Cocalico Coffee Crafters

Nestled on Long Avenue in the historic town of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, Cocalico Coffee Crafters is a community‑focused café and micro‑roastery that serves organic, mountain‑grown beans from Haiti, freshly roasted on site each week. Visitors are greeted by the aroma of hand‑crafted espresso, pour‑over, and cold brew, alongside a menu of scratch‑made breakfast items such as avocado toast on house‑made sourdough, fluffy ricotta pancakes, and a seasonal charcuterie board featuring local cheeses, fresh fruit, and cured meats. The interior blends reclaimed wood, soft lighting, and a spacious outdoor patio shaded by umbrellas, creating a relaxed atmosphere for remote work, friendly chats, or quiet reading. Open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday‑Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the café offers a modest $$ price range, with most drinks under $6 and meals under $12. Cocalico Coffee Crafters also runs a Coffee Club subscription, private‑event space for weddings or corporate gatherings, and a seasonal flower shop that adds a burst of color to the storefront. The owners, rooted in Christian faith and a love for Haiti, emphasize direct‑farm trade and use 90 % seed‑oil‑free ingredients, aiming to restore hope to Haitian farmers one bag at a time. Whether you’re a local looking for a reliable morning brew or a traveler seeking authentic, ethically sourced coffee in Lancaster County, the café promises a crafted experience that fuels body and spirit.
