The deserts are fantastic! Obviously, make sure you bring cash. I tried a lot of the doughnuts and a whoopee pie and I am pretty sure that this is as good as it gets. Truly, a must try if you are out this way exploring. Edit: Second time visiting one year later. Wasn't as great as the first time. You really want to make sure that you go when things are baked fresh - most of what he got was discounted and a bit stale. Probably better to go on the weekend? I did find out that the woman who runs this place is Sadie's daughter and it has been around for something like 40 years which is pretty cool. She was, in fact, very nice. I look forward to visiting again next year!

Amish pretzels are among may very favorite things. As soon as I read about Sara-Faye's Soft…read morePretzels, I knew I had to make sure I got some. At $2.50 each for the original plain ones, they're a LOT cheaper than most other hot pretzels. And they're SOOO good! I bought 4 so I could take them home and freeze them.

Their menu offers: the Regular (salt & butter), Cinnamon Sugar, Garlic & Herb, and Sour Cream & Onion. On our recent visit, they added Parmesan and a Hot Dog Pretzel. They also have dips (homemade cheese sauce, homestyle sweet mustard, and cream cheese (have to specially ask for this)), and beverages (Fresh Squeezed Lemonade, Southern Brewed Sweet Iced Tea, bottled water, and sodas). This time, we ordered: +The Regular +the Cinnamon Sugar +Garlic & Herb +Homemade Cheese Sauce +Cream Cheese Frosting Note that the sauces are good for almost 1 of the pretzels; the pretzels are larger than normal, so you may need about 2 sauces per pretzel, if you're a scooper. There was a huge line, so we thought we would receive hot pretzels; unfortunately, they were just all room temperature and seemed to have been prepped ahead of time. Note that this is a popular stopping point for tour buses, so you may be standing and waiting in line for about 40+ minutes. Staff is friendly. This place is cash only, and there is no ATM on-site (in or outside of the Bakeshop) - there is a local bank a little less than two miles down the road, though. Plenty of parking for both tour buses, trucks, and smaller vehicles. There are also covered seats as well as a cute animal farm of goats and fluffy chickens to feed. +lukewarm pretzels +cash only! +located in the lot of Bird-in-Hand Bakeshop +plenty of parking

We found this place closeby to an Airbnb we were staying in and now we have visited 5 times during…read moreour last 3 trips! The pretzels are delicious and they always have a new flavor of ice cream or a food item on special! We've tried the strawberry, blueberry and peach soft serve already! (Peach is my fav so far!) They do meat filled pretzels as well as pretzels sticks and various treats! They also have hard ice cream and food on their menu. My little one enjoys the pretzels, ice cream and the fun playground and pond with ducks! The playground is great and they also have little machines where you can grab some food for the ducks (the fish eat them too !). The general feel and vibe is so comforting and warm - my husband loves going there for that reason alone. The bathrooms are spacious and the women's bathroom has a changing table. They have information for tourists and local things to do as well. One of the best parts about Hayloft is their mission - they work to support at risk youth in the community and all the people who work there are volunteers! Tips left for staff show appreciation and they are very nice. Since we found Hayloft, it has become a "regular" stop on our list of places to visit when we come to PA :)

They were juice and yummy with cheese! They're served warm which was great on a rainy day. There's a pond outside and ducks, a produce stall across the street. I also tried their ice cream which was very creamy! Free water, too. The proceeds go to the Allegheny Boys camp, and I asked the staff about it. Seems like a very worthy cause.

Now the pros: the ice cream is delicious and the iconic "Oh My Butters" ice cream cone was unique and different, you won't find it anywhere else! They have completely outdid themselves with the animal area and outdoor area. It is stunning! The service is surprisingly quick for how long the lines are constantly. The parking lot was FILLED and the staff was still whipping up ice cream left and right to keep the crowd moving. If you have kids, go to pretzel hut! (Just bring your wallet lol)

For those who don't live in Lancaster, PA; it's a "thing" and a good "thing" at that. There was an overwhelming response for Kissel Hill and so, that's where I vowed to be, on a Saturday, arriving at around 11:15. The barbecue masses, showed up at 10am. I figured this must have been the case, because when I arrived, there were no more leg/thigh combos, grilled sliced potatoes - sold out, except for one, which we snagged (the last potato) and grilled carrots - gone. If you plan on going to an Amish barbecue stand, get there EARLY. The consensus (among myself & hubby), potato - under cooked, chicken lacked essential flavors derived from smoke and brining, meat wasn't as tender as was expected, completely out of napkins and forks?? Oh crap! Come on Kissel, I know this isn't your first rodeo. Some Amish bbq stands include whoopie pies, this was not one of them. Sadly, even the roll was not up to par; it was stale. Oh man. No worries, Lancaster County has lots of contenders out there and I aim to try all of them. There is small adjoining market with a ton of apples, onions, potatoes, pie filling, pickles, noodles, baked goods, flowers, dairy items and more.

The apple cider slushies are so refreshing. The staff of local Amish ladies is courteous and helpful.
