28 Best Cafes in Lancaster

“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 love the French feel and always enjoy spending time in the beautiful atmosphere. I love the selections for vegetarians, especially the Capri. It is the perfect little place to meet with friends or to take a date.“

“Best cafe ever! Jax is warm and inviting and does a superb job of playing host and caring for these kitties. The cafe is pure genius and a great addition to the city.“

“Staff was very friendly - helped me out when I didn't know how to order lol. I got an iced caramel latte with marshmallow soft whip on top. SOO good. Far better than big corporate coffee places like Starbucks. Also order a breakfast bagel. That was also really good! I really like the atmosphere. My only complaint would tables (they have a sticky-like texture & they're pretty high up from the booth seats. Other than that, I really enjoyed my first experience here. Will definitely be back again.“

“Amazing CBD coffee!“

“I love this place! Great coffee, really good soups. Staff is very pleasant and friendly. Laid back atmosphere.“

“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 had breakfast three times at Coffee Co. In Lancaster PA. Three times were very good. Our server was Chris G. He was very friendly and nice. We had another server a lady. I dont remember her name. She was very nice too. We are from Connecticut and had a wonderful time in Lancaster PA. We plan to go back.“

“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 stopped here for brunch on our way home from Hersheypark. We ordered takeout and the wait was only 25 minutes around 11:30 on a Sunday. We got each of the vegan burritos and shared. As well as a vegan banana chai bread and a vegan brownie. I preferred the potato burrito, but my husband preferred the vegan sausage & egg burrito. I would have enjoyed the sausage burrito better if it wasn’t so wet and juicy. You couldn’t tell it was aioli because there was so much hot liquid inside. Also, one side was grilled to a crisp while the other side was doughy. (The egg and sausage were cooked very nicely though) The potato burrito was much more cohesive and had way better overall texture and was consistently grilled. And I appreciated the extra punch of flavor that came from the bell peppers. I couldn’t really tell there was aioli on this either. (Maybe it’d be better on the side and dipped) The chai banana bread was phenomenal! It had a coffee cake type of crumble on top, and the texture was consistent throughout. (There was a teeeeny bit of gumminess as you chew it up, but it wasn’t a problem.) The brownie is definitely NOT a brownie. It’s 100% chocolate cake. (Tasty chocolate cake, but disappointing if you were expecting a brownie. It’s crumbly and fluffy, not dense at all.) we ate half on sunday, wrapped it back up and when i went to take a photo on Monday morning, it was already showing initial signs of mold on top. That was the 6th, but the package says it would be good until the 9th. It also didn’t say to refrigerate, and I didn’t think 1 day on the counter would have been a problem (most muffins and cakes do just fine on the counter for a day). But apparently it was a problem? I picked those tiny bits off and still ate it. It was still tasty… chocolate cake, lol. We sat at the little bistro tables outside at just the right time, because when noon rolled around, the sun peeked around the building and started beating down. No awning or umbrellas in sight.“

“An all inclusive community for seniors in an interesting and attractive location.“

“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!“

“I wish I could tag every sandwich shop in Lancaster, so they could know where the best sandwiches are made. Take notes. I went here on a whim, and let me tell you. The Zesty Jack was unbelievable. My only regret is not buying 3 more to take with me. Their sauce, the cheese, the bread, just absolutely muah. *Chef's Kiss* 10/10. Perfect.“

“So far so good. We've ordered four different drinks here and they have all been good. The woman running the register is always pleasant and the prices are competitive. Basically ever drink on the menu looks great. I want to try them all!“

“Great food, selection and price.“

“Great food, selection and price.“

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

“Stopped by and tried their delicious black sesame creme latte. A great nutty flavor and I appreciated that the latte wasn't overly sweetened. Love stopping here when I make it into the city. The baristas were also very friendly.“

“Best coffee and wonderful service!“

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

“Outstanding food, large portions. Always 5 stars!“

“The coffee & food are amazing, along with the most kind girls at the New Holland shop.“

“The service was good. However, they ran out of chicken salad, bacon, and tomato’s—this happened at dinner time around 5:25pm. They said it was because of the concert at AMT but there are always concerts there and we always go to Panera before the concert and this has never happened before.“

“July 2025
The restaurant is very open and laid out nicely, so I like that improvement over older Panera locations. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant with a coffee, and both items were very good, but they really need to have more than one person making food early on a Sunday morning. Other than the wait, I really enjoyed my visit while passing through.“

“Very refreshing. Super clean location and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this business.“
