In Philly, near Chinatown, in the early 1990s, there was a coffee bar and cafe that featured a line-up of siphons and to-die-for coffee. They also served decent pan Asian food, but the real appeal was the desert and coffee menu (if I recall, standard cups of coffee started at like $4 or $5 and went up from there). The joint was Ray's Coffee Shop, and i think it opened in 1990 or 1991. I have no idea if it's still there or how long it lasted after I left Philly in 1993. Ahhh, to have a cup of Ray's coffee now ...
