Gritty lattes for TASTE

I asked five Philly cafés to capture the Philadelphia Flyers' Gritty, America's weirdest mascot, in latte form. Featuring Reanimator, Elixr, Franny Lou's Porch, Ultimo and Menagerie. All photos by Neal Santos. Part of TASTE’s Coffee Issue, which you should definitely check out in full.

Rocket Cat Cafe In between the neighborhoods of Kensington and Fishtown is Rocket Cat Cafe, home of vegan treats, one of a kind artwork, and some of the kindest baristas. Grab a seat by one of the windows, it’s perfect for people watching on Frankford Avenue. Best of all there are couches that are meant for lounging or snuggling that make you feel right at home.

Collab with HyLo Boutiques: Philadelphia's Coffee Revival

I teamed up with the cool kids at HyLo to produce phillycoffeerevival.com, a new site that serves as a guide to the city's best specialty coffee shops.

There are plenty of excellent cafes in town, but we focused on four this time around: Bodhi, Elixr, Shot Tower and Ultimo. Each has its own distinct approach and personality and I attempted to capture that in the copy. I also consumed far more coffee than my central nervous system was able to handle during the "research" portion of this project.
