    So this place was super chill and had great coffee. I'm not really a person who tries new stuff when it comes to my coffee unless it sounds really really good. But this time I saw a mint mocha coffee that was seasonal and I just had to try it and I'm glad I did cause it was amazing. The 2 people who were working the counter were awesome and pretty fast . I loved that it wasn't super busy and the lighting gave the place a good vibe.

    Wonderful ambience, sustainable practices, and a great location to meet a friend for coffee. Love their pastries. They have some savory options as well!

    Front window lounge & Vanilla latte :)

    Lit is truly a staple of the Southside Bethlehem scene. They support Southside small businesses so well and are a shining example of why small businesses should be supported. They roast their own coffee (Shoutout to Mike & Dan with Monocacy Coffee), bake their own pastries (Shoutout to Lino with Made by Lino), and do both so incredibly well. The pastries are a bit pricey, but that's because they are so far and above any danish from Starbucks or muffin from Dunkin. The coffee is arguably the best I've ever had. I'm super into coffee, I make my own espresso drinks at home, and Lit coffee is always my favorite to use. The staff is so incredibly personal, the owners are true Bethlehem icons, and you will not be disappointed giving Lit a try. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Long live Lit!

    AMAZING options here for vegans!! We tried three of the four vegan options. The pain au chocolat, savory croissant, and sourdough pastelito were all delicious. My oat milk latte was stellar as well. This is my favorite cafe in Bethlehem so far. Excellent place!!!

    Delicious macaroons

    It's about time Bethlehem! A genuine, non-commercialized coffee shop! This little coffee shop is adorable and eclectic . I can imagine the Lehigh University and Moravian College students love this place, how I wish this existed when I was in college. I hope you like the smell of coffee, I mean it is a coffee shop....because they roast their own beans in house. We got to pick the owners brain a bit about the process and it's very cool to watch it happen in real time. Oh, and that smell!!! They have several different rotating roasts daily and make your standard variety of drinks such as lattes, Americano's and cappuccinos. They have some delightful looking pastries to chose from as well. On my visit I sampled too macaroons which were delicious. My iced salted caramel latte was outstanding and not overly sweet. Only one downside here, parking! It's south Bethlehem so you probably already understand the parking situation sucks. Hopefully you can snag a metered street spot close by, it's worth the walk!

    A really pretty Chai Latte and Cinna Pecan bread.

    The best part of this coffee house is the atmosphere and it is pretty wonderful. I spent quite a bit of time here the other day working on my computer, sipping tea and eating a pastry and people watching. Love the cozy couches in the front. They make the people watching easy and it is nice and bright there. I thought my Chai tea to be only okay and the Cinna Pecan bread was really dry and heavy. Kind of wish I had tried one of their cookies instead.

    I wanted to find a coffee shop around a restaurant I ate at for lunch. Using Google Maps, I discovered this place that was super close and was pleasantly surprised upon walking in. It immediately felt super homey and I noticed how the inside is super quirky and cute. The staff is friendly and they made some good coffee. I got a 12 oz. drip with almond milk and was able to add honey and cinnamon for only $2.25--a good price for a hot cup on such a cold day. Overall I definitely enjoyed this place and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

    Don't skip the chocolate chip cookies! Delish!

    This place is called Lit for a reason! While recently visiting Bethlehem, I was in need of an afternoon pick-me-up and turned to Yelp to help me out. Lit seemed nice, so I decided to give them a try. I'm so glad I did! I was able to easily secure nearby street parking and make my way to Lit. Upon entering, I saw several students studying, but it was a quiet and calming environment. If I lived nearby, I would definitely come here to work! I decided to try a coffee and one of their baked goods. You know how at a lot of coffee shops the baked good are subpar, random snacks that you eat out of necessity? That is definitely not the case at Lit. I decided to try their massive chocolate chip cookie on a recommendation from staff. This cookie was BOMB. It had hints of brown butter, large chocolate rounds throughout and a healthy sprinkling of salt to round out the sweetness. I would literally go back just for the cookie! The coffee was equally delicious and affordable. Absolutely try Lit if you're in the need for coffee, a snack, and/or a quiet place to study or work. The staff is warm and welcoming, the environment is well maintained, and they have a variety of options, including gluten free and vegan baked goods.
