“💕 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💗”

“Service was second-to-none and I had an absolutely amazing Philly Cheesesteak and side of cheese fries. Bought a couple pizzas for some of the “regulars” hanging at the bar and cannot get over how good the pizza is! This place is a must-visit establishment with fun atmosphere, great service and just great food!”

“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!”

“I had an amazing experience at Firehouse Coffee in Kutztown and felt like it was worth sharing. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed and valued—not just like another customer passing through. That kind of service is rare and really stood out to me. The coffee itself was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable, which made the whole experience even better. It’s clear they care about both quality and the people they serve. If you’re in the Kutztown area and looking for a place with great coffee and even better customer service, I highly recommend stopping by. I’ll definitely be back.”

“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!”

“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”

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

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

“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!”

“Buen trato i rápido o buen ambiente!”

“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!!”

“What a wonderful little diner. Topton is like the town that time forgot. The prices here are amazing and the food is basic and delicious. We traveled over an hour to try this place...fortunately it was just a little off our route. During breakfast, we got to watch 2 freight trains pass about 50 feet from our window. I highly recommend this place. You may need to look for it, it is a little tucked away next to another restaurant...they share a small parking lot behind the building. CASH ONLY!”

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

“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.”

“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!”

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

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

“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!!”

“Very good, upscale atmosphere.”

“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!”

“Sarah is amazing. An absolute gem in Kutztown. Authentic hometown eats, great vibes and positive atmosphere!”

“I will miss this place. ❤️”
