Passenger Coffee's reputation in Lancaster precedes itself. I don't need to sing the praises of this outstanding roaster. I will say that folks traveling from outside the region will want to place this at the very top of their list of coffee houses to visit when in-town.
The Carmo blend coffee is hands down the best coffee I have ever had. Ordered online and it ships fast and coffee is fresh. Also ordered the Divino Nino and that was delicious as well. The best part about the coffee is how smooth it finishes. I will typically add just a small splash of cream to smooth out other coffees. Not needed here. Can't wait for my next order to come in the mail!
I haven’t had the opportunity to visit the cafe but would like to in the future. I was introduced to Passenger coffee when I was at a different restaurant a few years ago and had hands-down the best coffee I had ever had in my life. When I asked if they had any beans available for purchase, the barista just started raving about Passenger. They only used Passenger beans and she immediately referred me to their website. Their subscription service is amazing. I have tried so many varieties of beans than I normally would have passed on because “I wasn’t sure,” and typically play it safe with a blend. The only bad thing about Passenger is your palate gets use to extraordinary coffee very fast and almost everything else that is easily available tastes like garbage. My only recommendation (if anyone from Passenger reads these) - I would love if I there was more educational information about the coffee I receive each month. Even if it didn’t come with the coffee, it would be cool to have a link, email, etc that I could go to and learn more about each one.
Great coffee and the staff is both helpful and kind. Love this company and my fiancee and I go there every chance we get!
