My food came out incorrectly and they fixed it right away, no questions asked. It was my second visit, my boyfriend's first. The food & drinks were delicious.

We stopped in to get lattes on our way out of Lancaster. I ordered a Carmel frappe which was really good. My husband ordered hazelnut cappuccino and lived it. There is a nice sitting area while you wait. We will definitely return.

Discovered Butter and Bean while participating in the Lancaster County Coffee Trail. They quickly became my new favorite spot for my coffee fix. Also be sure to try the breakfast pop tarts, you won't regret it!

Guys this is a must-go. Trinity and Josie were the best and they just knew how to bless us. It was my first time and I will definitely be coming back. Their coffee was so rich in flavor and I got the pumpkin spice latte. They make all their syrups in house. GO TO BUTTER AND BEAN!!

Who knew a breakfast pop tart would be so good! Light and flaky, but nicely filled. Coffee was delicious and the barista laughed at my lame jokes, so that’s a bonus. Only negative might be the lack of atmosphere because of the bright lights and ceiling tiles like an office would have. Not enough to remove a star.

When I was 14-18(I am 23 now), i used to always go to this place called “The Coffee Station” there was no place that coffee was better. When covid happened I went there, they were closing down. This bothered me being the avid coffee lover I am, as their drinks were cheaper than Starbucks, the same size, and WAY BETTER. Since then I have not been able to find a coffee place that blows my mind. About 4-5 months ago, my new girlfriend and I went out to tanger outlets and tried this coffee place. I was expecting the same old decent coffee, but not amazing coffee, something I could probably make at home. My first sip was heaven, this was the first place that was as good as my teen years coffee stop!! They make the best frappes ever I would seriously consider checking these guys out. I own a house in the city I try to go here once a week every Sunday and ask for a caramel frappe with butter latte flavoring and a shot of peppermint. I got one today around 10:15 and it was AMAZING.
