    My family and I got vouchers from our stay at Verdant View Farm to have breakfast here on a Sunday morning. We were seated upstairs after we packed our orders. The coffee was delicious and my spicy BLT on a cheesy bagel was so delicious. This place is a solid breakfast and brunch place.

    What a lovely restaurant! My husband and I actually stayed at the restaurant owners' Airbnb and got a voucher to this restaurant. We had a delicious brunch. I ordered the Lancaster quiche, which came with a side salad. The quiche wasn't too heavy and had a good flavor. I really liked the crust. It was a good portion as well. The servers are friendly, and there's plenty of seating inside. Would definitely come back here and try the French toast next time we are in the area!

    Best coffee I've had in PA After spending the night in Lancaster I was searching for a spot for brekkie. The speckled hen called my name. And I am so glad it did because wow! This is a must stop spot in my opinion. I decided to order the avocado toast, an iced strawberry matcha, and a hot mocha. This avocado toast was not only beautiful, but it was so incredibly delicious! The flavors mingled perfectly and I always love a nice bite of pickled red onion! The matcha was also fabulous. The perfect color!! And a fabulous flavor to go with it. As for this mocha, I genuinely don't know if I've ever had a better espresso! And I'm from Seattle so I consider myself to know a few things. The foam was so think that the coffee art didn't move when I took a sip. Jaw drop moment for me. The inside was nice and bright. Lots of seating! Definitely would stop by if I had the opportunity again!

    I stopped by here earlier today with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on vacation, we 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.

    A surprising find for some gluten free and vegan gals! This was something like you would find in a more urban area. We found our table and perused the menu before heading to the counter to place our order. Got our little buzzers and took a seat.... And then they brought the food to us! I got the sweet potato bowl with GF toast. My friend got the vegan burrito. We both loved our choices. The coffee was excellent, too. We got there as soon as they opened and it was completely empty.... It soon filled up and the kids play area was right behind us. We soon found ourselves shouting to hear one another. Maybe not the best place to sit if you don't have littles with you. I'd love to come back to try some other dishes. They all looked so good.

    Food was delish and lots of options. Comfy seating inside or outside. Staff was very attentive and friendly.

    Came in for coffee and pastry and unfortunately really hated it. Coffee is not bad, but pastries are awful. The most mediocre baking I have ever had. On top of it they messed up our coffee order and we had to wait literally forever. I don't know if this is the only spot in town...it was extremely overcrowded. Ambience and decor, however, were not bad.

    Definitely get in here early for the best experience! The food was delicious & coffee options were great. I wanted to try more lattes, but we were short on time. A flight option would be cool in the future! Cute kids area in the back and lots of seating. Bathrooms were clean and you really got the "old town" feel in this shop. 100% will return.

    Dave and I had one day to spare after graduation in Maryland, so we took a ride to Pennsylvania Dutch Country. We needed to find a place to eat outside with Freckles and we came across the Speckled Hen Coffee Place in Strasburg. This cafe is charming and is located on Main Street. You order at the counter and then you get your own coffee. It's the kind of place that you can relax, read, do school work etc. We both had the western omelettes that were delicious and I had home fries on the side and Dave grits, When our food was ready the servers brought it outside for us along with a water bowl for Freckles. We ate and watched the cars and buggies go by. I love the beautiful green fields and horses and buggies. I even saw the Host Farm which is now a Hershey's property. Here's where I went first my honeymoon a long, long, time ago. We hopefully will return to this beautiful place with its perfect temperatures again.

    Beautiful place, surrounded by fresh country air! The food is wonderful, try a quiche, service is top notch!

    Great atmosphere; easy ordering process. Self-seating and lots of room. Food was simple and outstanding, fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch if you're in the area!

    Homestyle breakfast bowl
    Lilian N.

    Oh my goodness, I haven't had brunch like this in a while! Speckled Hen Coffee was a nice surprise. We needed lunch in between our steam train experience and the Amish farm tour, but there wasn't a lot of options. At first glance I ignored this place because we thought it was just coffee! Then my friend said we should go because they have different options for the adults and the kids. The menu was extremely extensive and so appealing! There were breakfast bowls, omelettes, quiches, dessert, beverages, burgers, you name it! And all seemed like table to farm type of vibe. I went with the homestyle breakfast bowl, which a worker recommended. It had beans, cheese, salsa, bacon and egg all on top of some fresh spinach. Once mixed, it was the best dang bowl I've had. The flavors mixed well, and it didn't feel at all heavy (though to be fair I gave one bacon to my bacon-loving daughter!) I had my meal with their popular iced coconut latte. My friend loved it so much I went to ask which brand they used for the coconut milk in the latte. Turns out they make their own coconut syrup!! Lots of seating options, including a private room with a large table in the back. That's where we sat and felt like we didn't need to be embarrassed when our four little children got a little bit louder. I really wish they had this place in New-York city! I would definitely come back.

We were there for 30-45 minutes and she then finally brought out the cocktail menu. Not entirely sure I would come back.

Our server was really nice and the food was good, but the entrées are extremely overpriced for what you get. My meal was $25 for chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes. The green beans were good and the chicken wasn't bad, just a little tough in some places. I didn't like the mashed potatoes-the texture was gritty and they had way too much butter. My husband had soup, salad, and 1/2 sandwich for $15. Reasonably priced and he liked everything. They have a nice store in the middle of the restaurant and some hand made items. Staff were very friendly. The lady at the front was so personable and chatted with us for a while when we left. Wouldn't go back, but if don't mind paying a bit more than usual, check it out!

Hubby liked his eggs & scrapple. Our server was dressed as a train conductor. We enjoyed the decor and theme. The gift shop had several railroad related items for sale. The train theme extends to the hotel and grounds. Even if you don't stay in one of the rail cars overnight, you can still enjoy a meal.

I am so unbelievably glad we stopped here because it was one of the most impressive and tasty dinners I've had in a long time! Their menu isn't super extensive but they do have rotating specials of drinks, dinner, and dessert. I went with the pork chops which came with their seasonal starch and vegetable which was potatoes and zucchini. The pork chop was super flavorful and cooked to perfection. The bacon jam had a sweet and salty vibe which only added to the flavor of the dish. I ordered a ginger and pear mocktail - refreshing. Their drinks looked amazing but I refrained from alcohol for the night , but they were definitely tempting. My mom loved her apricot salmon and had the same sides. Bread and salad a soup are all à la carte add ons. The roll was nice and fresh tasting and my mom had the tomato bisque which she loved and honestly smelled so good! It was covered in melted cheese - yum! We got dessert because of course we had to- all made in house and gluten free. I got the creme brûlée which was hands down the best creme brûlée I've ever had. You could see the vanilla bean flecks and it had a hint of saltiness which balanced out the creamy texture and sweetness nicely. My mom got the carrot cake which was multi layered and came with candied walnuts and caramel sauce. Our waiter was so unbelievably kind and attentive and personable. The restaurant had what appeared to be 3 main rooms. The bar looked gorgeous, we sat in one of the dining rooms which was simply decorated and a bit moody. The building itself is cool and they also had a nice outside area with beautiful twinkle lights. I'm so glad we randomly stumbled upon this restaurant and when we go back to Lancaster we'll definitely be back - prices were pretty fair! Overall, don't sleep on this!

We shared the poutine, which had a lot of tender meat, perfectly cooked crispy fries and a tangy and warm gravy. I would have liked more cheese, but I'm not complaining that much.
