By the time March rolls around, everyone in Lancaster County is ready for one thing: getting back outside. The first warm days of spring feel like a reset button—suddenly, walks sound appealing again, plans start filling the calendar, and a simple coffee run turns into something more.
At CoffeeCo Café, we see it every year. The second the weather shifts, people start pairing their coffee with movement—morning walks, weekend outings, and quick stops before heading somewhere new.
If you’re looking for ways to enjoy early spring in Lancaster, here are a few local favorites—and the perfect CoffeeCo drink to bring along for each one.
Start Your Morning at Central Market
There’s no better way to kick off a spring morning than a trip to Lancaster Central Market. As one of the oldest continuously operating farmers markets in the country, it’s packed with fresh food, local vendors, and that unmistakable weekend energy.
March is a great time to visit because the crowds are just starting to build again, but it hasn’t hit peak tourist season yet. You can take your time, browse the stands, and enjoy the slower pace before summer arrives.
Before heading in, grab a coffee from CoffeeCo to start your morning right. A classic hot latte or drip coffee pairs perfectly with a market stroll, especially on those crisp early spring mornings.
Take a Walk Through Lititz Springs Park
When the sun is out, Lititz Springs Park becomes one of the most peaceful spots in the county. The water, the open green space, and the quiet walking paths make it ideal for a mid-morning reset or a casual afternoon break.
This is where iced drinks start to shine. Even if the temperature isn’t fully warm yet, a cold brew or iced Americano feels like the first real step into spring. It’s refreshing without being overwhelming—and it pairs perfectly with a slow walk through the park.
Stopping by CoffeeCo’s Lititz location before heading over makes the whole experience feel intentional instead of rushed.
Make Coffee Part of Your Weekend Routine
Spring has a way of bringing people back together. After a winter of staying in, March becomes the month where plans start happening again—brunches, catch-ups, and spontaneous meetups.
CoffeeCo Café is built for those moments. It’s not just about grabbing a drink and leaving—it’s about having a place to sit, talk, and enjoy your time.
Some of the best ways to build CoffeeCo into your routine this spring include:
- Meeting a friend for a mid-morning latte instead of a rushed text conversation
- Starting your Saturday with coffee and breakfast before heading out for the day
- Using the café as a casual workspace when you need a change of scenery
- Making it your go-to stop before errands, walks, or local events
These small habits are what turn a coffee shop into your coffee shop.
Explore Lancaster County One Stop at a Time
One of the best things about CoffeeCo is that it’s part of the local landscape. With locations in Lancaster, Lititz, Landisville, Mill Creek Square, New Holland, and Ephrata, you’re never far from a good cup of coffee.
That makes it easy to build your day around it. Heading to a park? Stop for coffee first. Running errands? Make CoffeeCo your first or last stop. Visiting a different part of the county? Try a new location and change up your routine.
Each café offers the same quality and consistency, but with its own local feel—so even familiar stops can feel new again.
Spring Starts Here
March doesn’t need to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just about getting outside, taking your time, and enjoying the little things again.
A walk feels better. A conversation lasts longer. And a good cup of coffee somehow ties it all together.
