"Colleen DeCesare and Ragen Lowek got their start at Jazz & Java, a Philadelphia International Airport coffee shop that schooled them well in the art of high-octane hospitality. They’ve outfitted their homey corner shop with a blue-tiled mosaic coffee bar, bar stools embellished with stencil cutouts of steaming coffee cups, glass-topped tables and fresh flowers, plus a changing array of local art. Food, from the cookies to the croutons, is made in-house and the owners are on-site daily. Try the turkey burger with herb goat cheese or the pancakes with butterscotch syrup. The coffee and espresso is La Colombe; they also offer smoothies in flavors like peanut butter banana soy and TeaNy drinks. Open daily, 7 a.m.-7 p.m."
