ReAnimator Coffee

ReAnimator's Fishtown shop sits at the corner of Frankford and Susquehanna, what locals call the forks, where five streets meet at sharp angles. The cafe opened in 2013 as the brand's first storefront, three years after the roastery launched. Today the roastery operates out of an old elevator factory in South Kensington, with the Fishtown shop serving as the original neighborhood location. Single origins rotate every couple of weeks. Espresso is dialed for clarity. The pour-over bar is the move at this location. Cold brew sits on tap year round. On weekend mornings the room fills with Fishtown regulars on bikes and visitors walking up from Frankford Avenue's design strip. Order the pour-over if you came to taste what ReAnimator is roasting now. Order the cold brew if you want what locals order without thinking.
