Stopped by Donut World in Lancaster and this is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when…read moreyou're craving donuts. Nothing fancy, no gimmicks--just a classic donut shop that focuses on doing things right. We ended up going with a nice mix: two glazed donuts, two blueberry cake donuts, a long john, and a half dozen donut holes. Everything was fresh, soft, and had that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. The glazed donuts were light and classic, the blueberry cake had a great flavor without being too heavy, and the long john was filled just right. Even the donut holes were hard to stop eating. You can tell these are made with care, not mass-produced. It all tasted like it was made that morning. What I really liked is how simple and straightforward it is. Walk in, pick what you want, and you're out the door with something that just hits the spot. Service was friendly and quick, and the whole place has that old-school neighborhood vibe that's getting harder to find. Overall, if you're in Lancaster and want a solid donut--this is your spot. Brian's Tip: Go early. The best selection goes fast, and once people know about this place, those trays don't stay full for long.

If you want something fast, causal and healthy that doesn't taste like a compromise, this is the spot. Everything is very fresh, & the baked chicken is consistent & delicious. The portions are HUGE.. honestly puts Chipotle to shame, with fresher ingredients. My Power Bowl is easily 2 meals. The menu can feel overwhelming the first time, but the staff is super helpful and actually cares. I always leave feeling taken care of, which is rare these days. You can tell they love their jobs & customers. The whole interior matches that vibe too. It's fun, colorful, comfortable, and friendly. Only suggestion: I'd love a smaller bowl option... but also not complaining because the leftovers are a part of my lifestyle now.

I assume I was speaking to the manager, who told me they don't "do" top and bottom blizzard cakes. I asked why not--I've ordered them for years. She replied that is wasn't possible and no one could do them. She told me that they had never done them (despite mine having ordered them from this location before). I was told my memory was false. She told me not to bother calling the East Main location because they wouldn't do them either. I hung up and placed my order at another DQ. To prove that DQ cakes ARE possible, I'm including pictures from the double Blizzard cake I received from the other DQ.

Treehouse Treats and Treasures is a quaint little shop that we stopped into after spending some…read moretime browsing the antique and consignment shops nearby. We originally went in for ice cream, but discovered they also had books and souvenirs. My wife found a book she wanted, and I picked up a few souvenirs for my children. We actually made three separate purchases at the same counter -- first the souvenirs, then my wife's book, and finally two ice cream cones. I took receipts for the first two purchases, but unfortunately declined one for the ice cream. I really wish I hadn't. After we left, I realized we had been charged $23 for two double-scoop ice cream cones. The ice cream itself was very good, but the amount we were charged simply did not seem to match the prices posted where the ice cream was being served. Based on what I remember seeing on the menu, it appeared we were significantly overcharged. Without the receipt, I can't say exactly what happened or whether it was simply an innocent mistake, and I wish I had noticed the amount while we were still there so I could have asked about it. But it bothered me enough that I was still thinking about it several hours later. It's unfortunate because otherwise this was a charming little shop with some fun things to browse, and we enjoyed the ice cream. But paying $23 for two relatively ordinary double-scoop cones left a disappointing impression and took away from what otherwise would have been a very pleasant stop.

I got the Supreme to go and it held up 7 hours later for dinner. Roasted beef, fresh mozzarella, and onions with optional bacon added. Bread was soft but again, not mush. My dining companion got the Hot One ie pepperoni, hot cappicola, provolone, Tabasco, deli dressing with added banana peppers. He thanked me for doing some homework and finding this place on our way through Circleville coming from an event at Deer Creek State Park.
