1. Community Coffee
The slate is clean and the coffee is fresh at Slate Café in Lititz, where twins Emily and Eryn McCoy recently opened their shop. Though breakfast is served all day with features like banana pancakes and acai bowls, Slate also offers a variety of lunch options, with the West Coast wrap—a gourmet take on the chicken, bacon, and ranch combination—being a popular choice. The McCoy sisters, drawing from their Lancaster County roots and values, hope to build a place of comfort and hospitality where you will feel like not just a customer, but a guest.

2. A Tailored Shopping Experience
Kaletta’s has taken over the corner shop of Beaver and Philadelphia streets in downtown York, and the boutique is offering not just products, but an experience. Owner Jacqueline Bortner and her team focus on the “personal shopping experience of yesteryear” from their lines of sophisticated clothing, jewelry, and high quality home goods to the elegantly wrapped packages customers leave with. Bortner is excited to be part of the cultural scene of downtown York and has designed her shop with “the urban dweller in mind.”
