The experience of brand new Greek and Italian flavors at Mandros Imported Foods…read more The visit to the store taught me about the diversity of Italian pantry staples. The shelves are packed with a huge selection of imported canned goods, pasta, cheeses, and so on. With the authentic ingredients imported directly from Europe, you can taste the origin of foods. Like the Parma prosciutto, the cured meat made under strict regulation in Italy with its mixed salty and sweet flavor. On the shelves, the cheese, tea, pickles are carefully catagorized and varied by type -- definately helpful for customers to find their hometown flavors. The wall decorations, includeing old photos and a map of Pennsylvania cheese, adding a real European vibe to the store.The store is not only a good place to seek for authentic ingredients for your meals, but also a wonderful spot to learn about European culture.

Excellent Assortment of Greek and Italian Ingredients…read more S. Mandro's Imported Foods sells a wide variety of Greek and Italian foods. If you're in Lancaster you must check out their remarkable cheese and deli meat section. The pastas, not to be overshadowed, are incredible as well. This has been a family owned business since 1957, so you know you're getting the best quality ingredients. Having as large of a vendor network as Mandro's has, they are able to sell very unique and superior options.

Wowee... this place has everything and lots to explore, though a tad pricey. I don't even know where to start and how to end, cause there's so much going on. There's interesting local produce (crazy looking mushrooms, colorful beets/carrots/gourds/squash, shallots, tumeric, onions, potatoes and much more). In the mood for something hot? LSM has a smallish coffee bar, with ample offerings. Their to go refrigerated section has vegan/gluten free offerings: salads, soups, bowls, sandwiches. Upstairs, takes you to every grain imaginable, spices galore, local cheese/dairy/meat/pickles, frozen goods, cereals, stocks, sauces, juices (too much to list and remember). Additionally, there's a laundry section (unscented products), aromatherapy and homemade gifts.

This place was such an unexpected find in downtown Lancaster. As a kids growing up in Pennsylvania,…read moreI was long fascinated with international foods and snacks. I can only think of my teenage self finding this store. I loved trying new foods and learning about the different tastes and interests of other countries. The snacks here cover the globe. There are the Asian snacks like the Japanese Botan candy with edible wrappers made of rice to very hard to find snacks from France including naturally flavored lollipops and famed potato chips in various flavors. There is also an interesting range of chocolates here. The store is tiny but makes use of the space by packing the shelves. It's definitely worth the stop!

The Snack Stand is chock-full of offerings you may have only dreamed of, including Japanese matcha-flavored candy.

I think it's because there just aren't any competitors in central PA (closest H-Mart would be 1.5h away, ASSI plaza 1h away, etc). The produce selection looked ok - you could get things like thai chili peppers here, bokchoy, or more exotic things like lychee and jackfruit. There are a lot of aisles with dry goods like rice, noodles, sauces (they did carry jarred Maeseri thai sauces which is what I was looking for). They have a seafood section which had a strong smell and a "food court" with labeled fresh food items which was pretty barren - maybe 2 takeout things of dumplings on the shelf that didn't look particularly appetizing (visited on a Sunday around noon). Also, notably, the store is not in downtown Lancaster -- it's kind of remote from everything else. I don't think it would be worth making a special trip for.

I'm so happy this grocery store exists and love to visit as often as I can. The store is clean and…read moreorganized and I love the produce selection. The staff is very helpful and the seafood counter is a great place to try fresh fish. I picked up some mackerel last time I visited and the seafood clerk was able to filet it to my specifications.

Luckily, I had an event close to Lancaster that allowed me to make this quick stop to check this place out. It's located next to a Disney outlet store, too! Pepperidge Farm is a classic snack staple in many households, and I was really excited to see what offerings and discounts they had. They had gift baskets, bulk items, discounted Goldfish crackers, cookies and more! My favorite area was the freezer section, where they had puff pastry sheets in bulk (at a fairly good discount), frozen soups, lasagnas, and more. If you end up purchasing their Pepperidge Farm reusable bag and bring it back for future purchases, you get 15% off each time (on top of all discounts). There's plenty of good deals here, as I maybe got about 5 boxes of puff pastry sheets and 5 bags of cookies + goldfish for about $35! The staff here are super friendly and show you around, and there's a lot of interesting flavors and even gift baskets for people to check out. As you walk around, you forget that Pepperidge Farm also makes things like stuffing, bread, and other items. Everything is neatly placed, and it's super relaxing to walk around and browse everything. Check it out if you can!

Cabalar. Best burger in Lancaster…read more Now their specials are always LEGIT. Lancaster Restaurant Week was serving up a Jibarito, corned beef, fried plantains, melted cooper, pickled onions, and mayoketchup. The sandwich was incredible! Such a good touch on a cultural favorite! I myself prefer it without pickled onions, but if you love onions, this is perfect! Cabalar is massively popular and will always require a decent wait for made to order items. I believe we waited about 25 minutes for this sandwich. Love the green and white throughout the restaurant. Awesome shirts for sale. The decor in here is awesome with paintings everywhere. Tons of seating and kids area upstairs!
