Amazing atmosphere! The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The owners are really cool guys. I have to say their coffee has a unique and flavorful taste that stands out. I love their handmade cups, made by a local artist. Another plus is that their baked cookies are really good. Fun fact, this is the only place I’ve found that offers pumpkin spice out of season, which is awesome since I’m an October baby. Last but not least, this shop proudly supports local artists.

Great vibe. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable baristas. I had a well made Americano and a really yummy walnut maple scone that was the perfect texture and not too sweet. Lots of people coming and going and even a small group having a business meeting in the front area. Coffee roaster in the back, bags of green beans all around. Fun, high quality place.

Lit coffee roastery and bakeshop is one of the better coffee places here in Lehigh valley. I came here today on a beautiful cold Friday winter morning to get some coffee to warm myself up and I absolutely loved everything about this place. It feels very cozy, warm, comfortable and homey. They have a great menu with regular items and also seasonal items too. They bake all their baked goods at home so it’s all fresh. I got their vanilla late and it was actually pretty good. They have a great pastry menu. The staff are also amazing people and they are very kind. Overall, I loved the place and I would definitely recommend it 10/10.

Lit Cafe is literally my go-to spot whenever I’m meeting a friend. The coffee? Always on point. Seriously, it’s consistently great—rich, smooth, and just the right kick. The vibe of the place is something else too. It’s warm, cozy, and somehow still really cool. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel like you’ve been going there forever, even if it’s your first time.
What I love most is how the whole place just flows. The decor, the music, the people—there’s this unspoken harmony that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Even the other customers seem to be in sync with the vibe—everyone’s just chill and cool.
Highly recommend if you want great coffee and even better energy!

Lit Coffee is always my favorite cafe to visit! Whether it’s to grab a pastry to go, or to study for a few hours, the atmosphere, staff, and quality is always amazing. It also does an amazing job of promoting community events and goods. The ricotta toast is my favorite!

A very nice coffee shop in little Bethlehem, PA! About a 5-10 minute walk from Lehigh University, this coffee is some of the best I have had in a while. I had a hot spiced bourbon latte, and it was incredible! The pastries looked delectable, but I didn’t try them so I can’t speak to that, but definitely will be having one next time. They also have farm fresh eggs, kombucha, tea, and matcha. The barista I spoke with was delightful and very helpful. Inside there are plenty of seating choices and some beautiful handmade pottery. Overall, a great coffee shop for a morning beverage, afternoon pick me up, or study/work spot.

This is a very cozy place with lots of tables and seating for studying. They seem to sell a lot of local merchandise and baked goods! I regret getting the matcha latte this place is likely more known for their coffee. The matcha latter taste very watered down I would not recommend. The scone tasted very healthy but it was not too sweet which is nice.

This place has local art and a good deal of charm. We had a very thorough opportunity to take it all in while one oat milk latte and one matcha latte took approximately 22 minutes for them to make with no more than three people in line ahead of us. It was no mystery why; the woman at the register made protracted upsell small talk with anyone who would listen, and the barista moved at the pace of John Paul II (at the end of his papacy). At one point she interrupted her actual work to give two teenagers who’d returned to the counter with their iced brown sugar lattes (on a 27° day) an immersive masterclass in how to add Torani syrup one quarter-drip at a time, tasting and swirling after each addition like strip mall sommeliers.
I watched a Western Pennsylvania dad who was visiting his soft, espresso-confident son wait at the counter for 16 minutes ahead of us for a small black drip coffee. It seemed like his heart was already broken, but the image broke mine. There was simply zero consideration that customers waiting for coffee might have something to do. Perhaps some would find that charming, but I had a job to get to on time, and we had tipped on a credit card, with no way to take it back. The drinks were fine.

Adorable coffee shop with unique pastries and coffees.
There’s comfy seating in the front (by the window with all the plants) but there’s also seating with tables if you have to get some work done.
They have the standard coffee items, but they also serve a variety of newer items (soda served with a shot of espresso). Staff were kind and helpful with questions.
But let’s talk about the pastries. I have never seen flavor combinations like what they serve here. (They don’t make them on site, they’ve partnered with some other companies). Strawberry, sage, and coconut? Guava and rosemary? Balsamic carrots and pickled red onions in a pastry?!
Sadly we only sampled two of their items, but they were incredible. I had a cheese steak pastelito with an abundance of sesame seeds, which I thought would be too many seeds, but it wasn’t. The seeds added to the flavor, not overpowering it. Hubs had the mango and rosemary pastry. The two flavors balanced each other and were very enjoyable.
I definitely want to come back to try some of their other coffees, pastries, and to enjoy the overall vibe.

Very cozy coffee shop on the South Side. Plenty of seating and sofas to comfortably lounge and drink coffee. They have some games, books and magazines you can use as well. The staff are so friendly and nice and the coffee they make is amazing, way better than Starbucks.
