The coffee, atmosphere, and service are all amazing. I love being able to sit down with my delicious drink and just enjoy the experience of little amps. They occasionally have music events in the evenings on weekends. Sunday mornings can be a bit busy given the church crowds but overall I have loved going to this place. Their coffee is so good, but I highly recommend their hot matcha latte, it’s truly divine.

I love their cold jar coffee drink. Their coffee has a very nice flavor.Vegetarian options: They usually have a limited number of vegan pastries.

Lovely little coffee shop where you can also get nice pastries and bagels in a great location. If you want you can sit outside and see the capitol building or walk down the street and walk along/sit beside the river on a nice day.They were running low/ran out of bagels when we got there so you might need to get there early in the morning to enjoy them!

The staff was helpful in assisting me while I chose a coffee that would be unique, flavorful, and exquisite. However, the atmosphere lacked a certain warmth that is deserving of a 5-star review. Great coffee and clean establishment- would come here again!

I want to say that I have been in coffee shops all across the US and have usually encountered the friendliest and most interesting baristas. However, I had a very strange experience here. The coffee was good. However, the service was not friendly at all. The person who worked there (perhaps a woman, but don’t want to misgender) was definitely nicer. They at least engaged w me when I asked for recommendations. The male (again, unsure how they identify) was kind of short w me and rude. As someone visiting who was clearly never there, I think you could be a bit more engaging w the customer. He just kept turning back to the other person discussing stock etc. It struck me as pretentious unnecessarily. Plus, the shop was empty on a Saturday mid day, which I found odd. It has great reviews though, so it was weird. I had the NOLA, it was pretty good. I thought the vibe was cool and funky 70s art deco. Could be a cool place to hang out if they work on their engagement w customers.

Not only was the staff of two giving weird vibes but the coffee was not good. I understand that every coffee shop is different and ingredients differ but the dirty chai I ordered WAS NOT a dirty chai. It was just plain iced coffee. I don’t really understand all the five stars when it’s just another subpar coffee shop.

Great service, amazing vibe, and quality coffee. They weighed every shot that they pulled which is some serious attention to detail.

My 'little' pit stop between my apartment up river and my family in Philly. Both locations are nice, but this is my go to- this one is light and airy, and has a bit more space to settle in, and if needed, to park.

My coffees were absolutely disgusting! Good atmosphere, friendly service! The product tho absolutely gross! Sorry guys I always live a good coffee shop but this wasn’t it!
So they actually do not have breakfast sandwiches at this location that has the call. Really sad that I could drive five minutes and get a breakfast sandwich from the other location. A little over six dollars for a very small cuppa coffee that I hadn’t gone to one less than a minute and a half. I don’t understand why this place gets so many good reviews there are much better options including Starbucks.

Little Amps has been my “go to” spot for coffee in Harrisburg for around 5 years now. In my opinion, you’re not going to find a better cup of coffee or espresso in the City of Harrisburg.There is always a diverse group of Patrons that frequent the shop on State Street which provides a very welcoming and friendly environment. Whether you want to telework, have a causal conversation, or simply want to just be independent, you can do all at your own accord.The staff is also just as welcoming as the ambience. Even during normal “rushes” they maintain a level of professionalism, politeness, and efficiency.Great place/coffee shop overall!!

I'm sadly, very unimpressed. I wanted so badly to like this place. I saw online that they sold vegan cheeses, but they were out of stock. My wife grabbed a kombucha and I wanted one as well, but they were out of stock. I ordered a coffee and it was funky. It tasted old, was very acidic and burnt which led to an imbalanced and very unpleasant experience. The sleeve that slides over the cup didn't work and the cup was very hot and I had to hold the cup in a funky way to not burn my hand. The inside of store was off as well. It wasn't hip, so much as a poorly executed version of a cliche and it comes across as boring. It feels like it just kind of is there. I walked out really wondering what the little amps brand was about. It didn't grab me. Is it about minimalism? Is it a spartan chic spot for broke inner city millennials who can't afford Starbucks? I just couldn't work it out why I would choose little amps coffee as the spot for me. Hopefully they invest aggressively in developing a cohesive and effective brand strategy, marketing, decor, vibe, quality control and inventory. If all little amps are as unimpressive as this one, you don't need three locations within 3 square miles. You need one solid location done exceptionally well. Just my two cents.Guess I'm stuck running out of town for my vegan cheeses.
