The best coffee shop in town, and probably the best coffee shop in the state. The aesthetic of this place is great with a lovely raw brick wall, its rather industrial but in a comforting and inviting way. Plenty of seating available, love the natural shaped wooden tables, the bar area at the counter has a lovely countertop as well.The coffee itself is AMAZING. I'm a serious coffee enthusiast, and have not found a better roaster in the state of Pennsylvania. Their signature blend, Sabra, is phenomenal, although I don't typically buy blends. I heavily prefer coffees from Africa, I find their flavor notes to be unique and the texture generally lighter for an enjoyable morning cup. I've had multiple Ethiopian coffees and Alabasters beats all of them. They also have a Rwanda roast which is more expensive (as Rwanda coffee typically is), but worth it, as the flavor notes are unique and delicious, the best African coffee ive ever had, bar none. I'm not huge on espresso drinks so I can't comment too much on their espresso, but I have many friends I've brought here who exclaim how good their espresso is (compared to their usual Starbucks drink, to be fair).They have a wide selection of pastries that they change pretty much daily. I usually try and get a different pastry each time I come here to try them all and they're all amazing. Glazed donuts are a good baseline to determine how a shop handles pastries, and they have an amazing glazed donut so it's safe to assume the rest of their pastries are delicious, which has been my experience.Baristas are friendly and good at what they do. Provide excellent service with a smile even if a customer is being difficult or rude. I can't name any one specifically, they all do such a great job.The only downside for me is their hours. I leave town weekdays before 7 and usually won't be back into town until 430, sometimes 5. Saturday they're only open 7 hours and Sunday closed entirely. Even for a coffee shop these hours are a bit scarce, but this place is so great that I can forgive the shorter hours (plus that's not always something they can be in control of)TLDRLong rant aside, this is the best coffee place you will find anywhere near here. The quality, atmosphere and service are all exceptional and I'm thankful to have Alabaster in our Williamsport.
Alabaster is an absolutely lovely coffee shop located in a great area of Williamsport! Their Sabra coffee beans are the best for making espresso/latte's at home...I mean the best!! Also they make amazing fresh coffee drinks and a great place to hang out and visit. Love Alabaster and I highly recommend them for all your coffee needs in Williamsport area!
Awesome, hip new coffee roaster and cafe with delicious coffee and lattes. Small section of tasty looking pastries, fresh roasted beans, merch. Cool industrial style cafe.
We stopped here while traveling through to Rochester. Coffee is absolutely amazing.Highly recommend. Was disappointed with display of bakery items and how quiet this place was. It needs to be busy, needs a breakfast menu Introduced and bakery items displayed on main counter under cloches and a bit more light, we thought the place was shut! This place could him, the building is absolutely amazing!!! Worth the visit! But make the business go girls!
This place was very comforting and a perfect atmosphere for getting work done. The service was slow but the employees were welcoming and kind. The coffee was full bodied and flavored, and I also got an iced honey lavender latte which was a bit too sweet for my taste but delicious none the less. Although I wouldn't come in if I was in a rush. I will definitely be coming back when I'm ever back in the area.
Title says it all. By far the best coffee I had during my trip to Williamsport! I camped out for a few hours and was able to get a lot of work done.
Excellent service and delicious coffee - Karl and his staff went over and above to ensure we had plenty of fresh, hot coffee for an event my business sponsored. We were happily caffeinated for the day.
Highly recommend checking this place. The atmosphere is cool. Their coffee is very tasty and fresh especially that they roast the coffee beans themselves.
Coffee was good, gave me the wrong size paid for a large and got a small and said they'd bring it to the table but they didn't.Cozy and relaxing shop.Glad to see it in Williamsport though.
Always love it here. ❤️ Best place in town to get your coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
