Aura Espresso Room

Food was great and a welcome alternative to the offerings at the hotel we stayed at, which was just a stone’s throw away. Cute walk-up window and benches for sitting on the sidewalk. We came at a good time on a Sunday, but a line formed soon after us and there was a a bit of a wait. Don’t go if you’re in a rush.

If you’re looking for the perfect dog friendly window to get coffee in Lancaster, look no further than Aura Espresso Room (they even brought out a water bowl for my pup)! I got a Snickerdoodle latte, which was so flavorful. They even use real Italian espresso, which makes for a high quality, consistent drink every time! After getting my coffee, I walked to the square to sit and enjoy it and it was the perfect morning. I will be back and absolutely recommend!

My husband and I love coming here every time we’re in Lancaster. The coffee is delicious! I love the “Golden Latte “ the blue algae latte and so much more. The owner is wonderful ! It is a pleasure talking to her every time we come to visit. This is the definition of true , authentic , delicious coffee! If I lived in Lancaster , I would be here everyday! I would never drink those chain coffee places again!

Best coffee downtown. They use high-quality ingredients and know how to make an espresso. Nothing makes mornings as great as a rich and aromatic cup of coffee. They also have a great selection of pastries and sandwiches - my favorite would be the Italian, with ciabatta and prosciutto, it's an absolute dream.

Passengers are travelers, and you should travel right around the block to this little gem. This is how espresso is done. Not only did they make it correctly they actually gave me a double shot when I asked for a double. It is annoying how many places give you 25% more and call it a double. They have added breakfast recently. As I was enjoying my drink the people I was with got annoyed how often I kept interrupting what ever story was being told to say "wow this is really good Espresso"

I had a WONDERFUL vanilla Chai latte. It wasn't loaded in sugar, so you could really taste the spices in it. It was truly different from your mainstream Starbucks, panera, or dunkins. Additionally, the grapeleaves were delicious and served over a nice salad. It was a great vegan meal, I prefer my dolmas with meat, but these were packed and flavorful. Final not, the gentleman who served us was friendly and well informed. He answered our questions confidently and served us quickly. I fully recommend people stop by.

What a wonderful little place to grab coffee! This morning, I stopped over for some brunch (which was AMAZING!) and some matcha tea. I also order an expresso. It is important to state that the expresso was NOT BURNT. The beans smelt and tastes fresh and it was soooo wonderful! It reminded me of being in the Mediterranean. I haven’t had a good expresso like that in years!! And as for the matcha… it is high quality! If you know your matcha, you will love Allra’s. I am sure this place will remain a staple of beautiful Lancaster city for a long long time!
