We stopped at Dutch Haven after lunch across the parking lot, drawn in by the windmill, which…read morestands like a beacon for travelers aong Route 30 and the mildly curious. It is the sort of landmark that promises something memorable, or at least something sweet. Inside, the place leans heavily into its role as a stop-off for visitors. Shelves are filled with faux-Amish goods, hex signs, and a cheerful assortment of bric-a-brac, along with shirts that seem very proud of nearby towns with names that invite, shall we say a certain kind of humor. It feels less like a bakery and more like a general store that wandered into a theme. The people working there are genuinely kind, and generous with samples, which is always a wise and welcome strategy. We tried a bit of the shoo fly pie, and in the past we've tried some cookies, root beer, and ice cream. They were all perfectly fine. Pleasant, even. But they did not distinguish themselves from the many other places in Lancaster County offering the same treats with equal or better competence. Nothing here is bad. In fact, it is all quite enjoyable in the moment. But it is not something I would go out of my way for again. Far less so when the tourist busses are around. It is a place you stop at because you are already there, because the windmill caught your eye, because someone offers you a sample and you say yes. Three stars, for doing what it does well enough, in a place where "well enough" is abundant.

The ladies working at this establishment are very helpful and friendly. I truly recommend their chocolate cakes and their pastries, specifically their fresh-baked croissants and cheese danishes.

I considered myself very well-behaved that I only chose four things when there was so much to pick from! The chocolate covered cc cookie dough bites were on point, in fact better than I expected. I'd have never known they were gf, which is always the goal. Well done! I also loved the cupcakes, the vegan chocolate with marshmallow frosting (vegan of course) was perfection, and I'd definitely order it again. The spice cupcake was delicious too! All three of my choices were moist and not too heavy (sometimes challenging for gf,) and my diet is very lucky I don't live local...because I would be back. Probably repeatedly. Also, they have books! More of my favorite things...

Customers may purchase these baked goods either in person or from websites. My husband likes cinnamon rolls, so I decided to order Miller's Bakery's cinnamon rolls through the GoldBelly website. The cost for 12 cinnamon rolls was $45. Miller's Bakery shipped the package on the date that I had requested, and FedEx delivered the package to my house on time. The cinnamon rolls were quick and easy to warm in the microwave. The containers contained a sufficient amount of cream-cheese icing. My husband and I thought that the cinnamon rolls were very fresh and that they contained a good amount of cinnamon. We enjoyed the sweetness of the cream-cheese icing. Call us crazy, but our favorite cinnamon rolls are from Cinnabon, so we compared the flavors to that competing brand. If I visit the Lancaster area in the future, I will be interested in trying more baked goods from this bakery.

Gentle readers, here is one of those times when I debate... should I tell my amazing Yelp community…read moreabout this place or should I selfishly keep this place to myself? Alas, my better nature wins out. This is a booth in the historic Lancaster Central Market, which is well over 100 years old. It can be crowded so plan ahead if you visit for that. There are many merchants, including others who sell baked goods. I stopped at this booth because it was very well lit, and when I got there the person working there was polite and friendly. Now, to the good stuff: These cupcakes are very, very good and their decoration is second to none. We got the Apple Pie Cupcake, which has icing that looks like a pie with a woven top but is NOT FONDANT. That means it's delicious, and, fortunately, not overly sweet. The cupcake itself was spiced apple and was light and airy and yum. We also got a gorgeous rose cupcake, again, no fondant, a fun turkey cupcake and a peanut butter & chocolate cupcake because Lion loves them. Lastly, I got the most gorgeous decorated sugar cookie. It seriously was almost too beautiful to eat. When I did, the cookie was light and crumbly and delicious. Would I go again? Heck, yeah! I have learned that I can order online in advance and pick up at the market so I will be doing this, and some of the cupcakes may make it all the way back to Philly. Or not. Depends.
