A West Philly standby. People love the "bike shop" bagel or wrap, the killer black bean wrap and the vegan desserts. Baristas can be surly, the wait can be long, and co-patrons tend to be young punks or middle-aged hippies. It's pretty great.

Local, interesting flavors, worth a stop. Also, google it and watch their weird ad. It doesn't seem like that ad would sell ice cream, but it's also hard to forget.
