    I was craving a lavender latte and they didn't have it on Fri (or I didn't notice it), but they certainly had it on Sat. I would've gotten one at Aura, but I prefer to try different places if I can as I was there yesterday. Great brand icon to try to grab you in. Reminds me of the company, Angry Tea Room, which also has a similar catchy icon but sadly no longer seems to be in business after 2021. The latte was on-point and service was quick and friendly. One person took my payment and another gave me the beverage. They work as a good team here and if they don't get along with each other in that small space, they are doing a great job of "faking it" and staying professional.

    We were in the Lancaster Central Market and decided to try their chai. It was good! Will be back when in town!

    Coffee is great, snacks are good, SOME baristas are d!cks. But coffee is worth the stop.

    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!

There was an Asian girl who helped me... and since I'm pregnant I asked her how much caffeine was in the matcha. While she wasn't sure the exact mg she knew down to the grams of how much matcha powder they used down to the ml of milk. I really appreciated her explanation and cheerful help! The matcha was delicious! Strong creamy cup! I think the best I've had in PA! Too bad it's far away... or I guess that's good for my wallet and baby haha.

Plus, lots of wonderful coffee houses, but yeah.. I'll stick to pie, when writing this report. Now, originally, I was giving LPC 4 stars, but customer service received by Mika (hopefully I spelled his name correctly), elevated this review to FIVE stars. One thing I love more than the food, in certain instances is - the customer service. Back to that, in a moment. Ahh... what to get, so many yummy pie choices (blueberry, mixed berries, key lime, chocolate chiffon.. small/large/sliced.. with or without icecream.. want a latte? coming right up! I've been eyeballing that peanut butter pie, for quite some time. Massive slices. Sweet tooth, satisfied and then, some. Peanut butter pie, reminded me of a peanut butter cup meets a 3 Musketeers bar; the filling was smooth, fluffy - loved the ganache topping. Too rich to eat all at once. About 15 minutes later, noticed my steamer wasn't made. Uh oh. Inquired up front. Turned out, it wasn't made. Even though someone dropped the ball, Mika picked it up and turned my frown, right side up, with his warm, can do personality. It was made, perfectly and served with a cheery smile.

    I stopped by here yesterday morning with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on…read morevacation, we try to visit a new coffee shop each morning, and on this day we ended up at Lancaster Pie and Coffee. It is a cute little shop located in the Gallery Row area of downtown Lancaster. The inside is small and seats maybe around 20 people. There is a display case full of their pies right up front, and to get to the bathroom you walk down a hallway where you can see them making the pies, which was a nice touch. For my coffee, I went with a coconut latte, and my family decided to split a 4 inch coconut cream pie. The cashier was especially kind to my kids, which is definitely worth mentioning. I tried the pie first, and it was really good. Both the whipped cream and the coconut custard were excellent and really emphasized the coconut flavor. I also appreciated the toasted coconut on top, which added a bit of crunch and a slightly different flavor. As for the coffee, it was good as well. The coffee flavor was bold and rich up front, followed by a coconut syrup finish that had a nice flavor without being overwhelming. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought both the pie and the coffee were good, and I would love to try more of their pies.

The restaurant is small and quaint with a very friendly staff. I ordered the salted caramel Nutella mocha along with the French toast crêpes and hash browns--everything was delicious. My husband had the Nutella crêpes with bananas and ordered two. The waitress gave him a side eye, and for good reason--they were huge! He could only finish one, so we took the second one to go. At $6 each, the crêpes were an amazing value for the size and quality. We would definitely return.

Green smoothie tasted healthy and very refreshing. Just what I needed. The crepe came out pretty quickly. It was HUGE (so come hungry). I was so tasty, I appreciated how much it tasted like a NYC bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. The service was amazing, friendly, accommodating and attentive. We were seated outside this time and it was still pleasant though I prefer inside seating. There was a long line and we were seating with a 20 minute wait time probably because we were open to outside seating. Overall it was a great time, great for groups and great food!
