There are so many coffee shops in this and the surrounding areas to choose from, but I find myself…read moreoften reverting back to Fireside because of its vibrant yet cozy ambience, the wholesome music, great coffee and simple eats, and the convenient commute. However, the main reason I find myself continually coming back to Fireside is simply to enjoy the impeccable outdoor furnishings and the creative, cozy nature-inspired interior space. Whether I'm plugging away at work, meeting friends, grabbing a quick bite to eat, or simply having me-time, there's a number of comfortable seating sections to choose from. Check out the pictures below. The service is overall decent; the staff greeting and hospitality can use some improvement, and the staff knowledge should be more consistent. On a more recent trip, I realized I came on a day that Skip's chicken sandwiches were being sold - hooray (available Thurs-Sat only)! This sandwich has been on my bucket list since I started coming to Fireside months ago, and it was surprisingly better than I expected, considering its coffee shop food. I ordered the sandwich with "some heat". The chicken was juicy and perfectly fried with a well-seasoned coating on top of a bed of creamy slaw and thick pickle slices, all on a nicely toasted brioche bun. It came with a sweet-chili-mayo "Comeback" sauce which I asked for on the side. The Comeback sauce was a good accompaniment to the sandwich, but it was missing a little something, and the bun could have been thicker to hold the chicken from sliding out; overall, I highly recommend trying the juicy chicken sandwich from Fireside and checking out the neat spot! Also, try their Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso....better than Starbucks! Cheerrs!

The food was good, but it seemed the staff were confused with orders and the meals seemed small and not as good as other places. What makes this place worth the trip is their outdoor setting. We will definitely come back and give them another try.

We found this little coffee shop right outside of the market and decided to try it on our way out! There was a long line when we arrived as well as when we got into line! The service was fast and friendly. A lot of the customers were ordering the limited time smores drink, which looked SO good! I opted to order a basic drink after eating so much at the smorgasbord! I ordered a large iced vanilla latte with extra milk. The coffee was really good, they made it perfectly and it wasn't too strong of a taste. The added vanilla was really good too! The prices were fair for a coffee shop, and if you're in shopping around the area, definitely give them a try! I'm sure they will have some amazing drinks for the fall season!

I will say if you're in a rush to grab a cup of coffee and go, this probably isn't the place to go to. I was here around 945 on a Wednesday and they were slammed.

While passing through Ephrata we searched Yelp for dinner ideas. The strong reviews of Stonehouse…read moreCafe got our attention. It's definitely a cute place - smallish, but with lots of character and good food. They have a no nonsense espresso machine and they made me an upside-down dry cappuccino without any hesitation. If I lived in Ephrata I could see this becoming my main go-to for my cappuccinos. Service was friendly but a little slow. It could be our timing was bad, and to their credit the cook warned us that our order (we split one burger) would take 30 or more minutes. That seemed excessive to us but who knows, maybe they just received 10 DoorDash orders right before we arrived. Times like this really separate the good from the great restaurants. Great service would have been to not only apologize, but to also offer us a free espresso drink or an appetizer or a dessert to hold us over. Instead we had to ask for water two or three times. Over all, our experience was enjoyable, but they should consider hiring one or two more crew members.

When you walk in it is very warm and charming but on a Saturday morning it is very busy.

Had some fries they were a bit salty, but at the same time they tasted good. So not too much to complain about. I would come again maybe try during the week when it's not so crowded. Definitely would recommend this place but maybe try coming during the week so it's not so claustrophobic. Great decor guys!

I'd go back just for that meal.

I wanted to try a new place for breakfast on my way to Lancaster and gave it a try. Spacious seating: booths and table and chairs. Place your order at the counter and someone will bring your meal to you. Then when you're finished, clear your table and place the dinnerware in a basket before you exit. I came on a Thursday morning so finding a booth was no problem. My meal came out in a reasonable time. The lady who took my order was very friendly and welcoming. If the food was better, I'd try this place again. But the service alone would not lead me back. I ordered Pop's Special: eggs made to order, choice of meat, toast and home fries. I was expecting shredded potatoes or diced potatoes as home fries; not thickly sliced potato chips. I wasn't a fan. The eggs tasted like whatever oil they used on the griddle, and had the same taste as the home fries and bacon. My husband ordered Mom's special. That was similar to Pop's special but instead of home fries, a very large pancake was served with a scoop of butter. Same oily taste with his meal. He couldn't eat the pancake because it was too buttery. The people were great but not so great meals.
