The cafe's aesthetic is timeless, and really revolves around the history of Lancaster City, Not only is it located straight across from maybe the most historical theatre in the entire city (The Fulton Opera House). It's kind of a historical museum in itself. The cups actually have an old map of Lancaster printed on the entire exterior; you can even find where we are on Prince Street!

 If anyone is wondering, I ordered a triple soy latte. Not my wisest choice of the day, my heart nothing short of exploded on the ride home but I would say it was worth it. My friend got an Earl Grey. By the way, their coffee and teas are a whole different menu to be reckoned with.

In the picture below if you can find "FULTON OPERA H." on the map and find the little box across the street, that's right about where we are in the cafe!


Remember what I said about local products? Check it out! Ebenezer Wholistic Foods! It looked like most of the other flavors had sold out, but I wasn't about to turn my nose up at the Standard Original Chocolate. Alongside of that, I also got a bottle of Sweet Greens Rijuice. Rijuice is a local cold-pressed juice company. They do offer delivery for their juices and cleanse packages, however, they prefer to do so locally as this allows them to have truly raw, un-pasteurized or pressure processed juices. This allows the juice to retain all of its nutrients and enzymes. (This also, is a whole different blog post to be done)

  The desserts use a base of dates which is the reason for the fruity tones. Dates are fruits from the date palm tree which are heat dried which causes them to have a syrupy, caramelized flavor.

  They also add carob powder into the mix along with cocoa. Carob comes from a pod just like cocoa does and tastes similar, but instead of the beans, it's the pulp that is used. Carob does not have the caffeine that cocoa has and also has higher fiber and calcium contents, however carob does not have the same texture or level of flavor as cocoa and so must be used in conjunction or in higher amounts than cocoa.


  The Goji Berry Original Chocolate allows the more fruity tones of cocoa to come through, it is probably my favorite product out of all of them

"I must confess, the view from where I sit has been rather grey." 

It's getting to that point of the year when I start to lose hope. When all the trees and green things start to seem like they'll never come back to life. When the sun starts to lose its color, and no amount of warm blanket seems to be enough to hold me over for the night. It's at this time that I look back, back to warm memories and happier times.
