Little Amps has the best coffee in Harrisburg. The owner, Aaron, hand selects and roasts his own beans right there in the shop. He is fanatical about serving the highest quality coffee and espresso. He and his crew are just fun, friendly people who care about the community. In addition to amazing coffee, they serve a variety of pastries and sandwiches that are all top notch. Little Amps is a great place to hang out with friends, do some work or surf the web with free wi-fi over a great cup of coffee. Also easy to stop by and grab a cup to go, especially during the week because street parking is always available after the locals head off to work for the day. Stop in and say hi to Aaron, grab some fantastic coffee and a snack, then take a look at the vinyl collection he has for sale. I promise youll be back for more! Little Amps also hosts a variety of events from Third in the Burg to live music -- and they seem to be happy to rent the space out for private parties.

The best coffee shop in Harrisburg. Theres something for every kind of coffee drinker here. Pour overs are up to modern standards, and the Cold Jar is fantastic. Some of the different espresso-based specialties are very innovative and unique, giving you something new to try if you dont want another vanilla latte. Their roasts are very high quality and have been my favorite to use at home. Pretty expensive for a 12 oz bag (around $17), but you pay for quality and thats you get with their beans. I will say that the staff can be hit or miss. Sometimes extremely friendly, or sometimes the girl making your pour over starts flirting with another customer, forgets what she made or that its ready to be served, and calls "pour over at the counter." At least mine was the only one so thats fine. Even so, either location of Little Amps should not be missed if youre in Harrisburg.

I had the mocha and a spinach feta croissant, which were both good. My boyfriend had the nitro cold brew, which was also good. Nothing was really scrumptious, and I was a little nauseated when I realized the little girl that had been loitering in front of us before we could order, sitting on the counter, had free reign to stick her fingers in the stacks of cups and pick up whatever she wanted from behind the counter. At one point she put both feet on the counter and was about to stand up when I asked her to please get down for fear of her falling and getting hurt. She insisted that she did this every day, and in that case Im going to forgo a return visit in favor of a coffeeshop that doesnt allow shoes and public fingers among the beverages being served.

1. Your marker is wrong on google maps, change it. 2. Tried coffee twice, months apart, burnt both times. Coated mouth with bitter oil. 3. If you want a coffee, you have to order off the menu, there is no "coffee" on the menu of this coffee shop. 3. Employees were nice but very unprofessional. There was a small child (of one of the employees) running around getting in the way of customers. 4. The owner seems like a really cool guy, I hope his place does well. Thats why Im giving a good review anyway! 5.I live nearby and would rather deal with hipsters than homeboys. 6. Never tried the food or the vinyl

If you are a hardcore espresso fan, this place will fit the bill nicely. Excellent shots, even better steamed milk and latte art in the cup. Proper, Pacific Northwest style coffee, expertly prepared. The atmosphere is artsy, hipsterish, but relaxed and friendly. Nice place to sit, sip, and chat. A very welcome addition to the Harrisburg food scene. By far the best coffee in town.

Great coffee, good tunes, nice atmosphere to relax or work. Im usually a "black coffee" sort of guy, but have tried their french press (excellent) and their "cold jars" (very good) and have been impressed. The "hipster" train left me behind years ago, but I always feel a bit cooler walking out of Little Amps. And I mean that in the best possible way.

Absolutely the best. Our number one choice to go get coffee on Saturdays. With their fresh roasted single source coffees theres nothing comparable in the area. The staff is always friendly and extremely helpful with all qurstions. Wed highly suggest a pour over or cold jar to anyone whose never been there before!

Fantastic coffee and service ! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants the best coffee in PA. The atmosphere in the store is very welcoming and makes me want to stay there all day drinking strong beautiful coffee. The coffee tastes almost exactly like the coffee in Sydney Australia !! Its amazing !

Best place for coffee and hangs in the Harrisburg area! Chill vibes, comfortable seating, friendly staff, and just enough drink options to please everyone. My go-to spot for both meeting up with friends and getting work done. On top of the great drinks, they also have a great record selection!

Great place to relax and have a good cup of coffee/espresso. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The shop has a vintage feel with unfinished wood floors and great selection of vintage records. You can buy beans there too, which they can grind for you if you prefer.

Had expected tastier local coffee flavor, it has disappointed me. Not much of variety of food available. I dont recommend this shop to taste local flavor as its not a substitute for large chain of coffee shops.

If youre smart youll get coffee here. If you dont get coffee here, youre probably stupid! Im gonna say this now, lil amps is the best in Harrisburg. If you disagree then thats your opinion, but youre wrong.

Jesse Mee

Great cafe space, great atmosphere with good music always playing. The coffee is good but the service was pretty slow despite the cafe not being terribly crowded and it being properly staffed.

Little Amps has some of the best coffee Ive tried, period. Ive been there a couple of times, and both times, the cappuccino has been outstanding. Nice folks, plenty of room to sit.

Robert Bonsall

This is what a coffee shop should be. Understated and refined with a laid back atmosphere. Great service and great coffee. My new place for a relaxed cup of coffee.

Amber Gordon

WOW! Starbucks should be ashamed to call themselves a coffee shop when places like this exist. THIS IS COFFEE! My Cortado was everything it should be and more!

Benjamin Mengle

Nice place to go have some "me" time and reflect on all the meanings of this crazy thing called life. Also, a cool spot to meet the swell people of Harrisburg.

Garrett Moore

Super friendly staff and welcoming environment. Unfortunately, the espresso (tried the cappuccino) has too little flavor. But still a great spot.

Chad Silva

Really tasty coffee in a beautiful setting; the inside is charming, outside has a beautiful view of the capitol, and is right near the river.

Adam Howard

Awesome first experience here. Friendly staff, cozy vibe, and the cold jars are just downright amazing! We will certainly be coming back!

Their lattes are perfect. Their employees are friendly. They have vinyl. They have live shows sometimes. Best coffee in Harrisburg.

My daughter and I went for the live music. It was a nice venue and they have a small, but quality vinyl selection at good prices.
