“The journey to this bake shop is a story.

We drive into an Amish farm and saw no cars parked, nor a sign telling us where the bakery is. We drive deeper into the barn, almost knocking over the family dog. There were some dogs in cages barking at us, not sure if it was to welcome us, or to warn us.

We saw a guy who seem to work there, or owns the place. He told us that we went too far in, and said “turn around, it’s the red shed”.

We turned the car around, again, looking around to see which of those could be the bakery. We saw a hand written board “open”.

We go in. Shelves were almost empty except for a few trays of whoopie pies and some fry pies in the refrigerator. No one was inside except a box saying “self service”. “Interesting” we thought. Never have we seen such an establishment that was based on trust.

OH yes, how were the pies you say? SO GOOD. Just gotta bake them real good for a little. The whoopie pies are also really moist and cream not coyingly sweet.“

“The cake I ordered for my parents 50th anniversary was amazing! So good and decorated beautifully! Thank you!“

“I ordered about 300 Italian cookies for my wedding as one of our dessert options and La Dolce Vita did an amazing job! Our guests loved the cookies! They were also able to help deliver the cookies for us to make things easier. Since they’re closed on Sundays, they coordinated with myself and the venue to ensure delivery on Saturday. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me, especially Sydney! They were having trouble the morning of delivery getting in contact with the venue, but they worked tirelessly to sort everything out. The people at La Dolce Vita obviously care about and value their customers. I highly recommend them for any event, or to stop by for a treat!“

“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“

“Sandwich and pretzels were fresh! Pretzels are like the ones we made growing up. Liked the cranberry twist to a choice as well. However, one regular was a bit overcooked. The gal that waited on us was very nice. Great stop! If you’ve never had homemade soft pretzels (not the game day kind) - then it’s a must stop!“

“Deliciously Excellent pie and coffee!!! Warm and inviting atmosphere! People are absolutely amazing! We travel from Staten Island and visit every time! 🩷“

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

“Wonderful experience! Clean, and fun rides“

“Best Sandwiches in Lancaster area!! And the service customer is great, will definitely come back!“

“best pizza Lancaster PA!!! always friendly and helpful staff too!!!“

“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!“

“My favorite cinnamon rolls ever! They are SO good. The service is always super friendly, and they’re also extremely affordable. I’ve also had the pleasure of ordering these via shipping to a family member, and it was very quick and easy.“

“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.“
