Formerly known to locals as the Mean Bean, the Village Coffee House is a welcoming space that offers you an expanded menu of paninis, including a Cuban and garden vegan sandwich. The interior boasts a chill hangout space where ample pillows allow for lounging on the bay window where you can watch the Center City bustle go by.
The café has a Southeast Asian theme: there are elephant heads and statuettes of Hindu gods tucked away in the corners. Regardless of the weather, sit outside in the outdoor covered garden and let the warm glow of tea lights make your evening.
