    Glad we added this breakfast stop to our visit. The place is very small inside, but luckily they have some tables outside on their side deck, which is where we sat. We got two sandwiches and they were both tasty, especially the Diablo. Not to take anything away from the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel, which, too, was excellent. But that sauce on the Diablo took it over the top. My only disappointment was the whoopie what donut, which I found to be a little greasy and heavy. The other donuts were fine. Definitely worth a visit.

    Another great stop at the Mad Bakers. Get there early many items sell out quick! Fast, friendly service. If you are in northeastern PA, plan to stop here.

    Excellent food and they made a special request for my 6 year old. Very friendly and definitely worth frequenting if you are in the area.

    Coconut donut. Yum!

    Great bakery with donuts, breakfast sandwiches, etc. We did wait along time for our breakfast at 9:30 on a Saturday, so be ready to hang out a while.Grab some coffee and enjoy. Sandwich was worth the wait.

    Love the cheese combination and tater tot toppers.

    Great place to stop in the area. Small seating but worth the wait. The sandwiches are awesome. They know their cheese! We got the AM BLT on rye and an everything bagel with egg, ham and cheese. Highly recommend and get here early for the donut selection.

    Best breakfast In 1000 miles! Get the Totally mad sandwich with jalapeño cream cheese, it's a lot of food but I finish it every time! Amazing customer service!

    Every breakfast and lunch sandwich is better with fresh bread and donuts baked everyday! The gourmet Italian coffee adds another few points to the overall goodness of this little bakery. It's difficult to not enjoy a visit to this place when the owners and staff welcome customers w/great service and perfect smiles.

    Buy 5 doughnuts, get 1 free! And they taste amazing!

    Small bakery in Dushore, PA featuring homemade doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, flavored iced coffees, and smoothies. What a wonderful place run by the nicest women! Everything is fresh and tastes excellent! The breakfast sandwiches are made on bagels with thick, crispy bacon (or ham or sausage), egg, and cheese. At least 20 different varieties of doughnuts that were made early that morning. Be prepared for the nicest people working there and lots of decisions to make!

    PB fix

    I come to Dushore to vacation with my extended family, and stopping here has become an annual tradition. I'm really just rating the donuts, since that's all we get. Great texture and dough; that's probably the strength of these donuts. The PB fix is my favorite (PB cream filling, chocolate icing with Reese's chunks on top), though the peanut butter cream filling could be sweeter. Nothing too crazy on the flavors front, though they did have a cotton candy and chocolate with cayenne pepper when we were there, which are cool ideas, just not ones I'm into. Pretty solid cake donuts, though I think their yeast are better. Great spot in this area!

    Amazing donuts, bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and smoothies.

I've spent a ton of time in serious coffee shops from Shanghai to New York with Q graders and baristas with bonafides. Alabaster can stand up to the best of them. The coffees we tried were fantastic. The Rwandan was delicious and the roast complimented the natural expression of the beans. My dad got the Ugandan which was awesome as well. I grabbed a bag of the Salvadoran beans to take home, and it brews up an amazingly clean and interesting cup (I used a V60). One of the better cafes I've visited in the U.S. with a roaster that knows what they're doing. On top of all that, the tahini date banana bread we tried was seriously good and wasn't a premade, mass produced baked good like so many cafes have resorted to in recent years. On top of that, the cafe was beautiful with reclaimed wood tables. We were traveling with our dog and they allowed her in because she was well-behaved. Nice people, awesome cafe, world-class coffee, and seriously good pastries. Keep up the incredible work! I will be back to Williamsport for more.

    Being a very long time resident of the Valley, I've seen many eateries come and go. Vanilla Bean…read moreCafe is one that should go. It took a while for me to get up the courage to try it, even though there was an overwhelming chance I would be dissatisfied. I wasn't disappointed. It is a "Foo Foo" place in the truest sense of the term. In the 45 minutes I sat there in a booth, not one other male showed their face. I was near enough to the ordering counter to hear what the women were ordering - Lattes, pastries, Artisan soup and sandwiches, Artisan wraps, were the most popular selections. Clever marketing. Tack on the word ARTISAN on the menu and they charge double the true value. There were only 4 booths, but one was open, but the table top had not been cleaned. I had to interrupt the owner playing with his cell phone to do his job. Then I had to wipe down the top because he left it all wet. As for my lunch, I had their TBA for $14. It turned out to be 2 oz of turkey with two thin strips of bacon & a miserly piece of avocado with mayo on toasted bread (not really a panini). Still wondering where the mozzarella was. To add value the owner gives you a $0.50 bag of chips with the sandwich. The mayo was excellent! While tasty I was expecting it to be on a roll as the menu described. Bummer. (When I was leaving the order counter woman offered no apology for the mistake.) I ate slowly to immerse myself in the experience. Just an FYI - Panera Bread, which is known for its high prices, charges less than $14 for this same sandwich plus a bag of chips. Theirs is a triple decker. By comparison my sandwich looked like it was prepared by a free soup kitchen on a strict budget. Check the Panera site. https://www.panerabread.com/content/panerabread_com/en-us/menu/products/grilled-chicken-and-avo-blt.html My sandwich looked like a squashed grilled cheese sandwich. An even better deal than Panera, last month I went down the road (1 mile) to THE GRILLE, Their TB Club, is a triple decker fully dressed and served with a generous portion of fries and homemade pickles for $17. I remembered that I struggled to handle that handheld beast. It was a manly feast. I wound up taking half home to relish the next day for my lunch. Reeses in Waverly offers a triple decker too with fries and slaw for $13. The grand finale is that in addition to the unreal pricing, the owner adds 3% to the bill for credit cards. Really? He needs the extra $0.50 that badly. $16 without tip. Oh, I forgot to mention. You order at the counter, pay upfront, you seat yourself after trying to find a clean table, wipe down the table yourself, and a kitchen employee delivers the prepared sandwich. No followup by any employee to see if everything is Okay. It turned out to be a smart move not to leave a tip at the time of ordering. DON'T! Maybe if you are tight for time you might consider the Vanilla Bean. Please note that it is too small to be considered "intimate." If you are looking to satisfy a true hunger at a great price go to the Grille. Thank God for Guthrie, who I think provides most of Vanilla Bean's customers. OH, I ALMOST FORGOT: HEY VANILLA BEAN ! - UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE WITH AN UPDATED MENU AND USE THE CORRECT PRICING.

    I am a chef and generally do not complain too much about food or service unless it is glaringly…read moreobvious that it is bad. Such was the case when I visited the newly opened Curry Donuts in the 220 shopping plaza. I realize that it is new and am writing this in hopes of having a better experience in the future. The order was simple: A dozen doughnuts and a small coffee. I have eaten at several other Curry Donuts' in the past and was always satisfied with both service and quality of food. Lets start with the Donuts. It is a small town donut shop, but the selection was poor at best. The selection that existed lacked the staples that I expect to see in any run of the mill doughnut joint. Glazed. Cream filled. Bavarian Cream. Chocolate dipped. Not to mention old favorites that keep me going back to Curry Donuts like Apple Fritters and Boston Crème. There was not a Krueller to be seen. So we pieced together a dozen of what was available. A couple chocolate cake doughnuts, Strawberry and Blueberry filled and some other miscellaneous pastries to be on our way. All that was left was the coffee. In my opinion a Curry Donut Coffee surpasses even famed rivals Dunkin' Donuts' ever popular dark brew. I took a sip. Ice Cold and Old. That ruined it for me before ever getting a pastry anywhere near my mouth. When I got home I found scrawny, missha pen Doughnuts. Most were dry and stale. A "Cinnamon Swirl" that tasted like it was made without sugar with ablolutely NO glaze on it. The usual Elliptical, pillowy concoctions I am used to were replaced by spherical (no kidding, some of them were actually shaped like baseballs!). I feel that pretty much sums up my experience. The service was barely attentive and disinterested, but not "bad" per se. I hope that my next visit brings a more pleasurable experience, as I look forward to getting a good, quality cup of Joe and a couple of my favorite doughnuts in the morning, rather than gas station fare.
