My standard order is an iced latte with cherry syrup (although a latte with the peanut butter syrup is also delicious). I've tried cherry lattes elsewhere, but Mean Cups is the best. Nice and sweet, just how I like it, and you can actually taste the cherry. There're plenty of seating options, both indoors and out, and a restroom for customers. The service is quick (and not at all mean!). There's plenty of parking in the lot in front of the store. I do wish they had more food options, but there's not much aside from a small selection of baked goods. Luckily, there are plenty of other options in the same line of shops where you can grab some food to have with your coffee.

I typically go at least once a week before work. My order is 1 large hot latte and 1 large iced latte. I like to drink the iced latte before school then fill the cup up with ice and pour the (now room temp) other latte over it. That's how much I love this coffee. The only draw back is that the food situation leaves something to be desired. They usually have some sort of baked good/pastry in the display case, but I always eat breakfast before I go so I've never tried it.

The line can get long but it moves quicky. They offer a pretty basic menu of food options and standard coffee shop offerings. I picked up a bag of their keystone blend. It was fantastic. The bag didn't really open well. But I ended up just putting it into a plastic baggie. I did love that they offered me a free drip coffee with the purchase of the coffee beans. The bags are pricey at $20 a bag. But it truly is a good brew.

Well, I'm stuck here in Harrisburg for now, but it's okay. I love getting out and traveling, so I…read moretook a job in Lancaster. Ever since I became a truck driver, I've been a coffee drinker. I recently decided to turn in my CDL and head back into the office, which allows me more time to get my workouts in and perfect my look. Normally, when I pick up something new, I do a lot of research; I dive all in. I'm glad I "dived into" coffee. When you're a truck driver, you usually hit truck stops where the coffee isn't great. However, being diverse and cultured, I started trying coffee in Latin communities. I noticed they used special machines, which sparked my interest. I eventually started visiting specialty coffee shops. Most of the places I get food from don't open until 10:00 AM, but coffee shops are open much earlier. That's how I found Passenger Coffee here in Lancaster. I knew it was going to be a great spot the moment I walked in; it was clean, inviting, and smelled amazing. A friendly employee greeted me with a smile, and their pastry display looked great. I told her I was new to coffee--only about two months in--but that I was enjoying trying different kinds. I explained how I normally take my coffee and mentioned that the last time I had one, it had foam on top. She gave me a small coffee to try, as well as one with foam (a latte or cappuccino). I think that's all I want to drink from now on! I used to make fun of people who said, "Don't talk to me until I've had my first cup," but now I finally understand why. I highly recommend this place for the excellent customer service and the cleanliness of the location. The pricing is affordable, too. I hope my review helps!

I stopped into Sips Cafe in York with my sister while we were on our way to a funeral, and I was…read morehonestly pleasantly surprised by how cute this place is! The whole atmosphere is very feminine, with lots of pink, plants, natural light, and just a really fresh, lively feel. It seems like a great spot to work for a few hours, catch up with a friend, or have a little coffee date. Maybe I'm a bit biased because my whole family is from York, although I don't live there. Growing up and visiting York, I always remember parts of the area feeling a little older and run down, so walking into Sips and seeing such a bright, modern, plant-filled space was a really nice surprise. I ordered a strawberry vanilla matcha with lavender cold foam. One thing I really liked is that they have a bunch of different flavors and can apparently turn any of them into a cold foam, which gives you a lot of options for customizing your drink. One thing to note for matcha people: this isn't the type of place where you see them whisking ceremonial matcha to order. I watched the matcha for my drink being poured from a container, so it was clearly prepared ahead of time. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, especially for a higher-volume café, but worth mentioning if the preparation of your matcha matters to you. The biggest issue was the wait. It took about 15 minutes from the time we finished ordering and paid until we had both of our drinks. They seemed to be making drinks one at a time, so my sister received her coffee first and my matcha came another three or four minutes later. I got the impression they may simply be understaffed. On the positive side, my matcha was around $7, which felt pretty inexpensive compared to what I'm used to paying. The other downside was the temperature inside. It was HOT. The AC was definitely running because I could feel cold air when I stood directly over a vent, but as soon as I moved away from it, I was sweating and pretty uncomfortable. I couldn't imagine sitting there drinking a hot coffee for very long. That said, everyone we interacted with was very pleasant, and the café itself was clean, tidy, and genuinely beautiful. I also got the impression that Sips is relatively new, so some of these things may just be growing pains while they work out the kinks. Overall, I'm rooting for them! The space has so much potential and brings something really cute and refreshing to York. Get the temperature under control and improve the turnaround time on drinks, and I think Sips could be a really great little café.

I really appreciated that they have a menu where the kids can order something as well, which isn't something you see at every coffee shop and makes it a convenient stop for families. The drive-thru was very busy, so they clearly have a loyal customer base. Inside, the space is much larger than I expected, but there isn't a lot of seating, which makes it less appealing if you're hoping to sit and enjoy your drink. The coffee had a noticeable molasses flavor us. While it was unique, it wasn't really my favorite style of coffee. It wasn't bad, just not something I'd go out of my way for. Overall, it's a decent place to grab a coffee if you're in the area, especially if you're using the drive-thru or have kids with you.
