Reply to comment by 0716718227 in Vibrant cafe is now in 30th Street Station! by justneedausernamepls

Thank you! To you and u/SomePaddy above re: pricing - the management company that runs the station for Amtrak charges us "rent" as a percentage of sales which actually makes it work out to about twice the rent we pay in Rittenhouse (as crazy as that sounds) - that is why everything in the station is expensive. Our prices in the station are a little higher than the Rittenhouse location because of this. It's like airport pricing, only not quite as extreme.

Thanks for the explanation and like I said, I’d be broke because I’d buy a latte every day, not because you’re trying to get one over on anyone! Best of luck with the new spot

Went this morning and enjoyed a mocha from y'all for the first time. For someone who commutes back and forth from DC a lot, it still seemed pretty reasonably priced to me. I honestly loved it - I'll probably visit the Rittenhouse square location in the next few days and see about picking up some beans (and if y'all sell it some of your chocolate sauce) to make some at home when I'm not traveling. Cheers!

Well that is nice to hear! Chocolate sauce is not for sale unfortunately but if it isn't busy feel free to ask the baristas for the recipe - it is super simple to make, just cocoa powder, sugar, and water.
