I like it here- always have. Cold Brew on Tap and Nitro too. It was pretty full tonight so I opted for takeout, and went for a walk instead. Its well lit inside which makes it ideal for days that I cant focus on work at home. The food is really good but this time I just got coffee. The employees are always smiling so I imagine they like their job which is always a good thing! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes which made me happy.
The coffee was good!The experience of a coffee shop was lacking for me. The seating is a little tight. For me a relaxed atmosphere contributes immensely to the whole 3rd wave coffee culture. The staff was 50/50 in their response (some were very courteous, some were too cold).But then again, The coffee was good!
Ive always enjoyed my trips to Cafe One Eight. The staff is very friendly, reliable internet, great atmosphere. I love their scones, and all of the drinks are good options. (Seriously, all of the food and drinks are great!)If I had a word of warning, it would be rush hours. Everyone loves this place, which can make it quite busy, particularly mornings and lunch. An excellent choice of Cafes, but dont expect Starbucks-level speed. However, speed is sacrificed for quality, so not a bad trade at all.
Very nice little Cafe. Great service and a really good chicken Caesar salad that had more than enough chicken. I was tempted to drop a star because the table had not been wiped since the last patron but i am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I will certainly return and be more adventurous with my menu choices and let you know if I get a clean table next time.
Wow I love it! Didnt think Id find better breakfast than Gracies but I did. Lots of health options and I loved the lattes. I dont drink coffee so they were perfect. Pumpkin chai latte. The green tea latte isnt sweet btw. The baked oatmeal was sooooo good. Not too sweet. Also, their gluten free bread tastes so delicious. I had to double check that it really was. Loved everything.
Fantastic breakfast food and a frankly perfect latte makes for a great start to the day. A calm aesthetic with white-washed brick and wood, but bustling with people. 5 stars easy.
Gluten free bread with Mango smoothie was top notch. Light decor. Chill vibe
Great breakfast, friendly staff. Free coffee refills with a house cup which is nice when you have a couple hours of work to do. Gets loud over lunch time.
Cute little cafe! Seating inside and out. The smoothie was delicious! (Id give the smoothie alone a 5 star!) The fruit that came as a side dish: the strawberries were rather past thier prime, but the oranges were juicy.
Nice place great food had a nice meal... very small eat-in dinning room to be honest but I would recommend it.
This was a really excellent breakfast. I got the pesto sandwich and my girlfriend got the baja. We were both so thrilled that we felt the need to jump online and leave a review. Cant recommend enough!
I wanted to like this place. But its pretty hard to. I think today was my last visit.First, the coffee is gross. Their espresso - no thanks. Tried four times. The last was the last.Second, you can go in and get one pastry for takeout ... and they will ask you every time if you want to leave a tip. For what? Handing me a pastry? No. Ask your boss for a raise. Thats so awkward to ask customers that ... I dont know how they do it. But all of them do.Third, I was in there today and the song that was playing was singing about Jesus. I mean, its a coffee shop, not a church. Huge turnoff to be playing religious music in a public place.And lastly, I was disappointed in their handling of the pandemic - they were one of the businesses that didnt really follow the rules. You could walk by and see the tables packed with maskless people. But ... I guess they made money, so thats all that matters.Better places to go than here.
One of my favorite places to have a meeting or drink some coffee while getting work done. Good for options as well.
Breakfast sandwich was awful. My family ordered a few varieties and not one was good. For the price I had higher expectations. Way better options in the city.
Cute little cafe with friendly staff. Quick service for how busy it was. Croissant and sandwich were delicious. Great coffee too!
Wonderful little place. Very friendly. Clean and great food. Go here, youll love it.
Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Great coffee!
Food was good and fun variety. Cute place and friendly atmosphere. If you are eating gluten free ask if they share the grill w gluten containing food, as I did get sick after eating here most likely due to cross contamination.
A little something for everyone; backed by a tasty menu and pleasant service. Their specialty coffees, parfaits and blueberry muffins are terrific!
This is an amazing place. The food is awesome and well prepped! I wouldnt trade this cafe for any other one in the city!!
Always an upbeat and positive vibes. The staff is very nice. The food is excellent. Go early, they do get busy. For a quieter setting try going on the off hours .
Super amazing food and lattes! Everyone was pleased with their meal! Friendly staff! Highly recommend to anyone passing through the area! Stopped on a whim and plan to come back when in the area
Wonderful staff. Great espresso
Great menu with variety. Food was delicious and staff was friendly.
Charming little cafe downtown with delish dishes and coffee drinks. Highly recommend for any one with food allergies. Fantastic latte options, I had the maple sea salt and it was yum!!
I had a good experience with my fiancé. This was our first time visiting Lancaster city and we happened to walk into this cafe because it was freezing outside and we parked nearby. Their caramel lattes were very good and their Lancaster burrito was extremely filling, I couldn’t even finish the whole thing. I would recommend trying this cafe out the service was also very good. Our food and coffee was served quickly especially with all the large crowd.
Awesome place with a great vibe. We had great drinks and charcuterie board.
Lovely atmosphere and the Caramel Dream latte was great! Very rich espresso with a little bit of sweetness.
Delicious food, cool atmosphere, and efficient staff. We ordered a make your own sandwich with a latte and cold brew. The space was clean, cozy, modern and filled with happy customers.
I came here for the first time on Saturday. I ordered a latte (iced) which came out premeal and was very delicious. However, it had one thing that upset me.... The barista had already planted a plastic straw in my cup, I am learning that when I go places I have to remember to say no straw because its habitual for people to do. i travel with a probable straw, so I dont have to use plastic.i then ordered the roast beef and horseradish sandwich which was also very well prepared and tasty. However, I didnt expect this to be a hot sandwich... The menu did not say. But next time I would order it cold. You could see this was a quaint place that had regulars. They would call guests by name and make those interactions personable. Definitely will be back.
Only complaint is that the food was pricey. Very good! But pricey. The lattes are spectacular, and we enjoyed ours so much that we each bought a second one for the road.
This place is awesome! Good food and the coolest cafe environment ever! Go support this amazing small business!!!
Awesome breakfast! I had cinnamon swirl French toast with berries & yogurt covered in honey. He had the Lancaster Egg Burrito - sausage, bacon, tomatoes, roasted red pepper, potatoes, eggs & provolone cheese (minus the tomato). Coffee was self serve & choice of 3 brews. We hoped to sit outside, but it started raining as we walked from the car. Inside is the typical hipster white/wood/brick decor, clean & simple. Service was very friendly, food came quickly. We were both happy with the meal.
I love this place. Its one of my favorite breakfast spots in Lancaster. Staff is always welcoming and food is always delicious.
This place is one for the books!! Great selection of drinks and sweet delicacies like the Acai bowl packed with so much fulfilling flavor. Try for yourself!!! The people were also very welcoming as though they were taking us into their own home!!! Loved it!!
Im not much of a fancy coffee guy but the food is awesome, simple good food. I come for the grilled cheese sandwich and the brownies (huge fudgy brownies). The staff is always pleasant and attentive.
Amazing coffee. Ordered a simple almond milk latte and it was perfect. The aesthetic here is really great. My one concern is the number of people allowed inside the cafe at one time during the pandemic, because dine-in is available and at some points we felt a little crunched. We chose a spot by the window, hoping to avoid the crowds, but 5-7 people were backing up at the counter and out the door at once on top of the 10 or so already seated, not wearing masks. Staff was super friendly!
Such a clean, beautiful, and delicious environment. They serve the best soup and chai in Lancaster county.
The menu was simple yet thorough. Typically, a small menu leaves somebody in your group having to compromise, but I was happy to see there was an option for every taste.The cafe interior was full of happy patrons. A good sign that I was in for a good meal. Everything was clean and the staff was attentive and courteous.I was feeling a vegetarian meal tonight, and the only veggie spot I was familiar with in Lancaster was a place called Root. Root is a great place to go if you and your friends diet is geared only towards vegetarian or vegan dishes. Yet, the varied offerings from Cafe One Eight gives you a place to take everyone. Which, in my opinion, makes it a far more sensible choice for the everyday bite.The vegan lentil soup was thick, but still thoroughly moist. Well seasoned, as a potage should be. Seldom does a vegan soup sooth your soul on a 20° evening. I found my hunger, as well as my apprehensions, were completely settled. So satisfying, I had to save the salad I had ordered for a few hours later.My maple tahini bowl salad was mixture of thoughtfully prepared ingredients. While served separated, sitting side by side in stark contrast to one another, complimented each other the way friends from different walks of life do. The stress of the day had been completely masked over by the many tastes this single dish offered.If I didnt live two hours from Lancaster, I would be strongly consider eating here every time my day needed a positive reset.
Always enjoy my time here. Great coffee. Great location. Great service. Great atmosphere. Overall great!
Amazing Baristas and Coffee!
Maybe Im biased because the snow was falling perfectly outside the window when I went, but this place is movie material.Great coffee, not the best sandwich, but amazing-everything else.
I hear it is a great place for breakfast if you are able to climb the entrance stairs. Unfortunately, If you are disabled and in a wheelchair as I am you are out of luck since Cafe One Eight is not accessible. Cannot wait for Yorgos to serve breakfast again as it is the only wheelchair accessible restaurant in Lancaster to serve breakfast.
This place is awesome. Everything from atmosphere to cleanliness to friendly staff and great service. And of course the food is so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place. Has a really cool vibe. Prices, IMO, were reasonable. The portions were large and the freshness and healthy food is well worth every penny.
I love this place! Service is always great and food is awesome!!
This place is my go to place for fresh brewed coffee, for morning brekkie dates when the place first opens and is quiet before the morning rush of people needing to wake up on good food and joe, for evening meet-ups with dear people in my favorite corner with the pleasant hum of a quiet crowd also enjoying the space, and for time alone with a latte and a book. GO SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY GATHERING PLACE! Show up, order food, buy coffee, go see what I see in this place!
Nice atmosphere..loves the bread in the avocado toast
Amazing food, (roast beef sandwich and muffins are unreal!) great hospitality and wonderful atmosphere!
Awesome food and great people!!
Great atmosphere and good food!!

Great spot to have a coffee and read a book.
Coffee was fantastic and the blueberry muffins were the best I’ve had in a long time!
Had a nice breakfast here the place was clean and the staff was great
Sleek looking place, kind staff, and delicious coffee!
Cute place. Great service. Great food. Awesome coffee.
Highly recommend Cafe One Eight! Their food is top-notch, fast, and very good. Staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I would go here more often, if it was a little closer to me.
Awesome coffee and baked goods in a nice setting with pleasant staff!!!
Great coffee! The Cobb salad and tomato soup were delicious and the ingredients were fresh. The presentation was also very attractive. The place was very busy. Tables were claimed as soon as they became available. The two girls stayed calm and were very friendly.
Would highly recommend this local business for a fantastic atmosphere and quality food and coffee!
So so good! The pastries are delicious, smoothies are top notch, wraps are great! Egg sandwiches are definitely the best deal around $5 and so delicious. Everything else is a bit on the pricey side but very good quality. The prices for avocado toast and some of the sandwiches could be lower since they are around 10$ and small portions.
This was once one of my favorite places. Spent many days working on research and ordering great coffee and sandwiches. But unfortunately they have decided to endanger our community by ignoring health guidelines and opening for mask-free indoor dining. Will not give my business to a company that puts me, my family, my neighbors, and my city at risk in service of anti-science politics.
Great coffee. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. The mousse dessert was very good, but the muffin that looked so good in the case came out hard and cold as if it was refrigerated. So if you get that, ask them to warm it up.
I lived above Lancaster cupcake for 2 years and made 18 my second home. They have a tomato bisque soup that is better than any Ive ever had in my life. I ask if they have it every time I visit...even at 8am. They also have Square One coffee which if you havent had is some of the best youll ever get. Theyve got great food options and free WiFi and its a cute place. The owners are really wholesome as well. Love supporting this place!
Delicious food and a wise choice of savory versus sweet, paired with remarkable cappuccino, good vibes and very nice staff..., makes this a great place to start to explore the central market area of Lancaster.
My favorite cafe in Lancaster. Always pleasant service, fresh food, and delicious coffee.
Excellent. Great food and friendly staff.
Great prices and friendly staff. I will definitely be returning.
Maybe a bit too much whipped cream on the hot chocolate but other than that its very nice
Came in there 30 minutes till close and the staff were very polite and nice got a cappuccino it was small but very good definitely plan on going again
Very friendly staff, huge variety of coffee and teas, delicious banana bread and cozy/homey environment. Would definitely come back again if I’m in the area.
I love it here! Perfect atmosphere. Food is delish! Employees are down to earth and so friendly. They easily accommodate my need for gluten-free adjustments with the items on their menu. And they have the best chai tea in town :)
