Merlin's Coffee — Restaurant in Hanover

I didn’t have any coffee before leaving the house. This place was close by and easy to walk to. It is a quaint little coffee shop that sits by itself. The young lady behind the counter was pleasant to talk with while getting my coffee.

There were so many ways to get your drink, it was overwhelming for my first visit. Since it was hot, I got an Iced Irish Cream Coffee. They had some pastries, but I was walking around, so not a good idea.

It also had a cat theme as you could tell by all the decorations. There is a donation center setup for the local animal rescue. Outside on the small terrace area there where you can exchange plants.

It is a very cozy place with some seating inside and out. I heard a customer say that his wife dropped him off there because it was his ‘adult daycare center’ 🤣🤣🤣

If you need a coffee and pastry off the main road, stop here. It is quiet and a nice little oasis away...

Another great Coffee shop in Hanover PA! (Went after the second half of my disc golf tournament at Codorus got called for thunderstorms) Merlin's Coffee, cat themed (but no actual cats, we asked and sadly there used to be but apparently someone complained...) The lady there was delightful, and the Coffee was absolutely fantastic. (I absolutely wanted to order a second one to go... Lol) they sell whole (or ground to order) beans in a couple dozen flavors and locality) varieties. I wound up with a half lb of chocolate mint truffle and a half lb of chocolate raspberry. While there I had a delicious iced Nutty Irishman (hazelnut, Irish cream, chocolate) and my partner had a hot Dirty Cat (Ovaltine and white chocolate) which I got to take a few sips of, both were really good! The pecan bun thingy (I forget the name) was super delicious...

Merlin's Cafe is an intriguing instance, tucked away in the little town of Hanover. Its decor consists of cat memorabilia, cat photos, and... well, a cat. It's a small building, the sort of café that tends to attract a crowd of eccentric regulars. And as that goes, it is quite successful in doing so.

The owner, Eric, is a gruff but well-intentioned fellow, maybe not serving coffee with a smile, but a smirk at the very least. One look at the back-left wall will tell the astute observer of his political views quite clearly.

As for the menu, it offers drinks of varieties both piping hot and pleasantly chilled, as well as various donuts, for an inexpensive fee.

Overall, the coffee shop offers a typical coffee-shop experience, and the price is alright, considering.

For the Guide, this is Alex,...
