    latte
    Kimberly T.

    another great spot for coffee at Lancaster. There is only street parking though which could be a challenge during busy days but otherwise a good cafe to visit. The lattes were delicious, not too light and not too bitter - art is a bonus! Cant say much about the other items on the menu since we were only here for the lattes during our visit. as for ambiance, i appreciate that the place is nicely lit with natural lighting. Tables and chair are cute too - the chairs, especially, caught my attention as the shape reminded me of a guitar pick which I found adorable. But like i said, the cafe could get busy and so it may not be the best spot to linger but enough to enjoy being caffeinated.

    The pumpkin muffin was flavorless and not very sweet and weird texture I think it was vegan or something but I wasn't told that would have been good to know anit was $5.50 for a small muffin. The next customer came in and the barista told them that they have a bunch of day old discounted pastries that are half priced and even giving some out for free but I wasn't told that... and spent $24 on two small pastries (one bad) and two lattes. The lattes were fine, not very cold for an iced latte.

    This is one of the cutest, most charming cafes here in Lancaster! It has many warm, earthy tones with some really interesting seating styles (like giant fae-inspired wood? What would you call that?)! It's cozy, it's small, but full of heart. They have many products on sale on the side to support other local businesses as well! I had a strawberry match latte? I think it was? DELICIOUS. The beauty of the cup and the drink is glorious on its own, but I also enjoyed the taste which is most important. They do seem to be pretty busy with both pick up, to go, in house orders. I'm sure if we came at a peak hour this place would have been swarming with patrons, understandably so. Highly recommend you at least drop by and share a drink! I think it'll be well worth your visit!

    A great coffee shop in downtown Lancaster! It has a hipster vibe to it, and plenty of seating. Seems as if the seating is designed for people to be able to work there. Coffee is delicious. There are plenty of baked goods. We didn't try any but they all looked delicious. It's super close to Lancaster Central Market, so it's easy to stop by for coffee and then shop at the market. Highly recommend and hope to visit again!

    Cardamom latte (delicious!), breakfast sandwich, blueberry scone

    Great coffee shop in Lancaster. They have some unique drinks like cardamom and lavender flavors for lattes and some interesting teas. Their food is ok, not bad, but nothing to seek out. You come here for the drinks, which are great. In the summer their patio is beautiful and in the winter the interior is cozy with an industrial brick vibe. Also I love their logo, it's a modern nod to Pennsylvania dutch heritage.

    Cortado with oat milk

    I've come by here twice now as a stopover before needing to catch the train at the Amtrak station or before a salon appointment nearby. They make a really nice cortado (they call it a Gibraltar) with oat milk, and their cinnamon rolls are delightful! It's a really great cafe to sit, chill, read, or do work on your laptop! In my experience, staff always greet me, give me space to decide when I look at the menu, and really quick with getting your order out! This is amongst my top 3 spots to go for a strong cup of coffee in Lancaster!

    Nice outdoor space at Square One

    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.

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.

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.

We were seated outside this time and it was still pleasant though I prefer inside seating.
