28 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious bagel breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Can’t wait to try their lunch menu. Friendly staff!“

“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!“

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

“Best coffee and wonderful service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“
