Mean Cup — Restaurant in Lancaster

Came here on Labor Day at 12:30pm (thanks for being open!) There were a lot of people working on their computers I would assume from the surrounding college. We were fortunate enough to find some seating outside, while there were space inside, everyone kind of seemed in grind mode. Service was pretty straightforward for coffee shop. The aesthetic is very hipster coffee shop vibes and decor is admirable. They do not make their own syrups however, I do believe they make their little snack choices (vegan cakes and snack stuff) in house. There seem to be a lot of coffee bean choices and some yummy drink specials. I chose the cappuccino at first but was given a 12 oz latte like drink that was too exciting. The espresso didn’t really carry through my choice of milk: oat (although I did ask for whole milk-no biggie though.) I later purchased a cup with peanut brittle syrup and ice to make an iced latte. The flavor of the syrup was a nice addition and carried the coffee. My friends caramel iced coffee was average. Good coffee flavor but not too aggressive and on borderline of water-like in my opinion. I was appreciative of the condiment bar they had for the coffee including simple syrup. The coffee cake my friend got was a little underwhelming and dry, but the vegan blueberry coffee cake with pecans was quite delicious and flavorful. I received it cold in wrapped in saran wrap, so it’s most definitely a great workplace/take out coffee shop. Would be a pleasant place to return to. Thanks guys :)

One double shot cappuccino with oat milk, and a blueberry vegan pecan cake thing came...

This place is literally the worst coffe place I have ever gone to in my life, not because of the coffee, in fact I didn't even get the chance to try it. I went there ordered a hot drink. The lady was incredibly rude, the atmosphere is so tight and crowded you have barely anywhere to stand and then they burnt my face. The drink was so hot that when j took a sip my mouth and lip burned. I don't mean in like an "ouch that was hot" kind of way in like my face is numb and red kind of way. I very nicely went in and asked for something to cool it down, I didn't bother asking for my money back because it wasn't really worth it price wise. The man gave me a burn cream and then proceeded to "apologize" in a back handed sort of way. He said "sorry but we make all our drinks at a 140 degree temperature, so" and then shrugged." I left feeling as though it was my fault my face got burned. Drinks are supposed to be hot but not to the degree where it burns your face and when something like this does happen perhaps as a business you should find a better way to help compensate...

This coffee shop is hands down one of my favorite places to work. The atmosphere is perfect—cozy, inviting, and always has plenty of seating, even during busy hours. It’s easy to find a spot, and the vibe makes it comfortable to share a table if needed.

The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely cares about their customers. Today was a great example: I was so deep into work, completely in the zone with my headphones on, and I didn’t even realize they had closed at 2 PM. When I finally checked the time, it was 2:20 PM, and a staff member had just then come over to let me know—no rush, no pressure, just a kind acknowledgment. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare, and it really stood out to me.

I always get a ton of work done here, and I appreciate how the space and the staff contribute to that. If you’re looking for a spot with great energy, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team that truly cares, this is the place....
