Price Range $1–10

Coffee Apollonia is a quiet spot on Revere Street that draws in a steady flow of locals who take their coffee seriously. This cafe is best for anyone who values a straightforward, well-made espresso or a thoughtfully crafted Irish coffee, especially if you like starting your day in a calm setting without the usual rush of busier spots.

The atmosphere leans toward a no-frills, cozy vibe where regulars feel welcomed and the staff know their names. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself settling in with a cup of affogato on a slow morning or popping in for a quick pick-me-up during a low-key afternoon. There’s a subtle familiarity here, shaped partly by the steady clientele who seem to appreciate the clean, care-focused environment as much as the coffee itself.

Weekend mornings or weekday early hours appear to be prime times—when quietness matches the coffee’s kick. You’re likely to encounter folks who aren’t just stopping by for caffeine, but savoring their time, whether to break away from the grind or catch up with friends. The space sometimes attracts a diverse group, including some longtime neighborhood figures, lending it a distinctive local character that feels both rooted and unpretentious.

While the decor is simple, the real draw is the coffee — the espresso holds up well against Philly’s competitive scene, and the Irish coffee offers a smooth twist for those looking for something a little different. Service here isn’t flashy, but it’s earnest and attentive, making sure you’re looked after without fuss.

What the heck did I get myself into. I googled cafes in this part of town because I was on a Sunday morning business trip. I pull up to the cafe with two entry doors which said members only……. Hesitant, I still proceeded to enter. Unsure of what I was going to encounter I felt like Liam Neesen in the movie Taken. It was a cafe filled with Eastern Europeans from middle age to elderly men mostly smoking cigars and cigarettes, mind you it’s 830am Sunday morning. I walked over to the cafe and asked for an espresso to go. Great coffee and great environment. This has to be the coolest cafe I have ever visited, I wish I got the gentleman’s name who pulled my shot he was really nice. Not sure if I was allowed to enter or not, hopefully I can come back and have a conversation along with another espresso.

I love coffee I think about coffee everyday I drink so much coffee sometimes that I stay up for a week straight I've honestly been thinking about slowing down on my coffee intake but this location coffee is so good and delicious the aroma can be smelt from miles away I secretly bring donuts in and dipp them in my I don't know what they're putting in this coffee but is very delicious if you're a coffee lover I would highly recommend you give this place a stop and try the French vanilla Colombian Brew it's extremely delicious sip slowly because you are in for one hell of a ride coffee
