University City and West Philadelphia
Café
They don’t make shops like this University City mainstay anymore. Not only is it an international newsstand—there's a selection of foreign periodicals, postcards, and hip art publications—but it’s also a café, offering high-end coffee, tea, and chocolate, and an old-school smoke shop, selling specialty tobacco products. The patio seating is an added bonus—enjoy your paper and espresso with a little people-watching.
