Hwy 42 cafe & Hershey’s Ice Cream

Don’t pay extra for a waffle cone. They don’t fill it up. Total nickel and dime show.

Most well made latte I’ve had in ages and the place was spotless. Customer service top notch and super fast. What a relief to give my business to such a deserving place !!!!

Today was one of our many trips to this local gem. The owners and staff are friendly and we love that we can drive five minutes and get a tasty and reasonably priced breakfast wrap, bagel, or a variety of ice cream treats.
We’ll be back in a week or so!!

Im hoping we just didnt go at the right time? We are new to the area and stopped in around 7pm Monday night for dessert after dinner. The photos and reviews had us all excited and optimistic but when we walked in it was such a let down.
1st thing was the chemical cleaner smell was unbelievably strong and it was unbearable to stay in there for more than a few minutes. Then the display case was completely empty which we didn’t get too upset because we understood it was 2 hours before they closed. We began looking at ice cream but it wasn’t anything special, the menu was unfocused and lacked many fresh options. We saw alot of flavored “sauces” on the menu.
Lastly, it just wasn’t a very welcoming environment. There was copy paper pictures of food taped all over the place that were half ripped, and then off to the side there was a shelf with a bunch of of random stuff from Sam’s club they were selling for double the price. But the items had nothing to do with their business and it just seemed all over the place.

Maybe we will try again a different day and give them the benefit of the doubt. But I would say they definitely need a more welcoming, less unorganized, and less chemical smelling environment.

I was going there a lot when they first opened . I don’t like the play the race card but I stop going for like 2 years because I didn’t like how the owner did me . I just went back and the owner wife was the same . You would think they would treat people better being from a different nationality, their selves. I guess I won’t see you for another 2 years. On August 24 , 2025 I went in to give this place another try because everyone deserve another chance. I was attack because they remembered my face from the negative review that I did. So please don’t go there the husband is very rude and Racist . I’m a black man and I know racism when it’s in my face. I wish you was smarter to learn from the negative Reviews but you let your emotions take over. You will get it one day .

My family and I enjoy the food and atmosphere at 42 cafe. The workers are so nice and friendly. Love their super fresh bagels with salmon, capers , tomatoes and onion. The prices are very fair and you get what you pay for and more.

The Coffee and food came out quick and was very tasty! It is not a fancy cafe or anything of the sort but honestly a great place to pop in to get a coffee and bagel.

The bagel, doughnut, and drinks were delicious! The food came quickly, too. There are so many options there's surely something for everyone. And the people who served it were very nice. Yum!

My favorite ice cream is the crazy vanilla! Every Sunday evening with hubby in the summer 🌞 ice cream 🍨🍦

I cannot believe what just happened I been coming here for a while and just ordered a sundae like what I saw on the website and it's in a regular cup, how about the manager put it in a small ice cream cup and I looked and said this is not what I want, not angry or anything. He gets a whole attitude,starts yelling and throwing around his hands and says well this is what you ordered how do I know what you want, just rude, ugly and disrespectful. I had to keep my cool because he almost made me show my blK A.
But I said it ain't worth it, kids in here. Then I proceeded to say well let me go to the car and get my phone so I can show you where it says fudge sundae do you know he says well you still have to pay for this whether you get the other or not I'm like he's out of his mind and who he thinks his unprofessional self is.
After he kept being so nasty and hateful I said you know I'm not taking none of this and will not be back in here anymore!! I left it all there went out the door made it almost to my car and decided to turn around and went back in and called him up front and looked him in his eyes and said you know what? Since you need the money this bad keep it!! ( The order) Walked out and it was only $12.
Anyway none of the food is cooked I'd rather go to some place where people appreciate their customers because without them you wouldn't have the business. There are plenty of other places to go to!!! Thankfully I don't have to go to such an un grateful place of business anymore!!! You did me a favor.. with your horrible customer service.
