I came back and ELENA is the most enthusiastic and caring server. She is great!”

“3/3/26 Updated:
My return visit was just as good! The food is fresh, flavorful, delicious, with good portions.

Great selection of dishes ( including large vegetarian selection). 4 spice levels ( mild, medium, spicy, extra spicy). I got medium and it was a fair amount of spice. Friendly staff. Food was delicious!”

“Just discovered this Vietnamese restaurant in Reading—I have no idea how I never heard of it before, considering they’ve apparently been open for a few years. Lately, my go‑to Vietnamese spots have been Saigon Banh Mi in Exeter and Saigon Eats in King of Prussia, but A Ha Eggroll was a great find. The food quality, portion sizes, and prices were all impressive. The shredded pork in the vermicelli bowl was cooked perfectly with a great grilled flavor. I can’t wait to go back for another meal from A Ha!”

“The desserts from The Cottage Bakery & Café were truly one of the highlights of our wedding day! From the moment we first tasted everything, we knew we were in for something special—and they absolutely delivered beyond our expectations. Our wedding cake was not only stunning, but every bite was pure perfection. The flavors were so fresh, rich, and beautifully balanced—nothing overly sweet, just incredibly delicious and thoughtfully made. The groom’s cake was just as amazing and such a fun, flavorful addition that our guests couldn’t stop talking about! And the gluten-free cupcakes… wow. I had multiple guests tell me they were some of the best gluten-free desserts they’ve ever had—honestly, you wouldn’t even know they were gluten-free! That was so important to us, and it meant a lot to be able to offer something that everyone could truly enjoy without feeling like they were missing out. We received so many compliments throughout the night about how incredible everything tasted—it was truly unforgettable. Dawn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She was so friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. Every email was answered quickly, every detail was thoughtfully handled, and she made the entire process feel easy and exciting. If you’re looking for desserts that not only look beautiful but taste absolutely amazing, The Cottage Bakery & Café is it. We couldn’t recommend them more!”

“Excellent place, food, and service. I can honestly say that, after visiting many states and several restaurants over the past two years, this is the best of them all. It's a hidden gem that my family and I discovered today. They should open more restaurants in other locations!”

“Wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner ❤️ everything was delicious and the service was great!”

“Buffalo chicken ranch pizza”

“I highly recommend their apple caramel chai tea & cinnamon buns. Honestly I can't wait to try the rest of their menu. The atmosphere is lovely & cozy, making it a must-visit destination.”

“We came here approximately 20 years ago when it was called The West Reading Diner.
Pleased to see that it is still in the family, as The American Diner Reading PA. The food is of high quality. Our server Debbie was superb and went the extra mile to ensure we were looked after. Well worth the visit, highly recommended. Thank you Bernie and Liz from Telford, England. UK.”

“Jim and Colleen catered a farm to table dinner for a work event at Rodale. It was perfect! Our guests kept raving about the delicious food. Highly recommend!!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.”

“Delicious fresh coffee! I got the Brazil roast and it is delightful. Nothing like grinding the beans fresh.”

“I have been craving some delicious Specialty Hotdogs and I am beyond happy that I picked UpDogs to fulfill my hunger. All the staff were amazing and the food was so delicious. I will be back very soon and might even try the challenge.”

“Been going here for almost 20 years. It’s the most authentic traditional boricua food in a Reading restaurant. You get your moneys worth. The family is wonderful.”

“Brunch at B2 Bistro = Next-Level 🔥 Tried the new brunch menu and I’m still recovering (in the best way). The Thanos Burger is a beast — stacked, juicy, and packed with flavor. It’s the kind of burger that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod in appreciation. 💪🍔 But the Tiramisu French Toast?? Absolute game-changer. Soft, espresso-soaked, creamy, and somehow not overly sweet. It’s like dessert for breakfast but still feels classy. ☕🍞 10/10 would recommend. Just go. You’ll get it. #B2BistroBrunch #ThanosBurgerHitsHard #TiramisuToastIsLife #brunchgoals”

“Long time take out customer, first time dine-in recently. Their pizza reminds me of a pizza place I used to go to in Manhattan, crispy crust with the little pepperonis that curl up real nice! Their #14 special hoagie is AMAZING. Not many places can come up with a sandwich of that quality. Inside is very clean and the staff/customer service is the best, curtious and fast!!! A nice family owned business that cares about the future and legacy of that restaurant.”

“First time trying the iced Blondie ! Sorry Starbucks but I found my new love for iced coffee ❤️”

“First time here. It was busy but not overwhelming. They use their space wisely. Server was nice, a little forgetful but nice. Food was great. I don't think there was one thing I tried that I didn't like. I'd pick this place over Shady Maple any day of the week. Can't wait to return!”

“They always give the best customer service I've ever had. Always attentive & accommodating. They have the most friendly staff that make every trip here a joy. And the ice cream is always top notch. 🍦”

“Can not say enough about how delicious our dinners were! Service was fantastic too. Such a pleasure to go out and enjoy everything!”

“The honey lavender icecream is the best icecream I’ve ever had! All of the people are very friendly and their ciders are equally delicious! Produce is great quality for a great price, we will definitely be back!”

“Lovely atmosphere. Lamb was great. Drinks, STRONG! But great overall.”

“Our first time visiting this hidden gem in Oley! We love having more options available locally for freshly made quality food! We tried the Ryse mushroom espresso and a specialty iced banana brule’ latte. Both were perfect!! The avocado toast is probably the best I have ever had! The bacon, egg, cheese croissant was a hit as well! Please support this locally owned business - you will be happy you did!!”
