Cafe Arabella is a great little cafe in Lititz, Pennsylvania. They offer a wide variety of drinks, as well as delicious breakfast and lunch items. They offer healthy dishes made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced whenever possible.

They have a sign on one wall with information about the name “Arabella”. Here is what it says:

ARABELLA Loveable 1) Origin: a female personal name. a Medieval Scottish variant of Annabella. from Norman-French Amabel. from Latin amabillis “loveable”. 2) Historic: a name made famous by Lady Arabella Stuart (1575-1615), a major claimant to the English throne in the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Arabella’s first cousin, James IV of Scotland would ultimately assume the title of King); due to the political atmosphere of the day. Arabella’s marriage choices were denied for fear that such an alliance might strengthen her claim (she was English-born with considerable royal blood and possessed a classical education befitting a monarch; when Arabella secretly wed Lord Beauchamp (another claimant), the outraged king separated the newlyweds and imprisoned her in the Tower of London where she would ultimately find her fate; cursed by her own royal blood, Arabella is remembered by history as England’s would-be Queen; 3)Usage: use of this name is found since the Middle Ages (mainly in Scotland), spreading beyond by the 18th century.

This has become a favorite go-to place for lunch for a friend and me. We’ve been here twice so far. Both times I’ve had a different menu item and have found the food and drinks very much to my liking. My friend and I plan to continue visiting Cafe Arabella frequently.

Cafe Arabella also has a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. I have seen groups of friends, families with young children, and men and women of all ages spending time in this cafe where the staff is always friendly. The cafe is also always clean and well kept.
