every day, let them charge their things as they need, and try to show them as much humanity and compassion as we\u2019re able,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of offerings, Pak said the shop tries to be intentional and unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe offer specialty drinks,\u201d she said. \u201cDuring the fall, we have a latte that actually includes house-made persimmon syrup, and we have a winter drink that incorporates yizu, which is also another Asian ingredient, and so we\u2019re very intentional about those cultural ingredients.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe roast coffees from different origins, spanning origins from Colombia or Ethiopia, or a lot of different coffees, but we actually intentionally name each one, so that each one can have a more distinct presence, and so we actually borrow Korean and Japanese words, to name each of our coffee offerings as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can visit Persimmon on 11 W Girard Avenue. On weekdays, they\u2019re open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on weekends, they\u2019re open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brown Street Coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brownstreetcoffee.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This cafe <\/a>is a great mix of specialty coffee and breakfast along with Vietnamese sandwiches and b\u00e1nh m\u00ec.

The Northern Liberties location offers coffee roasting, a retail cafe and baking production \u2013 all under one roof.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Northern Liberties location is across from Liberty Lands Park \u2013 so you can grab your matcha, americano or smashed chickpea sandwich to go while you stroll around. If it\u2019s not as nice a day out or you\u2019d prefer indoor seating, the cafe offers an extensive seating space indoors. <a href=\"https:\/\/sprudge.com\/build-outs-of-coffee-menagerie-coffee-in-philadelphia-pa-245023.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">You can sit on one<\/a> of its sofas, barstools or tables throughout the store.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menageriecoffee.com\/about\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The store\u2019s <\/a>Old City location is on 18 S. 3rd Street and its Northern Liberties location is on 908 N. 3rd Street. The shops are open Monday-Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edna Cruz and Michael Caro opened Nook over twenty years ago. Michael had worked in corporate America for years, but had always wanted to start a small business. That\u2019s when Michael met Edna, who had almost 17 years of experience managing small businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edna, who lived in San Francisco at the time, dated Michael long-distance for a year before joining him in Philly. That\u2019s when the two decided to open Nook.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEdna was going to start it and if it was going well enough, I would leave my corporate job, and I would be working the shop with her,\u201d Caro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut as fate had it, there was some downsizing at our company, so myself and various other folks from the company were let go, and so it looked like the timing was or fate was kind of pushing us towards both being there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decades later, Nook is still going strong. If you walk into their Center City shop, you\u2019ll find a variety of drinks and food options. And they bake and roast all of their offerings in-house.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverything is in small batches, so everything is high-quality ingredients,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cWe don\u2019t use any preservatives. Everything is natural, and everything is low sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edna handles the baking, while Michael oversees the coffee and roasting. The pair is hard at work most days behind the counter of their own shop \u2013 and both say they don\u2019t get out to other shops in the area as much as they would like. But, they say that they are inspired by the growth in Philly\u2019s coffee scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe coffee scene in Philly is vibrant, and it seems to be growing, and a few seem to pop up every year. The hard part is keeping it going, and that\u2019s the challenge, but I think there\u2019s no shortage of great coffee shops here in Philly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can visit Nook at 15 S 20th Street. They are open Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. They are closed on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tu Riconcito<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This coffee and matcha shop is actually a Mexican restaurant \u2013 meaning you can get your caffeine and your food fix in the same spot!
