YO! Coffee Drive Thru is a dream that grew out of more than 20 years pursuing the love of food and a need to share the discoveries that come along with cooking and experimentation. YO! Coffee's founder, Philly Phoodie (@phillyphoodie), has spent nearly all of his adult life seeking out new and exciting sandwich shops, cafes, restaurants, and coffee shops so that he could share his experiences with the public. As an aspiring food writer, he founded phillyphoodie.com in 2007 as a way to blog about mom-n-pop food-centered shops in the Philadelphia region, and beyond. For ten years, he and his wife photographed and wrote about food from all over the region, and throughout their national / international travels. Then the popularity of social media soared and Instagram became a more robust and more accessible platform to share the Philly Phoodie food/drink stories with the world. The
phillyphoodie.net blog was maintained and it still lives on today as a record of Philly Phoodie's food & drink explorations.
But it wasn't just about eating other people's food, of course! Together, the founders are avid entertainers who love to cook for friends and family as often as possible. They've competed in and placed/won numerous Philadelphia food competitions including categories such as BBQ/chili/tacos/hot dogs etc.
After spending time out West, they discovered the allure of drive-thru coffee kiosks. Their dream was to bring the concept to DelCo by finding a parking lot that might be suitable for a custom kiosk build-out with no luck. Miraculously, they stumbled upon the listing for the old Swiss Farms location on Providence Road, the perfect combination of drive-thru capability and uniquely eccentric/funky personality!
With a goal of providing exceptional-quality coffee (locally roasted) that's prepared by an energetic team of coffee-loving baristas, YO! Coffee is a convenient one-stop shop for all your morning get-up-and-go needs. It’s not just our coffee, it’s YO’s to enjoy!
