    Cinnamon maple latte, and chocolate chip muffin

    Such a great place. I love the atmosphere. It has fantastic drinks and an ever changing selection.

    Dessert case at 8am!

    I am such a fan of this place - it came highly recommended by a coworker and I've got to say this is going to be part of my morning drive to work all the time when I'm on site. The coffee, the ambiance, and the service are all top notch. Dirty chai - I got this after a 5 hr sleep night and needed some extra zing...I usually don't drink coffee but the barista recommended this just so it's one step up from my usual tea consumption. The chai mix was so good I would just do this in the future and the dirty chai really did the job and kept me cool on a 95 degree day AND awake. Thank you idea coffee! It'll set you back around $6. Breakfast burrito - it was warmed and toasted nicely, but could have done with some hot sauce. Definitely kept me full on that same exhausting work day. London fog - I wasn't as much of a fan of this one just because it was slightly watered down, but I still got the nice bergamot coming through from the earl grey tea. Matcha latte with lavender vanilla syrup - this was incredible. I had a taste and it was so good. My coworker said it tasted like melted ice cream in the best way. Definitely for people who like their matcha lattes sweet! Getting this next time. Also the paintings on the wall were so beautiful - they feature local artists and the barista was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

    Cute, quaint coffee shop located very close to a family's home so I come quite frequently. Hours have changed - 7am it opens, and closed Mondays. Learned that the hard way this past Monday when I went for a coffee! I think the coffee is some of the best in the area - plus It's convenient, the people who work there are kind, and so overall it has earned the five stars. I hope it keeps its hours during the winter - fingers crossed!

    My friend and I were looking for a quiet and cozy place to catch up and this place absolutely fit the bill! There were only three other people in the cafe when we walked in. We were both enticed by the baked goods. My friend ordered a coffee cake muffin while I went with a blueberry muffin. I also ordered a iced chai tea with almond milk. The muffin was so fresh and absolutely divine! I also enjoyed my iced chai and found the ratio of chai to almond milk to be perfect. The customer service was really great and my friend and I had a really nice time catching up until the place closed for event. This is a great place to go if you want to catch up with a friend, study, curl up with a good book, or grab some food and/or beverages to go! I will definitely return.

    Its winter in PA. I love a good cafe experience that warms my soul.Added bonus that it was 8min…read morefrom the VAMC and I was a hour early for my appointment. The ambiance was nice. Lots of parking in a new development.I love windows and it was very clean and earthy looking. There was plenty of space but I could see this place being packed in the weekend. There is a 90 min sitting limit for those customers who overstay their welcome I ordered a baked oatmeal with fruit and a hot matcha latte. They have a vegan and gluten free menu which is nice. I'm assuming they change it based on the season with some seasonal treats. The oatmeal was delicious and not too sweet, with fresh fruit. The matcha was fantastic and in a pretty big mug. I dined in and my order came out within 3 min of sitting down so that was impressive. Outside of the older lady that sat close to my table that talked about how annoying the lady from her book club was, this place is great. Grab to go if you are a loner like myself.

    Fantastic coffee shop in Mechanicsburg. Stopped by after reading great reviews online and this…read moreplace did not disappoint. We ordered the breakfast sandwich (tasty and hearty) cortado (fab) cappucino, matcha latte and everything was amazing. Service is great and the vibe of this coffee shop is so warm and welcoming. Such kind people here and it was an amazing start to my day. Thank you and highly recommend their coffee.

    It's been about a year since we were at Thea's so we decided to dine there again for our 10th…read moreanniversary. And again, the experience was absolute heaven. AnneMarie actually remembered us from last year and came out to check on us several times. This time I had the veal saltimbocca, the Mrs. had the crab cakes, and the son had the shrimp and pasta. All of these were the best we've ever had. In my humble opinion AnneMarie is the best chef in the world and one of the kindest people on this planet. She had even written a happy anniversary card for us. Our server, Fotini, was excellent as well. Friendly, professional, and took very good care of us. And dessert, gadzooks! AnneMarie put the raspberry cheesecake on a large platter and spelled out Happy Anniversary in the raspberry sauce (see photo). The son and I had the peanut butter oreo pie. All are fantastic. I'd give her ten stars if I could. I cannot recommend Thea enough. If you visit Mechanicsburg you've GOT to dine at Thea. The best food and the best service. Thank you, AnneMarie for making our anniversary special.

However, I've recently noticed their health score is not good. I think that is an important thing to point out and I hope they take improvements in their kitchen as back of kitchen is just as important as dining room appearance.
