“ The honey lavender iced latte was . Just the right amount of lavender to taste it but not feel like you’re drinking soap. And not overly sweet. Just right. The girls behind the counter were engaging and kind. Overall a great experience. We didnt stay but there was plenty of room to sit inside and enjoy your treats. Outside there were 2 large l-shaped benches with low tables if you wanted to enjoy the lovely weather. Definitely worth the stop! ”
“ Happy to stop by here! Coffee, sweets, and some art stuff in a place. Cappuccino was creamy and rich. Although the pumpkin sauce I added tasted a little bit weird for me but the coffee was great overall! Eggnog muffin was flavorful! The crumbles on the top was soooo good. Muffin part was fluffy and soft but slightly dry. ”
“ Had a cherry blossom expresso drink. Was definitely different and interesting. The cherry foam on top was my favorite part. The staff were very friendly,and I did not have to wait long for my drink. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Cozy atmosphere. Incredible staff. Great tasting hot drinks. Cozy Casper hot chocolate gets the chef's kiss. Winter drinks are here! Still delicious, whether you are in the mood for hot or cold beverages. Amazing staff and a clean space to chat and relax. March: Still a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy incredible beverages and friends. ”
“ Every time I come here, I get a latte for myself and a drink for my boss. I've only been here a few times but I've never had a single complaint. It's obviously a fan favorite of locals because of all the foot traffic this place gets. Definitely worth the wait if the line is long ”
“ Black cold brew for the road, glad to have found this place along the way. Seemed to be a nice atmosphere to sit & sup in; but we were traveling with kids and were on a bit of a timeline. ”
“ Great coffee shop near downtown Gettysburg that has a wide selection of fun drinks, especially their seasonal flavors. Their spooktacular fall flavors are delicious with my favorites being the grey ghost latte and the cozy casper latte. They have non-dairy milk alternatives (oat and almond milk), which are offered at no extra cost, which is quite nice! I also really like their baked treats that change from time to time. Their Cookies n Cream cake was unbelievably tasty and not too sweet. They also serve either plain or everything bagels with hummus or cream cheese spreads, but I wouldn't recommend their bagels and their spreads are not house-made, but one should go there for their coffee! The staff and service are impeccable with friendly and fast service. There is a great dining room to work in with free WiFi. They also sell a wide range of DS backs like Mister Ed's Old Fashioned Candy, locally baked macarons, honey, earrings and other small gifts. ”
“ We stopped in on a Saturday evening because Starbucks closes at 7 (Bantam is open until 10 on Saturdays). I'm very glad we did! This adorable cafe smells wonderful inside! The cashier was friendly. There is a small seating area that cannot be seen when you enter. The bathrooms are very clean. We paid 11 for a chai and a cappuccino (both 12 ounces). We visit Gettysburg often, and will definitely return to Bantam. ”
