Avril 50 Homepage

Avril 50 is a Philadelphia shop that brings together international publications, fine cards and postcards, gourmet coffee and tea, and imported chocolates and confections. Premium cigars and tobacco products are also part of the range, so the shelves cover reading, gifting, and a few indulgences at once.

Coffee, tea, and chocolate make it a handy stop for a gift or a treat, and the card selection suits last-minute birthdays and thank-you notes. Weekday hours run from early morning to early evening, with shorter hours on weekends. Shopping is done in person, with no online ordering or delivery listed, so a neighbor looking for a specific magazine or tin of tea is best off calling first.
