J & L Coffeehouse

I gave the food 2 stars because it has the potential to be great. I used to look forward to getting the time to stop here for breakfast but unfortunately, I do not anymore. The last three times I came here my bagel was so burnt on my breakfast sandwich that I have to throw it away because it’s not edible. It is very disappointing because they should know better than to put out burnt food, but they keep sending it out that way. If you order a bagel from there, I recommend asking for it to be lightly toasted or it’ll be like a rock and you won’t even be able to bite into it. It’s too bad that one bad cook has ruined what was my favorite little coffee house but it’s just not worth throwing the $20 away.

I am absolutely in love with their coffees! They have the best seasonal flavors. My go to is the shaken espresso-it’s delicious and so smooth. Also, their drive thru is ultra convenient. My favorite in the valley!

Let me start by saying, perhaps we visited on an off day. The positives here were that the staff was incredibly kind and friendly. And the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We stopped briefly on a road trip for coffee and a quick breakfast. A wrap, bagel sandwich and two drinks came out to about $35. I'm fine paying that at a small business. The problem was that everything was subpar. The Americano had a sour taste. The latte barely had a coffee flavor and mostly was flavored milk. The bagel sandwich was dry (although the bagel itself was high quality). And the wrap was very under seasoned. I will say, it was a very busy day and it took quite awhile. Maybe they were overwhelmed. It just left me disappointed, but not enough to completely write this place off.

Kate & Jayna were so sweet and kind + this place has the best bagels and specialty coffee selection in Luzerne County hands down.

Good food, service, and ambiance. Whoever furnished and decorated did a great job--I was comfortable during my 2 hours working on my laptop. The coffee was delicious and bold, and the breakfast sandwich I ordered was decent. It's a little out of the way, but if I ever have cause to be in that part of NEPA again I'll definitely go again.
