The Pharmacy (1300 S. 18th St.), newly opened at the corner of 18th and Wharton isn't selling mouthwash or aspirin, instead they're offering up coffee drinks and an all over the place cafe menu of breakfast and vegan-friendly fare. The Passyunk Post is reporting that the Point Breeze coffee shop, owned by former traveling musician Gary Viteri is named for the former tenant, a medical office.
Viteri got his hands on the property at a sheriff's sale and transformed the space into a cafe complete with a piano, overstuffed chairs and bizarro wall art via a group of local artists and plans on hosting live music beginning next month. Hours daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
