530 South Street • Philadelphia, PA
More Fun Upstairs
From the first tag to the latest wheat paste, upstairs at TMom’s has been home to a rich history of local & international street art. This is an ever changing gallery: an un-curated & spontaneous outpouring of creativity by local & traveling artists and the countless visitors who leave their unique mark here nightly.
The birth of the upstairs as a vibrant art space is in part tied to a 1999 exhibition by brothers Noah & Nathan Rice. That year the Brothers Rice brought their umbrella wheat pastes we’d been admiring around South Street to Mom’s. All 5000 of them.
Sticker art has been an important part of the upstairs at Mom’s since day one. So it’s a huge honor (and a lot of fun) to be the home of the Sticky Art Machine.
Love & Good Times Always
We’re keeping it extra CHILL all summer long with Mom’s Hawaiian Shave Ice. Inspired by the road side shave ice stands of the islands, we created a cool treat with a bit of a kick. Our house made shave ice comes in Blue Hawaiian or Cherry Cola or half and half for the best of both tropical worlds. Enjoy straight up or with the spirit of your choice. Keep cool & enjoy a taste of the islands in the heart of Philadelphia, only at TMoms!
We’re feeling those tropical vibes all summer long with our new Tiki Kitty cocktail. We took a big dash of the aloha spirit & mixed it with Bulliet Rye, Lucky Falernum, fresh pineapple and lime juice & raspberry liqueur. All served in a cool tiki mug you can take home with you inspired by our iconic lucky kitty bar statue.
Sticker art has been an important part of the upstairs at Mom’s since day one. And we’ve been the proud host of Characters Welcome, an International Sticker Art Show, for the past five years. So it’s a huge honor (and a lot of fun) to be the home of the Sticky Art Machine. Curated by the legendary street artist Bob Will Reign, the series features one of kind designs by some of our all time sticker art heroes. The 4th and current edition highlights exclusive, limited edition stickers from Air Rat & Mr. Switch. Previous editions include work by Robots Will Kill, The London Police, Arrex Skulls, Old Broads, Kid Hazo, Bob Will Reign & Musk.
Check out the Sticky Art Machine next time you’re upstairs and collect them all!

As the tempertures take a dip we’ve been crafting a cocktail that will warm your heart as only your French Vietnamese tattooed mother can. Introducing the Cafe Me, our take on the traditional Vietnamese coffee but with a bit of a French kick. Made with love and Vietnamese French roast coffee, sweetened condensed milk and peach raspberry Grand Marnier. Enjoy!
Space is the place and this galactic delight is your launching pad to fun! Another permanent installment on our unique signature cocktail menu, the Pop Rocket is a fizzy and fun-filled drink that is simply out-of-this-world. An enticing blend of Stolichinaya raspberri, raspberry liqueur, lemon soda, and pop rocks candy, let this intergalactic babe take you on a journey that transcends the time-space continuum.
