They serve mostly sweets, but they do have a couple savory options, like quiche and croissants as well. I definitely would have appreciated some more savory options. The inside is also very charming, and the service is excellent, but it's just a bit cramped to really enjoy dining in. We sat next to a very loud table with a loud child, and I felt there wasn't much space to get away from them. We ordered the vanilla custard tart with raspberries, which was excellent. We also ordered a strawberry macaron, which I also really enjoyed. My husband ordered a coffee, which was good, but just a bit small. Overall I did really enjoy my experience here but I do wish there were a few more menu options!

We were nearby so decided to explore Chester's "Main Street" while in the area. Parked the car and…read morewalked around. This was the last stop as we needed a sweet treat. This looks like a good old fashioned ice cream parlor so the name is certainly fitting. Maybe 3 tables with chairs inside and a few more outside. They sell a lot of flavors of ice cream from unicorn (berry ice cream based!) to seasonal flavors like apple pie. They also have sundaes, milkshakes, soft serves, ice cream cookies sandwiches, and maybe even more that I completely missed. Oh yes! And a vegan selection which was a pleasant surprise for my sister who is vegan. We ended up getting: Cookies and Cream (1 scoop) in a wafer cone - this was for one of my kids. A classic flavor and it was full of cookie chunks. Also, I just add that "one scoop" was HUGE and could have easily been 2 scoops. My kid wanted whipped cream on top and the server said it would be too high and we got a small cup full of whipped cream on the side. Soft serve (vanilla) in a cup - got this for my kid with the food allergies. Soft serve tends to be safe as long as you're not allergic to milk. He originally wanted a twist, but they only had soft serve at the time. He liked it fine and ate half (it's quite a lot of it for a 4 year old). Cookie Butter (1 scoop) in a cup [vegan] - my vegan sister got this to share with her husband. It's actually not listed on the board but the flavor she wanted was out (something about raspberry chocolate chunk). They said it was good but it did have a more crumbly texture and they said there was the flavor of banana in it. I wonder what the base is for their vegan ice cream! I didn't get anything for myself because I ended up eating half of the cookies and cream and finishing the soft serve. If I did? I'd probably try a seasonal flavor in a waffle cone. With the exceptional service and great value and taste of the ice cream, this is definitely the place to go if you're nearby. I'd definitely go again if I had the chance. And if you're vegan, you have a decent amount of fun flavors to choose from! They don't have public restrooms and there's only street parking, but it's free.

The place is nicely decorated with college banners which I assume is from all the kids that have worked there over the years. I got a pralines and cream cone and my wife had a cup of mint. Ice cream was very good! There's a couple of tables inside, but we ate on one of the benches outside. Chester is a very cool town and it's just fun to relax in this small town atmosphere.

They probably have around 20-30 flavors of biscotti at any given time, and most of the flavors have a "soft" version too if you're not a fan of the typical biscotti crunch. The people running the shop will gladly let you sample various flavors (and they're generous with the sample sizes too!) On top of that, there's a samples jar near the front of the shop that has samples of a bunch of flavors all mixed into one big jar. If you're feeling adventurous you can try whatever you can grab!

I took my kids and visiting family here on a Thursday when the kids had no school. I hear it can…read moreget crowded on the weekends, but on Thursday when we arrived a little before noon, it wasn't bad. They had a steady stream of newcomers but not too crowded. It was fairly easy to find though going there, my map told me to go down a treacherous gravel road which I wasn't terribly fond of. They have a moderately sized parking lot and you'll see this large, red barn. That's where you get your goodies (there's often a line) and where their store is. We stopped by for a treat first. They sell ice cream, cider floats, and what is a "TikTok famous" coffee float with donut. We got: Cider ($4) - I didn't actually drink this. I got it for my kid with food allergies. He wanted ice cream but they do not know if the ice cream they use contains eggs or not so we played it safe. My kid thought it was okay but finally finished it later. He typically prefers regular apple juice. Cider float with donut - you have a choice of no donut for $2 less. It's like a root beer float but with cider instead of root beer, black and orange sprinkles around the time of the cup, whipped cream, and a powdered cider donut over it all. I shared this with my daughter. That donut was delicious! Warm, tender, and crisp on the outside. The drink was great! I do wish it came with a spoon because it got difficult finishing the last of it. Warning: if you have one of these, the bees are coming for you. They use some sort of caramel-like sauce to get the sprinkles to stick. Overall, quite good. Maple cider donut ($3): my sister got this and she said it was amazing, but she said she thought $3 was a bit much (the unglazed donuts are $1.25 each). She's vegan, so didn't partake in the float, but she also wasn't going to ask if there's milk in the donut. If you're getting only donuts, they are purchased in the store. They have tables and chairs nearby for you to picnic and enjoy your treats. Going through the gates, there was a table but they were busy with other people so we walked right in. There is no entrance fee, which was nice. You go through the apple orchard first. It seems like most of the apples have been picked through, though there are a lot of developing apples. Some of the nicer ones were way too tall for us; they don't provide ladders. We only managed to find one that looked nice. At the end, there used to be a sunflower field and the corn maze. It's epic but you don't know how formidable until you're past the point of return and realize it's not a kids maze. We were in there for a while! Even met other kids that thought they'd be lost forever. The corn stalks are taller than a human and they're pretty dense so you can't look over or through them. It's a true maze and I was impressed. I wish they would provide a paper maze puzzle of the corn maze because I'm so curious how it is from above. Lots of dead ends. What I can say is don't lose hope. You'll get there! (When we finally found the exit, it was almost like a dream because we had been staring at corn for so long.) In hindsight, it was good we ate something first. Once done, we explored the sunflowers and saw the pumpkin patch. As we headed out, we went to pay for our lone apple and we discovered THE CORN MAZE IS NOT FREE. It's $10 per adult and $5 per kid. They charged us $1 for the single apple. I guess they work on the honor system? I didn't mind much because that maze clearly took planning. Before we left, we visited the store full of baked goodies. I got a few cider donuts, a dumpling, and a piece of crumb cake because they just brought out a fresh tray. Plus a lattice harvest pie. The pies with crumble aren't vegan, but the lattice pies are made of vegetable shortening. Restrooms! They have a row of port-a-potties by the parking lot. They're actually the cleanest ones I've been to before. No sinks but they do have a dispenser of antibacterial hand gel. The openings are a bit large so if your kid needs to use the toilets, hold onto them. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I definitely think everyone should go through a corn maze of this caliber at least once in their life. The apple pickings were sparse but at least you get delicious floats and donuts! Note: they have gluten free goodies in the store but they are nut based (almond flour). They also had one gluten free-vegan item.

There wasnt any pumpkin left in the field to pick and the apples were not event there on the trees. I would definitely have to say hand down to the cute little store - there was a bakery side and oh my gosh the donuts , the cookies and the Tik Tok famous drink was out of this world. So the 2 hour trip was definitely worth the drive. The service was okay the individuals behind the counter to order the Tik Tok drink had a bit of a attitude when I was asking about questions. Just stay patient. Other then that I would highly recommend coming here and trying a piece of all of there different donuts and cookies are soo soo good. They even had a pumpkin cider donut which I never had before. Don't forget to stop by and check them out.

The amaretto iced coffee is smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to drink, and the chocolate chip scone understood the assignment, buttery, loaded with chips, and gone way too fast. Inside, you've got shelves stacked with coffee jars like a caffeine apothecary, burlap coffee sacks casually flexing their single-origin credentials, and just enough cozy chaos to remind you this place is serious about beans. Outside, there's a festive little setup with lights, a giant present looking entrance (Santa clearly approves), and a tiny free library because caffeine and books are a power combo. Bonus points for enjoying the coffee from the car like a true commuter philosopher. Is this the kind of coffee that'll change your life? No. Is it the kind that makes your morning better and your drive more tolerable? Absolutely. The two baristas are elite: no small talk, no life stories, just order pour go. Morning efficiency at its finest. Bonus points for Spanish speakers, because coffee sounds better en español. Rápido, directo, sin vueltas
