29 Best Cafes near Lancaster

“I know that there’s a lot of places in Lancaster to choose for your morning breakfast, but can I suggest Pallet Cafe?! I have been to every small café in the area and this place blew me away! I got the Teddy Graham iced coffee, and the Caprese avocado toast. Absolutely incredible. The coffee actually tasted like the description and the Caprese avocado toast was delicious and so flavorful! This has by far been my favorite (& cheapest) breakfast spot! It’s also so cozy in there and reminds me of going to eat at my Mimi’s house. I don’t know the owners, they didn’t tell me to post this. I just want them to get the recognition that they deserve. 🫶🏻“

“Great avocado Delicious avocado toast, teas and macaroons. Hope they can offer more plant based meals, but their beverage options are great. Great ambiance and service.“

“Good food and consistent. Nice service in addition. I recommend trying them, you will not be disappointed!!“

“ok ok, I was driving through Clarence and searched coffee near me, amongst the usual spots, Prominent popped up. I love not so corporate coffee shops so I decided to give it a shot. To be honest, I didn't run inside to pick-up my two iced lattes, my husband did. He said the inside was warm, quaint & clean. I pre-ordered an iced maple latte with oatmilk and an iced brown sugar oatmilk latte. I was intrigued by the way the website says that the espresso is brewed THROUGH the brown sugar rather than using a syrup to flavor it. It is absolutely delicious. Rich and smooth flavor. The iced maple latte *baristas kiss* is not sweet at all, which is a good thing. Sometimes maple drinks taste syrupy and fake but this one is perfect 👌 I'll definitely swing by here again 10/10“

“The best deli in western ny you must try it“

“We had the opportunity to experience Annie and John’s Thanksgiving Dinner menu last night. Everything was outstanding- fresh, delicious, and satisfying. With the utmost sincerity I express that this is the best Thanksgiving dinner I have ever eaten!!!“

“Everything was amazing! I ordered the double cutlet flight, tiramisu, and roast beef for Christmas Eve, and my guests devoured it—especially the cutlets. I was working that day and needed to feed 30 people, and you made the whole process stress-free. We’ll absolutely be ordering again. Happy New Year!“

“Beautiful place to dine with friends. Friendly staff, food was wonderful, the atmosphere was relaxing and the decor was amazing! Will definitely visit again.“

“I love Alden Coffee House! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The menu has something for everyone, and everything I’ve tried has been excellent. sometimes I feel like Norm from Cheers when Danielle yells out my name. Whether I’m grabbing my usual or trying something new off the monthly board, it's always great!“

“My niece told me I had to check the place out. She knows her Aunt welbeze! 😆 Seriously, the vibe is so positive it's actually soothing. The acai bowl is as good as the bowls I've had in Cali. The Chai Lattes were as yummy as the omelette. The bathrooms were clean. I'd recommend checking on the tp throughout the day. I went back to work and raved about the place...eats, drinks & staff were awesome! I'll be back!“

“Delicious, convenient, and extensive menu“

“My husband was given a gift certificate to Taste so we tried it out for the first time and had been routinely coming since! We love the atmosphere. Rustic building, hip coffee shop vibe. They offer tea and coffee options including seasonal features. Soup and Mac n cheese sides, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, comfort food like pot roast, and desserts displayed so you can make a choice. They have a cooler with drinks like pop, water, juices, and such, and beer selections including NA. We tend to park in the lot behind the building, walk up the stairs through the little pedestrian alley, and enter through the side door. Staff are always pleasant, food has been consistent, and the coffee is delicious. Restroom was clean when I've used it, but the tables have always needed to be wiped down the several times we've visited. There is the expectation guests will clear their trash, but perhaps adding the ability for patrons to wipe their table would be helpful. We wouldn't mind wiping it down before we leave or grabbing something from the station area to clean a dirty table before we sit as compared to not having a place to sit.“

“I love this place so much, the first time I step in Here I felt welcomed. Cathy the owner made me feel like home ? everyone I met the 2 times I Been here became like my long time friends. Great conversations and the energy was amazing. I will visit you now often Cathy thank you for having us and welcome us with a big smile and warm hugs.“

“Holly and her staff are always welcoming and the food is excellent.“

“BEST PIZZA in town on a Wednesday night! Friendly, warm atmosphere where you will feel right at home and meet up with old friends and make new ones. The Belgian waffles are amazing. Stop in on a Saturday for a DELICIOUS panini and cup of soup if you are on campus or out running errands. And wind up your visit with a stop at the Catholic store and you won't walk out empty handed. I can never pass up a card or necklace and I bought my mother in law a baking dish and cutting board for Christmas. I could go on and on but you need to come see for yourself! Besides, my daughter Katie volunteers in the cafe and it's one time all week that I get served by her!!! LOL“

“The employees were awesome- especially the service desk - super nice & caring“

“Got a cup of house blend today and all day kept thinking about what a great cup of coffee it was. Highly recommend.“

“The broth is fantastic, the portion sizes are generous and the menu offers many pho choices and is clear about types of meat involved. However I felt there wasn’t enough meat in the bowl, the rare beef was too cooked and the brisket too fatty, otherwise good.“

“10/10 recommend Ohlsons! We have been going to them for baked goods for a while now and no matter what we always go back because no one can compete with their quality or customer service“

“Great little local café to get breakfast! Great atmosphere and food, the owner is an amazingly nice lady who gave us suggestions on places for our weekend trip and she even took our picture for us. Definitely stop here if you can,you won't be sorry!“

“The girls who work at this Starbucks are super sweet and very friendly!! They always go above and beyond to make conversations with the customers, and overall deliver amazing service. The only downside of this location is that the seating arrangement is a little awkward with the traffic of people coming into Target. It would be nice if it felt a little more secluded, but I understand that there is only so much you can do with that space. Regardless, I’ve had many great experiences at this location!“

“Beautiful shop and delicious food and coffee! My favorite is the ceasar salad 🥗 and any of the lattes!“

“This has been a unique and truly great coffee shop for at least the last twenty years, not least because the delightful manager Michelle is excellent at her job. For coffee lovers and those who enjoy a wonderful, esoteric setting, this place truly is worth a significant detour to visit.“

“Our favorite place to unwind!! We try to come weekly, whether it be for just some wine and cocktails, their exceptional desserts, or a light meal, if one of suggests mambrino, the other will always say yes! The servers and bartenders are all excellent and extremely personable. I would suggest checking it out, but then you might sit on the couch, and that’s where we like to sit!! Either way, go check it out! I can share. 😂“

“Panera Bread is pretty decent. In my opinion the prices are a little high, but you really are getting fresher foods with few to no preservatives in it. The morning crew at this location are great, friendly, and helpful. Overall, you could do a heck of a lot worse looking for a nice salad and/or sandwich or soup.“

“I went to get some broccoli cheddar soup, and they were out of baguettes. When I went to pick up my order, I asked if I could pay for a sandwich bread instead. Patrick stepped in and said, “We can just give it to you,” and even asked if I’d like it toasted! That’s awesome customer service — thank you again!“

“Food was delicious and service was great. Reasonably priced and good portions. Would definitely recommend.“

“First timer at the one near Larkin. Everything was delicious and service was great. Will definitely be back!!! 😊♥️“
