M&A Sweet Treats.... in my opinion is not just the Best Bakery in Lancaster county, it's got to be…read moreone of the best in the country? We love their Sourdough bread. Recently we asked if they would make a loaf of Sourdough Cinnamon brown sugar bread. They did, and it was absolutely Amazing. All the goodness of their sourdough with the festive addition of cinnamon and brown sugar. Off the charts! I asked before I wrote this and they are happy to make some for you. Had another piece this morning with coffee for breakfast. I'm already envisioning a Christmas morning breakfast of "French Toast" using M&A's Cinnamon, brown sugar sour dough bread. While you are there try their holiday offering of a pumpkin cream filled glazed doughnut sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg!! Too good!

Never again! I love supporting local business! It was recommended by a fellow veteran at the VA,…read moreand It's on my way home from work so I figured I'd stop. I should have gotten a clue when I saw a gentleman walk in and walk right back out....Im walking around and immediately notice I am the only person of color in the store, not even an employee. The customers just stared, none of the employees spoke. The cashier acted like it was a big inconvenience, she didn't even want to speak...the craziest part and older gentleman checked out or didn't I'm not sure but he sat on a bench and just stared at me. In this economy these small grocery stores need the business, you'd think a store like that off the main highway would be the best option, but that store definitely is off of my list.

How did I live practically across the street and never knew about this little gem?! Happy to have…read morefound it, even after moving a few miles away. It's definitely off the beaten path and completely unassuming, but I definitely recommend seeking this place out. Their deli counter is well priced and always packed with patrons for MTOs and takeaway portions. They also have hard ice cream to dip into cones and bowls. After that it's always an adventure as to what you're finding. All the dry goods, random produce and baked goods along with refrigerated and frozen items. It's a small store that gets quite crowded, so pack your patience. The checkout line gets long but moves efficiently. It's an adventure!

My roommate told me about Forry's 11 years ago, and I passed that sign on my right hand side, the…read moreone right across from the Dollar General on Marietta Avenue for the last 11 years never realizing the goodness I'd been denying myself. Forry's is tucked back there-- but it's a true Lancaster County gem. I'm a little transparent with my feelings! Ha! And after oooooing and ahhhhhing one too many times, a fellow shopper said, "so when did you move to the area?" And I had to say "I've been living here for the last twelve years!" And she said, "and you're just now coming here?!?!? What took you so long?!??" My thoughts exactly! Ugggghhhh!!! WHYYYYY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?? Forry's has a deli counter with all the Lancaster county favorites; soft serve ice cream, a made to order sandwich counter, -- like Subway-- but Soooooo much better (they even have pretzel rolls!!!!) They have produce, meat, bulk goods, frozen gourmet entrees including REAL gnocchi and ravioli-- I mean-- oh my LORD-- that little, non-assuming shop, is tucked in the back -- where one goes there because one wants to-- because it's a heavenly destination-- and exudes love and care from the second you walk in! And as was pointed out to me by the sweetest lady ever at the register: "ya hafta try our oatmeal raisin cookies. They're the best," and she was NOT wrong! We got the chocolate chip ones too. So good. Get over there y'all! Forry's is one of those places that just might renew your faith in humanity and give you a reason to go on. Just a bit of homey heaven, just a little off the beaten path. Don't be lazy like I was. Go check it out!

In the former long time location of the Akron Shoprite is a new doughnut shop. There is another…read moreLancaster location and foodtrucks. Upon entering is a wall of large, multi filled donuts of a number of varieties. Tiramisu I'm told is a popular one. I bought a dozen and the cost was $29. A purchase of a doz gets you a token for a free donut. A similar dozen at Giant Food Store that morning was $11. So are these worth 3 times the price? Depends. They are larger, there are more varieties and they are superfresh. They have a coffee bar and more than a few Gluten free options. The seating area is warm and inviting with a nice fireplace on the chilly day I visited. There is a small meeting room for an office to gather over coffee and donuts. I am a tea drinker and they do offer hot tea. I would love to see iced tea and flavored teas offered. Now what they need to come up with is some kind of breakfast or lunch option, a sandwich or croissant or a wrap. If you want me to come in and sit down for awhile I need more than a donut. We were looking for a place to eat that day and would have loved to stay if they offered anything like a sandwich. Dunkin Donuts offers quite few options. I'm not looking for that. Just something that works with their vibe and lets me grab a bite for lunch. The donuts themselves are super sweet, a bit messy (the creme leaks out) and big. You know how you slurp down a Krispy Kreme donut in 2 bites? This is not that. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The aesthetic is clean, nicely appointed. Some Akron locals told me they have embraced this venue. I'm sure they did their due diligence in opening a location here that is off the main drag. Loads of parking, easy in and out. They could easily get 5 stars by adding to the menu just a bit. But today, 4 stars from me.

This place is unassuming from the outside, but pretty cute and cozy on the inside! I visited on a…read moreFriday morning and saw several people chatting with friends over coffee and donuts in the seating area. The floor to ceiling windows let in a lot of light and create a comfortable space to enjoy the food. The employees working were friendly and quick. They worked through a line of 3 people within a minute or two. I ordered two donuts at $2.80 each and one gluten free ($4) for a friend. I definitely think the prices are high compared to other similar donuts in the area. The quality was good, though. I loved the chocolate icing and the donut dough was fresh. My friend said the gluten free donut was a little dense, but I think that's par for the course with gluten free baked goods.

If you eat these an hour later, they are still a good donut, but not sure they seperate themselves from the pack if that makes sense. We got both creme filled and regular donuts. The regular iced and glazed donuts were better than the creme filled in our opinion. Line was out the door! The staff worked well and got people in and out with their dozen donut orders at a time.
