We Roast in Tiny Batches!

The cafe on a nice day

We are a one hundred per cent Philadelphia-metro operated business with dedicated, knowledgeable staff here to help you choose varieties, roasts, and brewing techniques. We roast only choice Arabica high grown coffee. We buy smartly so that you can drink well; our prices are among the lowest because we avoid the steps of using a commercial roaster and wholesaler. Our coffee is guaranteed to be the freshest available because we roast tiny batches. Phone calls and e-mails are welcome for orders, questions, and comments. Your order will be roasted and shipped within forty-eight hours, assuring freshness only available from this source.

Apply to work for Philadelphia's veteran specialty coffee roaster and retailer. This position, at our Old City location, is part time leading to approximately 32 hours in the fall. The position also includes paid breaks and a direct deposit program. http://www.oldcitycoffee.com/employment-opportunities
