Sydney roasting company makes my favorite beans for making cold brew at home. I also love their lattes at the cafe. They make their own syrups, which are just so good. I had a peanut butter s’mores latte that was so dang good. The peanut butter wasn’t overpowering and the espresso was on point. They always have monthly specials that I highly recommend you try! One month they had a chocolate covered strawberry latte that tasted exactly as advertised! The cafe has a ton of seating and I love the cat vibes.

So now that we are living on this side of Lebanon, today we explored this awesome cafe. Sydney Roasting Co
We had a great lunch there.
Mom had the Turkey Cristo she loved it and I had a taste of her sandwich, 😋 yum.
I had the quiche spinach and feta with a side of sausage and delicious peppers.
One of the girls there made me there mouth watering almond joy Expresso iced coffee, I will be back for more.
The ambiance is very relaxing and cozy.
Love the decor and the beautiful grand piano at the back of the cafe really sets the tone for a nice luncheon or just to grab a book and enjoy some of their delicious coffee.
The desserts were also fantastic, the cinnamon bun is a must try.
Not to mention I love that they give 10% off to healthcare workers and help the humane society, now that's a cafe I can stand behind.
They care about their community and that's the cherry on top for this pretty rad cafe!🤗

The plus side to the Java Journey.. you get to see all the coffee shops in an area where you would never go. The downside... You get to compare all these coffee shops to each other and decide on the locations you will never go back to.
We went here as one of the stops and I can now say I won't be returning. The cashier took our order. We got three of the Java Journey special drinks and two sandwiches. We spent over $30. After waiting over 15 mins for our food we asked where it was.. for context the place was dead. One of the people at the counter said I don't know I just make the drinks?! Wow... Okay but you work here? .. that's quite a rude response..Apparently l we learned they had thrown away the ticket... Suggestion -actually have a ticket system. The woman making the sandwiches then said she was sorry. I don't blame her specifically.. the fact that we paid $30 and you threw away a ticket and act like it's not your fault? It is your fault. Newsflash to the three women working TODAY... Communication is key in the restaurant business actually TALK to each other. If you're doing the Java Journey good luck with this place!.

Made me wait 5 minutes at the counter before taking my order. Cafe was only half full.
Didn’t take my food order at 10:30am despite stating on the website and storefront that they serve till 2pm. Other people just had food served.
Atmosphere lacking, floor dirty.
‘Drip coffee’ came from a ready made thermos.
Not coming back.

I was not very pleased with their customer service. I ordered a Mrs. Fig and a frappe to go. The frappe came in a couple moments. After what felt like waiting very long and noticing that customers who came after me were being served before me, I asked about my sandwich. The lady asked the other lady, "Were there two Mrs. Figs?" And the lady who was taking the orders replied that there had not been two Mrs. Figs. She turned to me and said, "I'm so sorry another customer must have taken it." I found this a little amusing, since I had been sitting right there and never heard her call out that she had a Mrs. Fig ready. Well whatever, maybe it was some silent order that she didn't call out. Who knows.... When she brought it out to me I asked that it would be to-go. And she apologized again, which I appreciated.
I took my sandwich to south hills park to enjoy in the sun. My Sandwich has no lettuce, tomatoes or onion on it, as though I had ordered a Little Miss Figgy, but I had not. I ate it anyway since by this time I was very hungry and with the road work in Lebanon, it makes getting anywhere take very long.
This was my first time here and I won't be recommending them.

I visited today for the first time for the Java Journey. My drink was good, however my food was horrible. I ordered a croissant sandwich, specifically because I wanted a croissant. However, my sandwich was served on sandwich bread and was soggy. In addition, the staff was less than welcoming and not friendly.

Do not be swayed by the ugly exterior lol it is deceptively one of the greatest coffee shops in pa that I’ve tried.
Giant high ceilings, with an updated and modern interior. There’s a damn grand piano inside!
Their seasonal menu is what you should be ordering off of unless one of the awesome baristas (Skye) offers anything else. Proceeds goes to cats?!
I’m not into sickeningly sweet drinks so when the initial barista had offered the glittery coffee drink I protested. But they insisted on it being one of the best drink on the menu. They were right! A stunning glittery foamy coffee that was delightfully balanced arrived and I regret not getting a larger one.
First off their foam tops are incredible hot or cold, stays consistently throughout the bevie without it being slurped up the first sip. And their coffee is crazy I mean go sniff the roasted bags yourself, also like a bajillion different roasts to choose from my favorite being the unpretentious Espresso Blend they have :) go to any coffee shop and ask what their espresso blend is and you’ll see what I mean.
The only thing I haven’t liked about the spot is once the owner or manager or someone would not stop micromanaging their employee. It was audible enough for me to hear it from sitting 10ft away and it was right in the open kitchen area for all to see, very uncomfortable. So -.25 I hope that person isn’t managing there any more.

I have been here before and had a decent breakfast sandwich. Went here today and the quality and presentation was horrible. Both sandwiches cost near $20. The “ Monte Cristo” with the measly “side” of potato chips was a joke. The second, a bacon and cheese was worse. There was hardly any meat, both were sloppy, tasteless, and horrid. Bread was dry. I could go on. Hopefully this place can improve, but for now, spend your money elsewhere if you do not want to be disappointed and feel robbed. Positive: cashier rep was very friendly and welcoming. Made me believe I was in for a treat.
I stumbled upon this via uber eats and loved the coffee and thought I'd visit in person. Good to find a nice selection of breakfast too. Not too far from Hershey park , about 25 min drive. Vibe is welcoming and very spacious. I've seen some students working on their laptops ( there were tables with outlets next to them in case you need to charge your devices ) It's also family friendly. Looks like this visit will be a weekly thing for me now.
