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

“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!“

“Beautiful White Rhapsody Birthday cake! The colors and the glitter were so pretty! The raspberry mousse and raspberry marmalade are like clouds of heaven. First cake from here and would definitely order from them again. Prices are reasonable as well. Thank you!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“We were in this PA area for only about 1/2 hour but I am very glad we chose to stop here! I was curious about shoo-fly pie and was thrilled when we walked in and were promptly offered a free sample of shoo-fly pie! It was delicious! There were plenty of other baked items for sale and the prices were really reasonable. I got a small plate of snickerdoodle cookies and my son got a peanut butter whoopie pie, and they were really good. The prices of the other souvenirs were pretty good too. Recommend stopping here.“

“best cheese Danish ever !!.“

“Jessica does the BEST cakes!!! Every time she does one for one of my kids they absolutely LOVE it!!! and especially all of their friends. Thank you again for making Bryce's birthday so special.“

“Wonderful experience! Clean, and fun rides“

“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.....“

“Unique accent to the local "flavor". Neat, clean, well stocked with only locally made food for that unique experience. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Stop in, a must see that's worth it!“

“My kids were hungry while we were shopping at the outlet mall. We got the regular salted pretzel and the cashier also gave us a cup of cold water as it was very hot outside. My family was able to grab one out of their 2 tables. Wished they had more places to sit.“

“We came across Amaranth Bakery at a festival recently. They had quite a selection of GF vegan options available. The brownies were the absolute best that we’ve had. Amaranth knows how to bake!“

“We absolutely love everything we have ever purchased! For every birthday and special occasion, we are ordering cookies at minimum. We’ve also ordered cakes, macaroons and her drop cookies too! Jessie provides the best results to my inspiration and then some. We will always continue ordering through her. The cookies are always soft, perfectly sweet yet not too sweet, smooth and beautifully crafted.“

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

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

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

“It’s a standard Italian bakery like in NY or other actual cities. The bakery items are good, the Italian cookies are ok even though they don’t make them all and the cakes and other items are ok. The actual bakery is very nice, the cashier/barista/c.s. woman was nice and knowledgeable, definitely worth visiting to try a few things.“

“I got a variety of the buns since this was the first time visiting. Once we got home, we tried each bun- regular sticky, cinnamon roll and walnut sticky. They were all delicious and the vanilla icing just made it even better. Nice treat for ending our trip to Lancaster.“

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

“I have ordered the pumpkin rolls for 3 yrs now from Amazon and they are so delicious,l will continue to order them for the holidays“

“Stopped in during a conference and was blown away. The barista, Blaze, was incredibly friendly, seriously knew his stuff, and made the best latte art I've personally seen (four different designs in one morning!). The espresso was the best I've had in PA thus far, and the drip coffee was easily on par with my own pourovers at home. Also got a blueberry lavender scones that was as good as they come.

The spot is small, with very little seating, but I honestly found that charming. Maybe I'd have felt differently if I weren't there right at opening!

If I lived in Lancaster, I'd be here daily -- but for my wallets sake, it's probably best I'm so far away!“

“Linden Coffee makes my taste buds happy! Seriously though, we stopped by one day on a trip to PA. We are from MD. In ordered a hazelnut cold brew, oh boy was it yummy. We came up to PA again and I made it a point to stop before we headed home. Again, they did not disappoint! This coffee is GOOD! I dance inside when I drink it. ❤️“
