After Cinco de Mayo…read more It was a rainy day here in Harrisburg, PA. I took a job in Lancaster, but first, I needed my coffee--I think I'm addicted to it now! The day before, I had a great cup from Passenger, but today I stopped by Little Amps in downtown Harrisburg before hitting the road. The atmosphere was excellent; it reminded me of home in LA with the records playing, dim lighting, and vintage decor everywhere. I felt a bit torn, like one coffee house wanted me to stay and the other wanted me to leave, so I decided to "break myself in half" and visit both. After all, two of me is better than one! I highly rate Little Amps for the scenery. The vintage look and the outdoor seating make you feel like you're in Manhattan or Paris, giving you the vibe of three places all in one. If you haven't been to any of these spots yet, save your money and just visit Little Amps to get that "all-in-one" experience. The staff is very inviting and they do offer bagels, though I have to be honest: they aren't quite as good as New York bagels. I know New York bagels inside and out, and they know me! I hope my review helps you decide where to get your next caffeine fix.

My favorites are the Turkey and Brie on focaccia, the tomato bisque, and the Hershey ice cream. This place is a must visit if you're in the area. The owner (Skip Hicks) is passionate about the arts and good food and drink. He is a most endearing soul and the energy here reflects that. You just want to stay forever. You're welcome to take any food and drink from the café into the theater during the movie. How awesome is that. A true movie 'house'.

There is quite a bit of seating, lots of neat pencil portraits and art pieces are on display as decorations, and they often showcase local art from schools or even local artists' works. The atmosphere is very laid back and has been for over the year I've been a patron. I've still never had the food, but the coffee is always good and the staff is pretty nice. They added, then removed, and now readded iced coffee to the menu. They've also recently cut back the pump flavors for coffee to more sensible flavors (mango coffee = yuck!). Oddly enough, I finally realized that they have shows here. I'm not sure why I never noticed the sound equipment, but I was here one night when some artists held an acoustic jam and spoken word night. It was a lot of fun. The only complaint I have about the place any more is that occasionally they will host a live show and you'll get chased out if you don't buy tickets for the show. It has only happened to me once, but it was very jarring and aggravating as I had purchased a bottomless cup and only got two cups out of it. I know it is my fault, but I didn't see any warning or I would have stayed home that night.

Looking to treat myself a little on a cold, gray Wednesday afternoon, I decided to finally stop…read moreinto Denim Coffee in Carlisle. I've walked and driven past it many times but had somehow never made it inside. Since Denim was also participating in the 2026 Cumberland Valley Coffee & Chocolate Trail, it felt like the perfect excuse to check it out and grab a quick late-afternoon pick-me-up. I walked in around 4pm and found a handful of people inside -- some chatting quietly, others working on laptops. The space was clean, calm, and welcoming, with soft music playing overhead. The woman at the counter was an absolute sunbeam on an otherwise dreary afternoon, greeting me warmly and happily taking my order. I went with an iced coffee with sugar-free vanilla syrup (extra sweet, please!) and oat milk. Total came to $5.25. While she prepared my drink, I took a moment to look around and realized what a great view Denim offers from their bar seating area. Full glass windows with stools looking out over the square in Carlisle make it a fantastic people-watching spot. That afternoon, the Farmers Market was set up across the square, and it was fun watching people dash between stands while dodging raindrops to grab their weekly goodies. It struck me as a perfect place to meet a friend, spend a few hours working on a laptop, or just decompress with a coffee and watch the world go by. Denim also had a small sweet treat case with snacks that would pair nicely with coffee. I stuck with just the drink this time, but everything looked tempting enough that I'd definitely consider adding a pastry next visit. A few minutes later my name was called and my drink was waiting at the end of the counter. One interesting touch: they placed the container of oat milk beside my coffee so I could add exactly as much as I wanted. It's a small detail, but not something you see at many coffee shops, and I appreciated the flexibility. The iced coffee itself was excellent. Unlike some places where iced coffee tastes like watered-down brown liquid, Denim's actually tasted like coffee -- strong, smooth, and delivering a solid caffeine boost. Overall: great service, really good coffee, reasonable prices, and a cozy spot right in the heart of town. The only real challenge is parking since it's so close to the square. Street parking is available nearby, but depending on the time of day you may need to circle a bit. All in all, a great little coffee stop and I'm glad I finally walked through the door.

Right when you walk in, there's a case full of baked goods, including some gluten-free options, which I always appreciate. Everything I've tried from the bakery has been delicious. On this visit, I ordered a lavender Italian soda and a lavender vanilla latte, both were so good, with just the right balance of flavor. The staff is friendly and helpful, and everything came out quickly. There's some street parking available, plus a parking lot on the side, which makes it easy to stop in. The space itself leans more on the older side rather than modern, but it adds to the charm and gives off a cozy, historic feel that fits the area perfectly. They also have a bathroom available, which is always a plus. Seating is abundant. Inside (small amount) , on the deck and front of the shop, outside seating to the that is enclosed (temperature controlled) Overall, it's a great little coffee shop on Linglestown Rd and definitely worth checking out if you haven't been yet.
