About Mean Cup

Located at 398 Harrisburg Ave, Lancaster, PA 17603, Mean Cup operates as a cafe serving Lancaster in Pennsylvania. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 7 AM–4 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. No phone number is listed for this business, so the Google Maps link on this page is the best route for directions and any contact details Google has on file. Its website is meancup.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Lancaster is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Lancaster follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Love the people who work here. And the coffee is nice, too. I appreciate the nice vegan options!

Espresso based beverages are smooth, no bad aftertaste, however, if you go with the standard amount of espresso per size, it ends up just tasting like milk. If you actually like the taste of coffee, make sure to ask for an extra shot or two. Thankfully the prices are very reasonable so an extra shot latte isn’t going to break the bank. The food is okay, nothing exceptional but will do in a pinch when you get your coffee. The customer service is standard, nothing bad nothing good. Overall a decent coffee shop in Lancaster with good prices.

I liked this cafe enough. It’s more about speed and efficiency than it is about good coffee it seems. With Franklin and Marshall right beside it, I’m sure it’s catering more to the student rather than the coffee lover. Their coffee is cheaper than most, which is nice, but their sizes aren’t big, which is probably why they have cheaper prices. I liked the vibes of the cafe, but it was a bit loud for conversation with the music blasting.

A marvelous place to come for a warm cup of coffee on a cold day. I got the Costa Rican blend. i’ve never been to Costa Rica. But I imagine that if I did, it would taste like this cup of coffee.

Came here on Labor Day at 12:30pm (thanks for being open!) There were a lot of people working on their computers I would assume from the surrounding college. We were fortunate enough to find some seating outside, while there were space inside, everyone kind of seemed in grind mode. Service was pretty straightforward for coffee shop. The aesthetic is very hipster coffee shop vibes and decor is admirable. They do not make their own syrups however, I do believe they make their little snack choices (vegan cakes and snack stuff) in house. There seem to be a lot of coffee bean choices and some yummy drink specials. I chose the cappuccino at first but was given a 12 oz latte like drink that was too exciting. The espresso didn’t really carry through my choice of milk: oat (although I did ask for whole milk-no biggie though.) I later purchased a cup with peanut brittle syrup and ice to make an iced latte. The flavor of the syrup was a nice addition and carried the coffee. My friends caramel iced coffee was average. Good coffee flavor but not too aggressive and on borderline of water-like in my opinion. I was appreciative of the condiment bar they had for the coffee including simple syrup. T
