The lavender iced latte is my go-to, and their breakfast sandwiches are top-tier (love the chopped bacon in every bite). Muffins? Always fresh and flavorful--especially the French toast one, which surprised me in the best way. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with great outdoor seating and friendly, welcoming staff. Even when I move farther out, I'll be coming back. Swatara Coffee Co. is 100% worth the stop.

When we arrived the place was full and everyone seemed very happy and upbeat. The menu is on the wall at the service kiosk where you place your order. When it's ready they call your name. There's a nice coffee bar which is self serve. The coffee was hot, fresh and delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had the club sandwich crepe, which was served piping hot. It was delicious, packed with ham, turkey, melted cheese and fresh spinach with a mayo aioli on top. This cafe is definitely a winner.

I ordered an avocado egg sandwich with bacon and garlic aoli and a mango smoothie ! The flavors of the sandy wick were very good only thing that was very messy and I didn't like to much was the bacon bits instead slices of bacon! But I guess that's was makes it unique . The staff were very friendly and nice ! The inside was very clean, and welcoming !

The coffee is also strong and tasty. We came for a late brunch while in the area. The people working here are incredibly friendly and made the experience wonderful.

Ancestor Coffeehouse & Crêperie (Lebanon location) is one of those places that's busy for a reason…read more Every time I've gone, it's been absolutely packed, and this visit was no exception. We actually ended up grabbing one of the last tables in the place. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a local coffee shop. It's warm, cozy, and full of energy. You can tell it's a community favorite. We ordered two crêpes and a couple of their February specialty coffees, and everything was fantastic. One of the crêpes we got was the Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake, which was sweet, fresh, and perfectly balanced. It wasn't overly sugary but definitely dessert worthy. The other was a savory crêpe with called California dreamin' with provolone cheese, bacon, spring onion, apples, and arugula with a balsamic glaze and garlic aioli, which ended up being such a great combination of sweet and savory flavors. It was delicious!! Our specialty coffees for the month were also excellent. They had a fun Valentine's themed lineup, and both drinks were rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I got the Not Your Sweetheart Latte and Ryan got the Chocolate Heartbreak Cold brew. If you go, one thing you absolutely have to try are their chocolate covered peanut butter balls. They have Rice Krispies in them so they're crunchy inside, and they're ridiculously good. Yes, it's a local coffee shop, so prices are a little higher than a diner, but honestly it's no worse than Starbucks and the quality, atmosphere, and uniqueness are miles better. They also have multiple locations, but the Lebanon shop has a great vibe and is clearly loved by the community.

If I didn't have to go to work right away I would have loved to sit and enjoy my coffee. The staff was very friendly and service was quick. Sandwich was good and so was the Cold Brew, a little more of a darker roast cold brew which I enjoy but might not be everyone's. Would be excited to try their hot coffee next time I am in!! Recommend this place!

Near the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is Whiff Roasters. Tucked down a little alley/walkway,…read morepassionate staff greet you when you walk in. Proudly, they show you the dozens of flavored coffee beans from traditional flavors like hazelnut and French vanilla to more unique flavors like Apple Coffee Cake and Berries Be Wild. It's scanning rows of ostentatious flavors is where they lost me. Hear me out. I truly believe that the beauty of this world is in its diversity. There are many people who love a flavored coffee with "fun" flavors and over-the-top lattes with too much whipped cream on top, but that's not my jam. In my opinion, a quality coffee shop is simple and leads with espresso brewed really well where the taste of coffee shines through. Whipped cream, Black Forest Cake, and Cabin Fever mask coffee in my opinion, but many would and should disagree with me. To prove my point, I ordered an iced Aztec latte. I have a sweet tooth, but this was way too sweet. I literally couldn't taste the coffee through all the noise. Again, some people may love this place if flavored coffee is your thing. It's just not mine, so I'll pass. That said, the service was great! Everyone I interacted with was helpful. If you're reading this, go and support them!

Right when you walk in, there's a case full of baked goods, including some gluten-free options, which I always appreciate. Everything I've tried from the bakery has been delicious. On this visit, I ordered a lavender Italian soda and a lavender vanilla latte, both were so good, with just the right balance of flavor. The staff is friendly and helpful, and everything came out quickly. There's some street parking available, plus a parking lot on the side, which makes it easy to stop in. The space itself leans more on the older side rather than modern, but it adds to the charm and gives off a cozy, historic feel that fits the area perfectly. They also have a bathroom available, which is always a plus. Seating is abundant. Inside (small amount) , on the deck and front of the shop, outside seating to the that is enclosed (temperature controlled) Overall, it's a great little coffee shop on Linglestown Rd and definitely worth checking out if you haven't been yet.
