Learn more about our history

Old City Coffee, Inc. was founded in 1984 as a one-person operation, by Ruth Isaac. The original location at 221 Church Street in Philadelphia offered freshly-roasted, Arabian coffee beans, brewed coffee, espresso drinks and brewing accessories. Old City Coffee’s original mission to supply the public with the freshest, highest-grade coffees, combined with excellent service and competitive pricing has not changed since the store’s opening. This simple but successful formula has been the framework for our continued growth.
