Joe on the Go Coffee Co at Lampeter Cafe — Restaurant in West Lampeter Township

Let me begin by saying this is some of the best breakfast food I have ever had. The service is also unmatched by anywhere else I have been. I highly recommend this place.

My family heard about this place from Wandering Passports, a PA Instagram travel influencer. We were planning to stop by quickly on the way to Lancaster. We order our food and sit down in the restaurant. Our visit entailed an unexpectedly loud noise level and a screaming child, contrasting the typical cozy cafe feel, though we could still hold a conversation at a normal level due to the spacious seating.

After a short time, we received our drinks. My sister ordered the blue raspberry and pineapple refresher, not knowing that it was carbonated. It tasted almost like a Blue Lagoon. We explain the situation and they generously offer to remake the drink with lemonade in place of the club soda. It was much better and she enjoyed the remade version. This was the first sign of accommodating service.

My dad enjoyed his canned half and half lemonade iced tea, and my mom enjoyed her iced white mocha latte, which had a strong, full, coffee taste. It was a good iced coffee.

We ordered bacon, a toasted bagel, and a heated scone and muffin. It took about 20 minutes for our order to come. We saw the people who ordered after us receive their meal of prepared hot food before us, and we started to think they forgot about us. Not a minute after, the owner comes up to us apologizing for the wait, comping our whole order, tip included.

Our order got misplaced and went behind the people after us. The owner was incredibly apologetic and very generous with comping us. On top of that, the head chef apologized by providing us with the peach special (pictured below). Apparently the owner hadn't even tried it. He is missing out because it was very delicious!

All of the food was certainly worth the wait. The everything bagel was one of the best bagels I have ever had. It was sourdough and almost had a hint of sweetness to it. My sister--who normally disliked everything bagels--loved it and said it was the best bagel she had ever had. She and my dad also enjoyed the bacon, saying it was cooked perfectly--slightly crunchy. My dad wished it were a little chewier.

The key-lime coconut scone was good, though subtle in the coconut. Even better was the muffin vanilla blueberry muffin, which was so sweet while not being rich. It was a very good muffin.

The peach desert we were presented with was also incredible. The perfect mix of the sweet peach, sour cherry, and rich cream made for a wonderfully balanced breakfast dish.

While we would have been satisfied enough with our meal if the staff hadn't intervened, their kindness made our morning. The service is what really brought home the experience. The workers were very friendly and personable, and clearly cared about their customers. If you ever pass by this place or live nearby, I suggest you give it a try. Before tip, our meal totaled to $33 (not including the free dessert), which is a reasonable price for the quality of...

My first visit was disappointing. Just a couple of customers in the restaurant at lunch time on a Tuesday. There were 3 people behind the counter and as I can tell one person in the kitchen. It took 40 mins (after 30 mins I went up to check on our order) to get a salad and a cup of soup. For an additional fee you can add chicken, I am a vegan, I SAID NO CHICKEN, I also had an option for dressing (why ask if you are going to give the wrong one). The salad came with chicken on it, they took the salad back, not sure if they remade it or not cause it came back within 90 seconds. They had the wrong dressing on the salad, absolutely no flavor or seasoning. I also had a Chai Latte, I requested oat milk and got regular milk, I gave it to my friend. I did not get a receipt so I am not sure if I was charged for the chicken or not, but left a 20% tip to order at the counter and before I knew I had to clean up my table. I had 1.5 hours for lunch and was 15 minutes getting back to work. Folks, we really need you to do better. I will come back one more time at some point, hoping for a much...

In a few words... amazing food, beautiful atmosphere and kind & welcoming staff!

We ate here for the first time today and everything was perfect. Staci was warm, friendly and welcoming and encouraged us to eat in the summer kitchen room and shared a few details about the history of it as well. It was a cozy and private area to eat in the cafe, which we loved.

Our drinks and food were prepared quickly and everything was delicious. My husband had the Lancaster Hash and said he could eat it every day. I tried a September special and loved the touch of hot honey on top of the hash. My latte was also wonderful with a great balance of flavor and sweetness without being over the top.

This place is a gem with a wonderful balance of classic dishes and new flavors with their monthly specials. The food, atmosphere and warmth of the staff made it an incredible visit and we cannot...
