We liked the food. But I feel compelled to write a review based on the horrible service we received from someone we determined to be a manager. We were a party of 9 and called a month in advance to get reservations for a weekday morning as we were celebrating a Muslim holiday together as a family. We had 4 children with us, 2,3,6 and 8. They separated us and sat us at two different tables that were 4-5 feet apart from eachother. The entire patio was empty and they made no effort to move any tables together or seat us at smaller tables that were closer together, or inside. Again, Most of the restaurant was empty and we had reservations where they assured me we would be accommodated. We sat down and got menus. And I asked how we were supposed to help my toddlers eat, etc. the manager came over and told me we were welcome to leave. Omg. My family stayed and politely ate our food and left. So here is the impression we had. We felt discriminated against because of how we looked, how we dressed, and how different we were. There are so many lovely places to eat in the Lancaster area so I encourage you to spend your money at an establishment where the discrimination isn't as blatant. read more

This cute place seems to be a centerpiece in the quaint little town of Lititz. It's rather small, so you typically will see a bit of a waiting line out front, and the clientele widely vary from obvious tourists to peaceful townfolk to rather overt gays. The inside is quite charming, like you have stepped into the old world back in the 1800s. The waitstaff were super-friendly while my party and I were there; and the food was delicious. The menu is huge, but you must take into consideration that both breakfast and lunch/dinner are covered in it; the selection of lunch/dinner is rather modest. This is an impressive place that you should check out. read more

Bit hesitant to wait for an opening today, but we waited and the staff gave us a beautiful window table. The food was worth the wait.The tomato pie was excellent, can't give it enough praise, and the chia pudding was also very good.

We needed a quick breakfast and found the best. The Tomato Pie Flipper was the BEST omelette I have ever eaten. Also, the French toast was superb! Definitely a place at which to eat when we are in Lititz! read more

SO many wonderful, delicious food choices, exceptional coffee and customer service and friendliness EVERY time I go.

Very short review. On a detour from the Interstate, we were looking for a breafast place with solid reviews. This place was at the top of the list, and it did not disappoint! The place was packed (midday, Summer, Saturday). The downtown area was bustling with locals and tourists. Streets were crawling with traffic. Parking was scarce. We opted for carryout instead of eating in because of the wait for a table. The food was delicious! We tried the black bean flipper, the chai pudding bowl, and the tomato pie. The tomato pie was fantastic. (& no mistskes were made on our carryout order, btw!) We will be back. Well worth the detour! read more

Our experience with a cute, straw hat waitress was absolutely horrible. She took approximately 10 minutes to ask what we wanted to drink once seated. We requested coffee and water. She brought the water first and another 10 minutes for the coffee. She then took our order and that was the last time we saw her. A young man brought us our food, which was half wrong. Never again we're we even given a coffee refill and had to request our check after about 20 minutes. I realize these are trying times with lack of staff but no coffee refill? Not a good experience at all read more

What an amazing gem to find! We stopped briefly in Lititz for Wilbur's chocolates and popped across the street for a snack, discovered patio seating out back and had a spectacularly lovely meal! We started with watermelon and serrano soup and then I had grilled peaches on arugula salad with goat cheese and peach pie for dessert. Wonderful staff and location on a beautiful day. The child's grilled cheese sandwich my friend's daughter enjoyed was made with very colorful bread! Fun place and a delightful visit. We will be back. read more

We stopped in for lunch. The atmosphire is very nice..not a big menu and not to expensive. Seated right away but we waited almost an hour for our food. Food wasn't a disappointment. I got a mini tomato pie and a meatball sandwich made with chicken and feta cheese. Being from NY, i was surprised by the tomato pie. This was like a tomato pot pie not a pizza. It was very good. The meatball panini was also very good. My daughter got the curry chicken salad. Also very good. Curry flavor wasnt overwelming. I would recommend it when visiting Lititz,Pa but expect a wait for your food. read more

Had the tomato pie and meatball parm panini!!! Go there and CRUSH an awesome lunch like I did!!!

This place easily earned 5-stars! The food is delicious and absolutely wonderful! I decided to be adventurous and order the Smoked Salmon Benedict. It was egg, smoked salmon, arugula & tomato on a Parmesan grit cake & topped with mornay sauce and pumpernickel toast! O-M-G it was amazing! I doubted any breakfast could be better until I had a few bites of the Tomato Pie!!! Best breakfast/tomato pie hands down. The Spiced Pumpkin Latte didn't disappoint either! We were seated upstairs and it was so quaint. Yet the menu had a real urban feel. I loved it. The service was great and the servers had real cool style. We plan on coming back on our next trip to Lancaster and probably every trip to Lancaster until the end of time. Yes, it's that good! read more

The Tomato Pie Cafe is among of the top MUST SEE attractions in Lititz. Its a snazzy little cafe with sharply dress staff, a captivating menu and a killer signature dish of Tomato Pie. If you haven't tried it do, and if you don't like tomatoes just order something else instead. Its all good. I love everything about this place. The location; just outside of Lititz Spring park, making it a perfect pit stop while you're out enjoying the weather. The atmosphere; bubbly staff and cozy seating arrangements. Not to mention the fabulous outdoor seating area where you are surrounded by the tomato plants they turn into pies. The menu is vast and never displeasing. There are always new drinks to try including hot teas, iced teas, coffee blends, and my personal favorite: Hot Caramel Apple Cider! A fall favorite. My only complaint is that they do not sell whole pies to go. Nevertheless I now make my own, but I still come back and order theirs. Bottom line: EAT HERE! read more

I'm surprised by some of the more recent reviews; when I visited on New Year's Eve for lunch, I had not only impeccable service but delicious food. Lititz is such a cool, quaint town, and Tomato Pie Café is exactly what you'd want in a community meet up spot. When we arrived, it was right around noon and the place was bustling. Luckily, the lunch counter was open and we were able to grab seats right away. Our server arrived quickly, and we ordered tomato pie (what else!) plus a hummus platter because we were starved. Despite being packed, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the plates were actually larger than I expected. The pie was amazing, and that's coming from a Southerner who grew up with the recipe as a staple. It was also served with fresh greens and a savory herb scone, which paired nicely with the lemon and white balsamic olive oil they had sitting on the lunch counter. All in all, delicious! I want more as I'm writing this. The hummus was also great, drizzled with a high-quality olive oil and served with the most amazing naan bread (also roasted red peppers, kalamatas, and artichoke hearts). It was probably unnecessary to order this as well as the tomato pie, but I'm totally glad we did in order to try it. Overall, a must-visit café that certainly beats others in the area! read more

I love this place. perfect breakfast or lunch while in lititz. but *boo it's closed on sundays (as is most of lititz... those are the days to go to the chocolate cafe on main street.) Not a huge tomato fan, their namesake dish is AWESOME!! it's like a cheesy lasagna w/out the pasta... but it's surprisingly light and cheesy without being heavy! And their coffee drinks?!?! Omg amazing again! with dessert! They have awesome desserts. I especially like their rasberry bar, or pecan pie or shoofly pie. Place is very charming. very yummy, and i like it way better than the hbg location. :o)) read more

My wife and I can't give this place enough stars. The food was outrageously perfect. Nice quaint place with great atmosphere and super friendly staff. We both had the Tomato pie which is not a pizza. It's a pie with nice delicious chunks of tomato and this kind of light fluffy cheese on top all baked in a pie crust and served with either greens or chips. The desert selection was fantastic and tasted even better than it looked. We had Pecan pie and Red Velvet Cupcakes. Don't hesitate to visit by this restaurant. There is even patio seating in what I call the Tomato Garden. This is a must experience place. read more

This was one of the worst brunch experiences I've ever had. The food took over half an hour to come out, and the server told us that our food would be ready in "a couple of minutes" only to not show up with the food for another 15 minutes. We ordered the special pumpkin pancakes. When served they were lukewarm, and were missing the glazed walnuts. The server reheated them, but gave us a little attitude. Bites of the pancakes were very inconsistent, like the batter wasn't mixed enough...some tasted like egg, while another tasted like garlic. They also tasted very strongly of cashew milk, which was not mentioned anywhere. The fried egg and raspberry brie sandwich was much better, but the bottom piece of toast was soggy. The raspberry brie had a consistency more like jam than brie. There were also 4 or 5 pieces of melon and grapes on the side of the plate. Maybe there was supposed to be a fruit salad, but it slid off the plate on the way to the table? Lastly, we ordered tomato pie to go, and the server could not find it for a good 15-20 minutes. read more

I live locally so I visit the Lititz location occasionally. I always choose a time when I know it won't be busy. So on a Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022 at 10 AM, I took my friend who was visiting from Chicago. As suspected, there were only 4 people in the dining room. I asked the hostess if we could have the table by the front window. She rather condescendingly told us that "that table is for 4 people". There were 3 four-top tables empty at the time. We were there for about an hour and not 1 of those tables was used. I have no complaints about this lovely cafe. The food and atmosphere are great. However, if that hostess is working the next time I visit, I'll turn around and eat somewhere else. read more

Visited on a Friday afternoon 3/30/12. One table left when we arrived. Had two different soups (chicken something-or-other and sausage lentil)--both were WONDERFUL (wish I could get the recipes) This was a little midday repast for the wife and me. Service was good. Nice little eclectic place and we hope to return when again in the area. P.S. Found a dry mix for sausage lentil soup at the Intercourse Canning Company read more

Diners looking for a mix of traditional and unique breakfast and lunch dining options will be pleased with the offerings at Tomato Pie Café. Since the name of the place is Tomato Pie, I had to order a slice of "tomato pie", and it was delicious! A pie crust filled with roasted/seasoned tomatoes covered with a top crust of crisp cheese/dough. I was surprised how much I liked this. It was served with a side of mixed greens and a slice of herbed scone (a little confusing, but good). The other entrée tried was the salmon artichoke Panini, which was filled with cool salmon, artichokes, and olive tapenade. My wife enjoyed the Panini and all the ingredients were very fresh. The herbed lemonade was unique, but enjoyable, but the mocha coffee missed the mark. The restaurant is small and there was a wait, but our food arrived in a timely manner once we were seated. read more

Omgoodness! What an amazing breakfast!!!!! I had the sausage and squash hash, it's a winter special. It was so full of flavor I didn't want my meal to end! Every bite I mm mm mmmed. My brother told me to sshh...lol this is a small town treasure! I highly recommend this restaurant! !!! read more

A second patio lunch 48 hours later. Service not quite as peppy, food still excellent. Seasonal special of Maple Turkey Panini with apples and brie was super tasty, but unless the brie was that little bit of creamy dressing on the bread, it was invisible. I must get some lemon and white balsamic from Olio and make this same house dressing for my own salads! read more

This is a nice gathering place for lunch and popular. Unfortunately for me the food did not live up to the hype. My flatbread with sausage and roasted red peppers was tasty and the butternut squash soup was good, but missing that special something. Could have used a swirl of creame fraiche or some herbs. The savory bread / scone served with the meal was very under cooked. Service was friendly. read more

I will start off by saying the food has been amazing both times I've been here but this place is not family friendly. This last time I was very disappointed in the treatment my family and I received. When we arrived there were only 2 or 3 other tables and my son tried to sit down when the waitress asked him to wait to be seated (which was fine, but I could tell she was immediately annoyed despite the fact there was no sign stating to wait). Instead of seating us in the main room or anywhere downstairs (which was mostly empty), we were taken to the second floor and put in a room by ourselves. While we waited for our food my boys sat at another table in the room so they could look out over Main Street. The manager of the restaurant came in the room and very rudely reprimanded my kids for sitting at a different table than we were seated at. I get that some restaurants don't like kids -they make messes and create chaos- but my money is worth the same as anyone else and I always make sure to have my boys pick up after themselves. I didn't appreciate being banished upstairs like a second class citizen and then treated as an annoyance. We had planned to eat there both mornings we were in town but after this we decided it was best not to go back. read more

Okay. Wasn't super prepared for multiple allergies / eating preferences which makes me wonder if the food is fresh or if it is all "premade" anyhow- they did their best to accommodate and the food was decent! :) read more

They vary in quality and proficiency, for instance. Ordered a muffin to be cut in half and grilled, it came to me with one half grilled and other half untouched. Shouldn't the server have noticed that before serving? A friend and I had parts of our orders on each other's plate, we had to correct. read more

Tasty food, but have had several occasions with rude/poor service. It's within walking distance to my house and our next-door neighbors have just completely decided not to go there anymore because they had so many instances of not being treated well. Some dishes have generous portions and others are on the small side. Still, a solid choice for breakfast or lunch most of the time. read more

This is a popular spot for lunch. We felt the service was good and the food was good as well. My main criticism is on my chicken curry sandwich the croissant seemed really dense and a little dry. I prefer croissants to me buttery and fluffy. The chicken salad was a little bland and could have used more seasoning. However my sisters salmon and artichoke panini was great, as was the tomato bisque soup my mom had. She said several times it tastes amazingly fresh. We would come back again to try more of their pressed sandwiches which seems to be their forte. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy and very welcoming. Parking is limited though so you may have to park a block or two down the road. read more
