I absolutely love Coffee Cream & Dreams! What a delightful establishment. Excellent coffee, warm inviting atmosphere and the best service. I can't recommend this place enough and I would have rated it 6 stars if I could.

I'm going to go ahead and say that this is the best coffee shop in Philadelphia. I will qualify that with the fact that it's the only one I went to but after coming here I didn't desire to go anywhere else! Food? Delicious. Staff? Friendly and kind. Atmosphere? Cozy! Coffee? 😘 👌 10/10 enjoyed every breakfast here for four days straight before walking on to the convention center right up the road. Ty for taking care of us! 😍

Really nice coffee spot! Drink options were varied and tasty (got the iced coffee), and it was great to see some sweet and savory food choices. We tried out the zucchini bread which was good, and the bagel breakfast sandwich was delicious. Would definitely return next time I'm nearby.

Lovely place to get a coffee (I loved the decoration and plants 🪴). The staff was very kind! The coffee was pretty strong but delicious. We liked our egg and cheese croissants okay, but they were a little tiny for $7. The other pastries looked yummy.

The ambiance of this coffee shop is warm and inviting—perfect for a solo moment of peace or a casual meetup. The design is cozy without trying too hard, and there’s a thoughtful calm to the space that makes you want to stay a little longer. Customer service was exceptional—genuine smiles and a real effort to make you feel welcomed, not rushed. And the central location makes it an easy stop, whether you’re on your way to work or just wandering downtown. Definitely one of those places that feels like a neighborhood gem. Highly recommend for the vibes alone—and the coffee doesn’t disappoint either.

Woman and Black owned coffee shop. Owners are lovely. Each cup of coffee or tea has an affirmation written on it. Lovely touch. I sat with a fellow business owner to do administrative work. Noise level is appropriate. Free wifi offered. Atmosphere is welcome. Look forward to visiting again.

Lived nearby for years and always have heard great things about this place. So, once morning when I was in the mood to treat myself, I decided to stop in. It is pretty spacious in there with a few people sitting inside but not overly crowded. Staff had beautiful, welcoming energy greeting me with a warm "Good morning" and smiles as I walked in. I kept it simple with a chai tea latte and muffin to-go. Took a few minutes to make and they brought it over to where I was sitting. Looking forward to coming here again and also checking is the downstairs area either for coworking or for a meeting/small event.

This morning I just happened past to get a breakfast sandwich for my mother in law and I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by two happy faces and an atmosphere I was familiar with even though this was my first time there. The place is a whole vibe 👍🏽. My coffe on point, my sandwich and cinnamon roll perfect, I'm definitely coming back and I'm not even a coffee drinker but I am a man who appreciates pleasant greetings and good food. In these trying times Coffee Cream and Dreams made my morning without even trying, thanx ladies I'll be back.
