“No wait time, clean and friendly environment but best of all… amazing food!”

“Great atmosphere, great food, great beverages! perfect for the location! 10/10 recommend!”

“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.”

“Best crepes around, as well as outstanding coffees and teas. Friendly, fast service, clean and homey atmosphere. Outstanding!”

“Been eating here once a week for a few years and whatever I order is always good!! Friendly people and food is fresh!”

“Love 💕 your food! Vince and all the employees are so kind and helpful!”

“Great food & Service 4 our Party of 23”

“Got a couple of cheeseburger hoagies for the family tonight, delicious! Friendly staff, tasty food, stop in. We love their pizza too. ?”

“My husband and I were on a small getaway and discovered this treasure. I am an ice cream lover and must tell you that this is hands down the BEST ice cream I ever had. My husband profoundly agrees! He wanted to go again before we left but it wasn’t possible. We’re already trying to plan another trip down just to go to Fox Meadows. Also, the staff was so friendly. The you g woman who waited on us was extremely friendly and provided us samples to try. Since it was our first visit we were also given a free beverage each! We 💯 percent recommend!!!!!”

“I was able to choose a nicely decorated ice cream cake from the case. They personalized it for me and in a few minutes I was on my way! Great customer service and a very clean store.”

“Had a wonderful visit at The Black Forest Brewery Oct. 25th, 2025 before our wedding began in Lititz later that afternoon! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was just perfect, had the pleasure of hanging out with the owner Denise (a childhood friend) and her friendly staff that made our visit so enjoyable. We all were from Reading PA., Chicago, Iowa and Knoxville TN, Waxhaw,NC, & San Francisco and we had a blast! Thank you for the start of our great day.”

“We just ate here everything was delicious! I had a buffalo chicken cheese steak so huge and yummy my hubby got the Philly cheesesteak with WIZ and as a Philly girl born and raised I tried his with not high hopes cause in Lancaster county there has been nothing close to a Philly cheesesteak so I will tell you it’s darn close ! It was very good ! I will order one next time ! We got an order of fries which was big enough to share ! I couldn’t finish mine ! Owners are so friendly! Neat little place with great food ! See you soon The Pizza House !!”

“It's been a while since I been here and it didn't disappoint either. I ordered the Special CheeseSteak and wow, Grand slam again!!! As I said before, Best outside of Philadelphia. Our waitress was the best too, Jordan, she had a great personality and was a real gem. Great job in the kitchen. Next time is pizza”

“Friendly service and a memorable chicken sandwich”

“The wife and I stopped in yesterday and got a delicious sandwich prepared by two really nice guys. I've only been here a couple times, but it's always been a pleasant experience. Kudos to the team that makes that happen.”

“By far the BEST sushi I have ever had. The Tsunami Roll and Volcano Roll are killer! It was so good, we ordered seconds!!! So fresh and soooo good!”

“Good beer, buffalo chicken Stromboli was amazing. Service was excellent!”

“The service was fine and the food was very good. (we were a part of 10 with 4 children), but I do have a complaint about the details when ordering. I ordered iced coffee and was not told that there would be a charge when I asked for a refill. I ended up paying $15.80 for 4 glasses of iced coffee. we also asked if we could replace fries with Cole Slaw and we were charged an additional $3. Charges like there should be stated by the staff when ordering. I did not realize the charge until the next day. Our total bill was over $150.”

“First time ordering after hearing nothing but raving reviews! Absolutely delicious! I chose the Phad Khmer mild and added chicken. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Mouth watering delicious!”

“We love coming for some coffee and letting the kids play at the indoor playground!”

“Most Compassionate. 🌈🐾🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐶🦴🥩🥔🍖Heart of Gold staff.”

“I wish we had tried this cafe sooner. The food is good with generous portions. We usually get one of the special which are a great deal. The seating in the enclosed porch is bright and airy with lots of hanging plants. The service has always been great. I've been telling everyone to go check it out. I can't recommend the Dutch-way cafe enough.”

“Every time I’ve eaten there it was scrumptious! Very nice, cozy cafe with an always-tempting daily board of choices. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a gem! GO”

“the people are very service is good food is always hot and fresh”

“Such a lovely dinner & wine tasting!”

“Roma's is one of my MOST FAVORITE places in Ephrata. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. I'm always acknowledged quickly with a smile and kindness. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Pepperoni pizza 🍕 for the win!”

“We loved the fresh baked cookies! The staff is very friendly and have great customer service. Plus who doesn't love ice-cream??”

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

“Best coffee and excellent service. I make a special trip to Green Dragon just for their flavorful “Jamaican Me Crazy” coffee. This is one of the best little coffee shops around.”

“Food was great! We ordered in person & got a wait time of 15 min., on a Friday, around 1:30 pm. We went to get gas and came back about 20 min. later. Still had to wait another almost 10 min for the food. I think they had a lot of internet/mobile orders too. Only reason we ordered in person instead of online was because the person buying didn't want to put the credit card online through the phone. Total price ended up being about $3-5 cheaper when ordering in person (maybe the extra was for credit card processing fee?) All-in-all I would recommend this place if you're near here & craving some good Chinese food!”

“A lot more bar seats now. Will be great in football season.”

“I placed a catering order and once again JD's did not disappoint. Best food in all of PA!!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and everyone raved about the food. I'm sticking with JD's for every event!!”

“Lots of delicious food to choose from! Service is fantastic. People are so nice and friendly there.”

“Best service ever the manager and workers work very hard and do a amazing job . My kids and family love you all . You guys are so sweet .”

“Walked in and they're very friendly and helpful! Food came out fast and it was hot out of the oven. The food was amazing!!! Got a hot buffalo Stromboli. They are not skimpy with their food. It was the perfect amount of spicy, juicy, and delicious! And there wasn't that extra amount of dry crust like other people's Stromboli. Perfect!!!”

“This is such a nice fast food restaurant! Everyone that works here is so nice, the orders are always correct, and the place is very clean. Not to mention the food always consistently is good. A really well-run location!”

“Got the VIP treatment today :) such amazing customer service here, and the owner David is so awesome and friendly! Thanks for making my family and I cotton candy!!”

“Ate here for the 1st time after driving by for many years. Had the Reuben and a Lager. Both were excellent and the wait staff was very attentive to our group. Will not hesitate to add this to my list of local places to eat.”

“I love this place. The food is hot, correct, on time pleasant staff...!!!”

“Thank you Starbucks of Ephrata for a fabulous experience! A fantastic group of baristas working this afternoon with bright faces & smiles & bubbly personalities! Very refreshing with customer service being what it has been lately. Thanks for putting an extra pep in my step today with more than just coffee! The new drink concoction you recommended is delicious. Best experience I’ve had there. Keep up the good work! ☺️☕️”

“Wild Wings is always consistent & delicious in my book! My go-to is the BLT pizza & the peppercorn Parmesan wings and they never fail to deliver. Not to mention, it’s a small business & locally owned which I enjoy supporting.”

“We met a family member here for lunch between Christmas and New Years while traveling through the area. The food was as one would expect at an Applebee's, two of us had the grilled cheese cheeseburger which was pretty good, the kids had chicken tenders and the salmon and the wife had the chicken alfredo. They have a kids menu, but both our 10 year olds ate off the adult menu. I would say the standout part of our dining experience was our server, Mindy. She was very accomodating, had a mind like a steel trap, and did a great job recommending things. Keep up the good work! One thing to point out, and this has nothing to do with Applebees...finding the entrance with our GPS was a challenge. Not being familiar with the area we ended up having to do a loop to find entrance, which is NOT off 322. Turn onto Spring Garden St (its a lighted intersection), then left onto E Hill St (next street up from the light, then left into the parking lot. Our GPS did not know any of those steps, so it could be frustrating if your navigation skills are not the best. Simply put follow the signage for the Hampton Inn & Suites which is right there as well.”

“Excellent also very clean. Comfortable environment.”
