I've spent a ton of time in serious coffee shops from Shanghai to New York with Q graders and baristas with bonafides. Alabaster can stand up to the best of them. The coffees we tried were fantastic. The Rwandan was delicious and the roast complimented the natural expression of the beans. My dad got the Ugandan which was awesome as well. I grabbed a bag of the Salvadoran beans to take home, and it brews up an amazingly clean and interesting cup (I used a V60). One of the better cafes I've visited in the U.S. with a roaster that knows what they're doing. On top of all that, the tahini date banana bread we tried was seriously good and wasn't a premade, mass produced baked good like so many cafes have resorted to in recent years. On top of that, the cafe was beautiful with reclaimed wood tables. We were traveling with our dog and they allowed her in because she was well-behaved. Nice people, awesome cafe, world-class coffee, and seriously good pastries. Keep up the incredible work! I will be back to Williamsport for more.

Alabaster Coffee Roaster and Tea Company had a spacious and warm atmosphere…read more The tables were on the smaller side, but they were easy to move. There were plenty of outlets along the walls, which made it relatively easy to study. There was a lot of foot traffic, but the overall ambiance did not get too rowdy, providing pleasant white noise. There were a few seasonal specials, but otherwise the selection was not very large. The tea selection was rather small, especially considering it is part of their name. Drinks came out extremely quickly. There was a dish tub near the entrance to drop items off after finishing. I tried their seasonal egg nog cappuccino, and it came out lightly warm. The egg foam was not overwhelming and the spiced notes were well incorporated into the drink. It was not too sweet and gave me a pleasant buzz. I hope to see more diverse tea options in the future, but the overall feel and quality of this cafe were great.

I go to backhouse as do many of my friends and associates, anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week to start my day. It is ALWAYS without fail, not only a great experience and a nice, non stressful way to start my day, but the coffee is hands down, the best I've ever had. I drive in 20 minutes almost every day, to experience a little slice of heaven on earth. Great conversations, or just enjoy the sunshine on their deck or in the front yard with my java. They have excellent 10/10 pastries out every day, in addition to crustless quiche, and when I'm not "carnavoring", i get the quiche with crust. The Owners, Ron and June, and all of the staff go above and beyond, to make you feel welcome, and to see that you are having a top notch experience. With that being said, I've seen some people come in and they are just ridiculous. Karen's and Ken's, trying to squeeze them for a Large for the price of a medium, add this add that and so on, and Ron is happy to do that, if you aren't an B***hole, and ask for all of the extra shots and pumps to be free. Come on people! Support mom and pop business, and cut loose of the other 30 cents to get the coffee you want, and don't act like an entitled %#@*& and storm out when you are told that's an extra charge. Try to go to any restaurant and ask for an extra side of 1000 island for example for your burger. They will and should charge you for that. It's not charity. Do yourself a favor, get a punch card while you are there, get it punched each time you buy a coffee, and you will fill it up quickly. Then get a free coffee when you turn it in. Love that idea! I can't say enough how much i love this place. The owners and the staff are just great people. Best coffee shop that i have been to, and i travel the entire USA. Kevin

It's no secret that PA's craft beverage scene is positively booming more than any other state in the country. Situated on the former site of an antique store, Bullfrog Brewery has sat on West 4th Street for 30 years in the vibrant downtown and stands out with both its flagship pub and a dedicated production facility, where my partner, his family, our friends, and I decided on dinner yesterday. A reservation was made for a party of 10. Upon entering, some of us as first-timers were greeted by the staff in a historic building with its brick and brass features along the brewing vats looming in the bar and dining areas. The vibe was warm, relaxed, and full of character. It's the kind of place where one instantly feels at home with indoor and outdoor dining options. Their menu tends to be hearty and comforting cuisine consisting of familiar savors of sandwiches, burgers, appetizers, and wings as well as more unique flavors and options for gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan patrons. For starters, we ordered Fried Pierogi, Roasted Cauliflower, and Sesame Pepper Tuna. Our main meal consisted of a Fried Fish Sandwich, Garlic-Crusted Chicken, Veggie Mac & Cheese, and Frogobello Sandwich, to name a few. The food was cooked well, tasty, and came out in a very timely manner. The staff were friendly and welcoming, checking in at the right intervals and ensuring we had everything we needed. Our server was Michael. It's a well-deserved local institution that makes an indelible mark.
