Every time I get a chance, I make a stop by La Dolce Vita, my favorite Italian bakery in Lancaster,…read morewhere I can get delicious fresh-baked pastries and very tasty cakes for special occasions. I got a delicious Chocolate cake for my dad's birthday, and my parents loved it. I was in a hurry, so I got one of their turkey BLT sandwiches, which was fresh and really good. The ladies working at this establishment are very helpful and friendly. I truly recommend their chocolate cakes and their pastries, specifically their fresh-baked croissants and cheese danishes. If you live in the outside of Lancaster, it's totally worth the drive.

The staff is always absolutely wonderful and will answer any questions you might have about the baked goods. The cafe is small and very cozy and is nestled in a lovely location in downtown Lancaster. I always get the sfogliatelle as it's my favorite dessert and I got the pumpkin donut this weekend and it soft, warm and not overly sweet! The Tiramisu latte was also perfect!

It's a cute space with both inside and outside seating, and there's plenty of parking in the lot out front. I ordered the Loaded Breakfast Tots, and they were so delicious I came back the next day to get them again! They're just a container of hot savory deliciousness. The toppings are generous, so you get some in every bite and you're not left with a layer of bare tots at the bottom. The employees were all friendly and welcoming, and the wait time seemed appropriate for my order. I'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I'm in Lancaster.

My husband ate almost the entire shepherds pie by himself...he was hungry and it's good. I just finished eating a chocolate mint cupcake that was so tasty. Their chocolate croissants are fabulous as well. Service was friendly and speedy yesterday. I was there at 4pm so I have found they are less busy at that time of day when I want to buy things to take home. If I lived closer to Zig's I would probably be there more often, but as it is, I am still thankful it's only a 30 minute drive from my home.

If I had to pick a "comfort spot" in Lancaster County, Zig's would win every time. This place is…read moreone of my favorite lunch stops, the kind where you walk in already knowing exactly what you're ordering because it never misses. I get the tuna melt every single time, and listen... their tuna is unreal. Perfectly seasoned, not too mayo-heavy, toasted just right it's basically my emotional support lunch at this point. I also never skip the seasonal drink special. Today's was the apple chai-der and it was so cozy and delicious. Their drink specials always feel like you're sipping the current season through a mug. Zig's also has an entire cooler/freezer wall packed with soups, applesauce, and grab-and-go meals. My all-time favorite soup is the Tomato Pepper Jack absolutely phenomenal. If you see it, grab two. Trust me. The bakery case? Dangerous. Cupcakes, pies, whoopie pies, parfaits... it's basically dessert heaven behind glass. And then there's my holy grail: the Buffalo Cauliflower. It's a rare find, and when I spot it I buy it in full apocalypse-prep quantities. No regrets. Between the rustic vibe, great coffee, incredible baked goods, and comfort-food lunches, Zig's is one of those places you keep coming back to because it just feels good and tastes even better. Highly recommend!

Since the weather has been little chilly we decided to go in beside. When you enter the door you arrive at the order counter. It's quaint with the menu on the wall and a display of their baked goods. We placed our order, were given a number then you find a table where they will bring your food. The staff were friendly and working to clean the place regularly. I went with a lunch combo and I loved the roast beef sandwich. Though I wish there was more beef. The soup was warm and sweet and savory, perfect for fall weather. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food! I also ordered a hot vanilla latte with soy milk after. The espresso is balanced and not bitter. Approved! Great place to have good conversation, food and time with friends! Definitely coming back to try their baked goods next time!

Comes with a side of coleslaw, potato salad or chips; I had a side of coleslaw which the owner freshly sliced and prepared just for me. It was lightly dressed, a little sweet, with a touch of cracked black pepper that was very nice. I would come back just for that and a chance to chat with Tom, the owner. I can't wait to come back to try other things, but the BLT is too good to pass up on. They did a steady carry out business while I was there, so don't be fooled by empty tables; the place is great.

My husband and I looked for the best BBQ places in the area and landed on The BBQ Barn. A small and cute little barn sits in the corner of the plaza (on the right of Target). We ordered chicken and rib dinners with an extra pulled pork sandwich (we ordered way too much but needed to try it all!!). Dinner plates come with Cole slaw, a dinner roll, potatoes, and a whoopie pie. There is seating outside. We both agreed that the chicken may have been the best we have ever had. It was seasoned so well and perfectly cooked. The ribs came with bbq sauce on the side. There was a line, but service was quick and efficient. The grills are right in front and you can see the cooking happening! Inside the barn, I could see them rolling out fresh pretzels. They also had homemade root beer, which was very good! After we finished eating, I couldn't help but grab a vanilla ice cream cone to share with my dogs. They agree too, best soft serve ice cream we have ever had. Since getting home, we have already talked about how we need to plan a trip back to Lancaster to get more BBQ and explore the area a bit longer.

Drive to the Target just west of the American Music Theatre and head to the far east side of the Target, driving back around the side of the building and the restaurant will be on your right. Watch for small signs directing you to the BBQ Barn. Review: Very good pulled pork sandwiches with lots of meat for a very reasonable price. Full meal is a great deal that includes three small grilled red potatoes, a small coleslaw, roll, whoopie pie, and drink for $12.50-$14.00 depending on your meat and beverage choice. They sell "homemade" root beer that I tried and it was good and tasted like the original drove in A&W root beer except it lacked carbonation. We had a sandwich plus one full meal for about $20 and left a small tip. Note that this is a casual place with outdoor seating only, similar to a food truck. Thankfully the picnic table seating is mostly in the shade. I do recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner and noticed local Amish eating there while we had lunch. today.
