Rally Coffee — Restaurant in Philadelphia

A criminally underrated coffee shop, especially considering the rise of many great coffee shops in Philadelphia.

Firstly, the space itself is stunningly designed. A really beautiful and thoughtful interior in a very warm neighborhood.

The bagels are from Philly Bread Co. a local business and maker of fantastic bagels. The Philly bagel scene is baren, so these are a light in the dark.

The coffee is also a sleeper. Sourced from Blind Tiger Coffee, again a smaller coffee roaster in Philadelphia, it is absolutely delicious. It was was warm and bold in an Iced Americano. Nutty with chocolate notes, almost smoky in the best way. And in an Iced Latte it was truly spectacular. The way it played with the milk gave the coffee fruity notes.

Rally will not disappoint and I look forward to finding my way back to this charming cafe on a charming...

Walked into Rally kinda on a whim and ended up posting up for like two hours. The drip coffee was way better than I expected — smooth, rich, no bitterness. I added a slice of their banana bread (looked homemade, and yeah, it tasted like it too). Interior’s that clean-but-not-sterile vibe, and the big windows make the whole space feel open. It’s also part creative studio, which sounds weird but actually works — people were editing video, sketching, just vibing. Staff was laid-back but on top of stuff. Bathroom was clean and easy to find (blessed). Honestly feels like one of those places that doesn’t try too hard but...
