Great coffee and food. It was a very cute place I accidentally stumbled upon and I'm happy I did! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere! I would recommend the veggie hummus sandwich.
The Gryphon is my go-to coffee and tea shop. Everything they make is delicious and high quality. They also offer a variety of gluten free granola bars and snacks which is awesome. Lastly, I want to highlight the consistent, incredible service here. Everyone that works here is so friendly; but beyond that, it is the only coffee shop I’ve been to that always acknowledges my child and makes him a complimentary small cup of steamed milk. It is a small gesture, but goes a long way. It keeps me coming back time and time again as it truly makes my experience. In my opinion, this is the best coffee shop in West Chester.
Loved this wonderful little, clean, cafe. The ladies who work there couldn't be nicer and more professional. The egg sandwich was perfect, I love the 7 grain bread. The avocado toast was delicious. I loved the tea service with the tea press. Such a nice touch. Also the chai latte was served in a giant mug and it was yummy. Can't wait to go back.
What an amazing coffee house!! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is super friendly and personable, and they made my iced mint tea to perfection. They have gorgeous artwork on the walls (and it's for sale!!), while there's soothing hip music playing throughout the cafe. I love the sounds of coffee being made, too. And my fav thing about this place is the propagation station at the front. What an awesome thing! We need more plants in the world!! Lots of people doing work on their laptops or enjoying a good book.
I enjoyed my quick stop into the cafe on a snowy day! The gingerbread latte with oat milk was great (vegan) and they also had a vegan scone and coffee cake! So I was pleasantly surprised with the vegan pastries. Everything was yummy and the staff were wonderful. I didn’t look over the food menu, so I can’t comment there. But I’ll definitely be back :)
Friendly staff and good lattes. Always one of my go to spots in West Chester! Seating can be hard to find sometimes because it is a small cafe.
The BEST Americano! They pour the hot water first and pull the espresso second,so you get to enjoy the beautiful crema! (And their house-roasted coffee gives a beautiful crema) Plus, the espresso-to-water ratio (an 8 ounce Americano has two shots of espresso) results in pure velvety magic. I add a few drips of half & half. Order it “for here” to enjoy the luscious dream in a ceramic cup.
I don’t know what their secret is, but they have the best cappuccino I’ve ever had. Incredibly smooth, with an intense (in a good way), multidimensional flavor profile, plus a dreamy, airy froth that holds up over time without going flat. Plus the people who work there are genuinely nice without coffee house affectation. They have me coming back again and again.
