    Cinnamon & Sugar Donut
    Honest R.

    I know this is a popular place, so I stopped by while in town. I usually like all donuts, but unfortunately I was not a fan of their cinnamon and sugar donut. It was very dry, I came later in the day around 11 AM, so maybe that's why? Seems like a great place I will have to get it another try. Fast service and nice customer service. Good vibes.

    If you have a craving for Donuts or Danishes, this place is a must! All items are baked in the shop freshly. Although there's not a dining area, most customers get take outs. Besides the baked goods, breakfast sandwiches are also available. You may want to try out their Creme Brulee donut. We have not seen this made elsewhere. We can confirm that it is as good as it sounds.

    We took our food home and ate. I forgot to mention their garlic fries are so dag gone delicious too.

    My husband and I are in town celebrating our anniversary and we have eaten here twice already. Their baked goods are delicious and their food is unbelievable!!! Their service is friendly and fast and we've tried a couple things, they're all delicious. I think the cordon chicken schnitzel was my favorite. Anybody would be out of their mind to pass this up if they have the chance to eat here. We wish we could take them back to Gettysburg Pennsylvania with us!

    We arrived shortly after they opened at 7, they only had 2 types of donuts ready and said they'd have more by 8am. We bought the donuts they had and tried them, they were very oily and artificial tasting. Maybe we caught them on an off morning but it was disappointing to hear they don't have more than 2 options until an hour after opening. We are usually huge donut lovers but we didn't finish them, super bummed! If you go, maybe try going later in the morning :)

    Best breakfast sandwich ever. We went looking for coffee and found this gem tucked away. Worth a stop.

    Probably the best croissant I've ever had both butter and chocolate. Schnitzel sandwiches are incredible.

    Debra was absolutely wonderful to work with! Since I was planning our wedding from out of state, I…read moreespecially appreciated how easy, accommodating, and communicative she was throughout the entire process. She made everything feel simple and stress-free. I needed a gluten-free wedding cake, and Debra absolutely DELIVERED! The cake was not only beautiful, but incredibly delicious. So many of our guests commented on how amazing it was and said they never would have guessed it was gluten-free. That was especially important to me, and I was so grateful that I didn't have to sacrifice taste in order to have a cake I could safely enjoy on my wedding day. Our cake was such a hit that we actually couldn't resist eating the slices we had saved for our first anniversary! So, naturally, we are planning to return next year and order another cake just so we can enjoy it again. We are so grateful to Debra for making our wedding cake experience so easy, delicious, and memorable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, accommodating, and wonderful cake vendor!

    I am so disappointed in the cupcakes that were done for my wedding…read more My friend was going to make the cup cakes and decorate them, however her father passed away and she was unable to do. We had to rush to find a place to make cupcakes and we found icings on the cake. It was two weeks prior to my wedding and I was worried I wouldn't find a place. I was so thrilled that icings on the cake said they could do the 4 dozen cupcakes and when asked if they could do sunflowers I was told yes. Especially seeing the cupcakes on the website icingsonthecakes.com (picture 3). What I got was so dissapointing. (Picture 1) which looks does not look like a professional did Thankfully I had friends who went out and fixed (picture 2). After spending over $200 dollars on cupcakes they should not have been fixed. I emailed the owner and did not receive a response back in 24 hours.
