After 30 years of living in Tafton, Pennsylvania, my Bride and I just discovered Beach Lake Bakery…read more-- and what a wonderful surprise it was! From the moment we walked in, we were amazed by the incredible assortment of fresh, homemade breads, cookies, cakes, and more. Everything is beautifully made with obvious care and craftsmanship. The atmosphere at the bakery is warm and welcoming, and you can immediately tell that this is a place built on pride, tradition, and a true love for baking. Every item we tried was absolutely delicious, and the quality is second to none. It's rare these days to find a place where you feel like you've stepped into something truly special -- and Beach Lake Bakery is exactly that. We are so happy to have found this gem, and we'll surely be back many times. What a treasure to have right here in our own backyard! Highly, highly recommended!

This is an absolute stand out. A total must if you find yourself within a reasonable vicinity of…read moredriving. Anticipate long lines. They supply many of the better restaurants in the area with their outstanding breads. Lisa's bread was by far my favorite, nice crust, tart dense interior. Although the brie cheese and pear pastry was superb. The pies were delicious as well. I've never had a straight up raspberry, mixed berry or a strawberry rhubarb yes, but not this. The pie crust is very similar to when you make it at home- buttery, flaky, nice balance between the crust and the rich fruit. Their website provides the option to order ahead and then pick up.

The chicken was grilled to perfection. The hummus, feta, and everything was just so tasty. We also tried the herb salmon sandwich that was divine. The grilled cheese is a must order.

It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

Sign up for Grandmas daily updates on Facebook so you know what she has made for the day. She always has a good selection of homemade baked goods and a warm welcome! I ordered an apple pie for Thanksgiving and it was delicious with very fresh apples and a crumb top. I also get my bread there, a cinnamon raison and a multigrain. Grandma doesn't make the bread but it is homemade from someone else and it's much better than the Weis bakery.

We recently celebrated a friend's birthday in Tobyhanna, and I needed a nearby bakery since we…read morewould be driving in from Brooklyn. I was considering ordering a cake from ShopRite until I came across Sweet as Sugar Desserts. I'm so happy I found them because I prefer supporting local businesses, especially when they are POC and women owned. Right off the bat, the customer service was amazing. No more than 2 hours after I submitted the order form online, was I contacted by the proprietor Christiane. After a short email exchange, we spoke on the phone to communicate order specifics and to ensure she understood my "vision." And boy, did she come through! I already had a good sense of her decorating skills, but since there were no other reviews, I really did not know what to expect in terms of flavor. I ordered a tres leche cake with dulce de leche filling, and it frikken delicious!! The cake was perfectly moist, and the flavor of the filling was well balanced with the cake - which with this flavor combo can be overly sweet. But she really killed it and everyone loved it, the birthday girl especially. I couldn't recommend Sweet as Sugar Desserts enough!
