Ancestor Coffeehouse & Crêperie

Ancestor Coffeehouse & Crêperie (Lebanon location) is one of those places that's busy for a reason. Every time I've gone, it's been absolutely packed, and this visit was no exception. We actually ended up grabbing one of the last tables in the place. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a local coffee shop. It's warm, cozy, and full of energy. You can tell it's a community favorite. We ordered two crêpes and a couple of their February specialty coffees, and everything was fantastic. One of the crêpes we got was the Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake, which was sweet, fresh, and perfectly balanced. It wasn't overly sugary but definitely dessert worthy. The other was a savory crêpe with called California dreamin' with provolone cheese, bacon, spring onion, apples, and arugula with a bals

Excellent coffeehouse. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. We were greeted with a smile and everyone was very friendly. The food is made with fresh ingredients and it shows. I had the pumpkin cheesecake crêpe and it was everything I wanted. I was smiling with every bite. I also had one of their hot seasonal lattes. A bit too sweet for me, but I ordered with extra espresso to balance it out. My husband got the 717 Sammy and the apple walnut crêpe. He was very impressed with the flavors. We will definitely stop by some other time.

Drinks are excellent and sweet crepes are good too. The savory crepes are ok. It is pretty costly for the food for a self serve cafe. The environment is nice though.

Went here today with my wife, daughter and her fiancé for a quick bite. The space is really nice and has good atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food all tasted great, we had a combination of bagel sandwiches, savory and sweet crepes. Hash browns were a little small and underwhelming, but not bad. One huge caveat to this review is that the crepes are made with buckwheat flour and not all purpose. I didn’t see this posted anywhere in the store or on their paper or online menu. Problem is,I’m VERY allergic to buckwheat and could feel it in the first bite. Ended up visiting the ER to get things under control. Not the direct fault of anyone at Ancestors, but it would be a good idea to make ingredients like this visible to avoid this in the future.

Ancestry Coffeehouse in Cornwall is excellent—easily the best café in town. The food is consistently high quality, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming without feeling forced or gimmicky. I haven’t visited their Campbelltown location yet, but it’s on my list. As far as I know, Ancestry is the only place in Lebanon County where you can reliably get good crepes, and they’re a standout. I go out of my way for them and enjoy them as often as I can.
