I enjoyed the bowl with falafel as well as some good old-fashioned chicken corn soup! Both were filling and delicious! The café is lots of fun and everything you'd expect from a downtown café.

Back again recently and have to share just how wonderful this cafe is. The service is so friendly…read more I came here with my son and he accidentally knocked his entire glass of milk all over the table, window, my jacket, and seemingly just about everywhere in that cafe. The worker at the register didn't hesitate and got out the mop and towels and cleaned it up within minutes. I didn't even have to ask, and he said they'd of course get him another glass of milk. I was impressed and the server was just a kid himself, and was truly so nice. I spent about another hour here and ordered several more items. The coffee was tasty. The food was good and the vibe was relaxing. I love the floor to ceiling windows that bring in the natural light. The place was packed and had such a good energy. We'll keep coming back!

This is another review where I would love if I could give 4.5 stars. I would firmly argue that this…read moreis some of the best coffee in Lancaster and has one of the coolest interior atmospheres. I typically go at least once a week before work. My order is 1 large hot latte and 1 large iced latte. I like to drink the iced latte before school then fill the cup up with ice and pour the (now room temp) other latte over it. That's how much I love this coffee. The only draw back is that the food situation leaves something to be desired. They usually have some sort of baked good/pastry in the display case, but I always eat breakfast before I go so I've never tried it.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Lancaster, and I end up there at least once a day when I'm in…read moretown. My standard order is an iced latte with cherry syrup (although a latte with the peanut butter syrup is also delicious). I've tried cherry lattes elsewhere, but Mean Cups is the best. Nice and sweet, just how I like it, and you can actually taste the cherry. There're plenty of seating options, both indoors and out, and a restroom for customers. The service is quick (and not at all mean!). There's plenty of parking in the lot in front of the store. I do wish they had more food options, but there's not much aside from a small selection of baked goods. Luckily, there are plenty of other options in the same line of shops where you can grab some food to have with your coffee.

Well, it's an early morning. Yes, I was looking for my normal bagel and coffee. Me, being born and…read moreraised right out of Manhattan, makes me feel like having a bagel from the Central PA area could never come close. However, I wanted to try a bagel from Courthouse Bakery, but they were closed even though they said they open at 7:00 AM. It was only 7:32 AM when I pulled the door, only to find out, of course, it was closed. So, I did a quick Google search and did my research--as most people do not--and found out that there was another bagel spot right around the corner that also sold breakfast and coffee. Just like a New Yorker, I didn't drive my car; instead, I decided to take a walk to the other bagel spot. Well, I must say, I am not impressed. However, the score for this place is a 3.7 out of 5, only because it's a nice location, the employees have smiley faces, and the place is very clean! The outside seating is nice so you can people-watch, which I love doing!! -Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

I prefer my coffee beverages on the sweet and sugary side, and Aura's are perfect. The employees are always friendly and efficient. It can sometimes take a bit to get your order during busy times since there's typically only one person working, but they work quickly and it's worth the wait. There's both inside and outside seating, and you can get your order inside or through a walk up window. There's also a restroom available to customers. Aura is a must visit for me whenever I'm in Lancaster.

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.

Kenzie was an exceptional waitress--attentive, welcoming, and genuinely encouraging in a way that made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is enchanting. Everywhere you look there's beautiful art, thoughtful details, and creative touches. The covered patio is especially lovely and makes for the perfect place to relax, slow down, and catch up with friends. You can tell this space has been lovingly and intentionally cultivated. From the food and drinks to the art-filled surroundings and warm hospitality, every corner feels special. If you're visiting the area, don't miss this place. It's the kind of spot that nourishes both body and spirit.

Our server was friendly and efficient, and the pace of the service flowed well throughout our meal. The restaurant is clean and cozy and the seating area can accommodate different sizes of dining groups. I ordered the Elvis Crepe from the Sweet Crepes section of the menu and a side of Hash Browns with Southwest sauce. They were both delicious and filling, and it was a good combination of sweet and savory. My partner got a Savory Crepe, which he also enjoyed. The only disappointing part of our meal was the iced lattes. We both ordered different flavors - one Nutella latte and one with strawberry syrup. We couldn't taste any of the flavoring in them at all. Had our server not told us which was which, we would never have been able to tell. They just tasted like plain lattes with no added flavor. Especially disappointing considering you pay extra for the flavored syrups. Overall, a great choice for delicious food and friendly service, but maybe grab your latte later from one of the other many coffee shops in the area.

My comment besides having to go to the basement of the bldg for restrooms--is the stairway from the top balcony was Very Dark to ascend the stairs (perhaps some lighting is needed for Older folks who sit upstairs ?)

Also love the variety of artists you schedule. We live 1 hour away over in Harrisburg area. Thanks
