One Shot, New Spot

 I am thrilled that one of my favorite coffee shops in Philadelphia has finally relocated to their long-awaited, new spot.  Just a block away from their previous location, One Shot is now serving their tasty drinks and treats on the corner of American and George in a renovated three-story building.  One Shot may have an awesome new look to it, but the same great feel of it is still there.  I was happy to see the same familiar faces that have served me my favorite piping hot, large, non-fat, chai latte in the past, as well as hear the same great tunes blaring throughout the space. 

Unlike the previous location, the absolute best part about the new shop is the wonderful amount of space there is to work with, making it no longer necessary to cram with others onto what once were my fav worn sofas.  Two full floors are available for customers to sprawl out in a cozy, living room setting, a quaint cafe-like environment with tables for two and plenty of benches, or at the long banquette that takes up most of the length of the first floor.  Reclaimed, wall-mounted, wooden boards offer the second floor appealing texture along with, numerous bookshelves, and comfy leathers sofas and chairs.  Pendant fixtures, artwork, and beautiful textiles make up most of the space on the first floor, transforming the look and brand of One Shot entirely.   And although the style/decor/fabrics/furniture have changed a great deal, the menu still offers the great array of sandwiches and drinks it always has and then some.  New food items like poached eggs with mushroom gravy, parmesan cheese and truffle oil or veggie omelettes are now available due to the new, adequately sized, open kitchen, making One Shot more than just a place to grab a sandwich with your coffee.  Two floors with plenty of seating, a tasty menu spruced up with a few new goodies, and great company and tunes; Sunday brunch anyone?
