Whenever we go on vacation,…read morewe try to visit a new coffee shop each morning, and on this day we decided to head to the Speckled Hen since it was close by. The shop is located on East Main Street and has parking on both the side and the back. From the outside, I did not expect it to be very large, but the interior ended up being surprisingly spacious. The main area includes the ordering counter along with display cases and a Christmas tree, as it was right before the holiday. The cashier was especially nice to my kids and told us about a play area located in one of the side rooms, which we immediately headed toward. That room could seat around twenty four people and had wood floors along with black metal and dark wood chairs. The real win for us, though, was the kids play area. It was set up like a miniature version of the coffee shop, complete with play food and desserts, which kept our kids happily occupied while we enjoyed our drinks. For my coffee this morning, I went with the Gingerbread House Latte, and my wife chose the same. The coffee was very good. You got a solid coffee flavor up front, followed by a clear gingerbread note, and then it finished with a pleasant sweetness that lingered for a bit without becoming overpowering. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and while I did not eat anything myself, my wife enjoyed her berry Nutella croissant and my daughter really liked her parfait.

I recently decided to turn in my CDL and head back into the office, which allows me more time to get my workouts in and perfect my look. Normally, when I pick up something new, I do a lot of research; I dive all in. I'm glad I "dived into" coffee. When you're a truck driver, you usually hit truck stops where the coffee isn't great. However, being diverse and cultured, I started trying coffee in Latin communities. I noticed they used special machines, which sparked my interest. I eventually started visiting specialty coffee shops. Most of the places I get food from don't open until 10:00 AM, but coffee shops are open much earlier. That's how I found Passenger Coffee here in Lancaster. I knew it was going to be a great spot the moment I walked in; it was clean, inviting, and smelled amazing. A friendly employee greeted me with a smile, and their pastry display looked great. I told her I was new to coffee--only about two months in--but that I was enjoying trying different kinds. I explained how I normally take my coffee and mentioned that the last time I had one, it had foam on top. She gave me a small coffee to try, as well as one with foam (a latte or cappuccino). I think that's all I want to drink from now on! I used to make fun of people who said, "Don't talk to me until I've had my first cup," but now I finally understand why. I highly recommend this place for the excellent customer service and the cleanliness of the location. The pricing is affordable, too. I hope my review helps!

Okay, I did peek at a few. I asked the barista about the notes and he said, folks write about all sorts of things: notes to ex bfs/gfs, thoughts, anything really.

We got the Boo Berry (Blueberry Vanilla Latte) and the frozen Hot Chocolate (made with marshmallow and chocolate syrup siding). Both delicious! This place is deceptive.

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!
