Ikigai Coffee

The boba was great and the food was pretty good. The only problem was the one girl gave me like a look for my boba combination but other than that it was fun. Tiny bit cramped.

Best coffee in the area. Everyone there is so nice and attentive.

Ikigai coffee has the best coffee in Hanover. The drinks are great and priced right. The baked goods are delicious and hand made. My son loves the chocolate muffins. This place is in the downstairs of the old McAllister hotel. The atmosphere is very cool and friendly. The owners are very kind and remember you when you are a repeat customer. We try to go as often as we can.

My wife had to be in the Hanover area yesterday morning. She decided to stop in to check out the Cafe. We had passed it a few times and wondered what it was like. Since she had some extra time, now was good. She was greeted with "are you visiting" and she confirmed that was. Now to preface there was a diversity festival happening at the Square, so maybe this is what she meant. She ordered her food and coffee drink and sat down. When it was ready, she got up and went to the counter, retrieved her food and sat down. Another couple came in and ordered there food and drink, then sat down. When their food was ready, they brought it over to the table. Now my wife is Filipino and the other couple was not...kind of strange how people of color are treated differently especially with a diversity festival around the corner. This is isn't the first time we have been treated this way in Hanover establishments...they have a long way to go....better service would raise the star level with this one.

This is the BEST coffee shop around!! Family owned, friendly staff and excellent service. They are able provide fresh weekly catering orders and great holiday specials to surprise your spouse and children. There are no other businesses in the area that offer the same level of service as they do!

This coffee shop is exactly what Hanover needed! The space inside is very classy and the coffee is amazing!
The staff have always been friendly and accommodating during my visits. 😊
A definite regular coffee stop on my way to work! 😉

This is my absolute favorite place to get coffee! The atmosphere is very cozy and comforting, not to mention the delicious coffee and baked goods. I highly recommend a visit!

They had a really good Americano I usually take my americano's black and sometimes people make them too watery or way too intensely strong this was right in the middle which was great. The space itself is really cool there was a lot of thought that goes into the decor it could be a fun place for an intimate coffee with an old friend or even a good first date place. usually places like this have pastries that look fantastic but aren't that great this place has really good pastries you can see all the equipment they use to make it from the checkout counter and I had one and it was very fresh and good. They are also covid compliant. Overall very classy coffee shop in Hanover a nice mellow space with good coffee and great service

Enjoyed a true wet cappuccino at Ikigai, what a delight. I am very sensitive when it comes to coffee and am grateful that there were no ill affects from having this tasty treat. There seems to be a wide variety of drinks and homemade snacks available, even some gluten free. The coffee beans are from Lancaster but I didn’t ask for additional details. I chose a toasted bagel with cream cheese but there are additional varieties of each available. It seemed like my bagel was toasted in a panini from the squish, so if you don’t want a squished bagel perhaps mention that!

This modern coffee shop is below ground though accessible via stairs from the sidewalk, under a hotel and tucked beside an underground parking lot. It is clean inside with ample space for a handful of folks to meet and chat with others. You will not find huge tables here. You will find a peaceful atmosphere, even the music was low key and just the right volume, not too loud, not too soft. There are plenty of accessible electric outlets which is key for a great cafe. You will find the internet password at the bottom of your receipt, so don’t forget to ask for one!

It was a bit chilly and damp for my old bones today, but I liked having a hot coffee and warm bagel in this environment. I do see a unit on the wall so I am sure that under certain circumstances they are providing heat or ac - I did not ask for any adjustment as my visit was cut short due to personal engagement.

I will definitely return.

Today was my first visit to Ikigai Coffee. Everything was excellent from the decor to the taste of my coffee. Customer service was great. They heated up my cream for me.
Be aware the coffee shop is located at the McAllister Hotel, but it has a separate entrance that's down a flight of steps from the outside sidewalk.
I would have given 5 stars, but they don't offer any sugar free syrups.
