Jasani Cafe

Almost surprisingly good how great the coffee is. Jake is very friendly and informative; he spent almost 15 minutes describing the different varieties & roasts available — and also providing samples. The place doesn’t look like much, and the branding is ambiguous, but don’t let that fool you. The coffee is excellent. And he will custom roast your order for you.

I am so glad to have stumbled across this gem of South Philly. I saw the sign for free coffee, because they have two brews to sample every day.
The owner is extremes knowledgeable about coffee. You can tell he’s a real community-​driven guy trying to offer his passion and expertise to Philly. (I love these kinds of people, and if you are into tea check out Mélange at pine and 11^th for the tea version of this guy)
They have an excellent assortment of gourmet beans, and I believe he said they roast them all in the back of the shop. The prices are better than Whole Foods and the coffee is better in my opinion.
My first coffee is the Brazillian with a full city roast. I usually need milk and sugar with my coffee, but this one is excellent even without the sugar!
They also offer a choice in what kind of bag you keep your coffee in. The best is the one with the airlock contraption that lets out excess gas, which I haven’t seen anywhere else.
He told me if there was any problem, to come back and he’ll «make it right.» Not an empty promise, but a testament to his confidence in his beans. And I’ll definitely be scooping out every last ground.
So glad this place exists. New life goal: try all their coffee.

Very friendly. Very informative. And the coffee is excellent. I will be coming back here for my beans regularly.
