Nomad Office // The Monkey and the Elephant

People. This is my favorite coffee shop in Philadelphia. Truly.

It checks every box for coffee shop perfection. It has become my go-to spot in the city, and I'm excited to share it with anyone who will listen.


Here it is.

The Monkey & The Elephant // Brewerytown

2831 W. Girard Avenue, Philadelphia







First, it includes all of the things I wanted to find in a coffee shop:

• free WiFi
• tasty beverages, with the option for almond milk
• seriously delicious treats (try the fig and cheese panini -- it's incredible)
• a relaxed environment

Also, you know I love a variety of seating options. My favorite spot is at the table right by the big window, pictured above.

But sometimes I get hot/cold and want to move to a comfy chair, or on a nice day sit outside (and still get consistent WiFi).

Seriously, can we discuss this outdoor space?

More awesome than all of my coffee shop needs being perfectly met, though, is the story of this neighborhood cafe. The Monkey and the Elephant is actually a non-proft which helps former foster youth build life and work skills to transition successfully to independence and adulthood.

I'm so grateful this amazing space exists in our community.
