We got medium cappuccinos, blueberry pancakes, and egg and cheese bagel.
The cappuccino was good but not sure if the espresso was a big weak or if we just didn’t taste the espresso flavor in the cappuccino or if the cappuccino was made with drip coffee (I think the first option as espresso is on their menu).
The pancakes were amazing! Great blueberries, perfect done.
The egg and cheese bagel was a bit dry. A thin spread of cream cheese would make a huge difference. The egg and cheese itself were good.

I had a short stack of coconut pancakes and a antioxidant smoothie. My husband had an egg n’ cheese bagel and a cold latte. On a Sunday morning, seating outside.
Excellent choice.
We will come back!
Very kind & accommodating staff, and a delicious burrito to boot! Can't believe I hadn't visited sooner
Black N Brew was a great spot for my partner and I to grab a quick but delicious breakfast. I got cornbread and eggs with veggie chili and my partner got a standard eggs with bacon potatoes and toast. Food was great, coffee was perfect, would definitely come again.
Great Cafe with indoor/outdoor dining. Great coffee and breakfast, chill vibes. 😎
UPDATE:
I heeded Jen's generous offer to try their latte again, and they didn't disappoint. The latte was substantially better, and it's great to see this cafe strive to provide the best it can. In Philly's growing (and already crowded) cafe scene, there's no room for failure. If you also want to think outside of the box, try their draft latte - provided by La Colombe roasters.
They additionally have a rich brunch menu, I ate the paleo hash - delicious and filling, I highly recommend!
See David for your coffee, and don't be shy to start a conversation with the staff - they're super friendly and engaging. All in all, a very warm atmosphere, great attitudes, great service, great end result ... I've revised my rating (and added new photos).

This is an example of a latte gone horribly wrong. When you see bubbles like this, you know it won't taste good.
I think this is a great little coffee shop and breakfast joint here in South Philly. It is in a great location and I stop here a lot for a quick cup or a quick bite for breakfast. The food is good and the service and staff are very friendly.
