CoffeeCo
Our Story

Serving Lancaster County since 1983.

Ambiance with no pretense, friendly baristas, homemade food, and legendary coffee.

A coffee shop that belongs to the county.

CoffeeCo was established in 1983 as one of the first coffee shops in the Lancaster area. Over the years the business has changed, but the one constant has always been the incredible coffee.

John and Heidi Smucker are the fourth owners of CoffeeCo. They bought the business in 2015 and have worked to build on the great foundation that came before them.

John and Heidi love traveling, dining out, and spending time with their grandchildren. Their goal is to make Lancaster County — and beyond! — a better place to live by providing great jobs, excellent food and drink, and exceptional service.

Great food and coffee brings people through our doors. Community brings them back.

The Crew

We're not just serving coffee. We're growing people.

Most of our managers started as baristas, servers, and grill cooks. They stayed because the team feels like family, and it shows in every cup we pour.
