If you haven't heard, I've been really into Matcha lately! It's been really hard to find a Matcha that wasn't highly sweetened. Some matches that you order at namebrand coffee shops can have over 30 g of sugar! Elementary Matcha does not seem that sugary! I'm also impressed with their service sometimes I can fill out of place at local coffee shops, maybe I might not fit a typical customer. I don't feel that way at all at elementary! The shop is an acute location and has a very open and unique ambience! read more

What I love about Elementary Coffee, aside from their incredible coffee, is they embrace the role they play in their community. Emblazoned on their large window is information about rent assistance and the phrase BLACK LIVES MATTER. Inside a table contains information and ways to support local LGTBQIA groups. If you care about these things and live in the Harrisburg area, Elementary Coffee gives you a decent jumping off point for getting involved and/or learning more. Now, about that coffee. I was intrigued by Elementary's TOLTEC drink which is their cold brew coffee mixed with habanero cocoa syrup and served with your choice of milk. A brief conversation with the barista convinced me that this was the way to go. As milk alternatives, Elementary offers oat and almond. I went with oat milk. The drink was sweet and smooth with a nice slow after burn. Had I had more time in town, I would've totally gone back for another. It was that good. For the rest of my family, who don't do coffee, it was lemonade and cookies. My wife was blown away by how good their lemonade was. Weeks later and she is still trying to recreate it. My kids crushed the cookie so I'm assuming it was decent. One final thing to mention about Elementary Coffee, it was a hot day during our visit. My kids asked for water. When I inquired about it, the barista pointed us to some bottled water that they were giving out free. Yes, FREE. My visit to Elementary Coffee was perfect. Great drinks, a good connection to the community and friendly, informative employees. read more

Cute little shop. I got espresso..which even though I'm not a fan of floral notes in my espresso..it wasn't overwhelming. So if you're like me I'd say to try it. Really good. The presentation..they have rad stainless steel espresso cups. Also...tons of merch. Stickers, pins, clothing, coffee, tumblers, campfire coffee mugs, aeropress. I'd say all in all Elementary is very well rounded. Plenty of room to have a quick coffee..or work for a few hours. A good coffee shop for the community.

Absolutely phenomenal standalone store in Harrisburg from this Broad Street Market staple. I came in on a dreary weekday afternoon and most of the tables were full of customers working on laptops or chatting with friends. I luckily snagged a spot in the corner. The folks working at the front were helpful in helping me get set up with a coffee and snack. I got: Vegan Chocolate Coffee Donut - great rich chocolate flavor without being too sweet. Definitely a step above the typical vegan dessert, and the only thing that would make it better is having it a bit warmed up! Chocolate Ganache Mocha - HUGE serving with similar rich dark chocolate flavor and the twang of peppermint aftertaste without tasting too artificial. Definitely high quality ingredients that you can taste. I attached the menus and some pics of what I got. 5/5 stars, definitely recommend stopping by! read more

The food was above average and exactly what I have come to expect from slightly upscale American brunch spots. I opted for the kitchen sink breakfast, which is rightfully named since it includes eggs, a thick slice of country ham, biscuit and gravy, and home fried potatoes. Everything was well prepared and really hit the spot after being outside for a few days of camping. I also split an order of the strawberry ricotta pancakes with my wife and was very impressed. I am not usually one to eat pancakes, but these were incredibly light and fluffy. The ricotta complimented the strawberries well, making the dish taste very similar to a strawberry shortcake. Overall, this is a solid brunch spot with great ambiance that I can highly recommend if you are in the Harrisburg area.

Second, I've known that all their beers are top notch, which is why I wanted to come here. I'm not an IPA guy, but the black IPA is some top notch stuff that anyone can appreciate. Not super hoppy, really well balanced. Blonde stout is another superb creation, Lancaster gets some depth into it that many other breweries can't manage. Third, if you want food, they learned from the Food Network and limited their menu to just a few choices, all excellently prepared. I ordered the Angry Mac with gator meat. It had excellent flavor, they made it spicier like I asked, and unlike most places they provided plenty of meat. Great quantity and great taste that I wasn't expecting. I tasted my friend's polenta and it was perfectly balanced with some cheese, not too salty. I could eat that for days. Finally, Eva, our waitress? Wonderful. My friend and I were weighing dessert, we wanted a brownie but not the whole hot fudge brownie sundae. Eva made it work and even split it between heated and cold. What a great server. Props to Eva! To get this quality of food, this quality of beer, this quality of service, and this quality of ambiance all in one? No wonder my friend was willing to go two days in a row. I need a Lancaster Brewing in my town.

I was at their original location many years ago and loved my experience there, so when I saw they have a second location in Harrisburg while on a weekend trip to Hershey/Harrisburg in November, I jumped at the chance to have dinner and a beer there. The Harrisburg location is not half as nice as the original location, as it's in a fairly nondescript building on the side of a major highway. But we nevertheless had a great time there. Our server was Arley who was superb. My girlfriend and I both got flights. Unlike most other breweries I've been to that serve 4 beers to a flight and might charge extra for high ABV beers, Lancaster Brewing Co. serves 6 to a flight and only charges $13. That's a great deal in my experience. My girlfriend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I ordered the lamb burger. Both came out quickly and were top notch. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for their beers at the liquor store.

After Cinco de Mayo…read more It was a rainy day here in Harrisburg, PA. I took a job in Lancaster, but first, I needed my coffee--I think I'm addicted to it now! The day before, I had a great cup from Passenger, but today I stopped by Little Amps in downtown Harrisburg before hitting the road. The atmosphere was excellent; it reminded me of home in LA with the records playing, dim lighting, and vintage decor everywhere. I felt a bit torn, like one coffee house wanted me to stay and the other wanted me to leave, so I decided to "break myself in half" and visit both. After all, two of me is better than one! I highly rate Little Amps for the scenery. The vintage look and the outdoor seating make you feel like you're in Manhattan or Paris, giving you the vibe of three places all in one. If you haven't been to any of these spots yet, save your money and just visit Little Amps to get that "all-in-one" experience. The staff is very inviting and they do offer bagels, though I have to be honest: they aren't quite as good as New York bagels. I know New York bagels inside and out, and they know me! I hope my review helps you decide where to get your next caffeine fix.

It's clear that little amp cares about its community, which beyond great coffee is the best to have. A space where people are safe, welcomed, and supported.

Typically I visit the original Carlisle location of Denim Coffee as it on the way to my parents…read morehouse and more centrally located (its weird to even say that since Carlisle isn't that big). Before heading back to Baltimore after our most recent family visit I realized I had yet to visit Denim Coffee at the Quarry. I decided it was time to remedy that. My wife, two kids, dog and I parked along the street about a block away and walked to Denim Coffee at the Quarry. The street is beautiful, with a decent amount of trees. When we arrived at the Quarry my wife, kids and dog hung out on the large porch outside of the shop while I went in to order. Inside, this version of Denim offers a variety of seating areas and types. There was a brick wall that had comfy couch type seating beside it. Then there were regular tables and chairs. I believe there was a bar running along the window with some bar seats. To the left of the entrance there is a stairway with a landing that has some additional seating on it. At the top of the stairs is a large room that is meant to be reserved. I didn't go too far into it because it seemed to be occupied. After the brief, self guided tour, I went and ordered a Nitro Cold Brew with Oat Milk for myself and a mocha with oat milk for my wife. It's the same great coffee at an unbelievable price point that can be found at all Denim locations. This location was a lot quieter (only four people were in there when I went in and they were all super spread out) than the other Carlisle or Harrisburg location. Makes sense since it is the summer and a lot of college students have left campus. I'd be interested to return during the school year to see what their Sundays are like then. If you find yourself at Dickinson and are looking for incredible coffee at a great price, definitely check out Denim.
