Northern Light Espresso Bar & CafeAugust 25, 2015Welcome! We know how excited you are to be here! To help make your transition a little smoother, stop in for a 1/2 price Vanilla Chai. It's a favorite around here, and we think you'll love it too!- Jess NaldoJuly 10, 2015Green tea "Ice Rage" was pleasantly refreshing on a balmy summer day. Fast wifi, lots of outlets, and comfy couches in the back! Staff is super friendly and answers all your loser questions ;)
KassAugust 18, 2014the best vanilla chai period. dependable wifi, comfortable seating, really great baristas, and surprisingly unpretentious vibe. oh, make sure to check out the books and board games!
John ValerioJune 17, 2012Great place. Great coffee. Love it. But if you drive there, watch those parking meters! Scranton must have two meter nazis per block. Put those quarters in and watch your time! Tickets are expensive!- The University of ScrantonMarch 26, 2012Sit upstairs and watch the happenings in this favorite downtown hangout - voted best Scranton coffeehouse since 2004.

The University of Scranton ManagerAugust 29, 2014Downtown Scavenger Hunt Tip: Iggy's go-to hangout spot usually involves cups of coffee and tea! You'll find him on the second level with his laptop and warm drink!
Fantastic food, drinks, atmosphere and staff. They have a great selection of different coffees from all over too. 🍩☕️
Sarah SusannaSeptember 20, 2016Chocolate chai is delicious in cold weather. Peach, pear, apricot smoothie is wonderful to help cool off on a hot day.- The University of ScrantonAugust 30, 2013Downtown Scavenger Hunt Tip: The day isn't complete for Iggy unless he stops by this university-favorite café for one of their great iced coffees.
- Sarah SusannaJuly 5, 2015Peach, mango, apricot smoothie is perfect in the warm weather. Chocolate chai is my favorite cold weather drink.
Andrew CJune 26, 2014Hands down Scranton's finest, friendliest coffee spot! Grab a delicious latte and stay a while!
My faves are the pixie mate (especially iced) and hot chocolate mmm. I know there are more good drinks but i can't explore because i keep getting my faves every time i go there!- Devon MarkarianOctober 22, 2015Citrus green tea is delicious. Service is amazing. Nice atmosphere. Wall art changes monthly.
- The University of ScrantonFebruary 14, 2012Voted Best Coffeehouse in Scranton since 2004, Northern Light is famous for their wide selection of coffee and tea.
Best coffee bar in Scranton. Great location in the heart of downtown. I recommend their chai.- The University of ScrantonAugust 31, 2012Iggy’s obsession with coffee has grown! You’ll find him browsing all the different flavors in this downtown hangout café.
IrinaJanuary 20, 2013Chill place to camp out with your laptop. The food options although few are good, think wraps and biscotti. Lattes are mediocre. Soy milk available.
You save money and help the environment by ordering your drink in a mug. Coconut mocha is delicious. :-)
- Try a Coconut Mocha! So yummy and in a mug it's beautiful.
- Be cautious with the coffee cups to-go: the caps tend to leak.

"Awesome coffee, delicious soup. sandwiches looked good too. Cool space & atmosphere (though music needs an update; tired 70's - 90 's rock station, really?). Great find while traveling, will return."
