The coffee shop I chose didn't really have a great food selection, so on my way back I popped in.

Service was quick and friendly.

Fresh donuts, simple but tasty…read more In town randomly for food, and happen to be in the mood for dessert. So I figured, why not donuts? and so we went to this random place to get a donut or 3. Place is rather unassuming from the front. looking like a renovated bank. From the inside, it's much more upbeat in comparison. The inside has a lot of cartoon rubber ducks, an ordering kiosk, and a cashier stand unmanned. It very much reminds me of a modern fast food location. Instead of ringing people out, you get a giant cell phone that you can order your donut creations and pay. The automated donut machines were busily churning away fresh donuts. The staff were there helping out others, and when it came to do our order one of them got the request and started to prep our snack. The stations were a little on the messy side, and the staff were very much in the mode of getting through with the day. They did do a good job with presentation, but the station was very much trashed. We got our 3 donuts, took some pictures, and dug in. Overall, pretty good. The donuts are not too greasy, more cakey than light. Which makes sense, since there's a lot of toppings you can put on a donut. The donut needs the sugary toppings though, without them they would be quite plain. The Peanut butter was more savory, and the jelly was more a gel than jelly. The bacon was good, and the maple glaze was more sugar than anything. As a donut, they are good but they are basic. You can fancy the donut up in a lot of ways, but the donut itself didn't bring anything to the table. its good, just not great

When I saw PA Bakery advertising mini King Cakes for Mardi Gras, I was genuinely thrilled. A…read morereasonably sized King Cake felt like a dream come true -- all the fun of the tradition without committing to feeding an entire village. I immediately pre-ordered two mini King Cakes at $5.50 each (total $11), already imagining the moment I'd get to gloat when I found the hidden baby! The mini King Cakes were actually quite generous in size. Easily enough for 3-4 people...although I personally demolished mine in one sitting and have zero regrets. Now for the part that caught me off guard. The plastic baby -- arguably the entire point of a traditional King Cake -- was perched on top instead of hidden inside. I was fully anticipating that moment of excitement that comes from discovering the baby mid-bite, because that's kind of the magic of a King Cake tradition. Without that element, what I ended up with felt more like a very festive brioche-style cinnamon roll wearing Mardi Gras colors than a King Cake. To be clear, it tasted good. The cake itself was soft without being dry, had plenty of cinnamon-esque filling without tipping into overly gooey territory, and was generously finished with frosting and sugary crystals. Flavor-wise, no complaints. But if you're marketing something specifically as a King Cake, the expectation is that the baby is hidden within. Otherwise, it changes the experience entirely. For food safety purposes, there are plenty of creative alternatives -- an edible marzipan baby, a clearly oversized non-choking-hazard version, sticker on the box, etc. -- but the surprise element is part of what makes a King Cake a King Cake. Overall, not a bad experience -- just not quite the Mardi Gras moment I was hoping for. Next year, I'll probably seek out a bakery that leans into the full King Cake tradition...because if I'm chasing the thrill of finding a tiny plastic baby in my dessert, I want to earn that victory properly. If the baby isn't going in the cake, just let me know up front so I can manage my expectations (and my Mardi Gras excitement) accordingly.

The West Shore Farmer's Market is actually so cool!!!! Just went for the first time yesterday and…read morewas really impressed. It was larger than the Harrisburg downtown one and reminded me of Reading Terminal in Philly (less crowded but still lots of options). There's also tons of parking all surrounding the building. The upstairs section has small specialty shops; the lower level is full of food vendors -- from produce to fresh pasta to tacos to pizza to pierogies to quiches. They also even had plant stands and floral arrangements. I got 1.5lbs of fresh made spinach fettuccine from Fasta & Ravioli, two very tasty bagels from Bagel Lovers (foccacia flavored and everything egg bagels--both were SO delicious and a great texture; they also had tons of other varieties like pumpernickel, onion, and blueberry, all made fresh daily and for a very reasonable price -- I think I paid something around $3 for my two bagels). I could've spent tons more time there but unfortunately was just stopping by after running an errand in the area. Needless to say, I will be back!!

Stopped by the market after a coworker mentioned they had opened a new fried chicken restaurant…read moreinside. I decided to give it a try, and overall, I was impressed. The fried chicken was the highlight of the meal. It had a golden-brown, crispy coating and was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and not dried out at all. The portions were generous, with some of the largest pieces of fried chicken I've seen from a hot food counter. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, making for a great side dish. The cornbread muffin was moist, soft, and paired well with the meal. The only downside was the potato wedges. They were seasoned well, but a few pieces tasted a little overcooked or burnt, which took away from an otherwise solid meal. Overall, this was a very good first experience. Between the large portions, fresh food, and flavorful chicken, it's definitely worth stopping in if you're looking for a quick comfort-food meal. I'd happily go back and try it again.

My hotel told me that it was worth the 15 minute drive out of my way to visit Donut N Joe's... and boy they were not lying! I was a little worried they might be picked over when I arrived around 10, but they still had a really good selection; things like coconut custard which I enjoyed along with a chocolate cake doughnut that was the best I've ever had. They've also got chocolate iced, Boston cream, lemon filled, cherry - filled you name it and I think they probably got you covered. If not, the breakfast sandwiches I saw coming out of the kitchen were pretty phenomenal looking. They have egg and cheese, bacon and cheese sausage pork roll, egg and cheese bagels, again it's gonna be hard for anyone to be disappointed here. Unfortunately, they were out of the other coconut that is topped with caramel drizzle and some other goodies, but I left fat, happy and with a big old honkin' smile on my face. The staff is super friendly, the place was immaculate and I'm surprised they even had any product left when I left because it was a constant line out the door. I will certainly add this to my route for next year's camping trip. Hopefully on the way over I can pick some up for our group to enjoy as a whole. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS DONUT SHOP! I promise you it won't be disappointed, They've only been in business for two years and I believe she said they opened another location too, that this was hands-down the best donut experience I've ever had in my 65 years. And not saying quite a bit....because this fluffy old bag loves a good doughnut and delicious coffee.

Lazy Sunday. Woke-up-at-1-p.m. kind of Sunday. Tried to…read morewrestle myself out of bed to get to Ressler's Bagels, but found out it closed at 1. What can I say, early bird gets the worm, and I never get the worm. So I pulled up Yelp looking for a comparable egg sandwich and found Dough N Joe. I'd been meaning to try their donuts anyway, but saw they had breakfast sandwiches, so I had to bust out and go. Funny enough, I pass one near work all the time and thought that's where I was headed, but GPS took me to Mechanicsburg. C'est la vie. I like a nice little Sunday drive, so here we are. Got there close to closing, pretty quiet, nobody really in there, donut selection a little picked through. but I grabbed an egg sandwich on bagel with cream cheese, a custard donut, and a cherry cake donut, then bounced. Sat in the car and started eating the sandwich while driving, which is a type of love language. Really good sandwich. Now, it wasn't quite the loaded, gooey, dripping egg sandwich my 1 p.m. soul was seeking, pepperoncinis, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, the whole artistic gooey goodness. It wasn't that. But it was really good. I definitely wouldn't call it standard fare. The ingredients were quality, the chew of the bagel was excellent, and I can still remember biting into that thing. It just wasn't the exact sandwich fantasy I woke up chasing. But the real tour de force. the reason you go to Dough & Joe is the donuts honey. That cherry cake donut? Big, Big, Big Fluffy. Airy. Cakey. Cherry. So good. Seriously, everything about it was so good. And look, I'm on a little health kick right now, so homeboy can't be eating giant cherry cake donuts all the time. I had to stick my neck out a little. when in Rome. Had a guilty conscience about it. Worth it. #cheatmeal Completely worth it. Highly advise you go. Highly advise you get the donuts. I also got a custard one that the fat boy in me wants to demolish, but I may hand it to my roommate because honey... it is not on the meal plan. You understand. Only thing I can knock is I wish I'd gone during peak morning energy. I showed up in my weird late-boy window, and I feel like I missed the full ambiance--the cases packed, espresso machine hissing, people piling in, the Mechanicsburg morning hustle. I bet that version of this place is its own kind of magic. So I'm giving Dough & Joe 4 out of 5 stars. Docking one star only because I didn't get to experience the full New-York-hustle-bustle-in-a-Mechanicsburg-morning fantasy.
