Idea Coffee

Friendly staff, cozy space, + delicious drinks and baked goods! This is a small business that makes you feel comfortable and connected with the community.

It's a nice little coffee shop. Decoration looks lovely and staff was friendly. Lots of options for beverage. Muffin and coffee tastes great.

Best coffee in Mechanicsburg! The West Shore has limited options for local coffeeshops. Idea Coffee is my favorite. It's perfect to stop in for a quick snack and drink, meet a friend to catch up, or sit for a couple hours and study. There are usually seats available to sit indoors and outdoors.

They have a variety of espresso and drip coffee options available from local roaster Lonely Monk Coffee. They are consistent and very tasty every time. My go to is an iced vanilla latte, and they always nail it!

It's conveniently located inside Walden, so you can go for a walk to explore, or get lunch next door at Sophia's. HomeSlice is on the next block for pizza and cheesesteak too!

This coffee shop is so good.. I love the atmosphere and the staff is so friendly. I love this place. I got a caramel macchiato and a maple cold cream coldbrew must have.

Idea is stellar all around - great drinks, relaxing vibes, etc. What has stood out lately as review-worthy, though, is the exceptional customer service on my last few visits. Liam went out of his way today to make sure I got the best possible cup of coffee by brewing a new pot/pouring me a new cup, after he noticed (without me saying anything) that the cup he poured at first wasn’t super hot/fresh. Thanks Liam and Idea for being the best!

Went on a quiet Saturday afternoon..coffee was good and the barristia was very friendly

Awesome experience. Located in a quiet and thriving village. Service was excellent and so was my Mocha Latte. First time in this area. Definitely a great find.

Great atmosphere and fantastic coffee. Will definitely be back.

Awesome coffee shop!! Super friendly staff!!! The atmosphere is outstanding and perfect to grab a cup and relax!! Super excited for the summer and the patio!!!

This small coffee shop, located in the Walden neighborhood, deserves much more appreciation that it has got. This hidden gem has beautiful big windows to enjoy the outside from the inside, very comfortable seating as well. Nick was an amazing barista, very sweet, friendly, and helpful. Clean and organized right next to a dog grooming place, restaurant, pizzeria and Pilates studio. Great experience, definitely going back! Highly recommend the Mexican Mocha that Nick recommend, a little spicy so be careful but very delicious!!

Nice spot in Walden. Coffee always fresh and usually interesting. Muffins are made at Sophia's so you know they're awesome as well. Not a ton of room to sit inside, but the atmosphere is nice and there are tables outside.

This place is great! My latte was good and the atmosphere and location is outstanding, thanks!!

Almost got chain coffee, but this quick detour was well worth it. Coffee was good, muffins tasted like grandma made them, and got some amazing cookies to go. Wi-Fi, indoor/outdoor seating, friendly service - they even offer to make specialty drinks half sweet. Highly recommend.

This coffee shop is a bit out of the way for me but I am willing to go off the beaten path to return. Service is always friendly, the coffee is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. I'd take Idea Coffee over a big chain coffee any day.

Much needed addition to Walden! Cozy, coffee shop setting that complements the village concept of the neighborhood.

Beautifuly designed coffee house. Delicious pastries and lattes. Barista "Maggie" is wonderful!

Hidden inside a new residential community. I had the cafe Americano and it was bold, flavorful and aromatic. If you don't mind the drive for good coffee, this could be the coffee shop of Mechanicsburg, PA.

Employees are incredibly nice and the drinks are always amazing!

Here for the 1st time today. I always drive by and see but never had the opportunity to go in, until today and I was very impressed. Amazing atmosphere, very welcoming, and personable. I had a caramel frappe that was absolutely delicious. I’ll bet sure to return when I’m in the area.

Great coffee shop! Delicious coffees, variety, monthly new coffee options, great staff!
Everytime I go there I'm delighted.
