“ Yum, really enjoy Milkcrate for breakfast and their chai latte...I dream about it. Great overall vibes inside, ample seating for eating, working, whatever your heart desires, and they have a couple tables outside for those of us with doggos. Their chorizo tacos are awesome and we also really enjoyed the chicken cheesesteak. The BLT was pretty good - a solid, normal, BLT with nice big slices of bacon. I also got another sandwich pictured but forgot what it was called - was pretty tasty but the chicken was a teeny bit dry. Definitely recommend coming here for breakfast. And please get the chai latte. ”
“ Really cool place! Food and coffee were good and service was great! ”
“ Such a cool spot!!!! A record store and cafe is such a genius combination. Great food and drinks and amazing record selections. All the staff here have good vibes. Super badass vintage ads and posters framed on display everywhere which was a plus for me. I really like the Avocado Toast Malone and the matcha latte. I walked away with the new Perfume Genius record and my brother got a few albums as well. Very decently priced. We'll definitely go again whenever we're in the area!! Much love ”

“ Visited Philly for the weekend and I'm so happy I found this place. Walking in, there's a wall of new and classic vinyls for sale. Grabbing my iced coffee, I started browsing the wall when the owner came up to me and mentioned "There's more records located down stairs." How cool! A cafe with a record shop. I came back the next day for breakfast and bought three records. Give them a visit! ”
“ Delicious food for reasonable prices! It's a cozy coffee shop and restaurant upstairs with a great selection of vinyl, CDs, and cassette tapes downstairs all meticulously categorized and graded based on condition. If you're looking for cool vibes with good food and coffee then look no further. ”
