But I was not reminded that it's cash only. So I got there, there was like 10 pastries to pick from, I took the last 2 cookies left and a bar with a cinnamon crust. First off, the counter was empty, a woman came from the back room to assiat me, she looked annoyed. I a asked for the items and handed her my debit card, and she no, we dont take that, again, annoyed, she said your total is 5.20. I looked in my purse hoping to find cash, and i had 5 dollars,no 20 cents, and so i told her just take out a cookie, and she did so, which made me sad, because you couldnt find it in your heart to let me go for 20 cents, but its a long standing business and businesses dont thrive if you give free stuff away. And besides that i wanted to come on and give a good review but i cant. That cookie was so burned and hard, it was inedible and the bar, was a huge mass of brown sugar crust, it was mainly crust with hardly any cake underneath, so sadly i didnt enjoy either purchase. But i will be going back to try their breads and bagels, hopefully the experience will be better. ​

After a hard-core day of riding dirt, mud, trails and backroads our group of hard-core bikers…read morescurried into this establishment for a few scoops of frozen heaven. The first thing that caught our dirt Filled eyes was the unique candy selection on the wall. Stuff I have not seen since I was a child.: (Not that I am old). Next my eyes focused on the digital menu board that displayed the plethora of scrumptious choices of their homemade ice cream. Halfway through the menu a little bit of drool was dripping on the floor from my Saliva glands making my mouth water profusely. So many delicious choices, I had to find out what was the biggest and baddest of their selections. It turns out to be the banana split served in a tub. This 55 gallon drum look alike was filled with bananas, three different kinds of ice cream, chocolate syrup,other toppings, whip cream and cherry! Oh my goodness..... I think my head is going to explode.... ....good thing I am wearing a motorcycle helmet. That mess would not be pretty in such a beautiful store. After Ripping my wallet from my pants, I cheerfully paid then rushed to Carry the payload of ice cream out to the picnic tables across the street by the stream. After enjoying the beautiful view of the stream and the babbling brook, I Wielded a plastic spoon like a samurai wields his sword, slicing into the frozen cream with expert precision. The whip cream, chocolate and flavored ice cream I had ordered all culminated in an explosion of flavors in my mouth. I think I let out a little scream of ecstasy as it slid down my throat. There is nothing like homemade ice cream to get you excited for the next bite. I probably gained 2 pounds from eating this enormous treat that was Prepared with love. But it's worth every pound I might gain. Shortly thereafter it was time to get back on the motorcycle and ride a few more mountain tops. The sun was warm and starting to get an orange tint as it was contemplating setting in a couple hours. The warm wind was blowing the leaves ever so slightly, the Mountain tops were screaming my name like a lost child screams for their parents at the mall. What a great day, what a great ice cream store, what a place to Stop!

Imagine if your grandparents opened up a bakery on a farm. That's pretty much the vibe at Lake View…read moreOrchards. Grandma bakes the pastries and is the friendly face at the register. Grandpa works the donut making robot, cranking out hot apple cider donuts while watching the world go by from the window. The building may be a little bit run down, but the place is totally charming. There are a few tables toward the back of the shop to sit down and enjoy your hot donuts. However, most people take them to go. That seems like a bad idea, especially since the donuts are both warm and covered with cinnamon sugar. To eat them in the car is a recipe for disaster. Sugar would get everywhere and you would soon be a sticky mess. Saving them for later would be a tragedy, since apple cider donuts are so much better when they are warm. It's a rare treat to get warm cider donuts. As Otis said, these are decidedly more aggressive on the spicing. I tasted not just cinnamon, but also nutmeg. Are they worth an hour drive? Probably not. But if you are within a half hour of this orchard, I'd say it's worth the trip.
