If you're in the city, try a cup of coffee at Rival Brothers coffee shop. The shop is located on Spruce Street and features high ceilings and pillars. The interior is decorated with dark leather booths and painted walls. The coffee is top-notch, and the small food menu has excellent choices. The pastries are fresh and local, and the staff is friendly.
The coffee at Rival Bros. Coffee is served in a mobile espresso truck. The owners, Jonathan Adams and Damien Pileggi, roast all of their own beans and work on the truck themselves. They sell their self-roasted coffee by the 12-ounce bag. The coffee is excellent, and they have a Twitter page. They are typically available at 33rd and Arch between the hours of 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. If you want to take a break from your hectic schedule, this is the place to go.
