What’s New in Dining?

With much anticipation and enthusiasm for the grand opening, Mack’s Coffee and Cream shop began serving Residents at Homestead Village on March 18, 2025! From delicious specialty coffees, to gelato, to sandwiches and avocado toast, the menu selection has been very well received by residents, guests, and even HV staff! In fact, the coffee being served was chosen by popular vote of our residents during a special tasting event prior to Mack’s opening.

The inspiration for the Mack’s name comes from Lancaster’s rich coffee history. Beginning in 1895, Horace Mack and his son J. Edward Mack started a coffee business here in Lancaster. Known as “Mack the Coffee Man,” their coffee businesses grew to sell over one million pounds of coffee per year up and down the east coast, according an LNP historian. The business was sold in 1967, and their former building was donated to the Fulton Theatre.

The coffee shop is located just inside the Homestead Village Apartments Building main entrance at 1800 Village Circle, and welcomes guests with delicious aromas of fresh coffee as they enter the lobby.

The Stauffer Spring House – A Destination Dining Venue
