Volo Coffeehouse

I stopped at this place randomly just looking for cafe style food near me on Google. I was a little hesitant to stop here because I know how parking can be on Main Street. That’s literally the only issue I would ever have for this place. I found a spot right out front when I went, although it was midday, so I’m not sure about weekends or later. The staff was so friendly! They talked to me the entire time I waited for my food and they were so warm and made me feel like I was talking to people I’ve known for a long time. I ordered a latte and it was the best tasting and most beautiful latte I’ve had, and I was a barista at one time in my life. The latte came out very quickly. I ordered the volo toast to eat and oh my was that delicious! You think it’ll just be a small snack like some other food stops but it’s actually a decent amount of food on a large piece of bread, and was also put together beautifully. The atmosphere is relaxing and quaint, and the entire front is windows so you can enjoy looking outside while you sit. There are plenty of tables to sit on a laptop and just enjoy your time there while you work or study. I believe I saw a sign leading upstairs as well, which may hold even more seating. I highly recommend giving this place a shot!

An awesome place - outdoor and indoor seating. They have an upstairs where I’ve noticed it is pretty quiet, if you’re into that! So it’s a great place to drink good coffee, and get work done or socialize with friends. Also, the food is surprisingly superb. I’ve tried both the Turkey and Chicken paninis and love them both. The workers are also lovely :)

I cannot explain the hold this coffee has on my life. I wake up thinking about their lattes. I’ve tried many forms of coffee, but nothing is like Volo. Strong, flavorful, not bitter. Ice lattes, hot lattes, black eye… oh my. Not only is their coffee my favorite, but the atmosphere is unmatched. The way the coffee is served to you across the high top bar with a little spoon and saucer is just 👌🏼 magic.. I feel like I’m in an old European cafe. The friendly baristas. The eclectic decor. The outdoor bistro seating. The quiet upstairs working space. I’M OBSESSED.

Manayunk is the one place in Philadelphia that gives me good feelings. I believe that this place closes a little too early, though, like most places in this area. The coffee was great and welcome in this cold weather. The architecture was great, yet the interior design needs some work. Otherwise, the coffee was great, and the service was professional and worthy of a tip. I intend to return if I ever need some coffee in the area.
