    Cinnamon maple latte, and chocolate chip muffin
    Brittany E.

    Such a great place. I love the atmosphere. It has fantastic drinks and an ever changing selection.

    Dessert case at 8am!

    I am such a fan of this place - it came highly recommended by a coworker and I've got to say this is going to be part of my morning drive to work all the time when I'm on site. The coffee, the ambiance, and the service are all top notch. Dirty chai - I got this after a 5 hr sleep night and needed some extra zing...I usually don't drink coffee but the barista recommended this just so it's one step up from my usual tea consumption. The chai mix was so good I would just do this in the future and the dirty chai really did the job and kept me cool on a 95 degree day AND awake. Thank you idea coffee! It'll set you back around $6. Breakfast burrito - it was warmed and toasted nicely, but could have done with some hot sauce. Definitely kept me full on that same exhausting work day. London fog - I wasn't as much of a fan of this one just because it was slightly watered down, but I still got the nice bergamot coming through from the earl grey tea. Matcha latte with lavender vanilla syrup - this was incredible. I had a taste and it was so good. My coworker said it tasted like melted ice cream in the best way. Definitely for people who like their matcha lattes sweet! Getting this next time. Also the paintings on the wall were so beautiful - they feature local artists and the barista was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

    Cute, quaint coffee shop located very close to a family's home so I come quite frequently. Hours have changed - 7am it opens, and closed Mondays. Learned that the hard way this past Monday when I went for a coffee! I think the coffee is some of the best in the area - plus It's convenient, the people who work there are kind, and so overall it has earned the five stars. I hope it keeps its hours during the winter - fingers crossed!

    My friend and I were looking for a quiet and cozy place to catch up and this place absolutely fit the bill! There were only three other people in the cafe when we walked in. We were both enticed by the baked goods. My friend ordered a coffee cake muffin while I went with a blueberry muffin. I also ordered a iced chai tea with almond milk. The muffin was so fresh and absolutely divine! I also enjoyed my iced chai and found the ratio of chai to almond milk to be perfect. The customer service was really great and my friend and I had a really nice time catching up until the place closed for event. This is a great place to go if you want to catch up with a friend, study, curl up with a good book, or grab some food and/or beverages to go! I will definitely return.

    Food and service are execellent for central PA!!…read more Love they have a seasonal option for their menu and several Benedict options for brunch! I had the Nantucket Benedict with lobster bacon and avocado with home fries... I would eat that everyday if I could :) We love getting the ube matcha or a Chai latte whenever we come here!! Friendly staff :)

    Stopped for brunch after our Trader Joe's visit. Plenty of people waiting outside to be seated, but…read morewe were told it would only be 20 to 25 minutes. Although we were able to take a seat immediately at the hightop table which we chose to do. As we peruse the menus, we were greeted promptly with glasses and a fresh carafe of water. Waitress came by within three minutes or so to take our orders for coffee and brunch. We both appreciated the larger sized coffee mugs. I had the Ethiopian Gucci French press, which was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend had a latte which was equally delicious. I opted for the rise and shine with poached eggs, dress greens the waffle and ham. The eggs were absolutely perfect. The greens were good, except there really wasn't any citrus dressing on them, but it worked out with my meal. The Belgian waffle was light and fluffy came with butter, which was more than enough for me. My friend appreciated the hollandaise on her Benedict. She said it was very good. Overall the meal was very satisfying. We had prompt service. The food came out rather quickly. It was hot. The waitress checked on us periodically without being overbearing. We were able to pay via QR code from the receipt, which was nice. We were in and out in about an hour. Has ample parking. Easy in and out of the lot onto 11/15 . There is seating inside while you're waiting for a table and a little bit of seating in the vestibule. They make a quick turnaround of tables. I would recommend it for brunch. Definitely try to get there earlier than 10 o'clock. Overall was a pretty good dining experience.

    Probably the funniest experience I had while visiting Mechanicsburg…read more My waiter comes to the table, and I ask for a drink menu. He looks at me and says, "Thea is a BYOB restaurant." Before I start to process that statement, the table next to me says, "Don't worry! We have a few bottles of Napa Valley wine. Here, take a glass!" Now that is some City of Brotherly Love vibes! And Thea itself is a beautiful restaurant. Very contemporary, stylish, and modern. But honestly, the hospitality from the table next to me is what made the experience unforgettable. It's late, I have a glass of wine and it's my last night in Harrisburg. I want to have a good meal in a nice restaurant. For my dinner entree I order the Carne Asada Hanger Steak. Man.. Chef AnnMarie cooked that steak to perfection! Tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. Every bite was packed with flavor which defines Carne Asada. A grilled hanger steak prepared with traditional Mexican-style seasoning and a blend of citrus, garlic, herbs, and spices. Chef AnnMarie definitely brought her A-game to this steak! *The guac on the bottom I pushed away. Thea, I'm not sure when I'll be back but I'll come hungry and bring my own wine.

    My husband and I stopped in after our son's soccer game in the area, and we're so glad we did. As…read moresomeone who's particular about food sourcing--especially with beef and lab-grown meat concerns--finding a genuine farm-to-table spot like this has been a challenge. Thea delivered on every promise. It's a smaller, cozy spot, and it's BYOB, which was a nice touch. They also had patio seating with live music the night we went, which made for a great atmosphere. The service was stellar from the moment we sat down, attentive without being intrusive. We split the lollipop lamb chop appetizer and the blackened halibut tacos, and both were incredible. The lamb was some of the freshest I've ever had--tender, juicy, and not gamey at all. The halibut tacos had a nice kick of spice, and the fish was cooked perfectly, with none of that frozen or processed taste you sometimes get. You can taste the freshness and quality in every bite, with just enough seasoning to complement each dish but never overpowering it.

    Nour Coffee Shop was an absolute delight and quickly became one of my favorite café discoveries…read more Everything we ordered was exceptional, making it a spot I'd happily return to again and again. We tried the mocha, cappuccino, almond croissant, and fresh orange juice. The coffee was outstanding--rich, smooth, and expertly prepared. The mocha struck the perfect balance of chocolate and coffee, while the cappuccino was beautifully crafted with a velvety texture. The almond croissant was fresh, flaky, and packed with flavor, and the orange juice was a refreshing complement to the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal place to relax, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a quality cup of coffee. If you're a coffee lover, Nour is a must-visit. Great drinks, delicious pastries, and an overall experience that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.

    I wish I lived next door! The people here are the sweetest. Our order is always correct, fresh, &…read morehot. They have the best Chai Latte in the area. It feels like a cafe in a big city with a Neon Sign, art work, & dark walls and it's a cozy relaxed vibe. Seating indoor & out. Different types of seating too like comfy couches, low tables, & high top counter.
