I love this place. The most amazing pastries and coffee. I have loved everything I have ever gotten…read morefrom here (with the exception of the breakfast sandwiches which I think are just okay). I'm a regular customer that comes in at least once a week. So why 3 stars? Because the young ladies at the front are not welcoming or kind. It's usually the same couple of ladies and the only one that is even remotely kind is the taller one. The rest are short and abrasive. I have normally left tips of 15 and 20%, but after today's visit where I bought multiple pastries and coffees, the lady at the register was flat out rude and now I don't know that I'll keep coming in at all. It really is a shame because I love this place.

I am embarrassed for the Amish woman working there with how HORRIBLE her service was.

We come to Amish country as it is only an hour away. But we will NOT be returning to Esther's again. Very disappointed with how my family was treated.

We stopped in Esther's because of the sign mentioning sourdough pretzels. We were thinking soft…read morepretzels, but these were bags of the hard sourdough kind for snacking. The woman working, maybe Esther, had several pastries out for sale including apple fritters. She has a sign up that says to please not photograph her. So, I didn't get too many shots in here. I don't believe they had any seating options inside, but a few benches/small tables out front. A couple outside were splitting an apple fritter on the patio and I asked how it was. They said it was "very sweet". So, keep that in mind! Might go well with a black coffee.

I was in the area and this place caught my eye because of its cute, full of character exterior. The…read moreBake Shop in Ghent is tucked away and has a wonderful front and side patio/porch to sit on which really made the vibe great. I got in there about 30 minutes before closing so they were pretty cleared out of stuff and they mentioned how they stop serving lunch/sandwhiches 30 minutes before closing so just a heads up on that. The service was great and the two ladies behind the counter were friendly and helpful. It appeared that some of their refrigerated items may be bought for sale and not baked in house but all their baked goods in that case were made by them and had a large selection of baked goods from breads, biscotti, bars, tarts, cakes, and more. it also looks like they offer made to order/custom cakes so that is pretty cool! Although not pictured, we tried several macarons and they had a subtle flavor, nothing overpowering which was nice. We also tried their mini tarts in lemon and cherry, as well as their apple crumble in phyllo dough. This was interesting and I have never seen it wrapped in phyllo dough. We also tried the carrot cake which after unpacking it, I do not believe it was made in house as it was part of the other refrigerated goods. Everything was light and pretty tasty. I would give this place a try if you are in the area as it has a lot of charm and variety of goods so I am sure you can find something you will enjoy!

They have a good selection of breads including loaves, focaccias and rolls. The pastries are very nice, with croissants, danishes, cookies and scones. There is also a cooler with ready to bake quiches and pizzas. Service is nice and casual, although the service area is compact but they keep things moving. I also appreciate there is a rack with half priced day old breads. When you have really high quality bread you can still enjoy it a day later. Quite a surprise to find such a nice bread bakery in a somewhat out of the way place. If you are in the area well worth a stop to enjoy some great baked goods and stock up.

But we ordered off the menu since we didn't want to stuff ourselves with food. We did order a variety of items - it all tasted good, but not a stand out. I liked that the food was fresh compared to the buffet (though they did refresh the buffet often). Some of the dishes were so fascinating like noodles over mashed potatoes. Fried chicken was okay. We were excited for the pies but it wasn't warm. Staff was super friendly! And they do take credit cards. There is a separate area for the bakery where you can order without a wait. Large parking lot too!

During our trip through Ohio's Amish Country, we stopped by Yoder's Greenhouse in Apple Creek, and…read moreit was one of those places that instantly puts you in a good mood. The greenhouse is beautifully laid out with an incredible selection of flowers, hanging baskets, annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, shrubs, and so much more. Everywhere you look there's another burst of color, and it's obvious they take great pride in caring for their plants. Everything looked healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive once you got it home. What I really appreciated was how peaceful the greenhouse felt. There was no pressure to hurry, so we were able to take our time walking through the aisles, admiring all the different varieties, and picking out our favorites. The staff was friendly and welcoming, answering questions without ever making us feel rushed. It's the kind of customer service you hope to find at a family-owned business. Whether you're looking to add some color to your flower beds, spruce up your porch with beautiful hanging baskets, or simply enjoy browsing one of the nicest greenhouses in Amish Country, Yoder's Greenhouse is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be making another stop the next time we're in the area. If you're taking a day trip through Amish Country, be sure to add Yoder's Greenhouse to your list--you won't be disappointed!

We tried three days in a…read morerow and every time there is the same one sad tray of stale leftovers in the middle with empty racks. (And you can tell which ones are the exact same ones you saw the previous days too.) I don't know if this location gets donuts delivered every few days or what but they don't seem to be made on site. They don't answer the phone even though there's no customers inside to justify ignoring the phone by saying they're busy. The same girl every time was completely rude and gave zero information as to when they would actually have donuts in. You're the only non Amish bakery open on a Sunday as well... do better.
