Wonderful Coffee Shop. I ordered a single espresso and was instantly impressed by the fact that they have single espresso cups available for take away. The espresso was excellent in flavor and clarity. It was a great temperature in the cup with exciting upfront acidity that led to a fruity and maybe coco powder flavor as I finished my cup. I am unsure as to what beans they are using, but I really liked them! I would absolutely return! With straight espresso tasting as good as it does here, I can only imagine that all their other drinks would be incredible.
My son and i enjoying this place . Respectful courtesy cheerful employees very time fashioned. They make sure your order is correct and just how you like it. The coffee was so delightful and so refreshing my son enjoying a strawberry banana slushy. Mmmm mommy this is good ! If you want to place that is quick filling and some healthy stuff as you got a sweet tooth they seem to got it this is my first time and my son's first time ever come in here and the experience was very good speaking for myself . I recommend this place.
Had an awesome experience here. I felt welcome and safe with Godzilla and his Kaiju Pals watching over us in paining form. The baristas were quick and accommodating. The coffee was excellent and their Coffee Cake was surprisingly moist.
Cute little spot to grab coffee in Lancaster! The menu is very extensive (and their drink guide on the wall will teach you everything you need to know about what to order). The toasted marshmallow latte was delicious! Can’t wait to come back to try more of their Fall flavors!
Love it here. Very good coffee and other drinks for a competitive, low price. The employees are very friendly & the environment is so cute! Would definitely recommend if in the area, it’s just a ice place to study or chat.
This coffee shop is hands down one of my favorite places to work. The atmosphere is perfect—cozy, inviting, and always has plenty of seating, even during busy hours. It’s easy to find a spot, and the vibe makes it comfortable to share a table if needed. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely cares about their customers. Today was a great example: I was so deep into work, completely in the zone with my headphones on, and I didn’t even realize they had closed at 2 PM. When I finally checked the time, it was 2:20 PM, and a staff member had just then come over to let me know—no rush, no pressure, just a kind acknowledgment. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare, and it really stood out to me. I always get a ton of work done here, and I appreciate how the space and the staff contribute to that. If you’re looking for a spot with great energy, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team that truly cares, this is the place. Highly recommend!
A marvelous place to come for a warm cup of coffee on a cold day. I got the Costa Rican blend. i’ve never been to Costa Rica. But I imagine that if I did, it would taste like this cup of coffee.
This place should be called Nice Mug, ’cuz this place sure is nice! Best coffee in the realm, and those hand pies (cheese, egg, bacon) are the greatest breakfast item ever to be sold in any coffee shop I have ever been to in my life (and I’ve been in more coffee shops than anyone alive today).
