This place is AMAZING. Now, I am definitely a Little Amps loyalist; but I always look forward to my Thursday's, because I know I'll be stopping at Elementary. The coffee is fantastic, I always get "The Sweet One", and I'm never disappointed. The people are always fantastic, super friendly, and fast. The coffee is consistently great, and I've never had a bad conversation when waiting for my coffee.

Elementary Coffee is the coffee shop in the back building of the famous Broad Street Market (one of America's oldest markets). It's a medium sized coffee stand serving espresso, drip coffee, lattes, and all other coffee products. The line is usually long (proving it's popular), but it moves fast.
The service isn't the most friendly compared to other stands in the market, but no biggie. The coffee is good and they are efficient at doing business. One cool thing they do is allow customers pay for a stranger's coffee for the day. When you walk up to the front, you'll see a small magnet board with tokens representing free coffee people purchased for you. Grab one if you're having a bad day. -

Ive read great reviews on this place so decided to give it a try during an impromptu stop at the market.
The coffee smelled amazing so I couldn't help but be tempted to order some. I actually decided on a "Sweet one" which is a cold brew with maple syrup and whole milk in it. It sounded perfect for a hades hot kind of day.
I was disappointed.
I didnt love the flavor or taste of the coffee. The coffee actually reminded me of beer thats been in bourbon barrels, or it had a sort of craft beer flavor to it. Its not what I was expecting. I couldn't taste the maple flavor at all. It was smooth drinking but something was off on the taste for me.
I would have gone back in the future and tried another coffee but the service was also lacking. When I ordered there was no greeting, just a blank stare and then not even a thank you when I picked up my drink. I seemed to be a bother (and they were not busy but it was the last hour of the day so maybe tired?). I guess I expected some friendliness but there was none which also left a sour taste in my mouth. -

Ugh, I want to like these guys but their attitude SUCKS. I live in Philly and travel to Harrisburg quite often to visit family and my first stop is to Broad Street Market. I've been to Elementary a handful of times, and I'll be frank, their attitudes suck. I understand being "cool", but lets stop chatting and give me my $6 latte in under 15 minutes. YES, you will wait 15 minutes, even if you just get a drip, while their baristas chat about who knows what.

Great little coffee spot in Broad Street Market. I arrived around 10:30 a.m. and there was no line. I ordered a "regular" coffee which was $2 for what looked like a small (I wasn't asked what size I wanted). You order at one end of the counter and pick-up at the other. They don't have, which is the only sweetener I like in my coffee--I had some in my car and was parked close so I went and got some. Service was ok, not overly friendly but not rude. There were 4 people behind the counter and they seemed rushed for some reason (at this point there was only one couple in line behind me). Walked by later and line was a lot longer! Perfect timing on my part!
