Everything in the sweet department is verrrrry sweet. The menu changes daily so only the regular cupcake flavors are listed online. So knowing that, choose wisely. The cupcakes have some seriously sweet icing that is almost taller than the cake. We tasted the caramel one and the chocolate one. The coconut scone and chocolate chip scone were very sweet and not scone like but tasty. The almond cranberry muffin was more of a cupcake and was replete with dried sweetened cranberries. All of these items were well executed just very sweet. So now that you know, don't order a sweet drink. Get a nice robust cup of coffee and enjoy the sweetness

Oh man, where to start - I love this place!! I've not been to the nursery section, cause I have a…read moreton of plants already, but the farmer's market has everything and then, some. *Note: freshly made sandwiches are Outstanding and inexpensive. If you're going on a picnic or are out and about and want some good, quick grub; this is your place. My hubby got a cold cut, packed with fresh veg, meat, cheese; a half was enough to fill his tummy for the rest of the day. In the center of the store (it's kinda cramped - I advise going on a week day), there are watermelons (yellow/red), peaches, plums, strawberries, corn on the cob and to your immediate left, popcorn/snacks, followed by a frozen section (mashed potatoes, pot pies, casseroles, soups, creamed chipped beef, gravy...), follow that around to a refrigerated section (salads, pickles, puddings, sandwiches...), then there's the grill (hot/cold sandwiches, hotdogs, chips); I forgot about the cookies, shoo fly pies and there's a deli - SEE; this is why you absolutely must make this a stop by. There are tables outside, plenty of room to stretch, relax and eat.

We went to Lapp Valley farm for the most creamy and delicious ice cream…read more Very short distance from it is the village farm market. It is a beautiful farm filled with trees, plants, succulents... anything you need for your flower/plant needs. But it is a secret gem that hides the most amazing sandwich shop in the area. It is filled with fresh bread, baked goods and most amazing pies, fresh fruit and vegetables. But all of it hides this amazing sandwich shop that has one of the best Philly Cheese Steaks. It is gooey with melted cheese and if you ask for chopped hot peppers... you can get the perfect blend of banana peppers and jalapeño peppers to get the kick! You don't want to miss this store if you are in the area! We stayed in a nearby Airbnb tiny home. You can't beat the kind attentive service and the care by which they make every sandwich. Everything is so fresh and well made! No indoor seating... so be ready for the heat if you plan to eat here.

Oregon Dairy is magical. This quaint market has a lot of homemade ready to go foods. They have…read morefoods in bulk and a lot of pickled foods. The deli is really good and they are so helpful. It has a store, a gift shop, a restaurant, an ice cream shop with a deck next to a nice playground as well as some animals outside to see up close. The service is wonderful in all places. I'm really lucky to live near it. Get a picture of your kids sitting on the fake cow. They love it. My niece still calls it magical and she is 27. She went there all her life for an ice cream and a picture of her on the cow and to play on the playground and the cattle shoot. Find the Fluffy Butt Hutt near the eggs and look for the railroad track above the market registers.

In the former long time location of the Akron Shoprite is a new doughnut shop. There is another…read moreLancaster location and foodtrucks. Upon entering is a wall of large, multi filled donuts of a number of varieties. Tiramisu I'm told is a popular one. I bought a dozen and the cost was $29. A purchase of a doz gets you a token for a free donut. A similar dozen at Giant Food Store that morning was $11. So are these worth 3 times the price? Depends. They are larger, there are more varieties and they are superfresh. They have a coffee bar and more than a few Gluten free options. The seating area is warm and inviting with a nice fireplace on the chilly day I visited. There is a small meeting room for an office to gather over coffee and donuts. I am a tea drinker and they do offer hot tea. I would love to see iced tea and flavored teas offered. Now what they need to come up with is some kind of breakfast or lunch option, a sandwich or croissant or a wrap. If you want me to come in and sit down for awhile I need more than a donut. We were looking for a place to eat that day and would have loved to stay if they offered anything like a sandwich. Dunkin Donuts offers quite few options. I'm not looking for that. Just something that works with their vibe and lets me grab a bite for lunch. The donuts themselves are super sweet, a bit messy (the creme leaks out) and big. You know how you slurp down a Krispy Kreme donut in 2 bites? This is not that. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The aesthetic is clean, nicely appointed. Some Akron locals told me they have embraced this venue. I'm sure they did their due diligence in opening a location here that is off the main drag. Loads of parking, easy in and out. They could easily get 5 stars by adding to the menu just a bit. But today, 4 stars from me.

This place is unassuming from the outside, but pretty cute and cozy on the inside! I visited on a…read moreFriday morning and saw several people chatting with friends over coffee and donuts in the seating area. The floor to ceiling windows let in a lot of light and create a comfortable space to enjoy the food. The employees working were friendly and quick. They worked through a line of 3 people within a minute or two. I ordered two donuts at $2.80 each and one gluten free ($4) for a friend. I definitely think the prices are high compared to other similar donuts in the area. The quality was good, though. I loved the chocolate icing and the donut dough was fresh. My friend said the gluten free donut was a little dense, but I think that's par for the course with gluten free baked goods.

If I had to pick a "comfort spot" in Lancaster County, Zig's would win every time. This place is…read moreone of my favorite lunch stops, the kind where you walk in already knowing exactly what you're ordering because it never misses. I get the tuna melt every single time, and listen... their tuna is unreal. Perfectly seasoned, not too mayo-heavy, toasted just right it's basically my emotional support lunch at this point. I also never skip the seasonal drink special. Today's was the apple chai-der and it was so cozy and delicious. Their drink specials always feel like you're sipping the current season through a mug. Zig's also has an entire cooler/freezer wall packed with soups, applesauce, and grab-and-go meals. My all-time favorite soup is the Tomato Pepper Jack absolutely phenomenal. If you see it, grab two. Trust me. The bakery case? Dangerous. Cupcakes, pies, whoopie pies, parfaits... it's basically dessert heaven behind glass. And then there's my holy grail: the Buffalo Cauliflower. It's a rare find, and when I spot it I buy it in full apocalypse-prep quantities. No regrets. Between the rustic vibe, great coffee, incredible baked goods, and comfort-food lunches, Zig's is one of those places you keep coming back to because it just feels good and tastes even better. Highly recommend!

My husband ate almost the entire shepherds pie by himself...he was hungry and it's good. I just finished eating a chocolate mint cupcake that was so tasty. Their chocolate croissants are fabulous as well. Service was friendly and speedy yesterday. I was there at 4pm so I have found they are less busy at that time of day when I want to buy things to take home. If I lived closer to Zig's I would probably be there more often, but as it is, I am still thankful it's only a 30 minute drive from my home.
