The first thing to know is that parking right in front of the building is limited. Luckily, we were…read moreable to grab a spot pretty close, but there aren't a ton of spaces directly outside. Once you go inside, though, there's a good amount of seating available. The space is really cute and nicely decorated. One of the standout features is a fun swing-style table seat, along with booths and regular seating, which makes it a fun place to sit and enjoy dessert or coffee. Their menu has a great variety of options, including coffees, specialty drinks, and a wide range of desserts, so there's plenty to choose from if you're visiting with friends or family. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. For desserts, I tried the mango mousse dessert (the one shaped like a mango). It had a unique texture compared to a typical cake or pastry, but the mango flavor was really good. I also tried the chocolate teddy bear dessert. It was very rich and definitely for chocolate lovers. For me it was a bit heavy on the chocolate, but it wasn't bad at all. Overall, it was a nice experience and I would definitely go back to try some of the other desserts and drinks they offer.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in what they're doing. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, whether you're meeting someone or just stopping in for a quiet coffee. They also have some really cool merch for sale, which adds to the whole personality of the place. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Harrisburg.

Some matches that you order at namebrand coffee shops can have over 30 g of sugar! Elementary Matcha does not seem that sugary! I'm also impressed with their service sometimes I can fill out of place at local coffee shops, maybe I might not fit a typical customer. I don't feel that way at all at elementary! The shop is an acute location and has a very open and unique ambience!

The wait staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful! The place is small and will only hold a limited amount of people, so be sure to go early or make a reservation.

It's unique to the area and consistently good.

The interior of the pop is where it truly shines: moist, rich, well spiced and full of everything that makes carrot cake a beautiful treat. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

I visited after the morning rush hour, so can't quote on the noise during those times. All in all, pretty laid back place and easy to locate! Corner of State St. and 17th!

There is also a small parking lot to the side if you're worried about parking. I would definitely come again to visit!
