Atiya Ola's Cafe is a great place to take the family, sit in the window and read interesting things on the wall. Yeah, It is fitting that this place is a few steps below sea level on Baltimore Avenue, because you feel like you are a part of some underground bohemian society of neo-black panthers. Feels like Mos-Def and Talib Kweli might stroll in any second with a Dasheki on, while Chuck D pumps his fist around a cold Kale smoothie.. It was here with my beautiful wife and family, that this idea was inspired.. Yeah, its a pretty crappy site now...but give me some time, I have 350 years of slavery to escape from mentally...:Fight the Power!

Life in Southern West Philly is ecclectic, collective and cool. From our parks to our co-ops SoWest Philly is the most locally sourced, organically green section of the City. Even our Trolley Line is Green!!
