Since 1985!
Old City Coffee, Inc. was founded by Ruth Isaac in 1985 as a one-person operation. The original location at 221 Church Street in Philadelphia offered freshly-roasted, Arabica beans, brewed coffee, espresso drinks and brewing accessories. Our original mission to supply the public with freshly roasted high-grade coffees, combined with excellent service and competitive pricing, has not changed. This simple but successful formula has been the framework for our continued growth.
Still Roasting Tiny Batches
Our history may be big, but we're still proudly local and roasting tiny batches in the heart of Philadelphia.
Let us cater your next event
We’ve been serving micro-roasted, 100% Arabica coffee at special events since 1985. We are passionate about our coffee and its ability to elevate any event.
