Greencastle Coffee Roasters

Great selection of coffee — lots of choices. Shop smells wonderful. Staff is borderline polite. Biggest complaint — it’s 2016 and yet they require a printed hard copy of their coupon. There is no barcode on the coupon and therefore, no need for a printed copy. Would be nice to see them being a little more environmentally friendly and actually take advantage of technology.

Great, amazing selection of whole bean (reg and decaf), single-​cup ready, teas and Asian foods! Wow — I hadn’t bought from here in so long but my husband is from Greencastle so since we were in the area I had to stop by! I bought Maui, Jamaican Crazy and Coconut. I have only tried the Jamaican so far but it’s super flavorful and delish!

A mecca for coffee lovers. They source and roast their own coffee, and have at least 50 flavored coffees in whole bean and at least 25 exotic coffees from all around the world. I can’t believe a place this can exist in sleepy little Greencastle, but I’m grateful that it does.

The title is misleading in a sense that the average person thinks it is strictly a coffee shop. As I am new to town I thought I would stop by for coffee at 7am… they don’t open until 9am!!! WTH? Most coffee shops get the most traffic between 6−10am, so they are really losing alot of business!
It is great that they offer so many different types of coffee to take home. I just LOVE the smell of the shop.

What a great little place. The aroma of all the coffee and freshly roasted peanuts are wonderful. The owners and staff are very helpful and friendly. I enjoy the shopping experience and will continue to give them my business

I used to make the drive to Greencastle when I went to college at Shippensburg. The coffee tastes great-​with quirky names like «Helter Skelter», etc. But the service is terrible! I saw another reviewer say the employees were «indifferent” – true – but I might go further to say they are downright annoyed by customers. They make you feel as if you’ve done something wrong by walking in the door. It makes the entire experience painful – as they’re always watching you like you’re going to shove a pound of coffee down your pants – and are visibly troubled and rude when they have to grind coffee. If you don’t have a problem paying the $ 10 + shipping to order their coffee online – do it. Otherwise, I hope you have a thicker skin than I do.

Mediocre coffee and indifferent service. Visited while driving along the interstate looking to buy some well-​roasted high quality coffee. I should have left when I walked in and saw the front and center focus on flavored coffee. This reveals both the owners lack of coffee sophistication and the undiscerning nature of their customers. I found the owners distinctly unhelpful even after multiple attempts of engaging them in a discussion about their sourcing, roasting approach, and freshness. I purchased three different varieties along a supposed gradient of medium to dark. They all tasted the same– one note– burned. The owners seem to take pride in using Victorian era roasters, but honestly modern roasting techniques are very precise and have advanced over the last 100+ years. Truly high quality coffee roasters like Gimme! Coffee constantly tweak and optimize their roasting profiles to produce complex high quality coffee. These folks clearly high throughput small batches using the same roasting parameters. So, if you know and like good coffee, don’t bother. If however, you consider yourself a ‘connoisseur’ but like flavored coffee or drinks like caramel lattes, then this place might be for you.

This is an awesome little place that you would probably miss if you weren’t looking for it (and possibly still miss it even if you were). They have dozens and dozens of different kinds of blends and flavors of coffees, it’s almost a little overwhelming. You can get coffee by the pound, but they also have small sample packets which are awesome if you want to try a bunch of different kinds. They brew coffee that you can purchase a cup at a very reasonable price. When I went in they only had one type made which I wasn’t incredibly interested in, but the lady working there offered to make any of their other kinds of coffee for me, which is simply amazing and incredible customer service. They also roast their own peanuts, which are quite tasty. I’ll definitely be back here.

I am a «coffee connoisseur» of sorts. I have sampled coffee in various countries, and numerous local coffee shops in the United States. First of all, I am in shock that this place has a «1 star» review. Not sure how that is even possible. This magical place in the middle of nowhere can definitely hold its own as far as coffee is concerned. When I first received my travel assignment for work in Greencastle and saw that Greencastle had a booming population of nearly 5,000, I almost suffered from a heart attack. I am city girl through and through. Tiny towns suffocate me. Greencastle Coffee Roasters is a gem! Their coffee is delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful: the lady brewed a fresh pot of coffee just for me, and she helped me pick out what coffees would best suit my taste. I may not come back to Greencastle ever again, but I will definitely be ordering from the Coffee Roasters quite frequently. :)

Great spot to find a wide variety of original & decaf coffee & tea. Kenyan, Rwandan, Sumatran, Honduran, Guatamalan, European, Javanese, you name it, they probably have it. The cool think is that they have sample packets (maybe 3oz?) for 1.25 each, or 10 for 10. We have been there on a few occasions, Im surprised that I didnt hear of this place sooner, what with all the amazing Unilocal reviews. Dont forget their roasted peanuts, which are worth a bag of.
It also has a basic, humble selection of asian groceries. Rice, kimchi, soy sauce, frozen rice paper wrappers, spices, etc. All pretty much the generic sort, it is labelled «South East Asian Grocer» in the front window. Worth a stop.

Greencastle coffee roasters could possibly be the worst coffee I have ever tasted, I’m almost certain that every roast is roasted to the same degree and is on the border line of being burnt… And I’m not talking good burnt like a french roast, I’m talking popcorn flavor. I would imagine that anyone who Is not familiar with coffee could find this stuff good, But sadly everyone I know who orders coffee from the orient is amazed at how horrible this stuff is, Sadly I had high expectations for this place and after reading reviews am shocked at the amount of people who enjoy it… To each his own I suppose.

Best. Coffee. Ever.
Huge, almost bewildering, selection of coffees from around the world. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. After drinking their coffee, I rarely buy my coffee from anywhere else.
I love trying out many of the rare, and hard-​to-​find coffees, but I have many favorites that I order regularly such as Sumatra Mehndahling, Columbia Suprema, Bali Kintamous Highlands and several of the blended coffees — such as Breakfast Blend, Cup of Joe, and the House Blend.
Since I’m almost never in Greencastle, I usually order my coffee online. Although their webpage doesn’t instill confidence, the coffee arrives at my house super-​quick.

Hands down, the best tea shop I’ve ever seen. Oh, and they have coffee.
When I graduated from Wilson, my mom actually cried because it meant no more Greencastle coffee for her at holidays and «just because» in the mail. (Yes, you can order online. But there is something special about bringing home coffee at Christmas!)

I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this place. It’s a rare find.
They recently moved down the street about a block. If you’ve driven by and seen it before, keep in mind the new address is closer to the post office.
Not only do they have a huge selection of coffee and tea, but there’s an Asian grocery section in the back. I’ve found a few items that I’ve never seen anywhere else there.
I do wish they actually served coffee at the store. I believe there’s an issue with licensing or something that prevents this from happening. Small towns can be harder to do business with than big cities sometimes.
If you ever find yourself anywhere near Greencastle and you want some good coffee to take home, this is worth the trip. Oh, and they also have fresh roasted peanuts… and they’re HUGE!

OK this one is tough and will require a follow up. I loved Rake’s when it was in its original location. It was an amazing intriguing place for the tea and coffee drinkers of the world with an excellent Nonstandard Coffee Shop feel.
It has been sold and relocated down the street. I popped in to see how it was doing. I think they were still setting up, it doesn’t have that unique personalized touch «yet» but I do feel it will eventually. Also, not very friendly but maybe they were busy. I’ll try again soon but please hurry, I would hate to see the clientele to keep it open just walk out the door.

About a month ago Greencastle Coffee moved to:
42 East Baltimore Street
Greencastle PA 17 225
I stumbled upon Greencastle Coffee in the summer about a year ago while I was driving up 81, and it was so miserably hot I needed to take a break… lo and behold, in front of me was a billboard for Greencastle advertising that they had 250 different varieties of coffee. Clearly I needed to stop and see this place — I’m very happy I did!
Since that trip to Greencastle, they’ve become my favorite place to get coffee from, hands down. Nothing I can buy on the shelves at the supermarket comes close to the flavors in their coffee, and in case the coffee itself wasn’t wonderful, the people working at Greencastle are also always fabulous.
My favorite flavors of their coffee are graham cracker and mocha java. I also highly recommend their sample packets because it’s an easy way to try lots of different coffee.
Even if you can’t stop by their store, Greencastle takes orders over the internet and by phone. I’ve made several phone orders when I wasn’t able to make it there myself, and no matter where I go I know exactly where I’ll be getting my coffee from.

Talk about a great place for Coffee and Tea lovers. I love how the whole store is split, off to the right is everything you need for your coffee fix, and off to the left is all teas. They try very hard to keep a running total of what they have in stock with dry erase boards mounted high on the walls, the only downside is there are so many to choose from, their writing is very tiny you have to have great eyesight to be able to read it all. It is really cool that you don’t have to buy an entire bag of coffee that you may not like and each one of their flavors they can put into little sample packs designed to brew 1 – 4 cups. This goes the same for tea. Everything you see in the jars, you can find in little gold or silver bags. I make a trek here at least once a year to pickup my favorite loose leaf tea (High Dragon) and a bunch of flavored coffee. Snickerdoodle, White chocolate raspberry, Wintertime, Double Chocolate, it’s an amazing variety they have here.
Along the walls besides having the trial bags of each coffee and tea you are interested in they also have coffee pots, coffee presses, tea bags, cups, balls, strainers, pretty much anything you need to create the perfect cup of coffee/​tea.
Back in the corner of the shop there is a small Asian shop that has a few things you can pickup, but it’s not really the center piece of this establishment. I think its just something they needed to do.
Every employee I have come into contact with has been more than willing to give you their insight and be as helpful as possible. One girl spent the entire 2 hours I was there pretty much catering to what I wanted to know and what I needed and at no time did I get the vibe off her that basically said «hurry up» So either she is really good at hiding it, or their employees generally like what they do.
As a side note they are constantly roasting peanuts you can pickup for fairly cheap if you are into that type of thing. They roast light, medium, or dark, and have sizes from little handbags all the way up to a 5 lb sack. They take credit cards which is a good thing because you can easily drop 30 – 40 bucks if you get carried away. If you are a lover of hot beverages, or have someone in your family who is, definitely set aside a few hours to spend in this quaint little shop.

Need to give a gift to that normal someone in your family that will make them feel like they have a legitimate chance of becoming special? This is the place.
They have a marvelous Galapagos San Cristobal coffee for sale by the pound via their website. Ship away!

Man, I can’t believe that no one has written up Greencastle Coffee Roasters yet.
This place is one of the coolest shops I have been to. They specialize in roasting coffees and peanuts. The best part is that you do not have to buy coffee by pound increments. They have small one pot sample bags of all the flavors they roast (well over 100). My husband’s favorites were the apple pie and blueberry flavors. To their credit they also have a small asian grocery in the store where many products that are uneasy to find (especially in south central PA) can be purchased.
