Revolution Coffee Roasters

Before getting on the PATCO to go to Philly from Collingswood, I desperately needed coffee. No lack of cafés to try here. I’ve already tried a couple. But this is my first time at Revolution Coffee Roasters

Coffee? Check. Baked goods? Check. Merchandise for sale? Check. Art on the walls? Check plus➕!

If you scroll through the pics and check out the art on the walls carefully, you will notice that in various mediums, the art is done by younger artists. I was so captivated by it I had to ask for the story behind it.

It was explained to me that a local illustrator, Lee Angerstein, teaches local art classes and Revolution not only agreed to display the student work on their walls, but hosted a gala for the unveiling of their accomplishments.

I do apologize as I regrettably did not get the gentleman’s name I was speaking with (owner/barista), but we went on to discuss how some kids just are not into sports (like mine) and would rather express themselves through different forms of art. Angerstein created this art program and Revolution supports it for this very reason. I am loving this concept and hope it gains momentum.

On another note that is probably more relevant, the coffee is absolutely delicious here! Next time I will get a bag to brew at home. There is some seating inside and some outside. Complete “café feeling” atmosphere. Check✅

A definite new stop for me. I highly recommend that you make it one of yours.
