Chevere Cafe

This vibrant and cozy cafe in Lancaster City really hit the spot! We wanted some lunch with flavor and Chevere Cafe came through. Service is friendly and quick. The price point is fair and portions are big. I ordered the Cubano which came on perfectly toasted bread. It did not contain the traditional mustard instead it had mayo ketchup which made the sandwich extra tasty. My hubby had the pernil platter with arroz con gandules and tostones. We ordered the beef empanadas and some quesitos to go - guava and cheese. All of the baked goods, including cake slices, tres leches, flan, etc. looked so delicious it was definitely hard to choose! They also offer fresh tropical fruit juices and fresh coffee including cafe con leche. Tropical sodas are available too - kola champagne, coco rico and othe

This place is a hidden gem in Lancaster. The food is definitely authentic and has so much flavor. If you’re a cook or a foodie, you can tell that they use good and fresh ingredients. Most Spanish restaurants tend to be on the salty side with their dishes but this place knows how to season food well. The food is properly seasoned but it is not salty. The food portions are a bit small for my personal preference but you’re getting quality food. I had Sancocho with white rice and a Farina on the side just because I wanted to try it. Both had excellent flavor! Definitely coming back to try more thins on their menu.

The food was decent, Puerto Rican food. Unfortunately, the service was a bit off. Some items were forgotten and we had to remind them, and the side of tostones took longer than expected even though the café wasn’t busy. We also ordered a latte but were given a tea instead, which seemed like a misunderstanding. Overall, the food was good, but the service could use a little improvement. 3 meals plus 3 drinks and 2 quesitos came out to $68 dollars.

We visited Chevere Café in Lancaster, PA, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I had the “El Criollo” breakfast sandwich, and it was everything I hoped for and more. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. We also tried a “Quesito”, and it did not disappoint flaky, sweet, cheesy and absolutely delicious. The welcoming atmosphere made the visit even better; the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. You can really feel the love and pride that goes into both the food and the service. I’ll definitely be coming back Chevere Café is a true gem in Lancaster! 🌟 🇵🇷
