30 Best Cafes in Lancaster

“The friendliest staff and best crepes around. Outdoor dining in the winter is fabulous with the new heaters. Indoor dining is always wonderful.“

“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.“

“Amazing CBD coffee!“

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

“They were Very helpful and kind. I loved how they had 6 different sugar free flavors- 3 of them are made in-house (sweetener is sucralose). I had the pumpkin which was very good and didn’t have that sickly sweet tang that some sf flavors have. They were also very accommodating with making a bread less sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich.- they also have a few salads but I didn’t try them. This place is Keto, sf, diabetic friendly.
Very quiet and peaceful when I was there. A little small for big groups.“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

“Great food, selection and price.“

“Awesome breakfast spot - flaky croissants are the best! And the homemade ketchup! Nice outside space to enjoy with friends!“

“Peanut and Tree nut free safe. BUT certain things involve treenuts. So you should tell them you have a peanut and/or tree nuts allergy before ordering. If it's a delivery order they will tell you to write it in the notes, but there is no notes so call and tell them your order name and that you have a peanut/treenut allergy.“

“Love the teas and waffles! The staff is top notch, they’ve all now become friends of mine. Love this place 💙“

“Great food, selection and price.“

“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.“

“This is my favorite little breakfast/lunch spot in the area. Absolutely. I order too often from here and am never disappointed. I will always favor them. I absolutely love their breakfast items, the pepperjack tomato soup is the best I’ve ever had, and the beef bite is my go to sandwich. Their iced lattes are better than Starbucks in my opinion; I appreciate the cute box and presentation when they wrap my food up. I love the sandwich combo and getting a pickle on the side. Everything is so nostalgic in a sense and you get that mom pop business quality you don’t quite find anywhere else. *chefs kiss*“

“We truly cannot sing enough praises for the Cork Factory Hotel! Jen, Keri, and the rest of the Cork staff made our weekend absolutely seamless, from start to finish. They worked tirelessly to make sure we had the best wedding weekend that we could have ever imagined. As our coordinator, Jen was a godsend! She managed every panicked email, every request, and every question with grace and kindness. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the rooms are so comfortable. The ballroom transformed from ceremony to reception beautifully. We could not imagine getting married anywhere else, and we are already planning our next trip back to visit. We have heard nothing from good things from all of our guests who attended the wedding, about how elegant the venue was, and how they enjoyed the food. We cannot thank Jen and the rest of the Cork staff enough!!“

“Best coffee and wonderful service!“

“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.“

“Rosa Rosa has amazing customer service to match their delicious pizza! My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here last year and this year for our anniversary, we came back and they made us a heart shaped pizza with candles and everything! The pizza is delicious, we love all the options and toppings and the customer service is outstanding. Thank you Rosa Rosa for helping make our first anniversary so special and sweet!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“
