Dear Tracey and Paul,

Thank you both so much for allowing us to use your wonderful coffee house as a location for House Hunters!

Here are the photos I took for HGTV. Just go to the Langhorne Coffee set at my Flickr site and you can click on the photos to enlarge or print or share.

Also, thanks so much for sending me off with a handful of your delicious chocolate chip cookies! Not only did they save lives by keeping me alert for my drive back to Wilmington but they were scrumptious and made my car smell nice.

I'll be sure to stop in next time I'm in the area. Although I was working for HGTV that day, if ever I'm producing a project that calls for a coffee shop location that's brimming with charm, I'll be calling you first!

Best regards,

Karen Kuder

The following post, by Kayla on April 21st, 2010, the Student Senate President at Philadelphia Biblical University, written on her blog on PBU's website, discusses how she loves to frequent the coffee house and how the "LCH" has become a local place of gathering for students studying at PBU.

Dear Readers,

The time has come for me to shamelessly plug the most adorable coffee shop in Langhorne. I think it should be a rule that every small town, before it can be labeled 'quaint', must have a small, quirky, artistic coffee shop. If such a rule were in place, Langhorne (the town in which this fine educational institution is found) would be labeled quaint indeed.

The Langhorne Coffee House, to me, has become like a dear old friend. It is the place I go when I want to be alone. It is the place I run to ten minutes before class starts to grab a $1 coffee. When I need a deep conversation with a dear friend, we go to LCH. And when my boyfriend decides that we're skipping class for a date, it's there we go for coffee and grilled muffins. It's walls have heard the planning of numerous events, the whisper between friends, and the laughter of a rowdy group attempting to study. LCH sees me on good days, when I need a cup of joe before a big meeting; and on my worst days, when I come in sweats with tears in my eyes to talk to my best friend. And it is rare that I open the door, smell the distinct aroma, and DON'T see another PBU student there. It is "the spot".


Today, my visit to Langhorne Coffee House was for the aforementioned coffee date. It was a beautiful Spring morning; and so, we sat outside- watching the cars drive past and the clouds float breezily by above. With a cup of freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee and a grilled Banana Walnut muffin, we enjoyed a simply delightful hour.

Your faithful blogger and coffee connoisseur,
Kayla

This letter, written by Michael Arnold on December 29th, 2009, discusses how as an out-of-towner, he fell in love with the coffee house during his vacation.

To Tracey Dornisch-Cramer (owner) and the staff and management of the Langhorne Coffee House (which is always the prototype of what a locally-owned, non-franchise coffee house should be),

While on a holiday visit to spend time with family over Christmas in the quaint, charming borough of Langhorne, part of my daily routine (after exercise) has been a stop at your coffee house.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge some of the reasons your LCH is special and unique:

  • No Wi-fi addicted quasi-novelists tapping on laptops,
  • Warm and friendly atmosphere, (I can understand why some of your regulars walked through nearly two feet of snow to patronize your establishment during the recent blizzard.)
  • Kind and conscientious staff which offers great service of delicious breakfast and lunch fare- at reasonable prices,
  • Artsy, distinctive ambience with lots of natural light offering me a window on historical Langhorne hotel and other aspects of ?downtown” Langhorne,
  • A venerable, assertive locally-roasted coffee in Ellis Brothers,
  • and Sirius-XM satellite radio to help broaden my musical horizons.

To your baristas, regular customers, and everyone else I enjoyed meeting: Thank you for thriving as an anti-Starbucks. I’ll look forward to visiting next time in town.

Best wishes and Happy New Year,

Michael Arnold

"Langhorne's skydivingmayor swoops in for a perfect landing"


Left to Right: Mayor, Paul, and Tracey

The following article, written by Jeff Werner for the Bucks County Advance appeared in the Friday, May 7th newspaper. For the full article or to view the video of Tracey and Paul Cramer and the Mayor skydiving, please go to BucksLocalNews.com! Tracey and Paul, owners of the Langhorne Coffee House, having been married by the Mayor of Langhorne, Chris Blaydon, decided to celebrate their wedding anniversary with him by skydiving together.

Langhorne Borough Mayor Chris Blaydon spent his career at the controls of major commercial jet airliners. Jumping out was never an option.


?I always wanted to do this,” he said. ?I’ve been up in a sailplane, a glider and an ultra-light. I’ve sailed a boat to Bermuda and kayaked the Delaware. I ran for office. This was one more thing on my Bucket List that I had to do,” he said.

The opportunity presented itself during a conversation he was having with the owners of the Langhorne Coffee House, Tracey Dornisch-Cramer and Paul Cramer, whom he married two years ago at the Mayor’s Playground.

For their first anniversary, they had taken an airplane ride to Dorney Park in Allentown. The mayor piloted the plane. They had won the ride in a Rotary raffle.

?The mayor wanted to know what we were doing for our second anniversary and the mayor suggested skydiving,” said Tracey. The three soon had plans for a joint outing.

?I performed their wedding two years ago so we figured it would be great for the bride, groom and mayor to all go up to celebrate their anniversary,” said Blaydon. ?I also figured if George Bush Sr. can jump out of a plane at 75, I can do it at 76,” he said.

So on Friday the mayor took to the skies. This time, however, he would be coming back to earth via parachute after free falling thousands of feet through the air.


Moments later someone spotted a tiny dot in the crystal blue sky, about 15,000 feet up and about two and a half miles from the airport. For between six and seven minutes, the mayor hurtled to the earth below. Soon, a colorful array of parachutes began appearing in the sky.

?There he is,” yelled someone, as the mayor’s brightly colored chute came into view, gliding in for a perfect landing on a patch of grass at the end of the runway.

Blaydon described the experience. ?All the sudden you’re dropping. The wind is going by. You’re dropping, dropping, dropping. Then you’re in the chute,” he said. ?Great day for it. Wonderful view. You couldn’t have asked for a better day for this.

But Blaydon said, ?I think I’d rather fly airplanes. It was great. I enjoyed it. I had to do it. I did it. Now you guys are next,” he said pointing to Tracey and Paul.

About 20 minutes later, the coffee shop owners were back on the ground after their anniversary jump.

?As I got out of the plane I already had a thought for next year,” said Tracey. ?Hot air balloon ride,” she said.

?That’s good. That’s good,” said Blaydon.

?The four of us will go on a hot air balloon ride,” Tracey said to Mary Blaydon.

?We could keep this going,” she said. ?See, we already have next year planned.”





Glenn Pezzillo, a musical artist who has performed twice at our Artist on the Avenue event, wrote this email to our Musical Director, Marshall Brownstein, on June 6th, 2010 describing his experience at the event.

Hi Marshall,

Thanks for inviting the Cabin Jazz All-stars to play on Friday at the Coffee House. We had a great time as always and enjoyed the warm friendly welcome.

We'll play anytime you want us, just give me a call and a little bit of notice and we'll be there.

If you know of any events in the area where you think we would fit in well, please give us a mention.

Thanks again.

-Glenn
