The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere with beautiful local artwork that creates a relaxing dining experience. The breakfast sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The frittata was hearty, satisfying, and generously portioned. While it was just a little heavier on the pepper than I personally prefer, it was still very enjoyable. The highlight of our visit was the gluten-free, vegan strawberry matcha cinnamon roll. It was incredibly moist, delicious, and packed with flavor--one of the best gluten-free pastries we've had. It's refreshing to find a café that offers healthy options without sacrificing taste. If you're traveling through central Pennsylvania or simply live in the area, this is a wonderful alternative to the chain restaurants that dominate the highways. Whether you're looking for gluten-free, vegan, or just fresh, wholesome food, Down to Earth Café delivers. We highly recommend this café and will definitely make it a stop on future trips through the area.

I ordered the seasonal Berry Cobbler Smoothie, made with cranberries, blueberries, and strawberries blended with oat milk, then topped with maple syrup and granola. It was delicious and tasted just like the name suggests. As a workspace, this coffee shop checks all the boxes: Plenty of tables and seating Indoor and outdoor options Relaxed atmosphere Community bulletin board Great food and pastry selections What stood out most was how welcoming the staff were. From the moment I walked in, they went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and appreciated. That level of hospitality can completely change an experience, and it certainly did for me. The highlight of my visit was a staff member named Sofia, who genuinely made my day. She went above and beyond to make my visit special, and her kindness was the cherry on top of an already great experience. If you're looking for a place to work remotely, enjoy a great smoothie, or simply spend time in a welcoming community space, Cornerstone Coffeehouse is well worth a visit. Sofia, you're the best

While scrolling social media one evening, I stumbled across a heated debate about who makes the…read morebest peanut butter pie in Central PA. This conversation was clearly MADE for me. As someone who takes peanut butter desserts perhaps a little more seriously than the average human being, I immediately started making a list of the top contenders. Oak Grove Farms kept popping up, so when I found myself with a free rainy Saturday afternoon, it became time for an official Peanut Butter Pie Procurement Mission. Now, Oak Grove Farms offers way more than peanut butter pie. Their farm market is stocked with fresh produce, baked goods, meats, dairy products, locally made items and all kinds of other goodies. But this particular Yelp review? This mission? Laser-focused on peanut butter pie. Before leaving home, I called to make sure I wouldn't drive over only to discover they'd sold out. The nice lady who answered the phone happily confirmed they still had peanut butter pie available. Mission status: ON! When I arrived, I was actually surprised by how busy the farm market was despite the rainy weather. Apparently a little rain isn't enough to keep folks away from Oak Grove, which is always a good sign. I walked straight inside and made an immediate beeline for the refrigerated pie case. There were only two individual slices of peanut butter pie left, so I grabbed one before anyone else could beat me to it. They also had half and whole pies available, but let's try to exercise at least a little self-control on the first visit. The damage? A whopping $2.49 for a slice of peanut butter pie. I actually laughed. That's almost suspiciously affordable these days. As I was heading toward the register, I made the mistake of walking past the whoopie pies. Or perhaps the best decision of the day. Five minutes later, I was walking out with not only my peanut butter pie but also a Shoofly Whoopie Pie for another $2.50. My picnic dessert situation had officially escalated. Fast forward a few hours...dinner was over. It was dessert time. The peanut butter pie absolutely lived up to the hype! The filling was light and fluffy while still delivering a rich peanut butter flavor in every bite. I'm usually not the biggest fan of chocolate cookie crusts on peanut butter pie because I think they sometimes overpower the filling, but this one worked beautifully. Even the little dollops of whipped topping around the edge added just the right finishing touch. This one has officially earned a spot near the top of my Central PA peanut butter pie rankings! And then...the Shoofly Whoopie Pie. I honestly bought it because I'd never seen one before and curiosity got the better of me. And, I'm really glad it did! It was incredibly moist with a rich molasses flavor that came through beautifully without being overwhelming. It was unlike any whoopie pie I've had before, and easily one of my favorite varieties I've tried in quite a while. Mission accomplished! While Oak Grove Farms is clearly much more than just a destination for desserts, this peanut butter pie expedition was an overwhelming success. Next time I'll spend more time exploring everything else the market has to offer. But let's be honest...I'll probably leave with another slice o

I've walked and driven past it many times but had somehow never made it inside. Since Denim was also participating in the 2026 Cumberland Valley Coffee & Chocolate Trail, it felt like the perfect excuse to check it out and grab a quick late-afternoon pick-me-up. I walked in around 4pm and found a handful of people inside -- some chatting quietly, others working on laptops. The space was clean, calm, and welcoming, with soft music playing overhead. The woman at the counter was an absolute sunbeam on an otherwise dreary afternoon, greeting me warmly and happily taking my order. I went with an iced coffee with sugar-free vanilla syrup (extra sweet, please!) and oat milk. Total came to $5.25. While she prepared my drink, I took a moment to look around and realized what a great view Denim offers from their bar seating area. Full glass windows with stools looking out over the square in Carlisle make it a fantastic people-watching spot. That afternoon, the Farmers Market was set up across the square, and it was fun watching people dash between stands while dodging raindrops to grab their weekly goodies. It struck me as a perfect place to meet a friend, spend a few hours working on a laptop, or just decompress with a coffee and watch the world go by. Denim also had a small sweet treat case with snacks that would pair nicely with coffee. I stuck with just the drink this time, but everything looked tempting enough that I'd definitely consider adding a pastry next visit. A few minutes later my name was called and my drink was waiting at the end of the counter. One interesting touch: they placed the container of oat milk beside my coffee so I could add exactly as much as I wanted. It's a small detail, but not something you see at many coffee shops, and I appreciated the flexibility. The iced coffee itself was excellent. Unlike some places where iced coffee tastes like watered-down brown liquid, Denim's actually tasted like coffee -- strong, smooth, and delivering a solid caffeine boost. Overall: great service, really good coffee, reasonable prices, and a cozy spot right in the heart of town. The only real challenge is parking since it's so close to the square. Street parking is available nearby, but depending on the time of day you may need to circle a bit. All in all, a great little coffee stop and I'm glad I finally walked through the door.

We decided to share a flight which was $9. But really it wasn't like flights, they just let us sample a bunch. I am not sure how many we sampled but I am guessing we got our $9 worth although I wish they'd discount the flights/sampling if you purchase. We did get a bottle to go for a gift and the total came to around $32. Some of the flavors were really yummy and the ingredients are all fresh and some local I believe which I like. I also like that they do cocktails in house and they fresh squeeze lemons, limes, oranges, etc for whatever they're concocting. The atmosphere is cozy - like a cute coffee shop and decorated nice. Reminds me of my college days at the Allen in Annville...They don't serve food but they welcome you to bring your own food. Also they have live music often so it looks like a nice place to relax with friends and a drink or 2. As for me becoming a fan of mead? Not sure...I tried some that I didn't mind but really didn't have anything that I loved. There were some I was like oh no this is not for me. LOL I purchased a mule one which has fresh ginger and lime and I think that will be good over ice. That's another thing, we just tried them straight but I bet I'd enjoy them more over ice or however some of them are meant to be served. I'd still recommend this place based on overall experience. Next time I think I'll try a cocktail.

None of the breweries caught our eye, but I've heard about mead before so decided to stop in and see what all the fuss was about. The Larsen Meadworks is a nice cozy storefront right on Main Street with a small bar, high top tables, and some comfy couches and chairs. Not knowing the first thing about mead when walking in, i was particularly impressed by how the owner took the time to walk us through what it was all about - and to steer us towards some options that were similar to beer styles we liked. Was impressed by how many selections were available - and especially the collaboration they have with a local distillery - with rum from the distillery mixed with mead to create a cocktail. Gift alert! They sell bottles to go, I grabbed a few for Christmas gifts.
