Wow, this place is beautiful inside. Don't be discouraged by the small parking lot. The employees are super nice, attentive and informative about new items, specials, and modifying your order to make it just how you like it. We enjoyed the fruit tart, cardamom elephant ear pastry, fresh lemonade and an iced coffee. The English decor is a fun addition to Shippensburg.
Overview
Discover King And Saint Cafe, a European-inspired bakery and specialty coffee shop at 512 W King St, Shippensburg, PA 17257, United States, where handcrafted pastries, organic ingredients, espresso drinks, and light breakfast and lunch fare come together in an unusually elegant small-town setting. From a food blogger’s perspective, King And Saint Cafe feels designed for lingering rather than rushing out the door. Opened in March 2025, the café was created as a community gathering place with Parisian influences, comfortable work areas, and quiet corners for conversation.
The menu focuses on coffeehouse favorites prepared with a more artisanal approach. Expect breakfast sandwiches, quiche, pastries, sandwiches, salads, lattes, espresso-based drinks, seasonal beverages, and desserts. Delivery listings currently place a breakfast sandwich around $13–$14, quiche at about $10–$13, café lattes near $7, and cream puffs around $6, although third-party delivery prices can be higher than in-store pricing. The café emphasizes organic, non-GMO ingredients, while pastries are baked fresh each morning.
A particularly appealing first order at King And Saint Cafe in Shippensburg is the Breakfast Sandwich on a House-Made Milk Roll. One recent customer paired it with seasonal sausage and an iced peppermint mocha, praising everything for being freshly prepared. The soft, slightly enriched milk roll gives the sandwich a tender texture, while egg, meat, and cheese provide the savory richness expected from a satisfying breakfast.
The Quiche is another strong choice, especially for a lighter breakfast or lunch. Current customer summaries regularly identify the veggie quiche as a favorite, and the flaky pastry shell with its creamy egg filling fits naturally with the café’s European bakery identity. At roughly $10–$13 depending on ordering platform, it is pricier than a basic diner breakfast but better suited to diners who value freshly made ingredients and atmosphere.
For something sweet, try a Fruit Tart or Cardamom Elephant Ear Pastry. A February 2026 visitor praised both, along with fresh lemonade and iced coffee, while another customer specifically enjoyed an almond tart topped with fresh blueberries. French-inspired pastries are made in-house each morning using organic flour, butter, and sugar, giving desserts an important role rather than treating them as an afterthought.
The atmosphere is one of King And Saint Cafe’s strongest assets. Parisian and European-style décor, a cozy fireplace, internet bar, free Wi-Fi, charging areas, library-style seating, and even a Kawai player piano make the space equally comfortable for solo coffee drinkers, students, remote workers, and small gatherings. Dine-in, takeaway, curbside pickup, card and mobile payments, free parking, highchairs, and outdoor dog-friendly seating are also listed.
The main limitation is price: several customers consider it slightly expensive for a quick breakfast, although they also note that ingredient quality and ambiance help justify the premium. For anyone exploring the best restaurants in Shippensburg for relaxed local dining experiences, King And Saint Cafe deserves attention for its handmade pastries, breakfast sandwiches, specialty coffee, organic ingredients, and distinctive European atmosphere. Call +1 434-466-0844 and visit when you want breakfast or coffee with a little more character than the average café.

I had the iced chai, and it was some of the smoothest chai I have had. Also had the almond tart. The blueberries on top were fresh and very tasty. I would say it is a little pricier for those who are going for a quick breakfast. I paid $13 and some change for two items. But the cost is worth what you get, and the ambiance adds to the price. Will definitely try again.
Visited the new King & Saint Cafe today in Shippensburg. Definitely my new favorite coffee spot! Love the European inspired vibe! Very generous staff with amazing coffee/food, which is organic/non gmo. If you haven’t tried them yet I highly recommend!
My son wanted coffee for his 12th birthday and we are new in the area, so found this quaint cafe online. Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Spreading the gospel of Jesus through hospitality and great food/drink. My son loved his sandwich and coffee as well as myself. We ate in the library! Must come here for a visit, you won’t be disappointed! We will return and bring others!
I honestly have so many good words for this adorable cafe! It was my first time here and I was extremely impressed. The staff were so polite and kind and easy to talk to. Thanks, Bryanna, you were a great waitress! And the vanilla cream puff. Fresh made today and absolutely amazing! I definitely want to come back to try more kinds. The bacon broccoli cheddar quiche was also great. The cafe latte was good but a little more bitter than I normally like. I’m so happy to have this place in town and I’m excited to come back! Keep up the good work!
I went here for the first time after getting out of work at 2:00pm near their closing time on a Saturday with my significant other. Upon entering the atmosphere was peaceful. There were only two other customers. Service (Andrew York I believe) helped explain the options of what was left that they baked this morning right away and was extremely friendly. A very welcoming vibe. I ordered a large latte and a croissant and my significant other ordered Cappuccino with a ham and cheese croissant. We found our seat; everything was clean. The flowers are a very nice touch. Our drinks arrived with little to no wait time. The server explained we could also have sweeteners as a up charge but today they would let us try it on the house, extremely kind of them. I choose the vanilla rose and my significant other choose vanilla. We tried the drinks before the sweetener and after it was amazing both ways. We also tried each others. Our coffees were hot and I typically don't like hot coffee but found it delicious. The food was served by their waiter Vlad who was kind and very friendly not long after the drinks arrived. The food was scrumptious and paired very nice with the coffee. Will definitely come again, hoping to try the quiche and cream puff next! Great place for a mini date!!
WOW- legitimately the BEST coffee shop I have EVER experienced!!!!! I could ramble on and on, but I'll try to keep my review summarized. My best friend and I stopped here Saturday after going for a hike at Caledonia state park. From the moment we arrived, we were extremely impressed- first, by the swanky decor and interior, then by the delicious looking pastry & baked selections in the case at the counter, and finally by the richly curated food and drink menu put together. Not to mention... THE FOOD! THE COFFEE! It was all delicious. Y'all.. I have NEVER been to a coffee shop where I went back up to the counter to order another drink/food item to try something else out, but I felt like I could have happily ordered everything off the menu board. My friend had gotten a piece of the fresh baked, warm sourdough bread with honey butter, and she let me try a bite.... Oh my god. I swear, it was one of the best things I'd ever eaten. (Also, another note- this place was MORE than accommodating with my friend's food allergies- they went above and beyond to ensure that she didn't have the strawberry jam, which she's severely allergic to). I hope this place stays in business a very, very long time, because they're worth the stop if you're in the area!
I was so excited to try this European-themed cafe and it did not disappoint! The coffee and food were 10/10 and the waiters were respectful and friendly. The lot behind the cafe has lots of parking which is always a win! I will be back :)
