Elixr Coffee Roasters opened in 2010 with a specific focus: sourcing, roasting, and brewing lighter-roasted, single-origin coffees. The Rittenhouse Square cafe sits down a small alley off Walnut Street, its wood-and-steel interior drawing notice from outlets covering the city's coffee scene.
The Rittenhouse location is one of several Elixr runs across Philadelphia, alongside a wholesale operation supplying coffee throughout the region. Current staff picks include the La Violeta from Colombia, a ceremonial-grade matcha, and the Lunar Lander espresso.
Regulars point to the quality of the beans, baristas who are both skilled and approachable, and a pastry case that holds up alongside the drinks — with execution that stays consistent cup to cup.
Elixr was named a StarChefs Rising Star in Philadelphia in 2019.
