Great local diner with everything you would expect and even some surprises from the bakery. Service couldn’t be better-located right behind York College it is a favorite of both students and York locals. Give the Baklava Cheesecake a try…or apple turnover

Our new favorite breakfast spot! The food is excellent, and the service is quick! Plus it’s very cozy inside and the owners are so friendly- you can tell they love what they do, which is so important!

The name, Colonial Coffee Shop, is a bit of a misnomer. Colonial is a diner, not a coffee shop. If coffee is your objective, do not expect exquisite blends and custom mixes – you will get pretty typical diner coffee.
However, if you keep your expectations aligned, you will find yourself pleased by the excellent food, friendly and homey atmosphere, and the outstanding wait staff. We had typical breakfast with coffee. Our waitress was attentive, and the food was prompt and tasty. We were on our way to work, so we needed a quick meal, and Colonial delivered perfectly.

Such a sweet little place. The atmosphere is relaxed yet busy. The food is fantastic, and the portions are just right. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the food came out in a timely manner. Kind management and lovely surrounding shops. Come here if you’re looking for a good meal and/or a nice place to pass time.

Colonial has amazing food run by an amazing family! Always a great experience! Quick service with dine-in and to-go options, and close to the hospital and York College. The Athenian omelet is the best – truly homemade tzatziki sauce

Colonial Coffee Shop is an absolute gem! Despite its cozy, intimate size, this bustling little spot manages to maintain a wonderfully calm and relaxed atmosphere—a rare combination that makes every visit feel special. Even during peak hours, the vibe remains welcoming, as if the chaos of the outside world melts away the moment you step inside.
The food here is *outstanding*. Every dish I’ve tried is fresh, flavorful, and served with impressive speed—I’m talking under three minutes from order to table! Whether you’re grabbing a hearty breakfast or a leisurely brunch, the quality and care put into the meals are evident. It’s no wonder this place has become my go-to spot for starting the day right.
But what truly sets Colonial Coffee Shop apart is its people. The staff radiates kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality. Their friendly smiles and attentive service make you feel like family, adding that “right at home” comfort we all crave.
If you’re looking for a place that combines delicious food, lightning-fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere, look no further. Colonial Coffee Shop is a little slice of perfection—don’t miss it! ☕

Very clean. That must be why people like it because the prices were higher than the local diners with sub-par food. Not kid friendly. You have to twist their arm for spoon and crackers for soup, extra napkins, and water refills. Take your hard earned money somewhere else.

Absolute fire breakfast. Potatoes were nice and crispy and eggs were cooked to perfection. Delicious coffee and juice plus friendly and quick wait staff
