Ancestor Coffeehouse & Crêperie — Restaurant in South Londonderry Township

From the moment I first stumbled upon this hidden gem – and "stumbled" is the operative word, more on that in a bit – I knew I was in for something special. To put it plainly, the coffee here isn't just good; it's in a league of its own. I'm talking top-tier, the kind of brew that makes you close your eyes and savor every single nuanced note. Honestly, and I don't say this lightly, it's arguably the best coffee I've had the pleasure of tasting in the entire area. My initial visit, admittedly, involved a slight navigational hiccup. I found myself circling a bit, unsure of the exact location. However, a quick call to the establishment swiftly resolved my minor predicament. The person on the other end of the line was incredibly helpful and within moments, I was guided to the realization that this delightful coffee haven resides inside the Snitz Creek Brewery. It's a clever little setup, and now that I know, it's a breeze to find. Since that first enlightening cup, my girlfriend and I have become, shall we say, devoted regulars. "Obsessed" might even be an understatement! It's become our go-to spot for a morning pick-me-up, an afternoon treat, or even just a cozy place to unwind with a perfectly crafted latte. Each visit reinforces our initial impression: the coffee is consistently exceptional. Beyond the stellar coffee, the overall experience is truly noteworthy. Despite its growing popularity (and for good reason!), the wait times have never felt unreasonable. The staff manages the flow efficiently and with a genuine sense of care. Speaking of the staff, the service is consistently amazing. Every single person we've encountered has been incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They clearly take pride in what they do, and their positive energy adds to the already welcoming atmosphere. Knowing what I know now, it's no surprise that this place has garnered such a loyal following. It's more than just a coffee shop; it's a little oasis where quality meets exceptional service. And the fact that it's nestled within Snitz Creek Brewery adds a unique and interesting dimension to the experience. You get the best of both worlds – fantastic coffee in a cool, laid-back setting. Looking ahead, my anticipation is already building for my next visit. I've heard whispers about their crepes, and they are definitely next on my must-try list. If their coffee is any indication, I have no doubt that these crepes will be equally delightful. So, to sum it all up: phenomenal coffee that stands out from the crowd, surprisingly manageable wait times, and genuinely amazing and kind service, all tucked away in a unique location. It's a solid 5 out of 5 stars from me, and you can bet I'll be back again, and again, and again. If you're a coffee lover in the area, do yourself a favor and seek out this hidden gem – you won't be...

We stopped here on our way from Lebanon County to Hershey, just on a whim. We thought they offered lunch, but only crepes and breakfast sandwiches on the menu. The food and specialty drinks were very good, the place was clean, and the staff was friendly. Since the place only had a few patrons in and out of the building, it gave us a chance to really see the character of the building and business. I don't know what the history of this place is, but when you look close enough you can tell that they were trying to keep it authentic. We thought it was clever how it appeared to be a coffee shop by day and a brewery at night, and the aesthetics worked. I could see the parking lot being an issue on a crowded Friday night, though. This place definitely felt more of a local watering hole than a tourist trap, though I can see the business vying for the travelers from Hershey and...

Update: Thank you for making your drinks piping hot now! I actually smiled when I burned my tongue because I was sooo happy it was hot and not just warm. I've also noticed a big improvement in the food. The bagel sandwiches are awesome and even when it's super busy they are staffed well and get the orders out quickly! Thank you ancestor!

Really wanted to like this place and gave them many chances. The matcha lattes are way too watered down and sweet, every time I get a hot drink it’s Luke warm, and it took 25 mins to get a bagel when there were 4 employees working (3 standing around, 1 making all the food herself). The positive aspects: they have cute rotating flavors of macarons and lots of unique drink options. My favorite drink is the campbelltown fog! Overall a cute vibe but would definitely go somewhere else if Palmyra had...
