“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)“

“We had two wonderful experiences with Scratch Bakes!
First, they were our wedding cake/cupcake baker and they were absolutely excellent! Our guests were more than happy with the variety, quality and cuteness of the cupcakes.
Second, my bridal party, sisters-in-law, mother-in-law and mother got lunch there the day before the wedding, and the food, service and vibe were also excellent.
Thank you for what you do Scratch Bakes! You're awesome!“

“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.“

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

“Fabulous cream cheese bialys! Better than I can find in NY.“

“Everything these folks make is friggen amazing!! I think I’ve tried almost everything and there isn’t a single item that I wasn’t really impressed with. Glad to see it in some our local grocery stores too. FYI they sell their pizza dough if you’re looking for something fun to with the kids. Check out that fresh rosemary :)“

“I ordered my Daughter's birthday cake and I was more than surprised. It was a superb work and the cake was delicious. The best part was the wonderful customer service. Martin is the best, he heard all my ideas, comments, gave me feedback and guidance. I will definitely come back for my future events. I cannot stress enough that this is a wonderful jewel in downtown Lancaster.“

“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!“

“Everyone at our wedding LOVED the cupcakes!! They were such a hit. We can’t recommend Sweet Shenanigans enough!!“

“YUMM, everything pretzel... yum... if you thought NYC pretzels are good, then try these and let me know. Made with love from scratch; made to dip, made with meats and cheese inside, etc etc... my order was steak and cheese and chicken bacon ranch. The latter was the tastiest.
There are delicious fresh juices in the fridge. I had blackberry tea and tangerine juice... all fresh ingredients.

Parking: Front and side of the building“

“As always amazing the woopie pies where a hit at our friends party .. Thank you again“

“Pumpkin Brown Butter Scone and Caramel Apple Cider was delicious“

“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.“

“Inclusive and delicious! My favorite combo!“

“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“

“I loved Mr. Sticky's! The sticky buns are a delightful treat—warm, gooey, and bursting with flavor. The staff is super friendly, and the quality of sticky buns are wonderful. I grabbed by box that were warm and fresh. Can’t wait to go back for more! Highly recommend!“

“My friend and I stumbled on this lovely spot while spending the day in Lancaster. The selection was amazing, the staff friendly and helpful and the quality of the pastries was outstanding. I got a sfogliatelle and it was one of the best I've had.“

“My sister told me about your Fruit English Muffins, which she gets at Pine View Dairy. I tried them and fell in love with them. While I was there, I saw the bagels and tried the cheese, they were absolutely delicious. You have a winner in both, the flavors are so good. Keep up the good work.“

“Parking: Store entrance & parking lot are located in the rear of the store/factory. If you visit early in the day, you can watch pretzels being made. They sell bulk quantities in addition to the usual packs you'd find in a grocery store. Plus, Martin's sells so many flavors!! Good deals on bags of broken pretzels.“

“Everyone is very nice beautiful campus!!“

“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.....“

“My fiancée and I found this place on a whim. We were craving a bagel but didn't want to go across town. The moment you step in, the restaurant is bright and very inviting. Their menu is small but its create when you couldn't decide what you wanted. The breads are for sale and you can call to order a dozen bagels or anything else you might want. The bagels are a little small but very flavorful. The egg sandwich may need some sort of dressing but the ciabatta that it is on is so buttery. If you are out for a drive, this is an awesome place to stop. I hear their pizzas are awesome!“

“I bought a coconut cake at Christmas time last year. We didn’t eat it all and decided to freeze some of it. I just got it out of the freezer and thawed it out. The cake was just as moist and delicious as the day we bought it. I didn’t even have it an airtight container. They make an awesome cake. You can freeze it and thaw it out and it is as fresh as the day they make it.“

“First time here tonight, my husband and i had THE BEST experience! The staff was so sweet and friendly. The chocolate pb pie was delicious, so rich and creamy! My husband had the apple hand pie. Also, amazing! Flaky crust. Soft apples and warmed up just perfectly. Will definitely be back soon to try the savory pies!“

“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.“

“Awesome breakfast spot - flaky croissants are the best! And the homemade ketchup! Nice outside space to enjoy with friends!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I took my partner here for a nice meal and it is a very aesthetically pleasing restaurant and bakery. All the food was delicious but the price point was not as yummy! All in all, I would eat there again but just as soon say stick with the Bakery side so your wallet doesn’t cry!“

“Cheesecake/ carrot cake/ scones/truffles/dough rings, in fact she will bake anything you ask her to, nothing is to much trouble for MaryAnn and everything is fresh and delicious“

“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!“
