Thunder Mug Cafe

$50 for two coffees and 2 bagel sandwiches is insane. I almost thought I didn’t hear that correctly when he told me the price. Additionally, the coffee was very mid. It tasted of just milk and no coffee. The bagel sandwiches were amazing though! Service on the other hand was not great. I ordered a 1... Read more

$50 for two coffees and 2 bagel sandwiches is insane. I almost thought I didn’t hear that correctly when he told me the price. Additionally, the coffee was very mid. It tasted of just milk and no coffee. The bagel sandwiches were amazing though! Service on the other hand was not great. I ordered a 16oz iced PSL with oat milk and my partner wanted the larger size. The barista grabbed two of the same size cups and I clarified that my bf wanted a large and the barista snapped and said “only the same size”. I apologized and said ok. That was the only thing he said to us the entire transaction. I felt like I was inconveniencing him. I don’t think I would ever return. Show less

The food & drinks were good. I may have to try something else that makes me say I loved it. It was cold & rainy outside, so coming into the seating area and the air conditioner blowing right at the tables was distracting. The art on the walls is awesome, as is the vintage seating.

Wonderful cafe. It has everything you can want from a cafe. It has nearly every drink option you could want, they support local artists and you can buy art there, plenty of room to sit and work, a community board to show stuff going on in the community, great pastries and a very friendly staff.

Great cafe and wonderful staff -- I haven't been here before and asked for a drink recommendation, the barista created a drink based on flavors that I typically enjoy and it was really good! He made sure that I liked the drink as well. Great seating for studying or catching up with friends. I can see their community outreach efforts through the events they host regularly through game nights or cupcake decorating. Parking can be difficult around the area depending on the time of day. Would recommend! Show less

Outstanding across the board. Thunder Mug knows it all starts with the quality of the coffee. Add to that the quality pastries, cheerful, friendly service, the chilled out space for work or conversation, and the public printer available, and it's hard to find a better cafe in Philly.

This is a cute and cozy coffee shop down the road from my new apartment. They are always open when I feel like I need coffee. They have some outdoor seating and a whole room for indoor seating. Some couches and chairs. I ordered the white chocolate iced pumpkin drink. It was definitely delicious!! I asked for a small, but they must only have 1 size because it was around $7.50. They have pastries as well in the display case. This time of season they also have a letters to Santa station. The barista was super nice. The only thing that was off putting was the price and the smell inside one of the days I was here. They also set up at the East Falls farmers market on Saturdays. Show less

This is for the new location in Tacony. I have tried them out on two separate occasions. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is really cozy and cute featuring art from local artist, which I love. They are also 🏳️‍🌈 friendly…BUT the coffee and pastries 😩. Both times I went I ordered iced coffees and both times they tasted like brown sugar water. I ordered a croissant and donut the first time I visited, it was shortly after they opened up for the day, the croissant tasted stale and dry, the donut was slightly better but still stale. The last time I tried a donut and it was stale again and the vanilla custard instead had hints of nutmeg, but was very bland and tasteless. It sucks to leave this review because I was so excited for them to open, but the quality of the food definitely does not match the price. For reference coffee’s I enjoy :La Colombe, Starbucks, Peet’s. Sometimes a cup of Dunkin’. I like coffee that tastes like coffee. Show less

We did an order of some coffee and pastries. I had an iced mocha, a cheese danish, and a croissant. Coffee was delicious. Nice chocolate flavor. The croissant and cheese danish had a perfect pastry. The cheese danish was a little light on the cheese, but so good! Definitely going to be coming back! Show less

I was a first time customer at the recommendation of friends who live in the area. I ordered a chai latte (cold) and unfortunately it was very disappointing.

Creative, cozy, delicious. Yesterday I had the Thai PB&J, and if it’s available when you go, I highly recommend it. It wasn’t my first time in here.
