This was my second visit to the coffeehouse and I was delighted each time. The crepes are delicious. I had a different one each time. The staff is very amicable. Service is good and quick. The ambiance is relaxing. I will definitely visit it again.

I really want to like this place. While their staff is friendly, their atmosphere warm, and their snacky bites tasty, their espresso needs major work. For a coffee shop, serving espresso based drinks that are consistently sour is a serious downfall. Those ordering sweetened drinks may not notice as much, but just try ordering a latte or cappuccino without any sweetener and the over-extracted sour flavor of the espresso for make itself known. If they up their espresso game, Ill revisit this rating...but for now, three stars is all I can offer.

Very nice local coffee shop :) Coffee drink prices are comparable to or even cheaper than Starbucks and tasted even better (in my opinion) so definitely worth it

Went to the Lebanon location and had a wonderful experience. They serve a mean iced chai, and the bananas foster cheesecake crepe is so freaking good. Super friendly staff, clean and comfy atmosphere (also plays really chill music).I may have to make more trips out to that area just so I can stop here again!

Great little coffee house with good food and service. An excellent breakfast destination. Best of all, its not a huge chain--just a few nearby locations and locally owned. Happy to support this place.

Family loves this place! My favorite drinks are the chai and matcha (hot, frozen and iced) and the syrup varieties are delicious add ins for drinks 😋The crepes and locally made desserts are phenomenal as well. They sell Sweet Velvet Macaroons and Whirling Dervish treats as well as their own products. Locally created artwork hangs on the walls and is for sale too!Try the Lebanon breakfast crepe or the Nutella with strawberries 🥰 Highly recommended!!!

Stopped here (1st time customer) for some lunch yesterday with the ladies and tried the frozen Caramel Cafe Latte and their savory Mediterranean Crepe. (Sorry I forgot to take any pictures of the amazing food.)It all was simply delectable on the taste buds. Beautifully decorated cafe with relaxing atmosphere as well as friendly service!

I went with a group of friends and ordered multiple crepes and drinks. The service was fast and very welcoming. Everything was delicious especially the Apple Honey Walnut crepe and the London Fog Latte! They have a gluten-free and dairy-free crepes!! The atmosphere is very chill - a great place to hang out.

Review №19

The Crepes are very creative and possibly healthy. The Sonder Coffee is nicely roasted and strong. I do sincerely appreciate this new local addition to the Lebanon Valley supported by The Stammel Family. But like the massive new development next door, Ancestor does not come with historic charm. It is perfect for hosting a bigger crowd and larger work space, aka a bit “Starbucks like”.

The crepes were awesome with lots of fresh ingredients and very satisfying. Also the coffee was great both brewed in house or to take a bag home.

$9.50 for a crepe with very little smoked salmon and a dot of dill cream cheese drizzle. Seriously? The coffee was good, but thats about it. Thats the one star. Ridiculously overpriced.

Great variety of options for all sorts of palettes, but plan for a bit slower service due to how much time it takes to make these freshly.

Review №38

Ive been to France and had authentic crepes. These are made in the same way and made to order. Of course since this is America, they stuff a lot more inside these crepes. In Paris you can walk around eating your crepe with one hand. At Ancestors you need a knife and fork. They are absolutely delicious though. So many interesting savory choices and sweet choices. All fabulous. The coffee goes without saying... You will get a coffee while youre there and you will enjoy it too.

A very modern store where you least expect it. They manage to mix a traditional creperie with a local touch of taste, and keep prices affordable.

So happy this place opened. I had the peanut butter, banana, and honey crepe and it was tasty. They make great coffee drinks as well. Try the honey lavender syrup. Makes a delicious latte.

They have a great selection of crepes or you can build your own. I had bacon egg and cheddar with spinach and walnuts. Theyve got great options for sweet crepes too. It wasnt a long wait to get them either.

Review №51

So, I went there to try it out on recommendation of a client. The crepes was good.The coffee however was absolutely awful. I had ordered their latte with their lavender honey. It was horribly bitter and I assumed maybe the lavender did not mix well.Well, I paid for a different coffee and went for my usual option of Hazelnut Latte. Same issue. It either is being brewed at such a high temperature that it is burning the coffee bitter or those beans are not fresh.Either way, I ended up getting sick from drinking the coffee. It was a very disappointing experience.

If you want to treat yourself, head to this coffee bar. It is worth the wait. In addition, they offer Thursday night classes where they will teach you latte art. it is a ton of fun, and a great scene, and a super addition to the local community

Despite being in the middle of a snowstorm in the septa of a pandemic Ancestor Coffeehouse & Crêperie delivered a cozy, friendly experience and delicious food. I had the apple, honey, walnut crêpe, which contained melted Brie cheese, paired with crisp apple slices and walnuts and topped with honey. It was fresh and delicious. I also had a latté, which was prepared well and piping hot. My crêpe was served on a paper plate with plastic utensils, and my coffee in a to go cup. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe that’s a COVID protocol. The location wasn’t busy, but it was snowing, so that wasn’t a surprise. It’s a bit off of the beaten path in a new development, but worth the drive. I live very close to the Campbelltown location, but I’d drive here again, as the menu is far more vast, and I found my crêpe far better here.

This is fast becoming my favorite breakfast place in Lebanon County. Relaxed, coffee house vibe, really good coffee, and friendly efficient staff. Best of all are the crepes! My wife orders the bacon, egg, and cheese and I order a sweet crepe (most recently the cinnamon sugar) and half way through we swap. Theyre absolutely delicious! Highly recommended.

Amazing coffee and crepes here. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. We love going here weekly as a family. It’s a unique idea for the area and delicious. You can’t go wrong with their menu options or build your own crepe the way you want. A must stop location that you will get hooked on.

My wife is a coffee drinker, she gives their coffee 4 stars. They offer a dairy free and grain free crepe thats still very tasty. Best thing for me is that they are close to the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail.

Food is okay but every time I come here, I end up waiting 45 minutes to an hour for food. I even tried calling ahead for takeout a couple of times and once I get here in the time Im told itll be ready, I end up waiting 20-30 more minutes.

Review №72

I have visited with different friends on a handful of occasions. There have been moments where our orders have taken some time, but the kindness of the employees and the taste of the product made up for that! I always end up getting a nutella and banana crepe with a caramel iced coffee. The crepe is delicious every time. In the iced coffee, I havent really tasted much of the caramel, but its still good coffee. I would definitely recommend coming here, and I will definitely be back some time soon!

I came here for the first time with my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter had been telling me about her experiences. I was not disappointed. The crepes were delicious and good sized. The coffee is delicious and the girls working were super nice. I cant wait to go back. They also have high chair/ booster seats for toddlers. Really cute place.

My wife and I ordered Eggnog lattes, not good at all! The coffee wasn’t hot, it tasted very bitter and just not even worth drinking. As for the crepes...they were cold, hard and a little thick for being crepes....definitely have had better crepes.

Amazing service, and a great atmosphere. My chai was a little bitter, as it was the end of the batch but immediately remedied with some simple syrup after only casually mentioning it. Crepe was excellent, and the cashier checking us out made sure the entire order was correct before cashing us out. Would 100% recommend!
