“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)“

“Would definitely recommend! We went around 3pm and it was very quiet. The atmosphere is very nice. There prices are very reasonable. I got a salad and sandwich combo for $11 with a drink and chips. I thought the food was delicious. Service was great. Would go back!“

“House of Clarendon made the wedding cake of our dreams. It was classic, elegant, and exactly what we wanted—Martine absolutely understood the assignment. Not only did it look perfect, but it was hands-down the best cake we’ve ever tasted. Our guests couldn’t get enough—many went back for seconds, and some even thirds! We’re still getting compliments on it!!! If you want a wedding cake that delivers on both looks and taste, House of Clarendon is the one hands down!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I liked the store very much!“

“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!“

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

“Inclusive and delicious! My favorite combo!“

“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!“

“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“

“Amazing pies and breads😚“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“La Bella Cakery made the most beautiful cake for my daughter's bridal shower. The theme was "Almalfi Coast" (blue, white & lemon). I interviewed several cake places and chose La Bella Cakery because they were willing to deliver and set it up and Pamela, the owner, cared about each detail in making the cake of our dreams. And, the best part was that it tasted divine too. She put just the right amount of lemon in the buttercream frosting. So delicious. The price was so reasonable too. Many guests asked who made the cake and I gladly referred them to Pamela. Cudos and many thanks for making a special day even more wonderful!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 ⭐️“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“The food was good and overall we enjoyed our experience. I dinged them because they were out of quite a few things on the menu. It was fairly early on a Saturday evening (6:00 reservation) and they were out of four main courses, a salad, and an appetizer. There were no seafood choices at all. The ambience was kind of nondescript but in their defense they weren't in their regular space. I did love my dessert - I don't see it often on menus.“

“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“

“I stopped by yesterday for the first time and wish I would have purchased more (I don't live nearby, so it will be a while before I can get back again). The macarons and caramel marshmallows were delicious!“

“The baked goods are amazing, friendly staff with good customer service. Would definitely recommend!“

“Arabella’s is a lovely cafe with great food and kind staff!“

“Absolutely amazing food great service!!! I got the loaded breakfast tot!!! 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!! Thank you savory truffle for a wonderful meal!!!“

“The best pickles ever!!! The Habanera Dill Blast are so good that even despite the heat, I could finish a whole jar in one sitting!And the sweetest vendor ever! Pre-pandemic I was shopping for my usual pickles and jerky and was short $5 cash. The man trusted I’d be back cause I was a regular, and spotted the rest of the cash. Just a few weeks later the city went into lock down. When the market reopened post-pandemic I would always check to see if he was back and was concerned he wouldn’t return, since it had been several months since the reopening. Even though it was almost 2 years later, the stand was back at the union square market and I got to repay my loan. #1 fan here!“

“My husband loves the peanut butter and snickerdoodle cookies. I love the GF molasses cookies, very tasty! We also enjoy the marshmallow, caramel and chocolate candy! Great size and very delicious! Very friendly and patient workers too.“

“I wish I could tag every sandwich shop in Lancaster, so they could know where the best sandwiches are made. Take notes. I went here on a whim, and let me tell you. The Zesty Jack was unbelievable. My only regret is not buying 3 more to take with me. Their sauce, the cheese, the bread, just absolutely muah. *Chef's Kiss* 10/10. Perfect.“

“It’s a cute little shop but they get lots of pretzels out. While they’re not a healthy option they are a delicious one. I’ve rarely ever been disappointed in the pretzels there and they always make a great addition to any party. I would recommend!“
