“Best crepes around, as well as outstanding coffees and teas. Friendly, fast service, clean and homey atmosphere. Outstanding!“

“I’ve been coming to Cocalico Coffee Crafters for about a year and a half now—and I should have written this sooner. CCC is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a place with the warmth of a hearth, and the heart to match. Their Haitian espresso is rich and flavorful, the food’s solid, and the baristas are friendly. The space is large, and they fill it with good energy. But what really sets this place apart is the people. When I was going through a rough patch, I spent countless hours tucked away in a corner writing. Not once did anyone bat an eye at whether I ordered one coffee or ten, whether I took my meals there or not. I always got the same welcoming smile, and authentically good energy from the staff and owners alike. Owned by two genuinely kind humans, Rachel and Scott Elliott, this shop has quietly become a place of refuge and community for folks around East Cocalico—and I’ll always be grateful for what it gave me when I needed it most. Be sure to check out their site for menus or event rental information—I've not been in attendance to any, but I've seen the care with which they prepare: They're who I'll talk to next time I need such a space.“

“Many grocery stores have an area to get s bite to eat. Many do it well, but Dutch-Way and their Cafe do it Very, Very Well. The cafe and open kitchen are absolutely spotless, the food is served fast and always to our liking and it is always delicious. The menu doesn't overwhelm in size but there is something for everyone and they do it well.
Highly recommended!“

“Would definitely recommend! We went around 3pm and it was very quiet. The atmosphere is very nice. There prices are very reasonable. I got a salad and sandwich combo for $11 with a drink and chips. I thought the food was delicious. Service was great. Would go back!“

“Excellent also very clean. Comfortable environment.“

“Every time I’ve eaten there it was scrumptious! Very nice, cozy cafe with an always-tempting daily board of choices. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a gem! GO“

“We loved it! The egg sandwich was perfect. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the 3 condiment combo but they know what they are doing! It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had. Just sad we are from out of town so I can’t get another anytime soon. We also had the berry ones. It was a great experience.“

“I had a wonderful time at the café! My beverage was super tasty and my sweet treat was absolutely delicious. Will be back!“

“Amazing CBD coffee!“

“I used Courtyard's catering services for my wedding rehearsal dinner, and everything was absolutely amazing! Courtney was very responsive, accomodated dietary restrictions, and offered an amazing selection of unique foods and desserts for our meal. I had so many people come up to me afterwards and say how amazing the food was (top faves were the roasted butternut squash and the apple crisp cheesecake). I couldn't recommend Courtyard Cafe more highly for any of your catering needs!“

“OMG..the mini doughnuts bather in cinnamon sugar hot off the rack are mind blowing! Words can’t describe this savory nugget. Eat a dozen there and take at least 3 dozen to go!!! :-)“

“great food it super yummy and the staff is so nice“

“Always worth the trip and didn’t disappoint again today! Big menu selection and great service from everyone involved. See you next time!“

“Warning! The stickers by the napkins and silverware that look like they’re free ARE NOT FREE. It’s really dumb that they have them there bc you get the impression that you can take these cute little stickers, which I almost did until my eye caught the teeny tiny price list mounted on the wall. They really should reconsider that whole situation. Aside from that the ice cream cake I ordered was a hit and well priced. Waaaay better than DQ!“

“Great food and wonderful staff. The sweet potato French Fries are to die for.“

“We were warmly welcomed by Laura. Had sandwiches, scones and lattes. All good, fresh and flavorfull. Nice ambience and located in the heart of the Main St. shopping.“

“I drink my coffee black, so flavor is everything. It was very tasty coffee. The only thing I would change is perhaps a bit hotter. I like my coffee to stay hot for a while.“

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Pepper Theo Cafe, beautiful Christmas decorations, cute waiter, and we sat right in front of the fireplace! Very nice!!“

“We held my daughter’s baby shower at this amazing beautifully decorated event space. The staff was so approachable and helpful when planning and on the day of the shower. Highly recommend!“

“Great service, beautiful smiles“

“Every time I’ve eaten there it was scrumptious! Very nice, cozy cafe with an always-tempting daily board of choices. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a gem! GO“

“First timer!! It was awesome!! The staff helped me choose the perfect lunch. Breakfast grilled cheese and a London Fog frapp. I will definitely be back!!“

“Great place to stay ! And to come back to“

“Kitchen Kettle Village was such a fun and charming stop! There were so many shops to explore — from homemade treats to handcrafted decor — and even some of the cutest little Airbnbs right on-site. I could’ve taken home so many snacks and goodies, but the semi can only hold so much 😂 We still managed to bring back a few favorites! The fudge-making was so fun to watch (and taste!), and the pretzels, ice cream, and kettle corn are absolute must-tries. It made for such a nice, relaxing afternoon in the heart of Amish Country, and we can’t wait to come back again soon! 🛍️🍦🌾“

“Great food, selection and price.“

“X KEEPING it real.We rock. Come see us real soon.“

“Nice place and I stop by there whenever I’m near by“

“Great breakfast burrito and delicious lattes. Cute place with outdoor seating as well as indoor. Very clean and nice.“

“I work close by. If this place ever closes, i'm quitting. I don't want a life without this place. The tomato soup..BANGING! i don't normally like tomato soup but this one has spices and cream and pieces of tomato. im here for it. the breakfast sandwhich....YESSS!“

“Great food! Great drinks! Wonderful people! Like hanging out with friends! Food is fresh and filling! Drinks are served hot and fabulous enough to please picky teenagers! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to return!“

“Fabulous cream cheese bialys! Better than I can find in NY.“

“A favorite coffee shop of mine. I tend to always get the same things on the menu because of how good they are. The BEST cold brew, the best lattes (by the way, their syrups are HOMEMADE!!), and I absolutely love their rice bowl. It’s pure comfort. Beautiful inside and fun to sit on the high tops while looking out the window of Lancaster’s theater and arts district.
Employees, baristas, everyone is a gem! They serve me so well and call me by name which always makes me feel so special. I adore them!
Check them out but be sure to get there early before the crowds.
On street parking that you can pay for or a lot nearby. Grab breakfast, then go to Central Market after 😍“

“Linden Coffee makes my taste buds happy! Seriously though, we stopped by one day on a trip to PA. We are from MD. In ordered a hazelnut cold brew, oh boy was it yummy. We came up to PA again and I made it a point to stop before we headed home. Again, they did not disappoint! This coffee is GOOD! I dance inside when I drink it. ❤️“

“We had such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious - especially the burgers!

A special thank-you to our server, Beth, who was incredibly kind and attentive. When she brought out our meals, she made sure everyone was okay and had everything they needed, which made the experience feel extra thoughtful. It's rare to come across service that feels both genuine and personal, and Beth made us feel well cared for our entire meal.

We left full, happy, and already talking about returning. Highly recommend!“

“The service was quick and very pleasant. Your coffee was some of the best I’ve drank and your black bean brownie was better than a regular one!! My grandson enjoyed it and never knew the difference ❤️ An eclectic, homey, well priced coffee and eatery. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free. Will definitely be back!“

“I really like everthing I have ever bought at Zigs, my problem is the service, you can be at counter waiting for service an the servers will just walk past you.“

“The absolute nicest and most accommodating staff! Their drink selection is amazing and everything I've tried has been delicious! The peanut butter creme latte is unique and my favorite! Highly recommend supporting this very well-run small business!“

“Absolutely amazing food great service!!! I got the loaded breakfast tot!!! 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!! Thank you savory truffle for a wonderful meal!!!“
