Fall drinks with homemade syrups, no Monin. Who's doing it right?

Today, I’m tired of Monin and Torani. Which coffee shops are making their own syrups for fall drinks?

Drop the shop below. I'll compile everything into one list and post it back here for anyone building a menu or hunting for a good cup.

I'll start: Herman's Coffee.

When do you actually flip the switch on paid ads?

Curious what the consensus is here. I've seen brand new businesses drop huge money on ads day one. I've seen 20 year old businesses with barely a website finally start spending.

My situation: local business in Philly. GBP is ranked number one for my main searches. Website is stuck on page 2-3 no matter what I do.

Do I keep grinding on SEO, reviews, content, citations? Or is it time to just pay for the traffic while the organic side catches up?

Super Bao and Cake Girl

Tried a couple of different things. They had some cool offerings like Oreo bread or matcha pineapple bread. Everything was a bit butter/oil heavy. The egg tart was not my favorite. Great pastry exterior, the filling was a bit eggy. Experience 7.6/10

What restaurants have closed or opened near you recently? (Philly)

Feel like there’s always a “wait, X closed?” post buried somewhere here after the fact.

Figured I’d start a running thread instead, drop what you’re seeing:

📍 Neighborhood, Name, Closed/Opening, how you know (drove by, staff told you, permit posted, etc)

Also, if you know a spot that’s struggling or on its way out, worth flagging that too. Maybe we can all band together and give them a boost before they’re gone.

I’ll start:

- Olde Kensington - Manna Bakery is opening at 110 w Berks sometime soon

- Northern Liberties - don’t know what concept, but I do see a good amount of construction in the old Anejo restaurant currently
