What didn't they do right! I had breakfast here - the BLT with avocado, egg, bacon, tomato and lettuce on toasted wheat bread. It was sheer perfection in appearance, flavor, and execution. The lettuce was thick and beautiful, the tomato was ripe and perfect, the bacon was so flavorful and it was simply delicious! The service was good and my coffee was excellent too. I highly recommend!!!! read more

great drinks and quick bites, welcoming atmosphere. support local! I've been back multiple times and never had a bad experience.

Slate Cafe is the kind of spot you wander into for a quick coffee and somehow end up staying longer than planned because the vibe is just -that- good. They've got a great lineup of coffee options, everything from classic pours to fun seasonal specials, and their smoothies are the real deal . (If it's fall, don't miss the Cinnamon Chai Latte!) They have all day breakfast (bagels, French toast, pancakes, bacon, baked oatmeal, etc.) as well as lighter grab n go options (yogurt parfait, quiche and even protein balls). The ambiance inside is cozy, stylish, and welcoming, helped along by genuinely friendly service that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Parking in Lititz can sometimes be a bit of a sport, but Slate has you covered with easy parking around back, which is a lifesaver when the street spots are full. read more

Really solid coffee and baked goods! There are many options for full meals as well so it's not just a coffee spot. Good for a quick bite at lunch. Lots of tables to eat in or take out. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about allergies. Also Morgan makes a mean coffee read more

Went today because the description of the food sounded good. We went in, didn't know if they were going to seat us or not. We finally just ordered, my husband got Slate Wrap and I got the Bi-Bim Breakfast. My husband said the wrap/panini was bland. Mine was meh. A bowl of hash browns, sautéed onions, kimchi, spinach, egg, and bacon crumbles. The kimchi was sour hot and the rest was just meh. The staff (2) were nice, however they never asked if everything was okay. They never came back to refresh the bottomless coffee. There were no condiments at all on the table. You had to clean off your table as if you were eating at Sheetz. The ambiance was typical for tourists not locals. Overpriced, bland food, geared toward tourists, knowing they'll never come back, we won't either. read more

Cozy little Cafe in Lititz with ample parking in the lot behind. Awesome staff, the owner/manager was super friendly when I walked in. She gave me a quick breakdown of offerings & allowed me to sit at this dope little table w/ AC after I placed my order. I love that they serve breakfast all day. The Scramble Time is where it's at. #madewithlove .... I plan on trying the Ice Vietnamese Coffee next time I'm in the area. Guys - in case you're wondering this is the type of establishment you bring your girlfriend to. read more

We were mosying around downtown lititz and I needed caffeine and this was the closest caffeine place and I'm so glad we stopped in! Their seasonal drinks were so good. I got the pistachio raspberry late and my fiancé got the blueberry ginger espresso tonic and they were both so delicious. The staff was friendly! The cafe itself was warm and welcoming. Definitely a happy accident! read more

Amazing food, incredible service, wonderful atmosphere. Grilled cheese is the best in town. You can add kimchi on anything. Go here all the time because the owner is very friendly. read more

We stopped in for a quick breakfast before hitting the airport. It was early, and we were the only people in the cafe. Food was great! Two of us ordered a breakfast sandwich; I think it was a grilled cheese breakfast sandwich on the menu? That was a hit, as was the two eggs and toast combo. Servings were substantial, but not too much, and there was plenty of room in the establishment for our baby stroller, which we had been having trouble with in some of the restaurants. Super cute place, bright and cheery, with a good menu for a quick meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

Slate Cafe offers a diverse breakfast menu, from basic items to very creative dishes. Having eaten at many breakfast and lunch cafes in Lancaster County, we can confidently say that Slate has the #1 best coffee in the area. Very friendly staff make the experience top notch. read more

Cute café that makes fantastic lattes. 2 medium hot lattes came to $10.18, not a bad at all! I like buying at local places so definitely make a stop here. They have other treats as well. Bathroom as well. Parking in the street, but it wasn't hard to find a spot. read more

Cute coffee shop on Main Street in Lititz. On the street parking (metered, $1/hr). Good selection of teas and coffee, and pastries.

Came here a couple times now, the food was really good. I got the West Coast Wrap, my sister got the BLT. Both were really good, there was a decent amount of bacon on the BLT, and the warmth and creamy-ness of the wrap was amazing! For coffee, we both got iced lattes (with whole milk). They were nothing special. She got the Maple spice latte while I got the gingerbread latte. The gingerbread syrup was slightly bitter and overpowering, making it hard to enjoy the drink or to even finish it. I docked a star only for the suboptimal watery coffee. I could have made this with my espresso machine at home. Could be better. Maybe I'll try it with oat milk next time to make it creamier and more rich. I won't give up on you Slate, I'll be back for more wraps and yummy treats. read more

We visited this Cafe because we liked the menu. Most of the other places in Lititz are standard American Fair and or serve alcohol which is something we try and avoid. I wanted it to be awesome and somewhere I will return but I'm not sure. The first thing I noticed when I walked in is the acoustics are horrible. The owners should really try and add some items to help absorb the sound. Exchanging the metal chairs with wood and maybe adding some plants might go a long way. My mom ordered a vegetarian wrap... Spinach for the win or something like that was the name. She liked it but it came with potato chips. I feel like they're trying to offer a healthy menu but then they put potato chips on the wrap. She enjoyed the rap and said it was delicious. To my eyes it looked a little small for the price. I ordered a salad with chicken. I actually had to pick some of the greens because there was some slimy stuff in there, not a lot but just enough to be annoying. Salad wasn't that big for $12 or whatever the price was. We may go back at some point but next time we go to Lititz we will probably try something else. read more

Enjoyed brunch here yesterday and everything was excellent! We had the cinnamon raisin French toast, breakfast BLT, and an oatmeal pancake with bananas. The strawberry smoothie was tasty as was the coffee and hot tea. We will return the next time we are in town! read more

We only did a quick stop for smoothies but they were really good and the place is cute! We'll be back!

Cute spot along Main Street in downtown Lititz. We came for a lighter lunch, and I had seen that they had acai bowls which fit the bill. The acai bowl was just OK, a little thinner consistency than I prefer. I give them props for the presentation. Seating is limited, but our group of 6 was able to assemble a few smaller tables and make it work. I didn't find the service to be great, cashier wasn't all that friendly with our group, which ended up spending a pretty decent amount between the acai bowls, lattes and canned drinks. read more

I was so excited to try this cafe as I've been following them since their beginning on Instagram. I was a little disappointed for a few reasons. The location was much smaller than I expected they also didn't have as many food choices as I thought they did, which was fine but the food that was served was pretty lackluster. We went in and ordered and right after us a bunch of people came in so our order got delayed and they almost forgot two of our items which we had been waiting for as they started to help new patrons who had come in. The girl taking my order asked if I wanted my cookie warmed and I never got my cookie, the other girl realized it and then gave it to me but it wasn't warmed. I was asked if I wanted chips or fruit with my sandwich and for fruit thinking I would have a nice little fruit cup and I got a few grapes and one slice of orange. My sandwich was decent which was the spinach and goat cheese mostly because goat cheese is always a win. I didn't taste any spinach really. My friend got an omelette and I don't know how they cooked it but it looked fake it was too perfectly shaped and didn't seem to have anything inside of it. I give them kudos for being a cafe that serves food but the quality could be stepped up. read more

We arrived to Slate at 11am, there was no line so we walked up and ordered two large lattes. The young man behind the counter interrupted me in the middle of my order to talk to the guy who had walked in behind me about some inside joke he and his co-worker had about decaf. He apologized for interrupting me, not a big deal, I shrugged it off and kept on with my order. Two large lattes with oat milk was $13.25. We sat down to wait for our drinks to be prepared, however, we noticed about 7-8 drink orders were fulfilled to customers who had come in AFTER we had ordered. After waiting till 11:25am, I finally walked up to the counter to ask for an ETA on when our drinks would be ready. The young man looked at me with a puzzled look and asked what I had ordered, I reminded him two lattes. He informed me that he must have lost my ticket. He apologized and the barista proceeded to make our order. The drinks were good however after waiting nearly half an hour for drinks I would have expected a refund or discount of some sort. Luckily it was Sunday and we didn't have a lot going on, however if this were on a work day I would have been quite cross. Overall I'm giving two stars as they made eye contact with us multiple times as we stared at them behind the counter talking small talk I guess assuming we were just there to enjoy the ambiance. Might give them another shot but with 5-6 other decent coffee shops around Lititz,it might not be for a while. read more

I visited this cute little cafe the other day and it is so cute and cozy! The baristas are very friendly. They seem to have a lot of options for customizing your drinks whether it be flavors or dietary needs. My sister got a strawberry banana smoothie which she said was delicious. I got a vanilla iced latte which was also very delicious. It was the perfect blend of sweet and coffee flavor. Definitely coming back the next time I'm in Lititz! read more

This place is adorable. I wish they had a location in downtown Lancaster as well. The shop has a good amount of seating- there are two tables for two guests outside and my friend and I brought our two golden retrievers for breakfast. We only tried the green açaí bowl but enjoyed it. I look forward to going back with my husband for a breakfast or lunch date. You can also grab a healthy dinner here Update: I came here this morning and ordered one open-faced sandwich. The sandwich took an hour to come out and the bacon was not fully cooked. The teenager who took over the cashier for the manager was very polite but the cafe was not packed and an hour for a breakfast sandwich is unreasonable. I would not bring my family back. read more

Yum! Excellent mocha latte. Wow! Their baked good are yummy too. Such a quaint place with cozy seating. Very welcoming.

It was recommended that I try Slate Cafe and I came here for lunch today. I wanted a turkey sandwich but wanted to substitute mayo for the honey mustard that was in the description of the sandwich. The counter help said they don't have mayo, they don't offer mayo. What the heck? I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and was asked if I wanted chips or a fruit plate. I choose the fruit plate. See the photo. Very sad looking mostly loose grapes and an orange slice. Should have had the chips . The coffee tastes good but came out of a pump carafe and was tepid at best. I was very disappointed w/ my visit. I hope it was an anomaly but I won't be back to find out because there are so many other options. read more

I love them. They are so kind and so understanding. I appreciate them. They know my order by heart. They know I'm allergic to gluten and dairy. Everything there is homemade. Not only that but they asked me to send over recipes that are gluten free and vegan. I have never done that for a restaurant before. I'm shook with their customer service. read more

So I have to say - this is becoming my favorite little spot to grab lunch or coffee. I've gone in twice since my initial visit a couple of weeks ago. The staff is always SO friendly. I now have ordered the cranberry walnut chicken salad and wow! VERY good and such a healthy portion. I have also ordered the chicken bacon bbq wrap to go and I thought they did an excellent job prepping it to go. I love their hot caramel macchiatos as well. They have such a variety and again, I can't wait to try more items! read more

The people here are nice enough but cannot make a proper latte. It's extremely disappointing when baristas aren't trained.

Situated in the middle of downtown Lititz is a brand new, cute little cafe run by two amazing twin sisters. Upon entering, I was greeted by the sisters and their team who had just begun their switch over to the lunch menu. While there is no wait service, the service is still pretty fast once you place your order at the counter. I ordered a traditional, handcrafted macchiato that was brought to my seat. Incredible aroma and an even better taste for a great afternoon pick-me-up. I also decided to give the lunch "pick two combo" a try. I got the soup of the day, broccoli cheddar, and the bbq chicken sandwich. Both were delivered quickly and did not disappoint. The homemade feeling these dishes gave was well worth the stop in this beautiful cafe. I will definitely be returning to try the breakfast menu as well. This is one cafe in Lititz you can't pass up on. read more

I stopped in wanting to have some type of breakfast and coffee. I normally drink iced coffees but wanted a hot drink and hot breakfast with eggs of some sort (just a hot breakfast bagel sandwich would have been great) since it was raining and I was cold. Upon entering, I was greeted by one of the owners, I believe, and she was explaining how they are just going to offer bagels, toast, pastries & coffees but they had been closed for a couple of weeks so they didn't have any of that to offer. I believe she said the quiche would be ready in an hour. She said they were tired of people telling them what "they" wanted. They're going to tell people what they have. She said they opened the business to be a cafe, just a coffee place and grab a quick bagel. Well, I wish you luck but customers do want food, protein, not all carbs and unhealthy food. The couple that came in behind me heard the rambling and turned right back around out the door. They wanted "real food" too. I decided to try a cappuccino. It was horrible. I won't be back and this business will probably find that they are not going to be very successful with the very limited selections and that attitude. All the best! read more

The food came out quickly but it was overall a bad experience. The breakfast menu was extremely limited (less than half of what was shown online) and the food came out on paper plates with plastic silverware--which negated the ambience completely and was upsetting to the group, who all care about sustainability. This restaurant is also not at all vegan or vegetarian friendly--the gf options were okay but there were maybe one or two vegetarian dishes, and the side of home fries that we did get had multiple pieces of bacon in it. read more

Tasty, fresh, unfussy little cafe with speciality coffee drinks and smoothies. Unlike anything else in town, especially if you're looking for something more light and healthy. We've only done breakfast so far, but would certainly come back to try lunch. Wraps, open face egg sandwiches, açaí bowls, and the like. Good value and friendly service. Not much space so catch it at a slow time, and note that most of the seating is in the rear (mostly 2-tops, a couple 4s and one high table for 6). read more

I think for the location and what they are offering, this place will definitely be visited by a lot of people... especially those who like cafes and healthy options in clean and chic looking places. The problem with Slate however, is that the ambiance and decor is better than the food - which really remind me of Panera. The açai and super green bowls are nice but if you're looking for something to fill you up, it won't be much different than what you can get from another sandwich place ie Panera - broccoli & cheddar soup and paninis. So overall I would say the location of this place helps but it's not something I will write home about. read more
