Top notch espresso served by professional staff. Small but classic space right downtown makes for a great experience.
Best coffee in Lancaster! They’ve had some consistency issues in the past. We’ve gotten better and worse drip and espresso, but overall the service and coffee are great.
We were walking by and stopped for coffee as this place looked so cute!! I got an iced dark chocolate mocha. Unfortunately the coffee was very bitter and unsweetened. The raw cane sugar didn't dissolve so I ended up only drinking half of it. The service was great though and it is super cute. Just ask for sweetened coffee if you want a little sweetness.
Passenger is maybe the best coffee roaster in the world. They are definitely the best café in Lancaster.
Clean, comfortable, simple yet extraordinary, delicate, calm. This stop was very special to our party of 5. The environment caters towards peaceful conversation, the drinks were top notch, and our service was friendly and approachable.
I cannot say enough good things about this place. Their staff are essentially caffeine evangelists who are the Mother Theresa’s of their profession. 5 stars isn’t enough!
I love their coffees. My favorite is the oat milk latte.
Very kind and knowledgeable staff since I had questions about allergies. Great cappuccino and the biscuits are delicious as well!!
Best coffee, best baristas, best vegan chocolate chip cookie I've ever had!
This place is absolutely excellent. I have been to any number of coffee shops in my travels, I am sure it's been 100 different places that do pour overs or aeropress or whatever the method-of-the-day is, from Florida to NYC, Boston to Chicago, Austin, San Fran, Seattle and all sorts places in between. I can say without a doubt that Passenger is right up there with some of the best places I have been. My wife really liked the tea as well. The staff here is also fabulously friendly. I can't recommend it enough.
Amazing beans extracted beautifully & consistently by talented baristas in a clean, Scandinavian-style setting. Excellent coffee shop from top to bottom!
The food and coffee are always amazing here. If you're coming for the coffee come here for sure. There is no public wifi so it's a come and be space, not a come and work space
Stopped by this place after visiting central market, it is very small and perfect for a quick drink or pastry. I got the macchiato and it was very traditional. They have a small bar that allows you to drink your espressos or small coffees similar to how the Italians do in Italy. The place is very small with only a few seats so it is difficult to have a coffee with a friend. It looked like there may have been seating upstairs, however, it was closed off when I visited. I definitely recommend this place to pop in and get takeout, however, I wouldn't plan on dining in due to the limited seating.
Minimalist menu, but if you just want a coffee or tea it’s the perfect place to get a refreshing drink when visiting Central Market. The staff is super friendly and goes above and beyond with service. The vibe is chill, sleek, and relaxing.
My drink is always so delicious! The staff is really kind and will always explain the drinks if you’re unsure what you want. Super cute inside!
A minimal elevated coffee shop in the style of what I call "new new wave" — focusing on unique beans from around the world in very light roasts to allow to enjoy the unique flavor of each varietal. The space is peaceful and is great to stay and work throughout the day.
Best coffee in central PA, and it’s not close. High quality beans and well trained baristas in a cool shop right in downtown Lancaster. Their pastries are good too, and they pair nicely with a coffee or a tea.
Visited with my parents a few days ago. I didn't get anything myself except for a pop tart (yum), but they both really enjoyed what they got and it seemed like a very sweet, simple and intimate place. Not like any coffee/tea shop I've been to (not that i get out enough for that to mean something). I'd be delighted to go again next time I pass through Lancaster. Thanks for the kindness.
My barista (forgetting their name but was wearing a silver and black belt with black boots and had a beard—very sweet!! Name maybe started with an M?) helped me pick out the perfect coffee for the day after trying their daily drip…ended up getting a Montecarlo cappuccino and it was just perfect. The vibe was so calm and welcoming inside—I sat and read with great light in the window!—and it was the perfect start to my day. Hello fall!!
I love the Downtown location and the smaller Cafe around the corner from me. Best biscuits and the friendliest staff. Definitely a must visit!
