“I took a cookie decorating class and it was so fun! Laura gives step by step directions while giving us the freedom to be creative. I am looking forward to taking another class!“

“Love! Our local store delivered pretzels for all staff! Thanks, Tanya (Ephrata store)“

“Scratch bakes has coffee and desserts, along with a beautiful seating space. It’s a good spot to come in the afternoon for a social meeting or a relaxing place to work. Acoustically it is a little echoey, but there is music that helps it from having a dead silence.“

“This was something like my 3rd visit. It is an absolute must when coming to Amish Country. Make it a jumping off place for your exploring. The baked goods are amazing, the service is friendly, efficient and well thought out and the ambiance lets you begin to feel that you have really stepped away from your busy, modern life. Great for families, tourists or those who just want a to slow down.“

“Cute shop and informative tour! Awesome, fresh pretzels!“

“As always amazing the woopie pies where a hit at our friends party .. Thank you again“

“The owner of the shop was wonderful and extremely friendly. We stopped in and purchased one of each cupcake flavor. They were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this shop !“

“I really like everthing I have ever bought at Zigs, my problem is the service, you can be at counter waiting for service an the servers will just walk past you.“

“I dropped by for a quick bite to eat before a work conference and was pleasantly surprised! My bagel was delicious, and the coffee was excellent. After years of having so much burnt espresso it made my day to finally have a properly pulled shot of espresso in my latte. The service was great, the young lady who took my order told me all about some great historic landmarks to check out while I’m in the area and made me feel so welcomed to Lancaster.

Make sure to stop in for a bite to eat and quick caffeine hit, you’ll be glad you did!“

“Pumpkin Brown Butter Scone and Caramel Apple Cider was delicious“

“The bread, pizza, & granola are all brilliantly good, & Thom & his team are fantastic - highly recommended!“

“Inclusive and delicious! My favorite combo!“

“Martins makes excellent, original hard pretzels. You can watch them being made at times when you go in the store. They supplied us with tins filled with pretzels for our customers. Thank you everyone at Martins for continuing on the tradition of pretzel making!“

“The service was quick and very pleasant. Your coffee was some of the best I’ve drank and your black bean brownie was better than a regular one!! My grandson enjoyed it and never knew the difference ❤️ An eclectic, homey, well priced coffee and eatery. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free. Will definitely be back!“

“Everyone is very nice beautiful campus!!“

“Love this place very friendly and happy people to be around“

“The best pie I've ever had!“

“I ordered a cake for a birthday party and was not disappointed! The 12" round cake was HUGE and could definitely serve 35-45 people as stated on their website.
I chose the Peanut Butter Symphony flavor and it was delicious. The combination of chocolate cake and peanut butter mousse was perfect. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors.
The staff were very friendly and even carried the cake out to my car to help me load it (so I wouldn't drop it opening the door).“

“A must stop for anyone in Lancaster. I would consider this a hidden gem. If you are traveling to Lancaster and want a delicious sticky bun, skip every bakery except Mr. Sticky! They are huge, taste amazing and the price is actually very fair. I went to a Cinnabon in the mall the other day and paid $7 for a cinnamon bun! I instantly wished I went to Mr. Sticky.“

“Went to lancaster today and visited this place...Nice atmosphere...The owner and staff were very friendly, Place was very clean... The empanadas were delicious...must try an alfajore for dessert... Can't wait to visit again.... Thank you, had a great time there.....“

“Great people, found them while delivering over the years as a truck driver.If you have a farmers market in your area with Amish selling cheesecake, cakes, and torts most of it is Pellmans, if you can't make it out to the New Holland area“

“I am reviewing the location, not the product. This is not a bakery. I was very excited to see a GF bakery near me on google maps, and went with my husband to try it out for breakfast one day. But this is not a walk-in bakery, it is a manufacturer. They bake the goods and ship them to other stores. I was so sad that this wasn't a dine-in or even takeaway location. (I hope it becomes one someday!) Also, the name for the location is Tonya's Gluten Free Kitchen. Google, please update this information for other people out there, as my changes keep getting rejected. Thank you.“

“Excellent cakes!! Tracy was very communicative and matched our cake to the reference picture perfectly for my son’s birthday. Will be going here for all of our special occasion cakes moving forward.“

“amazing cakes and pastries beautiful work friendly service 5 ⭐️“

“The menu selection and preparation was, as always, perfect. We had three generations at lunch, and each found something wonderful from the menu. Everyone delighted in the dessert options from the bakery case. Our out-of-town visitors were charmed and impressed. The bathroom was disappointingly dirty with no hook for a bag. Our server had exceptionally long nails with embellishments that did not appear sanitary.“

“After seeing a lot of advertisements on Facebook I decided to go ahead and place an order (good job marketing team).
I ordered a six pack of assorted cookies. The order shipped right away and was at my door within in couple of days. The cookies arrived carefully packaged and everything got to me in one piece. Right away I tried the S'more cookie and... O M G!! Everything exceeded my expectations. Fresh, delicious, and pretty much the perfect cookie. I will definitely be a returning customer.
**Editing**
I was about to place another order and noticed that some cookies are only available if you subscribe to their cookie club. The monthly cost is a bit steep, but I figured I'd try it for the minimum three months. Once reached check out and saw that it was going to cost almost two hundred dollars for the order, I immediately hit the brakes and decided that I couldn't justify paying that much money for cookies. Especially because I have no way to know if I would even like the flavors without trying them first. Can your average customer really afford this? I'm still giving you five stars because your cookies are incredible. But please consider allowing customers to order any of your flavors without needing to subscribe.“

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.“

“Awesome breakfast spot - flaky croissants are the best! And the homemade ketchup! Nice outside space to enjoy with friends!“

“Hands down the best, really handcrafted coffee I've had in a VERY long time. The guy running the show recommended trying the house chai, and I was blown away. I didn't know chai could be that good. Also had a cappuccino, and I was just as impressed. The owner(?) was super friendly, helpful, and kind with everything. It's a bit off the beaten track if you're driving, but I recommend finding this place and stopping in!“
