A popular cafe that we stop by for breakfast. A large menu. Everything weve tried has been great. Small plates. Lots of seating options with many outlets. Plenty of smoothies and hot drinks. Steps to get in building not wheelchair accessible. Friendly staff and enjoyable relaxing place.

Stopped in for some coffee with coworkers. While we were waiting, I was admiring the tea pots and other merchandise they have for sale. The shop has a pleasant atmosphere and customer service has always been on point every time Ive stopped in. Their menu is quite extensive with lots of great food and drinks to offer.

A coworker suggested Prince Street Cafe as a great lunch spot and Im so happy she did. They have easy online ordering for pick up and my order was ready super fast. My caprese sandwich was delicious and their multi grain bread is great. But my new addiction is going to be the Green Smoothie. It is so delicious that I might just need to order 2 next time!

Awesome place! Right downtown in a convenient location. We had some delicious cappuccinos and enjoyed very friendly and accommodating service. My friend who grew up in Lancaster calls this her favorite coffee shop in the area.

Picked up a delicious breakfast sandwich from Prince Street yesterday. The online ordering system was easy to use and it was ready on the counter when I arrived. I mistakenly thought that they forgot the oatmilk in my cold brew but they kindly offered to add a little more after I expressed my confusion. The bacon egg sandwich was delicious and the cold brew was smooth. I recommend the cinnamon spice syrup addition.

This was my wife’s and my first trip visiting Lancaster!Day one: southwest chicken burrito and autumn turkey croissant. The side salad with the pickled onions and vinaigrette truly set it apart from the average side salad! Every bite in each of our items was balanced with flavor!Day two: (everything was so good we went back!) Two home fry bowls and two cinnamon spice lattes. These bowls were served with a generous portion for a hearty meal. The chipotle ranch contain the perfect level of a mild kick that balanced with the sunny side eggs.Would highly recommend!

We decided to get something to eat before we went to the Fulton across the street. We got to the cafe at 1:25 and ordered easy to go things - avacado toast and green pepper soup. At 1:40 I had to ask if our order was going to be ready soon. The play started at 2:00.The food was ready by 1:43. We grabbed an outside table and had to gobble down our food. Not very pleasant at all. Would not recommend if you are on a fixed schedule....a

Have always loved Prince Street, but hadnt been there in years, since going vegan. I was so excited to see all the vegan options, I texted my mom and sister and set up a breakfast date asap! It was so good and we will be back regularly!

Shhh, don’t tell anyone that this might be the best coffee shop in Lancaster! Great coffee, free refills if you stay, oat milk option, tasty bagel with peanut butter. Nice high-end dishes, music not too loud, friendly staff, comfortable work space, clean bathroom. Thank you Prince Street Café!

Very good coffee spot. I ordered the Nutella cookie sandwich, which was too ambitious for my stomach, but it was delicious. Dont eat it unless you plan to walk it off directly afterward. 10/10 though!

The food has always been delicious the three times Ive been there. I like the cafe vibe here! They have limited inside seating area so a big group isnt ideal to take here. But they offer take-out. Its clean 👍🏻

This is an excellent coffee shop. Perfect for hanging out with your friends or for studying your homework. The breakfast sandwiches are fresh and hot and full of flavor. Lots of nice coffee options with nice big cups. The decor is a nice industrial rustic style that gives a warm cozy feeling. The staff is friendly and ready to serve.

A nice spot for an informal lunch. I have to admit, I work in the area and dont go out to lunch as often as Id like, so when a friend invited me to lunch here, I jumped at the chance.The selection of food and beverages is good. I enjoyed a salad with assorted fresh berries and my friend had thr quesadilla. My salad was delicious and the quesadilla looked good as well. I will have to try it next time. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.The Cafe has a comfortable, casual vibe. It was full but not noisy. You do need to bus your own table when done but thats not a big deal for me. Ill definitely add this to one of my local favorites.

Prince Street coffee is great! Sad with no dine in option currently as there is so much room, but great place. Trendy and modern feel. Baristas are super nice and my drink was delicious. I ordered a cookies n cream smoothie and added a shot of espresso, which is not on the menu, but was delicious. It should be and I highly recommend. Also, 99% of their products are compostable.

Ive always enjoyed this place. Its convenient to several theatres and things to do. The coffee is excellent and food is good. Try the baked oatmeal. You wont be disappointed. It can be a bit busy for the space, but the atmosphere is warm and makes for the quintessential the Lancaster City experience.

Prince Street Cafe is one of my favorite go-to spots in Lancaster for lunch! One of my favorite items to get is the chicken quesadilla. I love adding avocado to it. Im not a huge fan of their coffee. It tastes a little burnt, but I do like their unsweetened iced teas and smoothies.

I’ve been having great experiences at Prince Street Cafe for almost ten years now. It was one of the very first places I visited in Lancaster, and after many years as a customer, I had the privilege of working at the establishment for over two years from 2017-2019. I’m so thankful for this cafe that has now become such a staple to the Lancaster community!

Very nice find while visiting Lancaster! Excellent coffee and tasty menu. They had great acai bowls, and egg sandwiches for their breakfast menu. The vibe is lively, and we didnt feel uncomfortable bringing our 4 and 6 year old inside to dine. Industrial, hipster decor.

Wonderful Cafe. Prince Street Cafe has a wonderful fast casual food menu paired with some of the best drip coffee that Ive tasted. The staff were friendly. The food is genuine made to order and not the throw in the turbochef imitations that you will find at Starbucks.

Best cup of Coffee! It is on the European level of perfection. I day dream of their vanilla cappuccino and hope to find another to top it. But everyone seems to come up short. Till we meet again old friend.

Was not a good dining experience for me and my mother. Extremely crowded very very noisy. The food was okay. I got the grilled cheese with apple and fig jelly. I tasted no apple there was very little cheese on the sandwich. My mother got the chicken quesadilla, not very much chicken on the quesadilla. The food was okay. I really cant recommend this restaurant. Dessert was a good though I had the apricot pistachio strudel my mother had a lemon poppy seed muffin both were delicious the highlight of the meal.

Went there with a friend yesterday who was waiting at a table outside while I went in and waited 30+ minutes on our order. While I was inside, a couple of other customers came up to my friend and said “are you even using those chairs, we need them” and my friend told them she needed them and that I was inside. Well, the other customers called the manager who then went outside and was really condescending and nasty to my friend. She said “heyyyy so we need these chairs, maybe you should go to a bar instead” and then she gave our seats to the other customers while I’m still waiting on our order. Very unimpressive, if I could give 0 stars then I would.

Plenty of space to sit and have a conversation. It can be tough to find parking outside, depending on the weather and timing. Refillable coffee is $2.75, so a little bit pricier than the chains, but you get a better product for your money.

Best coffee in Lancaster! The staff are all courteous and helpful and the ambiance inside the cafe is top notch. Theyve added outdoor seating too.

Review №84

I ordered the Berry Patch smoothie and thought it was subpar for the $6 price. You couldn’t really taste the berries used in the smoothie - Instead, the apple juice used to blend with the smoothie was too overpowering. I also believe using too much juice and not enough ice played a factor as why the smoothie was too liquidy. Overall, I believe improvements need to be made to the recipe for the Berry Patch smoothie.

Love hanging out here! They currently have Passenger Cold Brew in bottle form which is so awesome!! This is a great place to hang out and chill or catch up with someone! The art on the walls is from local artists and is available for purchase. That also means it is always changing and is awesome! You should definitely stop here!

It’s a cute place but on the pricey side. For a small regular milk caramel latte to pay 6 dollars it’s ridiculous. It’s more expensive than Starbucks and not even nondairy.I don’t think I would come back to this place. I’ll rather do square cafe where prices and latte meets my standards.

First time Ive been there in maybe 2 years or so. Great atmosphere, and I would say a nice place to bring work into. Good food, good (Passenger) coffee, good service. This is a sitdown place. Expect a bit of a wait for your food. It is worth it.

We strolled in on Sunday (yes its open on Sundays) and I got their African Peanut soup and it was so good we ordered more haha. We also got the couscous salad and it was just tasted crisp refreshing light healthy just everything youd want in a salad. The cafes here in Lancaster set a steep bar for restaurants to compete.
