    Dining room seating
    Rae G.

    Prior to Covid closings a charming cafe had briefly held this space, so I was excited to see the space reopened as a very similar eatery. There is delightful seating options including window seating, bistro tables, and comfortable seating in the back where there is a variety of interesting items to see and purchase. The décor is eclectic and fun with a European vibe. The menu items are diverse and plentiful. There are vegan and vegetarian items, like the flatbread pizza my friend savored. I chose a ricotta cheese crepe special which was not at all what I expected. It was served cold and very sweet, with whipped cream, chocolate syrup and fruit. It was very good but much more of a dessert than I thought. There are many options for specialty teas and coffees. I had a vanilla flavored black iced tea. The tea is prepared as ordered. There is a generous bakery case with a variety of different decadent options. A local bakery provides the pastries and they are all made with attention to detail, like little real violets on the iced bundt cakes. The macarons were some of the best I have ever had with a lovely creme filling. I also tried a very thin almond covered cookie that looked like it would be crisp but it was very soft. The prices were very reasonable and there is nothing not to enjoy about this eatery. From the food options and desserts, drink options, decor, seating, location and prices, this is as good as it gets.

    Very good drinks and food. Warm atmosphere, street view if you wanted, friendly staff.

    Mediterranean flatbread

    Gluten free Mediterranean Flatbread was yummy! The crust was soft and had a great flavor. Chicken was sliced a bit too thick though and kept falling off the bread cause it was too heavy. I would order this again. Suggestion to add it they have it: roasted red peppers, spinach and/or eggplant - a veg would make this A an A+

    Spinach and Tomato Eggs Benedict

    Such a fun little shop to stop by! I came in with a large party and the workers were all so accommodating to help out our group. I had a lavender latte and the tomato and spinach eggs benedict. Both were very yummy! I also grabbed a little gift for a friend that they had on the side wall, definitely a fun spot to come to when in Lititz.

    I am totally OBSESSED with this cute little cafe! I'm so happy that I found it via Yelp and have come the last two weeks to enjoy lunch here. The staff is so friendly and navigated me through my options on the menu. The atmosphere is so inviting and I can totally veg out here while on lunch. The food is AMAZING! I've had the rail trail panini which is so good! The red mex flatbread and bbq chicken flatbread are both excellent as well. I LOVE that they offer gluten free options here, because most places only have 1-2 things to choose from. I can't wait to come back and continue to try the entire menu! Highly recommend.

    Cafe Arabella is an excellent spot to work remotely. They offer free wifi and excellent food and drink choices. My favorite thing to order is their lemon lavender cake. It may look dry, but it's surprisingly moist and packed with flavor! I also really enjoy their soups and lattes. In addition to working remotely, my parents walk downtown weekly to grab lattes to go! Great spot to sit or stop by.

    This cafe is an extremely good example of fantastic branding. The decor, vibe, & design portrays a cozy, aesthetic environment; however, the food was not as good as I had hoped it would be. The chai latte was lacking; the coffee was pretty good & strong. I was surprised with the tex mex flatbread though. The guacamole on it tastes literally like store bought guac, & it honestly was something I could've made myself. It was lacking flavor & that special something. The sandwich was standard--with just cheese & eggs. I think everything, including the drinks, was lacking taste or something because it was too simple & bland. Like I could've made this myself. The cafe environment was nice, but the food just didn't do it for me.

    Breve was good, shop was run down and dirty, pastries were old and stale, I think...unfortunately it needs fresh ownership.

I get the tuna melt every single time, and listen... their tuna is unreal. Perfectly seasoned, not too mayo-heavy, toasted just right it's basically my emotional support lunch at this point. I also never skip the seasonal drink special. Today's was the apple chai-der and it was so cozy and delicious. Their drink specials always feel like you're sipping the current season through a mug. Zig's also has an entire cooler/freezer wall packed with soups, applesauce, and grab-and-go meals. My all-time favorite soup is the Tomato Pepper Jack absolutely phenomenal. If you see it, grab two. Trust me. The bakery case? Dangerous. Cupcakes, pies, whoopie pies, parfaits... it's basically dessert heaven behind glass. And then there's my holy grail: the Buffalo Cauliflower. It's a rare find, and when I spot it I buy it in full apocalypse-prep quantities. No regrets. Between the rustic vibe, great coffee, incredible baked goods, and comfort-food lunches, Zig's is one of those places you keep coming back to because it just feels good and tastes even better. Highly recommend!

My husband ate almost the entire shepherds pie by himself...he was hungry and it's good. I just finished eating a chocolate mint cupcake that was so tasty. Their chocolate croissants are fabulous as well. Service was friendly and speedy yesterday. I was there at 4pm so I have found they are less busy at that time of day when I want to buy things to take home. If I lived closer to Zig's I would probably be there more often, but as it is, I am still thankful it's only a 30 minute drive from my home.

    Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is a historic pretzel bakery that opened in Lititz, Pennsylvania in…read more1861. It was founded by baker Julius Sturgis. During the 1850s, Sturgis worked as an apprentice bread baker. There are a number of variations of the origin story, but the most popular one seems to be that Sturgis was preparing a batch of soft sourdough pretzels and accidentally double baked them due to the summer heat. This "happy accident" resulted in dried-out pretzels. The head baker felt that no one would want them, but it gave Sturgis an idea to exclusively produce and sell crispy pretzels. By 1861, Sturgis had purchased a historic stone house and added a pretzel bakery in the back. Sturgis' brand of crispy pretzels soon became a big hit. He would continue to operate the business alongside his family for several years. The Sturgis Family is still in the pretzel business to this day. His grandson Marriott "Tom" Sturgis founded Tom Sturgis Pretzels in Reading in 1946. Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is the oldest commercial pretzel bakery in the United States. The current president and majority owner is Tim Snyder, uncle of current Tom Sturgis Pretzels owner Bruce Sturgis. My family and I recently visited Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery while we were traveling through Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. The area may be known for its rich Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but it's also known for its rich pretzel history and production. It just so happens that pretzels are my favorite snack! We arrived at the bakery just minutes after it opened for the day and signed up to take a tour. Participants have the opportunity to roll their hands in dough and make their own hand-made pretzels, just like workers did in the late 19th century. Our guide showed us all of the various tools of the trade from that period, but the highlight was seeing the original brick ovens. At the conclusion of the tour, participants were all given a complimentary bag of Tom Sturgis "Little Ones" pretzels. Afterwards, we headed into the retail shop which was stocked with various Julius Sturgis and Tom Sturgis pretzel products. Some of the varieties that we purchased for the road included "Little Cheesers" and "Honey Mustard". We also bought some freshly baked soft pretzels, which tasted out of this world! If you love pretzels then we highly recommend a visit to the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery!

At the end, they give you a small bag of hard pretzels. The storytelling was good and the workers were friendly, but I wasn't too impressed. It's a small, cramped space, and I'd recommend the tour for kids 8 and up. Our group had several kids ages 2-5, with lots of crying and screaming, making it hard to hear and very difficult for the storyteller. You can reserve your tour online, and they start on time, so keep that in mind. There is street parking and a few spots in the back, and we had no trouble finding a spot. There's a gift shop available and fjeu also sell soft pretzels and other snacks. Overall, it's a cute and cheap activity if you have an extra 20-30 minutes.

My wife got their regular burger and it was cooked to her liking. Eventhough it was not cooked how I prefer, it still tasted good! The fries tasted very very good! I love a shoestring fry! Unfortunately, they charge an extra 6 dollars to upgrade from chips to fries with their burger. The mozzarella sticks were out of this world. This was a very good bang for your buck. Homemade and handbreaded, they were massive. You get two for 8 dollars. The prices here are very high. To put it in perspective, if you go here and get two burgers, upgrade to fries for both burgers, and get two waters, your bill is going to be $48 dollars plus tax.... The decor and scenery in here is incredible! It looks awesome. The seating is very limited. Make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. We went at 430 and about half the tables were blocked off for reservations. Would definitely like to come back here and try different items, every dish that went by looked delicious!
