“💕 their cheesesteaks. Not greasy and great price.”

“Great place to go! Everyone is so nice! Everything we try is so good! Wish they were open for suppers! You won't find a nicer place💗”

“Michele and I love this place.”

“Food, beer, atmosphere was great. Will absolutely be back. The new owners kept the integrity of the old building, while making it a new place for everyone. Menu offers variety of amazing options. Staff was welcoming and kind. Thank you Ethan for the great service!”

“Stopped by last evening for the first time in a while. We are from Schuylkill County. Great meal, wonderful service ,thank you Cheyenne. We’ve even had a moment speaking with the owner, Todd. Thank you for your time and keeping this beautiful hotel/restaurant operating.”

“All very good except price! Pricing referenced in OnLine menu much lower than actual pricing. Remove them and update with current pricing which is 50 % more. $35 for salad, protein , ice tea ( non alcoholic) is ridiculous).”

“My daughter and I dined here yesterday for the first time and enjoyed our experience. The service is lovely. We particularly liked the chicken shawarma, falafel, and hummus, but I gotta say, the star of the show was the pistachio cheesecake. Wow! This is a family owned and run business, and, if I heard one of the employees correctly, there's a certain family member who makes the desserts. So good! We'll definitely be back!”

“Great coffee! Friendly staff! A diamond in the rough! Highly recommend!”

“I had worked with the owner and staff to place an order for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. Among the guests included one/more children with special needs, so I needed the food to be inclusive. So, my order was somewhat off-menu, and the owner was totally willing to work out pricing with me. He gave me a great value. He stayed in close contact with me, even when I had to tell him that the party was being rescheduled. His team had the order ready on-time and despite the weather, the food was still hot when I arrived, and everyone enjoyed the taste. If you want to be treated well, I recommend Slice N Spice!”

“How do I tell your closed Saturday so I don’t have to drive up and read your taped sign?”

“Filet mignon was amazing. server was attentive and friendly recommending gluten free dishes for my wife who has Celiac.”

“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!”

“awesome 👌. great service. great food”

“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!”

“Beer and food were great and the staff was friendly.”

“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!!”

“My husband and I are moving to the area soon, so my Mom and I tried out this place. I liked the low key atmosphere and the food came out hot and quick. I was so full but couldn’t stop eating my western omelet. The prices were very reasonable too. Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon! Parking is limited, but we walked from our new house.”

“The food is awesome, the staff is great. it's one place that I love to go to.”

“The best of the best in The Lehigh Valley!!! Starting with their fun seasonal drink menu, their drinks are absolutely delicious!! Great regular or flavored martinis here!! Ninfa is a talented bartender and can make anything you want!!
Rosa and Rosa (the daughter) are ALWAYS extremely accommodating and very helpful with suggestions and always quick to offer bread or something while you're waiting for your meal. This is the type of family hometown restaurant you are looking for! We have had parties here, networking events and regular family dinner here. Guiseppe makes the best food! We are frequent flyers here and we always try to bring new people with us to introduce them to our favorite Italian restaurant.❤️Bravo Delizioso Italiana!!! And great cannoli too!! See below.”

“Went there with my family for the first time, yesterday. Kiosk order process is clear and concise. Nice selection of options including vegetarian. Since I’m a nube with this style of food, and always a bit cautious when going to new places, I was pleasantly surprised. Will def be returning when in the area.”

“This has become my favorite to go place for lunch and I love the build your own bowls!”

“We were traveling through the area and found this gem because of the great reviews. Our food was amazing. My curry was flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My husband ordered a whole fish. It both looked and tasted fantastic. Our server, who I think may have also been the owner, was super nice. This will be on our list of places to visit the next time we are anywhere near (live in Florida) and we are already telling our friends.”

“Best ice cream ever!!! We love longacres!! ❤️”

“Very good, upscale atmosphere.”

“Buen trato i rápido o buen ambiente!”

“Chino’s Place is a great place with wonderful food but let’s talk about the decor! Check out the pigs in the back room or the cutest cow picture above the lady’s potty to name a few of my favorites. Stop in for a great meal and atmosphere.”

“Such a beautiful restaurant. I love the cozy and quiet atmosphere. Food is fantastic as well!”

“Don’t know why it took me and my family so long to visit. The coffee is amazing! It actually tastes like the flavor you pick! Can’t forget the amazing scones and other goodies! Can’t wait to go back!”

“I will miss this place. ❤️”
