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.

Dang it Lancaster, you have everything and more, for us foodies. First time at Lemon Street…read moreMarket, but was on my radar for quite some time. 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.

We tried the jamón/ham-flavored chips (a little pricey at $7 for a large bag, but fun to try) and some floral-flavored Skittles that genuinely tasted like flowers. On the drinks side, we went with the Rouge flavor from Orangina, which was delicious. The staff were super friendly and gave us honest recommendations instead of just pushing the popular items. Highly recommend if you're looking for something fun and a little different to do. The store is broken up into two sections across from one another in a store complex area (snacks on one side and drinks on the other). It's on the smaller side but a very chill vibe! It's a great place for browsing, snacking, and finding your new snack to try.

Also, Starbucks next door messed up by not having their snack boxes a few days so I was a bit grumpy at first but relieved to find a replacement right next door . I'm completely converted.

Maybe I've been spoiled by living in larger cities in the past, but Asian Center Supermarket is…read moresmaller and pricier than I'm used to :( For example, a pack of Yakult here was $5.99, whereas ASSI would sell the same brand for $3.99). 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. I also love that I can get Hotteok (Korean sweet pancake) mix here! There's such a big selection of items and I always find new ingredients here that I can create new delicious dishes with. I always look forward to my next trip!

Every Goldfish flavor is carried here. Every cookie that they make is carried here. Bread, chips…read moreand even some refrigerated items. You can get deals as low as a $1 on some things. They only thing to keep in mind while shopping here is the date on the packaging. But don't let that stop you from shopping here. I worked in the snack game and the date on the packaging is only the shelf-life date. This is the date that a company puts on their product to say that it should be sold by this date. It is not an expiration date. As long as the bags aren't open it can last for months past that date. Now just keep in mind once you open the bag you it will go bad much quicker than a brand new bag. They also usually have free samples right by the front door. If you buy something they put a couple snack bags of usually Goldfish in your bag for free.

I randomly saw a video online about someone visiting a Pepperidge Farm Outlet store.. and that…read morecaused me to go down a rabbit hole on where they were located. 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!

They sell beef bones for $3 at the register if you want to treat your dog as well. I ordered the classic burger cooked medium with fries. I liked that the burger patty was super juicy and seasoned just right. I wish I added pickles to cut the heaviness of the meal but it was tasty overall. The fries were good but I prefer mine more crispy.
