Latte
Jeanne M.

Delicious latte! JT asked me a few questions because he a apparently could tell it was my first time here (definitely won't be my last). I wanted a big cup AND stong!! Sixteen ounce with an extra shot! Just what the tourist wanted.

Hot cappuccino
Elizabeth C.

I love their hot cappuccino! Nice! Definitely will come back again. Strongly recommend to anyone.

Coffee tastes way better then Starbucks!
Kevin M.

Love this place. 5 stars for food and drink. He has great stuff, and very pays close attention to detail to make your drink just the way you like it. Not much room to sit and work/talk is my only deduction. Will be back!

Entrance to a small but awesome coffee shop, Lavazza served here.
Brian D.

JT knows his coffee. He's very friendly and knows a lot about coffee. He not only sources to customers directly, but also Wholesales to a lot of Lancaster County coffee houses. This coffee house is small but great for a pick up and go coffee drinker like me. JT lived in Italy and serves Lavazza coffee. The coffee here is fresh, delicious, and not bitter.

Caramel Vanilla Frappe from JT Java House. #supportlocal #livelocal

First visit here. It's a cute quaint gem in the heart of Neffsville. The owner was very knowledgable and helpful. I ended up making my one of a kind coffee smoothie with vanilla and caramel. It was super delicious and the breakfast sandwich was scrumptious as well. I only wished I lived closer so I could stop in more often.

Iced coffee - triple shot with almond milk to fuel my day!
Carrie G.

Delicious LavAzza coffee served here! Lots of food options and the drive-thru is very convenient! The owner is so nice too! I haven't tried their food there but it always looks and smells good. I especially love that they serve almond milk. As a dairy-free customer I appreciate it! My favorite drink is Hazelnut Coffee with almond milk! So yummy! I also love that they serve flavored LavAzza coffee since I don't use sugar-laden flavored syrups.

See all

I recently went to the Lititz Location. Not bad...tons of space in this location compared to…read morelancaster which is a major positive. The crowd wasn't as bad here. Lancaster location wait times are brutal compared to Lititz! They were serving dollar donuts made to order! These were very good! They serve them in powdered, strawberry, cinnamon sugar and cookies and cream! My favorite was the cookies and cream. The breakfast sandwich was good! They had a special bagel with scrapped and a hashbrown on it. I tried switching out the scrapped for bacon and instead got charged extra for bacon, extra for cream cheese, and extra for a hash brown instead of swapping out the meats on the dutchy sandwich. For two breakfast sandwiches, the cost was 27 dollars. This did not include any drinks or anything. I dont think the quality of the breakfast sandwich matches the price. To break it down the bacon egg and cheese was 11, the other sandwich came out to 16 dollars... Tons of potential here! I understand the prices of everything is going up, but compared to some other breakfast sandwich places in the area, this one is trending on the higher side.

I'll never go here again. Listen up!…read more First of all, I went in to get a bagel w/ cream cheese and a coffee for me and my wife on Sat @ 8:30 am on 11/15/25 So, I ordered 2 coffee w/ 2 bagels with cream cheese from the front register clerk (dont know name), but (who had nose rings and piercings all on her face, again, I don't know her name.) And although I have nothing against piercings, I have no other way to identify her. She seemed very unconcerned about me standing there waiting to place my order as she was trying to train somebody at the front desk and it took her about five minutes to acknowledge me. So I ordered and stood there for about 10 minutes, whereas I would like to have gotten my coffee cups and poured my coffee. The coffee wasn't worth drinking tasted like Maxwell House or Folgers wasn't even worth drinking. Also, I ordered the bagel toasted and when it got handed to me it wasn't really toasted and finally I got my coffee cups and went to the cheap lil coffee dispenser and it was OUT of coffee ...... really??? so I had to get her attention again and say excuse me but there's no coffee and she was like surprised oh...... really.... ??? So I finally got my coffee and then guess what, there was NO creamer... WTF. The the clerk acted like she had no idea what was going on. The coffee was out. The creamer was out, I finally got my bagel and It wasn't even toasted, so it was chewy and it took a 10-15!mins to get. Again, wtf I really didn't feel like she cared too much. I thought I deserved a little more attention since a bagel was $3.50 /ea and the coffee was $2.50/ea or $12 for 2 bagels and 2 coffees that I should at least expect something halfway decent. That is not what I got and I certainly won't be going back and wouldn't Recommend you go here unless you want this kind of service. Sorry, but that's the truth and my experience.

I can't tell you how disheartening this is when you want what you want.

Their jalapeno cheddar, packs a powerful punch of heat. They have sweet and savory bagels. I'm a creature of habit and as such, always gets the Long Island Lox - capers are extra. Some tips I'll share with you: go during the week, because the weekends, especially Sundays, are madness. If you're a fan of lox as well, if you ask for it open faced, they'll not make it into an overwhelming glob of cream cheesy lox sandwich. The rice krispies bar - GET IT; it's so good. Also, these folks don't skimp on the lox nor the capers, Yesss!! I do find flaw with transferring of communication between customer, to cashier to the sandwich makers. Several times, I've asked for my bagel to be toasted twice; this never happens. I have asked for items to be omitted from my sandwich and when received, they're still there. Also, I find their cream cheese to be weak, in flavor. I'll often get a dozen, but purchase the cream cheese elsewhere. Don't forget to request freezer bags; they're a must.

Rustler's Bagel -- Mechanicsburg, PA…read more I meant to get here last week--woke up too late. Who would've thought 1 p.m. is too late? Place closes at 1. I rolled out of bed around 12:30... learned that the hard way. This time, I made it. Pulled up around 12:20, got in line, ordered a sunrise bagel sandwich with cream cheese on a tomato basil bagel. Sat down and just took it in. This feels like a classic Sunday spot--families coming in after church, people rolling in a little rough from the night before. It's got that "local institution" energy. I hadn't been here in about five years, but I remembered it being good. First thing--greeted by a big dude behind the counter. Super kind. Like, disarmingly kind. One of those small interactions that just melts your heart a little bit. The place itself--covered in signage, memorabilia, history. Feels like something straight out of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Classic Central PA spot doing New York-style bagels. Hard to beat that combo. Now the sandwich Overall, really good. But I'll be honest, there was one bite where the bagel texture wasn't what I wanted. Not burnt, just a little firmer than I expected. I was imagining something softer, fluffier--something that melts a bit more. That said... once I got into it? It took me somewhere. Like full-on flow state. Fat Steve mode engaged, Bear in a trash can energy. Just locked in, devouring this thing. That's the goal, honestly. That's when you know it's working, when the menu item puts you in an altered state. I had to wait a week to get here, and it lived up to what I remembered. Places like this--scattered across towns--you just know they matter. Rustler's Bagel in Mechanicsburg? It's one of those spots. Five out of five.

In all, we would be lucky to find a place like Ressler's every time we are looking for a bagel while on the road. We also enjoyed the staff, and the order/pickup system moved quickly--so don't worry if the line is long when you arrive! She Said: I had high hopes as we saw the many people lining up at Ressler's as we pulled in the parking lot, and I wasn't disappointed. After many sad pumpernickel bagels at other bagel shops during our travels, I had decided that it was too difficult a flour to successfully work into a good bagel. After watching how things worked during our first 5 minutes in line, I decided that Ressler's had a chance of doing it well. My leap of faith was rewarded with a bagel with perfect texture from the slight crunch of the exterior to the lovely interior chew. The rye flavor was excellent, and I also appreciated the cream cheese which didn't have the waxiness that I've found in other cream cheese products. Next time I'll order my bagel with light cream cheese because they are generous with it... and I really hope there will be a next time soon! Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me today!

First thing to note: there's currently no indoor seating. There are a few tables outside, but since it was cold, we ended up eating in the car which wasn't ideal. Ordering is done on tablets at the counter, and they have racks showing all the bagel flavors for the day, which I love because you can actually see your options. I got the steak & egg rack on a pretzel bagel with guac, and peppers/onions... really good. Flavorful, filling, and definitely the standout. Ryan got a ham breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel. It was good, but the jalapeño flavor didn't really come through, so it felt a little underwhelming. That bagel would be better on its own or paired with something else. We also grabbed a vanilla iced coffee and a Cinnamon Toast Crunch bagel, and everything came out to a little over $20, which is pretty average for breakfast around here. They're a local spot with limited hours (think breakfast/early lunch only), so timing matters and so does getting there before they run low on certain bagels. Overall: good food, decent pricing, and worth checking out just maybe plan ahead unless you're cool having a breakfast in the car moment.

Their smoothies are off the roof, very yummy without lots of sugar added. Hits the spot every time. They have some tables outside if you choose to hangout and eat your bagel while chatting w a friend or two.

They serve it hot so I suggest to find your spot and eat right away, I made a mistake of taking home my bagel and it just wasn't as good as when I ate it there.
