“I am originally from Philly and finding a cheesesteak in Lancaster County has been impossible! I have come to the realization that adding pizza sauce to a cheesesteak is the norm. Adding pizza sauce makes it a Pizza cheesesteak and I am often looked at as crazy when I ask for Ketchup instead of Pizza sauce. I have to say that this Pizza place has hands down the best damn cheesesteaks in Lancaster County. The rolls are not homemade from Pizza dough and are actually soft and delicious. My only complaint would be they are a little light on the meat but that's not going to stop me from visiting again. The older lady at the counter was personable. She greeted everyone with a smile as they walked in the door and her service was spot on! If she was having a rough evening, it didn't show. If you are looking for a REAL cheesesteak, this is the place. Just tell them to hold off on the Pizza sauce!”

“Probably the best ice cream I have ever had.”

“This was such an amazing place to go, I can’t wait to come here more in the summer time, they were so patient and sweet and the food was amazing, they have a small shop inside with Bible verses and that won my heart over, I love this place.”

“The food from CJ's is amazing, they have some of the best pizza in Ephrata and some of the best staff.”

“Great food, great coffee, nice employees and atmosphere, would recommend!”

“Their pretzels are amazing. Wide variety of jar food, baked goods and hand made goods. Can’t wait to go back next year.”

“We were visiting Lancaster for a few days and I wanted to stop here 1- because it looked so cute and 2- to find some good food that wasn’t “kid food” (family vacation problems lol). They did not disappoint!!! Everything was delicious! I wish we had an Agape here in Jersey by us :) The brussel sprouts are amazing. Thank you!”

“I flipping love this place. I wish I got to go more often, but they are not open on Sunday, which is my breakfast out day. But this place is an absolute gem. Find me better cream chipped need, I dare you.”

“Saw a bunch of posts in the take out and dining group about Hills To Sea in Ephrata so we gave it a try! My husband got a caterpillar roll (eel, avocado, and cucumber) and a noodle dish (can't remember the name). Unfortunately i have yet to find a place that has gluten free eel sauce so I got the salmon crazy roll (minus crispy onions) and the Singapore noodles. Everything was fresh and delicious!! We will definitely be back, especially for those noodles.”

“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.”

“I wanted to give 5 stars for every category but the only thing is some places are in fact better so the category that stood out the most as far as not QUITE a 5 maybe, was the server could have been a LITTLE more friendly. She was pleasant, but not like someone who is trying to really earn the 22+% tips they put on the CC machine they bring to you...so 4 there. Food was great. Just a TAD pricey maybe but overall a great experience! I would go back.”

“I’ve been coming to Cocalico Coffee Crafters for about a year and a half now—and I should have written this sooner. CCC is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a place with the warmth of a hearth, and the heart to match. Their Haitian espresso is rich and flavorful, the food’s solid, and the baristas are friendly. The space is large, and they fill it with good energy. But what really sets this place apart is the people. When I was going through a rough patch, I spent countless hours tucked away in a corner writing. Not once did anyone bat an eye at whether I ordered one coffee or ten, whether I took my meals there or not. I always got the same welcoming smile, and authentically good energy from the staff and owners alike. Owned by two genuinely kind humans, Rachel and Scott Elliott, this shop has quietly become a place of refuge and community for folks around East Cocalico—and I’ll always be grateful for what it gave me when I needed it most. Be sure to check out their site for menus or event rental information—I've not been in attendance to any, but I've seen the care with which they prepare: They're who I'll talk to next time I need such a space.”

“It was delicious and the garlic knots oh my goodness”

“Alway a good place for a quick lunch, often there are samples for you to try.”
