    I attended an event catered by Zigs. The staff was polite and helpful and the food was good. After the event, I visited the bakery and got a smoothie and rice crispy treat because it's my guilty pleasure. I do wish this smoothie was made with real fruit or even frozen fruit and said it's made with purée still yummy but fresh or frozen fruit is better.

    I visited the Lancaster location and had to try the famous scones. There were 4 flavors available (blueberry, cheddar kale, cranberry orange and apple cinnamon). The employee said blueberry was the best seller and cheddar kale was her favorite. I ordered everything but the cranberry orange. Very fresh, flavorful, and soft! If you like hard scones, this is the complete opposite. These scones are more like a biscuit. Flaky and soft. All flavors were delicious but I think my favorite was also the savory cheddar kale! I'd highly recommend ordering from here and trying the other goodies they have!

    I don't know what I would do without Zig's! They're in my neighborhood and make life 1000x easier with a newborn. I love being able to walk over for a coffee, delicious treat, or lunch. My favorite menu items are the baked oatmeal, seasonal coffee specials, whoopie pies, green salads, and sandwiches. The staff are so friendly. I even ordered 32 croissants for an event we hosted and they were a hit! I can't stay away from Zig's :)

    Ham and broccoli quiche with salad greens

    My first experience was not what I was expecting. But I want to give it another try. So this could turn into a 5 Star once I get back to try additional items. Why I am giving it a two star right now is due to the lack of flavor my ham and broccoli quiche had. There was two tiny pieces of ham and 3 tiny pieces of broccoli and a side of gross dressing for the salad greens. Completely no flavor at all. And it was such a tiny piece. I thought it was great that they had so many quiche selections to pick from though. On a positive note, their prices are really good. I also liked their homemade chips. I would like to order from their salad deli counter next time. The inside is pretty cool and they have a big outside seating area. It is an odd location but plenty of parking.

    I have only ever visited their stand at Central Market. It's always been one of, if not my favorite stand for baked goods. I placed a pie order and was overwhelmed with goodies while I waited for my pies. The cafe is quaint, cozy, and filled with all of your sweetest desires. I ordered the Pumpkin, Peach, Pecan, and Apple pies. They were still warm and looked picturesque! I bought a few varieties of cookies for my office and they didn't last very long. I only wish I lived closer!

    Ordered a cake for my son's first birthday party and was so pleased with it! It tasted phenomenal (Vanilla Cake with Vanilla buttercream) and I was so delighted with the decoration. It was easy to order - just called, picked my flavors and size, and gave them two colors to have fun with. Will definitely be returning here for more celebration desserts!

    I used to drive past Zigs all the time and always say that I wanted to stop in. I am so mad how long it took me to finally do so!!! It is wonderful!! I am obsessed with their vanilla chai latte so haven't really tried any other coffee options yet but definitely get it if you live chai! They have a ton of bakery options... cupcakes, cookies, pies, etc... all delicious! We finally ordered lunch one day and I got a grilled cheese and it was top-notch. You can tell everything is definitely freshly made. Finally, they have a ton of packaged items you can purchase as well, all locally made! It is really nice inside and pretty big (apparently they do a ton of weddings here during the summer!!) This has easily become my favorite spot to stop in the area!

    Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is a historic pretzel bakery that opened in Lititz, Pennsylvania in…read more1861. It was founded by baker Julius Sturgis. During the 1850s, Sturgis worked as an apprentice bread baker. There are a number of variations of the origin story, but the most popular one seems to be that Sturgis was preparing a batch of soft sourdough pretzels and accidentally double baked them due to the summer heat. This "happy accident" resulted in dried-out pretzels. The head baker felt that no one would want them, but it gave Sturgis an idea to exclusively produce and sell crispy pretzels. By 1861, Sturgis had purchased a historic stone house and added a pretzel bakery in the back. Sturgis' brand of crispy pretzels soon became a big hit. He would continue to operate the business alongside his family for several years. The Sturgis Family is still in the pretzel business to this day. His grandson Marriott "Tom" Sturgis founded Tom Sturgis Pretzels in Reading in 1946. Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is the oldest commercial pretzel bakery in the United States. The current president and majority owner is Tim Snyder, uncle of current Tom Sturgis Pretzels owner Bruce Sturgis. My family and I recently visited Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery while we were traveling through Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. The area may be known for its rich Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but it's also known for its rich pretzel history and production. It just so happens that pretzels are my favorite snack! We arrived at the bakery just minutes after it opened for the day and signed up to take a tour. Participants have the opportunity to roll their hands in dough and make their own hand-made pretzels, just like workers did in the late 19th century. Our guide showed us all of the various tools of the trade from that period, but the highlight was seeing the original brick ovens. At the conclusion of the tour, participants were all given a complimentary bag of Tom Sturgis "Little Ones" pretzels. Afterwards, we headed into the retail shop which was stocked with various Julius Sturgis and Tom Sturgis pretzel products. Some of the varieties that we purchased for the road included "Little Cheesers" and "Honey Mustard". We also bought some freshly baked soft pretzels, which tasted out of this world! If you love pretzels then we highly recommend a visit to the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery!

At the end, they give you a small bag of hard pretzels. The storytelling was good and the workers were friendly, but I wasn't too impressed. It's a small, cramped space, and I'd recommend the tour for kids 8 and up. Our group had several kids ages 2-5, with lots of crying and screaming, making it hard to hear and very difficult for the storyteller. You can reserve your tour online, and they start on time, so keep that in mind. There is street parking and a few spots in the back, and we had no trouble finding a spot. There's a gift shop available and fjeu also sell soft pretzels and other snacks. Overall, it's a cute and cheap activity if you have an extra 20-30 minutes.

My wife got their regular burger and it was cooked to her liking. Eventhough it was not cooked how I prefer, it still tasted good! The fries tasted very very good! I love a shoestring fry! Unfortunately, they charge an extra 6 dollars to upgrade from chips to fries with their burger. The mozzarella sticks were out of this world. This was a very good bang for your buck. Homemade and handbreaded, they were massive. You get two for 8 dollars. The prices here are very high. To put it in perspective, if you go here and get two burgers, upgrade to fries for both burgers, and get two waters, your bill is going to be $48 dollars plus tax.... The decor and scenery in here is incredible! It looks awesome. The seating is very limited. Make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. We went at 430 and about half the tables were blocked off for reservations. Would definitely like to come back here and try different items, every dish that went by looked delicious!
