My companion and I always enjoy dropping by Quinn's at ArtsFest or Kipona. First, they are usually…read morethe ONLY coffee truck at these events. Second, they open early before official festival hours...usually 8 AM if the event kicks off at 10. Finally, the drinks are delicious. My companion enjoyed her mocha so much that we made a special trip just for that. As others have noted, prices are slightly higher not too out of line with other local shops. My 12 oz coffee (and her mocha) were $7 each but the quality and quantity are worth it. Other local shoos I adore charge $4-5 for smaller cups. You're supporting a local business, and you're also paying for the convenience. Definitely give Quinn's a try when you see the distinctive pink truck.

I finally got to try quinn's coffee bar today at the Artfest!…read more I decided to get an energy drink because ya girl needs it haha. The drink is pricy for the size BUT i understand it's a small business so it doesn't hurt much. They were really friendly & helpful with ordering as a first time buyer. They had good music playing & overall i was glad to try! edit: they use AI to promote their business which is distasteful & lazy so i dropped a star.

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.

There's a little table there for those confused about that statement. They have ample seating, if you want window with sun or not, and the place wasn't loud which was nice. I visited after the morning rush hour, so can't quote on the noise during those times. All in all, pretty laid back place and easy to locate! Corner of State St. and 17th!

Yummy coffee and great seating!!…read more Service was fast and friendly. There is a good selection of coffee drinks and non-coffee drinks. I tried the banana bread latte, which is one of their August specials. It was really nice and the cinnamon on top was a nice touch. The interior is quite cozy with plenty of space to choose from to sit at. It seems like many people come here to study/work. There is also a small parking lot to the side if you're worried about parking. I would definitely come again to visit!

They offered insight on good latte flavors and were knowledgeable about food allergies. The service gets 5 stars. The atmosphere is wonderful. It's an open and bright setting with lots of seating and windows. Most of the tables have "idea cards" which have thought provoking questions and conversation starters. They even have some board games available to play. The ambiance gets 5 stars. The food was PHENOMENAL! As someone who has dietary restrictions (gluten free, mostly dairy free, and mostly vegetarian), there were great options! They didn't have a ton of options, but they did have a vegan and gluten free breakfast burrito that was delicious and didn't even taste vegan or gluten free. My partner got a breakfast sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also had a couple options for gluten free pastries which is always appreciated. The food gets 5 stars. I have absolutely no complaints or recommendations. Idea Coffee gets 5 stars all around and I cannot wait to come back.
