Cafe One Eight was founded in November of 2011 by a local couple. Born and raised in Lancaster County, they developed a love for Lancaster city through their involvement with a local charity organization. They share a love for travel and culture, especially Southeast Asia. Our name is taken from our address, 18 W Orange St. and Acts 1:8.

our mission

We are dedicated to excellent service and wonderful food in a comfortable, inviting atmosphere that promotes conversation and connection. Our Lancaster County Dutch heritage, along with a love for the best cup of coffee and delicious, fresh food, makes Cafe One Eight a wonderful place for any occasion. Our coffee is fairly traded and roasted right here in Lancaster at Square One Coffee. It's a privilege to serve every customer with the best service possible, because every person is important and because we care. When you taste the food, you'll know we care!

our values

We love conversation with our customers. We desire to go beyond handing you a cup of coffee and sending you on your way.
More than just customers, we want to know you as friends!
We care deeply about Lancaster and want to do our part to promote the growth and success of our city.
We love to have fun while we work, and want you to enjoy your time here as well!
