I’ve been coming to Cocalico Coffee Crafters for about a year and a half now—and I should have written this sooner. CCC is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a place with the warmth of a hearth, and the heart to match. Their Haitian espresso is rich and flavorful, the food’s solid, and the baristas are friendly. The space is large, and they fill it with good energy.
But what really sets this place apart is the people. When I was going through a rough patch, I spent countless hours tucked away in a corner writing. Not once did anyone bat an eye at whether I ordered one coffee or ten, whether I took my meals there or not.
I always got the same welcoming smile, and authentically good energy from the staff and owners alike.
Owned by two genuinely kind humans, Rachel and Scott Elliott, this shop has quietly become a place of refuge and community for folks around East Cocalico—and I’ll always be grateful for what it gave me when I needed it most.
Be sure to check out their site for menus or event rental information—I've not been in attendance to any, but I've seen the care with which they prepare: They're who I'll talk to next time I need...

The shop itself it adorable, and everything is extremely clean (including the bathrooms). I have my go to iced latte just about every morning. Sugar free vanilla and their homemade THM (Carmel tasting sugar free sweetener). Their food is delicious, including their homemade dressings and dips, and they have incredible homemade muffins, scones, cookies and cinnamon rolls. If there is ever an issue, the staff is always so helpful and always on top of fixing anything that may arise. The espresso and coffee are well loved by our entire family. I love that it is smooth and gives you the good taste and pep without any headache or stomach issues that can arise from some roasters. Their beans are low acid and organic-so perhaps that is what makes it so good? Again-I am there almost everyday and have recommended them to several people that I know. Grateful for such a great little place nearby. They are closed on Sundays, so we often stock up for...
Read moreMy boys and I came for a carryout lunch (we had a gift card), and let me tell you, everything was WONDERFUL!!!
From the moment we walked in the door, the atmosphere was inviting and warm. In the corner they had a play section, with a kitchen and other really cool toys. The boys were in heaven.
I was able to order our food while they played. Such a game changer for us. Then when we were waiting, we got a pager to let us know when our food was ready. While we waited we went outside and played on the playground. Another huge win for us today!!
We got the B.l.e.a.t. lunch special, Turkey Rachel, crispy chicken sandwich, classic wedge salad with chicken, waffle fries and sweet potato waffle fries.
Everything was absolutely delicious!! The attention to detail was amazing, and those fresh, red juicy tomatoes, so, so good.
I also got my husband a caramel macchiato, he was thrilled with it!!
We literally can not wait to come back.
Thanks for such friendly service, catering to families and the incredible quality of food you...
