This cafe is connected to the Hershey Story Museum & also contains the Chocolate Lab for the museum (where you can pour chocolate & create your own designs). The cafe closes early at 2 pm so plan your nearby activities accordingly if you wish to come here. My sister ordered a hot latte & she got me a honey lavender iced latte. We both agreed this was the best coffee we have ever tasted. Neither one of us purchased any meals or pastries, therefore I'm unable to express my opinion on the matter. The baristas were nice & efficient.

Second time visiting this establishment while training for the Army at Fort Indiantown Gap. Dinner with the family (wife and two kids, 8 &5) on first visit was phenomenal. The second time didn't disappoint. Enjoyed the Reuben with a classmate who also ordered the Rueben. Taking home the Regular (Huge) Stromboli and Boston Creme Pie (second time I snagged the last one). Prices are reasonable and staff is always friendly. Glad my wife found this place!

Absolutely amazing food and service! The waitresses are wonderful! Clean bathrooms, amazing coffee, calming music and the best reuben sandwich i've ever had! If you love supporting small local businesses please check this place out!!

Special: Fresh salmon, Cajun style, with broccolini. Not very spicy, but *perfectly* cooked and delicious.

After traveling from Buffalo with the family to visit Herschey, and eating nothing but chain restaurant food for a day and a half, I was desperate for REAL food. This definitely fit the bill. We were greeted by warm and friendly staff members who seemed happy to be working here, seated immediately, and served quickly. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and really sweet to my kids. The cafe is small and intimate inside, very nice but casual and inviting to a couple of bedraggled and sunburned parents with two overexcited children. Our meals were all fantastic - refresh salmon, barbecue chicken with a Caesar salad, kids french bread pizza, and homestyle kids' mac and cheese. We cleaned our plates. As the restaurant was a little past closing with only a couple of other patrons remaining, we didn't stay for dessert, but I was a little sad about that when I saw dessert being served to the next table. It looked great! Please give this charming and authentic little cafe a try, you won't regret it. My only regret is that we're leaving town before they open in the morning!

I feel like I've been to 99% of the restaurants in Hummelstown, Hershey, Palmyra... but for whatever reason had never come here. Super glad that changed last night! Big portions. Onion rings were tasty, the garlic bread was yummy and came with both marinara and alfredo sauce to dip it in, and the quesadilla was surprisingly delicious. We definitely ordered too much food, so by the time the calzone came out we were already full, and brought 95% of it home to the kids. Enjoyed it so much, that we ordered takeout for lunch today. Turkey & Ham with fries was all very tasty, and huge! Will definitely be back!

We passed Lisa's Cafe on a Saturday we were thrifting in the area. By looking at the full parking lot at breakfast we were certain we'd want to hit them up on our way back through. It was about 11:30 when we stopped for lunch, although we were really craving breakfast. While I was disappointed to learn breakfast isn't available all day (darn!) we were promptly greeted and seated. The hostess was very friendly and although a little cluttered (in a good way) the whole vibe was very homey. Our server was equally friendly and patient with us as we struggled to make our lunch selections. Ultimately hubby had a burger and I a Rachel. Both were cooked well and of large portion size. I was craving a little more crunch from the homemade slaw on my sandwich but it wasn't bad. I also had a side of their Italian pasta salad which contained raw broccoli. I, personally would have preferred zucchini in lieu of the broccoli but it was still very good. We shared a piece of their homemade peanut butter pie for dessert. It was huge and the perfect size for sharing. Did I mention it was delicious/!? Overall we were very happy and full when we left and thought this place had alot of charm and was exceptionally clean. At check out we were given a token for spending $20 which is their form of loyalty. Refer to the picture for loyalty perks. They also have a discount for ordering online. Lisa's Cafe is a little gem and we'd love to hit them up for breakfast sometime if we're ever in the area again. 4 stars because this is the kind of place that is screaming to have breakfast served all day; at least on weekends. The slaw was a bit on the runny side, and I thought broccoli in pasta salad wasn't the best choice. Also because if you add meat to a salad the price is high for a salad, but overall a fan!

This is my favorite place to eat out. The petite mignon and crab cake is what I often choose but have enjoyed many of their other choices.

Yummiest Reuben I've ever had. Loads of corned beef and served on thick swirled pumpernickel/rye bread. Plenty of kraut on it too!

Some of the best customer service we have ever experienced!…read more We had been at a ChocolateTown wrestling tournament since 7 AM and had an incredibly long day. By the time we were finally done, most restaurants were already closed. We called this restaurant close to 10 PM, and from the moment the hostess answered the phone, we were treated with such kindness and genuine hospitality. We arrived around 10 PM, and not once did we feel like we were an inconvenience or that anyone was trying to rush us out the door. Quite the opposite. From the hostess, to Chef Suli, to our waitress, everyone was absolutely amazing. They were warm, personal, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. What impressed us even more was the food. Even though it was late, nothing felt rushed. The food was prepared with care, and the food was absolutely amazing! You have to order the Babe's wings, the crab stuffed pretzel,and brisket sandwich with the homemade potato chips everything was delicious ! After such a long, exhausting day, this was exactly what we needed. While great food is always important, it's service like this that truly leaves a lasting impression. We live 2 hours away and aren't able to come often, but this experience was so memorable that next year it will definitely be on our must-visit list. A huge thank you to Chef Suli, our waitress, the hostess, and the entire team for taking such great care of us. You turned the end of a very long day into such a wonderful experience. Truly exceptional hospitality.

It tasted better than anything i've ever had in New Jersey! The service was also incredible, it was fast, attentive and friendly! Our server was Bree (not sure how it's spelled) she is so sweet and was able to make us laugh the whole time! Also don't even get me started on the ambiance, the string lights, the fire place, this place was honestly amazing. We went here twice for breakfast some of the things we got were biscuits and gravy, which was a 10/10, s'mores cinnamon roll 10/10, mimosa flight 10/10, breakfast burrito 10/10. The hashbrowns were also the perfect amount of crispy every time and lastly their pumpkin spice lattes were amazing! The service was amazing and honestly people that complained about the wait, atleast it was worth the wait. Thank you so much for the awesome experience i hope to come back soon!!

Brisket Burnt End Scramble -- 9/10…read more This was a seriously loaded breakfast. The plate had tender, smoky brisket burnt ends mixed with scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, BBQ sauce and crispy onions, all over a generous portion of hash browns, with toast on the side. The combination of the smoky brisket, creamy eggs, melted cheese and crunchy fried onions gave every bite something different. The burnt ends were definitely the star of the plate, and the portion was large enough that you won't leave hungry. The Pumpkin Spice Latte was a great match for the breakfast. It had espresso, pumpkin spice and milk, topped with pumpkin cold foam and whipped cream. The cold foam really made this one stand out. Instead of being just another overly sweet pumpkin drink, you get that creamy pumpkin flavor

Ordered takeout having an overnight stop in Hershey, PA and got take out. Bartender answered my…read morecall for my order. Was pleasant and helpful. This restaurant could be a pass by which would be a HUGE mistake being located under the Howard Johnson by Wyndham Hershey. It's a side entrance that goes downstairs. The ambiance is unique in a good way. Not overly bright. Has a bar area and dining area. I went to the bar to get the take out. Chatted with a local who retired from Hershey "Kevin" awesome guy. And got my food to go back to my room. Food was a solid 5 of 5. Only wrinkle was I was told 20-25 minutes and it was more like 40-45 but I chatted with Kevin to pass the time waiting. I'd most certainly go if ever in Hershey again. I didn't take pictures but had blackened shrimp tacos. A bar pretzel soft with honey mustard and a cheese dip.

Once seated our waiter approached the table to take our orders within 10 mins. They had red and white balloons all over and it was really nice inside. I was surprised it was at the bottom of the Howard Johnson but inside changed my mind. We ordered the crab dip, halibut and filet minion. All three were good. Ended with a salted Carmel brownie, which was also very good. I would recommend this restaurant.
