Prince Street Cafe

1:36:00 AM

I'm always surprised by how much I actually end up enjoying meeting up with old friends. I always get the idea in my head that I'm going to run out of things to say or have to keep up a certain image. Luckily, the friends I have right now are the ones who always surprise me with how much they accept me for who I am.... But enough about that! I crossed off a couple things off my personal bucket list today! I've been looking for an excuse to go to this cafe for a long time now. Luckily, it hasn't lost its charm.

Prince Street Cafe is a locally owned cafe focused on quality food and community. They support and offer products from local businesses which allows for a truly unique experience in which you know exactly where your food is coming from. And if you're truly curious you could head down the street to the Central Market and have a pretty good chance of meeting the maker of those products (which we happened to do later on in the day! But that's another story...)

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)

Oh, I also picked up this interesting soft drink, which was intriguing but ultimately a little bit disappointing. It was essentially a sparkling juice that kept the actual fruit pulp in the drink. It was refreshing and really did taste of passion fruit but I suppose I was expecting a little more pulp when i drank it. I tried to get a good picture of it, but you can actually see the pulp settled at the bottom.

I also got the five bean chili with kale (*Vegan alert). So good and so satisfying!

Didn't disappoint. Just sayin.

Prince Street Cafe also sells their own merchandise, like this travel thermos which also has the map of Lancaster on it. I'm actually SERIOUSLY considering getting this after holding it in my hands and watching my friend buy one for himself. Someone hold me back...
