They've got coffee, biscotti, whoopie pies, soft pretzels, and more. We also got the soft pretzel with mustard. Mustard was great. Pretzel? Best I've ever tasted?? Was not expecting that! Good thing it was buy one get one free! My husband and I are tasting them now and wondering at how lovely and complex the flavor is. So good! Cute, clean interior with ample seating.

The ice cream and shakes were delicious--super creamy, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. You can tell they don't cut corners here. We enjoyed everything out on their cute little patio, which adds so much charm. It's the perfect place to sit and enjoy a sweet treat, especially on a nice day. The shop is tucked into a lovely neighborhood, which just makes the whole visit feel extra special. Whether you're walking around the area or making a stop just for dessert, it's totally worth it. Definitely one of those places you'll want to come back to again.

We stopped in because we love fudge. But then I tried the brittle... oh my goodness. This stuff is…read morelegit! Best brittle I've had. I never had coconut flavored brittle before now, it was by far my favorite! Unfortunately I'm the only one in my family that likes coconut so we bought the pecan brittle... still amazingly delicious. My husband also wanted some fudge so he got the plain fudge. I'm no fudge connoisseur, but it was probably the creamiest fudge I've ever had and it was really good! Friendly and quick service. We will definitely be back when we're visiting the area again.

Fantastic bakery that opened barely a week when I went with my family in Strasburg…read more Easy to miss but right by a wine shop, this bakery is tucked away from the main street but that shouldn't stop you from visiting. Everything is made there by owner Vickiann Keene who I met along with one of her workers. Very friendly and welcoming and noticed we had stopped by the nearby donut shop. From viennoserie like danishes, muffins, scones, and cinnamon rolls, there is good selection to choose from. The scone I had was the raspberry white chocolate and was the choice when I asked for a recommendation. The scone was moist, just the right amount of crumbly you'd expect from a well-baked scone and the raspberry white chocolate flavor combination gave a light sweetness without being cloying. Same thing for the sticky bun which was amazing when warm. Not too doughy and the amount of sweetness I prefer in my viennoserie. The bakery also serves La Colombe coffee and makes other delicious items such as eclairs, cream puffs, cupcakes and dessert bars which all looked fantastic. Make a pit shop at Strasburg and try this bakery! Happy eating and remember: Don't deny, satisfy!

There was a sign on the door stating that only 4 people are allowed inside a time, social distancing must be observed, etc. There were already 2-3 people inside. A group 4 of women piled inside ahead of me and stood there talking. So I stood in the doorway, mask in hand, ready to put it on before entering, and respectfully asked if they are still limiting the number of people in the store. Bear in mind that fully vaccinated people no longer have to wear masks indoors. I was told, yes they are still limiting the number of people to 4 and can I please wear a mask. Then the girl turns to the group in front of me and said, "You can all stay." If you are going to pick and choose amongst your customers, I won't be one.

I stopped by here earlier today with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on vacation,…read morewe try to visit a new coffee shop each morning, and on this day we decided to head to the Speckled Hen since it was close by. The shop is located on East Main Street and has parking on both the side and the back. From the outside, I did not expect it to be very large, but the interior ended up being surprisingly spacious. The main area includes the ordering counter along with display cases and a Christmas tree, as it was right before the holiday. The cashier was especially nice to my kids and told us about a play area located in one of the side rooms, which we immediately headed toward. That room could seat around twenty four people and had wood floors along with black metal and dark wood chairs. The real win for us, though, was the kids play area. It was set up like a miniature version of the coffee shop, complete with play food and desserts, which kept our kids happily occupied while we enjoyed our drinks. For my coffee this morning, I went with the Gingerbread House Latte, and my wife chose the same. The coffee was very good. You got a solid coffee flavor up front, followed by a clear gingerbread note, and then it finished with a pleasant sweetness that lingered for a bit without becoming overpowering. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and while I did not eat anything myself, my wife enjoyed her berry Nutella croissant and my daughter really liked her parfait.

There is also picturesque lighting near a tree outside for taking pictures (which my family and I did).

This was Disrespectful and Disgusting taking people's money like this. THIS WAS THE WORST FAMILY DINNER EVER EXPERIENCED EVER AND ANYWHERE!!! FIRESIDE: People aren't stupid!! Take your 10 year old out of the kitchen and hire a REAL CHEF!! It took a lot of guts to serve us food that was beneath even the worst McDonald's. And to top it off this was such a disappointment for us! We had planned this get together for weeks with family joining together traveling long distances (as far as West Virginia) to meet at Fireside Tavern in Lancaster. DON'T EAT HERE! It's not what it used to be!!!

I ordered the open face roast beef with mashed potatoes with gravy and Mac and cheese-- all delicious. My significant other order the wings-- super crispy and well sauced. Our children got the hot dog and chicken fingers. For dessert we tried the apple dumpling it came out steaming hot with homemade ice cream. We frequent Lancaster but it was our first time hearing about it and experiencing it. It is completely worth any wait! All the items for decor in the restaurant are for sale which is adorably decorated.

The food was ok - personally the food was too sweet for most of us but we went for the experience. I thought it wasn't anything super different from American food. I think their home made pies are something to try - the crust and crumble on their pies are a little different from typical American style pies - may be a little more dry and crumbly??. I didn't love the crumble but I liked the pie crust, but my husband loved it all. Doesn't hurt to try once but only for the experience.

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.

This is tourist central, which is fine, but the crowds are bad. They have plenty of fun items for…read moresale but somehow the vibe is totally joyless? I haven't experienced that at other tourist traps, it's kind of odd. I'd say this is worth checking out at least once if you're in the area, but unless you want cheesy stuff it's a pass. Also I didn't really see any shoofly pies for sale (I might have missed them though).
