Rival Bros Coffee Bar

Philadelphia


Sparring boxers are the logo for this well-regarded local coffee roaster that occupies an impressive space on the ground floor of a chic apartment building. Fluted columns, marble and ornate tiles provide way more ambiance than your average cafe. They're known for their nitro coffee, a creamy cold-brew pressurized with nitrogen and served on tap.

There's another branch near Fitler Sq.
