Blade & Spade Coffee Apothecary

Here’s a lovely cafe full of whimsical touches. Ambiance is Stevie Nicks’s apartment meets a Wiccan’s dinner party.

The food is locally sourced and delicious!They have incredible herbal lattes, vegan and omnivorous food. I love the roasted root bowl. Every latte I have tried has been 10/10. And they have medicinal properties in most of their lattes. 🖤 So I’m drinking delicious healing drinks and enjoying witchy vibes.

Come here to escape the boring.

The atmosphere and energy was amazing. The nettle cake was delicious and the latte I had was was bomb. Not what I expected but exactly what I needed. Would return. It smells so good in there!!

Stopped into Blade and Spade before jumping on the train. The Dankaster really hit the spot! Wonderful staff and beautiful atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time I’m back in town.

Cannot say enough good things about this place!!! Their connection to and appreciation for the earth is tangible. Their drinks are rich and the food is indulgent AND healthy. Not to mention everything is locally sourced. There is also a little shop for many herbal tonic & naturalistic health/wellness needs. I love coming here to study or just relax. The ambiance is always vibrant and positive. The presentation and style of the place is amazing too. Go to Blade & Spade, you won’t regret it!! You will only be blown away by the kind & knowledgable staff, the incredible & humble owner Alyssa, and the overall wonder of experiencing the unique place that Blade & Spade is.

A beautiful cafe with beautiful food. Alyssa is a wonderful owner and creatress! all of the food on the menu is locally sourced and organic, you know exactly where everything came from! all of the drinks have very nourishing qualities, from different herbs to different mushrooms, you will feel healed after visiting this cafe for sure! The stuff is so friendly and Alyssa treats them great! supporting this local business helps to support a lot of other local businesses as well. 100% would recommend!

I absolutely loved their vibe!! I’m not sure if she was the owner or just someone working within the cafe, but the woman who introduced us to the menu and helped us with our choices was so great! She was very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. I got the drink special which was described as a cocoa/earthy type of non-caffeinated drink with their hemp milk and my boyfriend got their well-adapted drink. We loved them! Their hemp milk definitely gives a more earthy taste, but for more traditionally flavored drinks they have other options. This was our first visit and there will definitely be more!

Love the vibe. Food and coffee were fantastic. Service was lovely.

Loved all the vegan options. Fungi flatbread was everything. Hemp pretzels with vegan cheese and dandelion pesto was amazing. Such a cute inviting space. The only thing I will say is that it's kinda loud when there's lots of people talking loudly. Maybe it's the high ceilings or vibrations coming off the windows. But otherwise it's a peaceful place to relax, read or do some work.

What a fantastic space!! Ambiance warm and inviting, service cheery and kind, food absolutely amazing...carefully sourced, local ingredients, including wild mushrooms. Handmade seasoning mixes, a great selection of books, and unique events hosted. This is my new favorite spot!

Such a magical, enchanting place! Not only is the space well decorated and inviting but the food is also amazing. I love that the focus is on supporting local farms and vendors. The drinks are divine and the food is always fresh, innovative & tasty. Highly reccomend checking out this cafe!

Love this place. Very unique and eclectic. The drinks and food are really good. Glad there are gluten free options. Have had the sausage & cheddar frittata and GF brownie. For drinks I have had Moon Womb and Witches Brew...both really good. Will need to go back to try more options!

In the words of my daughter “This is the only place I want to go.” Truly, this is a magical space with food, drinks, and provisions where the evidence of this being a passion project is so clearly felt and tasted! We absolutely adored everything we had on our recent visit. Everything was notable and not to be missed so it is hard to list all of the highlights. We left with a few provisions to play around with at home and can’t wait to come back for more.

It is rare that we visit a restaurant or café anymore where we have loved EVERYTHING that we ordered. We always do at this spot and they are super attentive to our questions about our daughters allergies. Go visit and support local business!

There are so many beautiful words to describe the experience of blade and spade. Healing, health, community, women-centric, comforting and so much more. The environment is welcoming and as soon as you walk in, you can lay down your worries and relax with drinks and food you can feel good about consuming. Fresh, local, small, farm to table ingredients mean you won’t feel like crud as you go about the rest of your day. And Alyssa makes some magic with her Sentient Sisterhood line of herbal medicines- so be sure to check those out and if you can, talk with her about what might support your personal health and healing. Her mugwort is part of my routine now and is so delicious! Truly a dream place and I can’t wait to get in there again ASAP!

The atmosphere is amazing! It’s such a cozy spot to meet with others or enjoy some time to yourself. I ordered the “Into the Mystic” (The drink names alone make you want to try them all) and it was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and try something from their locally sourced rotating menu 💛

This is what I had hoped it would be, great atmosphere, friendly people, delicious food (vegan, gf, keto, and meat for the meat eaters), the vegan chowder and fungus flatbread made me happy. The witches brew tea was a delicious combination. On top of that the cafe was cute and cozy and had local products for sale, a cute alter of to the side and just good vibes all around. The food menu rotates every month so I'm excited to see what comes next week.

Blade & Spade offers an environment that is welcoming, cozy, and full of incredible offerings that change daily. The food is absolutely delicious and created from fresh and local products. The coffee is just.... wow. Who wouldn't want to taste the herbal healing as they sip their caffeinated delight? Cannot wait to visit Blade & Spade again! Thank you

Everything about this place is absolute perfection. Delicious food, wonderful coffees and teas, absolutely astounding staff, and the space itself is warm and inviting every time. Blade and Spade is without a doubt my favorite place to be in downtown Lancaster.

I've had a number of different elixirs and food as well and everything has been so delicious! The Dandy is rich and sumptuous, and you can tell that everything is made with care and attention. The space itself is nothing short of magical, and there are lots of super comfortable different nooks where you can get cozy and stay for awhile!

Good coffee, tasty treats, and antique furniture, what more could you want? Blade & Spade has a whimsical forest atmosphere that makes you want to drop everything and find a vacant woodland dwelling to occupy. As I wandered around I fell in love with every little detail. Perhaps it was the ceramic mushroom set, the velvet furniture, or the relaxing Celtic music, but I wanted to stay all day.

The sounds and smells escaping from this artfully decorated cove of relaxation, entice the passersby to stop and be one with the moment. Thank you for enriching the city of Lancaster.
