Sip, Savor & Explore Charming Cafés

For high-quality, freshly roasted brews, visit Tastecraft Coffee in Milton or Lewisburg. Both locations are known for their craft lattes, French macarons, and wonuts — a waffle/donut hybrid. If you’re looking for something more substantial, they also serve breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soups, salads, and hand-dipped ice cream. Try seasonal flavors with a craft coffee flight and vote for your favorite. Many guests recommend the French Toast Latte, which pairs well with a wonut.

At Backhouse Cafe Coffee & Tea, enjoy the best Italian-style espresso-based drinks and fresh-baked pastries in Williamsport while relaxing in a cozy Victorian mansion. They also offer a large selection of teas and savory options, such as quiches. Curl up by the fireplace on a chilly day, or enjoy porch or lawn seating as the weather allows. Visitors rave about its historic ambiance, the variety of seating options, and their signature Rachel latte.
