CoffeeHouses - the perfect compliment to a run. Lancaster and the surrounding area has a moatload of
coffeehouses. Many make their own coffee and some make their own pastries.
Even if you don't drink caffeine, they provide a good place to duck in for a
snack, lunch or to while away an afternoon after your run. Some are
quasi-chic places to go and be seen, some are pretty bare bone places and all seem to
have those annoying tip jars. They ever see Reservoir Dogs?
