Departure Coffee made one of the best vanilla lattes I’ve had in the U.S. (and I’ve had a lot)!
From friendly service to delicious homemade baked goods and fantastic drinks (drip coffee, chai, and lattes are all great), you can’t go wrong.
There is plenty of open seating with tables and couches perfect for meeting friends or reading. The atmosphere is very calm and the huge windows bring in lots of the natural light.
I cannot recommend Departure enough!

Been here a few times but I stopped today on a bike ride along the rail trail and lemme tell you. That coffee and pastry revived me. Some of the best I’ve ever had. Also great customer service. 10/10 for me!

Departure coffee is my favorite special treat of the week! Right down the road from me and love getting to support my local coffee house. Their food and drinks are top notch. I bring all my friends to try it out when they are over.

We have been walking on the rail trail for several months now and our “Go To”, place is Departure Coffee in New Freedom. An outstanding place to get a great cup of Capuchino. Melanie is always a delight to order from, and her Baristas are the best. Departure Coffee is close to the rail trail, dog friendly with a water bowl and outside seating as a bonus. Our visits are always refreshing and not only can you get great coffee, there plenty of great cookies and pasties. If you are near New Freedom on the rail trail you must stop in. I think you will love this place. Please keep in mind they are closed Monday’s and Tuesday’s.

A wonderful addition to a well deserving community that has waited a long time for a local coffee spot! The Bialys (strawberry & blueberry) were absolutely delicious, we had to try one of each and did not disappoint. Could not ask for anything fresher! I ordered a Blue Hearted Iced Matcha -part of their drink special for spring and it was delicious! Nice and flavorful, not too sweet! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, accessible parking, a little section of merch to purchase! Handful of tables and areas to sit inside and socialize or get some work done. Looking forward to seeing this business thrive and grow in its new home!

Stopped by Departure Coffee in New Freedom, PA for the first time today, and I’m really glad I did. The space is beautifully designed with plenty of seating, making it a great spot to relax or work. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had a brown sugar and gochujang cookie—unexpected combo, but it worked perfectly and was seriously delicious. I also tried a pour over featuring a single origin Ethiopian from Vigilante Coffee. Bonus points for being right off the NCR Trail, which makes it super convenient for a coffee break before or after a walk or ride.

This place is an absolute gem! I always look forward to stopping in for a Barista Morning Pick — it never disappoints. I also love that they serve Vigilante Coffee, which is one of my favorites and makes every cup taste incredible.
And I have to give a huge shoutout to Melanie… she makes the best cookie ever. The Local Legend is truly named perfectly — it’s a 100/10 and honestly worth the trip all on its own.

Was one of my coffee stops when they were in Hanover pa at the markets , finally made my way over and as always did not disappoint would rate them as 10 stars if I could. Awesome baked goods, coffee was flavorful and refreshing at the same time atmosphere and people are amazing as always highly recommend giving them a try and dont be shy to try somthing completely out of your normal it’s worth it . Always friendly and willing to go the extra mile to help you find something you like and to make sure you feel welcome.
