Still a five star experience but now more popular. They are aware of the big anime convention in town and had several special creations catering toward Japanese flavors and good combinations. They do it well here and the attendees are noticing. Not too far away from the main hotel and off to the side but not too much and still gets the crowd. In this place which is unnoticeably an indoor plaza, follow the stairs down and you find a medieval like store with a Brand New Battle Masters game. Both places together are so different but so fitting to be open to a nerdy convention crowd. read more

Aura Little Cafe - Tiramisu Late! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Love this cutesy little cafe. Was on-the-whim when traveling to downtown Lancaster, which doesn't quite happen often as I'm from Delaware. Lady behind the counter was so sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend their Banana Crème Brûlée latte. 10/10 would come back again. read more

Cute and quaint but pricey. Two coffees (one large one with oat milk were in the $7.5 a piece range) were unique and a great one off treat but not an everyday occurrence. Salmon bagel star of show. Good salmon nice seasoning and a decent bagel. Would put in coffee shop rotation but it's not a primary destination for this girl read more

Staff are extremely kind and the food/drink quality is incredible. It's also very quaint, with both street ordering and a small indoor seating area. read more

The strawberry matcha here is absolutely delicious: wonderful color, authentic herbal/grassy flavor, but also perfectly balanced with the additions of rich oatmilk and fresh strawberries. My friend got the lavender matcha (left drink) and it was really smooth and floral without overpowering the matcha flavor! One of the best matchas I've had and I've lived in the central PA area for over 20 years now. The only slight downside is that the wait is a little long since it's a smaller shop and they are often busy but I assure you that it's worth the wait :) read more

Aura Little Cafe - Strawberry cheesecake latte and red velvet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I've been here before a few years back , so I know they are capable of making a decent bagel. Not sure where the disconnect here was.... This sandwich is priced at about $12.99. What I received wasn't worth $5. The Aegean sandwich , which is supposed to consist of smoked salmon , cream cheese , pickled red onion, greens and capers on an open face everything bagel. My bagel was not toasted , barely had cream cheese on it , zero red onion and caper present and I got way more wilted spring mix than salmon. One thin peace of smoked salmon for $12 is crazy when I can get a whole pack at the store for $8. Taste was wildly "off" too. Hoping they improve quality because I feel like this was just carelessness. read more

5/5 amazing! my mother and I both got the caramel brulee latte, it wasn't too sweet or too bitter, i loved it. The customer service was great and there was a chill and ambient waiting area...WILL BE BACK! read more

We were walking by and saw an umbrella with Lavazza sign. So we knew this place would have good coffee. We haven't had good Turkish coffee in the states. If you are a coffee fan, and have never tried Turkish coffee, this place is an absolute must! I can't wait to go back and try some of their food! read more

Very cute little coffee shop. Glad to see more local places like this. Our server was nice and turmeric drink was delicious read more

Wanna try the local coffee while we are waiting for the brunch restaurant. Ordered 4 drinks, it took pretty long. Thought it would be good... Ordered: Latte- tasted milk only. So normal. Worse than my home instant coffee. Ice red valet latte- tasted like milk with red color. No taste.... Fudge brownie mocha- tasted like chocolate. No espresso taste. Disappointed. Price is like regular coffee shop, but its not worthy. read more

Small, nicely decorated coffee shop. It's more of a to-go than a sit-down-relax place. I visited around noon and the shop was very hot because it uses fan and the fan was positioned that give little to zero air flow so while i was waiting for my coffee, it got a bit uncomfortable. Also, since it's summer, i could see flies everywhere in the shop which is a bit of a turnoff. The menu is fairly typical with some special option such as matcha lavender. Some tasty-looking pastries. Good price range. One thing i don't like is when i ordered a pastry, the cashier didn't tell me if i have to get it myself or if he would take it out for me so it was a confusing situation. Beverages tasted ok, mediocre. read more

After lurking to find a coffee place on our stay from NJ, we found Aura Espresso Room. First of all, the location is perfect! It's right by other shops, and a super cute spot. I am an avid coffee drinker, I at least have 2-3 cups a day. This was the first time I saw a Peanut Butter Mocha on the menu, and immediately wanted it. It was easily the best specialty coffee I've ever had! Which is why I ordered it everyday I've been here. 3 in total. My boyfriend ordered the hazelnut cappuccino and it was also amazing. The spot is the cutest little front ever! Will be returning tomorrow, my last day here. read more

Good espresso. Friendly service. Cute place, great break from the crowded market. Reasonably priced as well

This is a review for the Aura Espresso Room in Lancaster, PA along the Main Street, north of the Lancaster Public Market. Small, window-street location inside a sublet series of shops of interior mall. Cute little location, two employees, made careful mention of being a sublet serving "Lavazza" coffees. Friendly, took the time to properly make a latte drink with turmeric called a "golden". Very tasty. Rating: (****) Yay! I'm a fan. read more

Iced lavender latte was delicious. The barista was super friendly and helpful and the price is right! Cheaper than S***bucks and much tastier too. There are a lot of options including turmeric, red velvet, etc. which you really don't see anywhere else. Small space but big flavor. Give it a try. read more

Ugh... wanted to like this place but it made me feel so sick after I ate it I was sick all day. It was not as clean as the pictures and staff wasn't super friendly :( read more

Aura Espresso creates an environment unlike any other coffee shop in Lancaster. The owners, George and Tina, are the most welcoming, caring people, pouring love into every cup. They truly want to make every customer happy. All of the drink are specially made at the shop, meaning no highly-processed syrups or other unnatural ingredients. Watching George make a latte or a cappuccino, you can see the careful, slow artistry that goes into making every cup look as good as it tastes. Lavazza is the coffee brand, the top selling coffee in Europe, blowing Starbucks out of the water by comparison. Despite the high quality and impeccable standards, a cup of steaming hot coffee gold can be bought far as little as $1.85!!! So you can grab a cup every single morning without denting your spending money. Apart from the coffee, one can also enjoy homemade pastries, such as Tina's unbeatable, fresh banana bread, baked nearly every day. Or George's Grandmother's sacred, Greek honey cookies, dense, bite-sized cookies, saturated in pure bee honey. Looking for a place to grab a quick, yet healthy lunch? Try an Aegean sandwich, (an everything bagel with a cream cheese spread, capers, onions, and loaded with smoked salmon!) Or try the Greek sandwich, a vegetarian option. This treat is a pita pocket overflowing with cucumbers, tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese, topped with Tina's Tzatziki sauce, a special recipe that makes this sandwich entirely unique. Lastly, the owners are so incredibly friendly that you will always leave in a better mood than when you arrive. Their smiles, friendly greeting, they will call you by name, remember your order, and treat you better than anyone else you meet in your work day. So, go get a cuppa Aura! read more

This place is so cute and I didn't even know it existed. This is in a great , cozy location. They have great drinks, and definitely recommend. Doesn't get busy at all, and there is comfortable seating out front of the establishment. I would not make any changes other than proving Air conditioner for the employees inside. Though there are only two people working currently, it's like a wall of hot air for them. read more

The owner is incredibly welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his labor of love. And that most certainly radiates through in his coffee and espresso creations. In regards to my love for unique espresso creations, the Golden Tumeric latte and Lavender Latte drinks are divine. And for the coffee drinkers a cup of the Greek/Turkish coffee with a side of baklava is a must have Greek tradition. And for a breakfast on the run the coffee cake muffin is a MUST HAVE! read more

Amazing coffee. Much better than Square One and Passenger. Homemade ingredients make it stand apart from their counterparts! read more

Aura is a cute little coffee shop in the heart of Lancaster! The coffee beans are Lavazza brand. The espresso is Aura's speciality! I ordered a cappuccino with one-shot of expresso and almond milk. I was happily surprised Aura offers almond milk as a substitute for dairy products. I definitely loved my cappuccino! The store owner was super friendly and provided a great indulgent experience! They also sell locally baked yummy pastries. There's a cookie served with every drink. read more

My go-to place for good, innovative coffee creations. Lovely owners and really good Covid sanitation protocols.

Honestly this place was horrible! I thought it was going to be delicious! The staff was friendly! & the decor was so cute! But my friend and I both got a smoothie and it was so gross, & also kind of warm? it mainly tasted like milk. No fruit. We also got some pastries and omg. I got some banana bread and it was SO DRY. I do not recommend this place overpriced for not great quality read more

Fantastic coffee and experience. The Turmeric Coffee is amazing. Wait time was a little longer than average but week worth it in the end - Highly recommend read more

Wow! This place is great! They have Greek Nescafé Coffee that tastes identical to the ones you find in Athens. The employee we had was actually from Greece, and he was very friendly. I'm sure the other food items are great as well! Highly recommend! read more

The best coffee in Lancaster made by well trained baristas. Turmeric latte is the #1 for a reason, you have to just try it.

Everything about AURA is top notch, from the service to the drinks to the pastries and sweets! AURA's coffee (Lavazza brand) is top tier coffee from Italy. AURA's menu is also perfect for people with dietary restrictions. Tons of GF options, vegan options, almond/soy/oat/cashew/coconut milk. In addition to a seasonal menu, George and Tina are the warmest, personable, professional baristas in the city. My go to spot for my daily lavender latte Highly recommend!! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Downtown lancaster and amazing hot chocolate .Wonderful service George and Tina are very nice.

Their coffee is amazing. I would order off my postmates app for pickup during work and it was always ready by the time I got down there. No waiting while I was on my lunch break, very efficient. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a small town coffee shop! read more

Great find! Walk up espresso! Friendly place with great service. I'll be back for sure!

Fantastic coffee and even better personnel! Tina is wonderful and serves Italian coffee just as in Italy. Yes I've been to Italy so I do know. Come stop your day for a moment and enjoy life and a coffee. Ciao. read more

Blown away by the service and kindness this coffee place. The coffee is amazing and the snacks are great too! Now that it's nice out it's the perfect place to enjoy a cold coffee and a cake downtown. Lovely. Just lovely. read more

I stopped in here a few days ago for a latte. The menu was fairly typical for a coffee shop and the selection of baked goods looked tasty though I did not partake since I already had dessert. I watched the barista tamp the coffee into the portafilter and pull the espresso. It brewed much faster then its supposed to and it resulted in a weak cup of coffee that completely lacked the rich espresso flavor I was looking for. The pumpkin sauce tasted homemade and was really good so that helped the cup a lot. I dont think I will return. If you are going to work in a little coffee shop you should know what you are doing and be able to pull a decent shot of espresso. read more

Aura is a very cute little gem of a coffee shop! Excellent coffee, delicious pastries, and great service! I almost always go here when I'm in Lancaster. Their red velvet latte or chai is so good (the chai is actually tea and not a concentrate!), but I would recommend their plain latte or espresso, since the coffee is that good. read more
