Coffee Culture Catching on in Roxborough

Coffee addicts are a rare breed among fiends. Instead of moving on to harder substances our habit tends to become snobbier and more pretentious. In the beginning instant coffee is perfectly acceptable, but before long we find ourselves asking the waitress at the diner how fresh the pot on the burner is and buying stylish bags of whole bean French roast rather than the efficient red cans of Folgers that were once a staple of our shopping lists.
While it seems as though every corner in center city Philadelphia offers to cure the urgent need for venti-caramel-macchiatos and doppio-skinny-mochachinos, until recently Roxborough has been left in need of places to score a quick and easy coffee fix.
