I ordered the Nutella crêpe with added bananas, and it was absolutely delicious. The texture was silky smooth, with perfectly sized chunks of banana throughout. My sister had the California chicken crêpe, which was surprisingly great—I never realized crêpes could be savory, but all the flavors complemented each other beautifully. My husband ordered the Oreo crêpe and loved every bite. I also had the mango and banana protein smoothie, which was fresh, flavorful, and really well made. My sister finished with an iced Nutella chai topped with cold foam, and it was the perfect sweet treat. Overall, everything we tried was excellent, and I highly recommend it.

Warm. Cozy. And Intentional.
Rachel’s REALLY leans into that café charm — smaller details, softer atmosphere, welcoming staff and AMAZING crêpes. The kind of place where you can finally slow down and take a deep breath instead of power-eating.
The fresh fruit crêpe was bright and balanced. The caramel apple crêpe leaned dessert-comfort and was so good. The Rodeo crêpe added a savory breakfast twist, and the California chicken crêpe brought freshness without losing substance.
The Peach Bliss was excellent !
Well done!
Sincerely,
Full Effect Eats ❤️ ️

We were highly encouraged to stop by Rachel’s on our way back from Hershey and it did not disappoint! The crepes are amazing and the kids loved the smoothies! Everyone in our group tried something different and all of us were thrilled. Our new strategy is going to be savory first and then split some of the sweeter options for dessert on our certain return visit.
Definitely expect a reasonable wait, but also well worth it. We are already planning our next selections.

This place gets very busy on a Saturday morning. We got here around 1030am. A wait line to be seated. They do have outdoor seating as well as indoor. Once seated, we were able to order our food. The waitress recommended the French toast crepe, so I picked that one. Very good and can definitely taste the cinnamon which i enjoyed.

We got here 20 min after opening and it was already packed, yet just enough room to be seated right away. We got pumpkin cookie dough cappuccinos that were delicious. The crepes did not disappoint. Our waitress recommended sauces that paired well and I’m so glad we got them. A comforting and memorable meal! Definitely worth waiting even though we didn’t have to.

Ordering online and picking up at the window is the fastest services and is well organized! There’s even heaters and tarps to help keep you warm during the colder months. My order is always correct and crepe is always warm. The atmosphere outside on their deck/tent area is cozy and enjoyable. Carly makes the most delicious coffee drinks! Salted Caramel Nutella Mocha is a must have! A great place to experience in Lancaster.

We love Rachel’s but this might be our favorite time there. the dill chicken crepe was to die for. just the right amount of pickle kick and we aren’t even dill pickle lovers. perfect. and the Tagalong dessert crepe was all of our favs- Nutella, peanut butter, bananas and tagalong crumbles. delicious!!! And our waitress was charming and. speedy. a wonderful lunch.

Really good specialty crepes. They are extra large, very filling, but also very tasty. You can’t go wrong with any of them. The Oyler and the Thai were particularly good. The wait can be long but worth it. Tons of things to do while waiting around the area. Definitely a must when in downtown Lancaster.

I was as truly looking forward to trying the crepes here, but unfortunately, what we received was far from even a decent version. My crepe was even drizzled with a very bright, artificial-looking syrup. On the positive side, the place itself is charming and beautifully decorated, with indoor and patio seating. The coffee was also quite good. If you’re new to crepes, you might find them acceptable, but if you’re expecting delicious crepes, I’d suggest trying something else on the menu.

We’ve been here several years in a row. First (and last) time. It was not busy at all, our waitress Stella took our order and that’s it. Never saw her again. Another waitress delivered our food. I watched the other waitress repeatedly checking on her tables. It used to be a lot better.
