Best soft pretzel in Lancaster county! The stick pretzels have been a staple in my family for…read moreyears. They have expanded their store and menu and have a lot of options like pretzel logs, ice cream and chocolate covered soft pretzels. They carry a few other local food items as well. Ice cream is from Fox Meadows. Prices are fair. Plenty of parking. Stop by and try some samples!

We were driving through the New Holland area and stumbled across this little shop/market that has…read morehuge pretzels on its signs and exterior walls. If you're in the area, be sure to check it out! We decided to have lunch and ordered a couple pretzel sandwiches. Mine was called a Dutchman, which had ham and cheese and a creamy sauce made of brown sugar and mustard. My wife ordered an Italian sausage pretzel sandwich that she devoured. We of course had to try a plain soft pretzel too. The market sold a lot of touristy Amish stuff like maple syrup, soft pretzel mix, bacon dressing, and empty pretzel casings for hot dogs (pretzel dogs). Probably the only reason we didn't give 5 stars is because of its rustic bathroom. It's a single porta-potty that sits outside the store. Better than inside the store I suppose, but eww! No sink to wash your hands, just hand sanitizer. So be forewarned; take care of your private business somewhere else before dropping by.

These are the real deal for big soft pretzels. The chain store in the mall are dreck compared to…read morethese. Yes there are plain big pretzels and you can get mini hot dog pretzels for the kids. Mustard and cheese dips to go with it. But what YOU really want is... Pepperoni stuffed Steak and cheese BBQ pulled pork and cheese Ham and cheese Chicken cordon bleu ( chicken, ham Swiss) Brisket ( soft pot roast beef: mushroom, onion, cheese) My photos are of the Brisket. Oh my goodness. Oh my word. These are absolutely delicious. Fresh hot from the oven. Line is long but moves fast. Only two tables inside. Eat it at one of the many picnic tables or in your car. It won't last long. Eat it while it's hot. Cash only! But not a lot of it. I think each one is 6 bucks. Big pretzel is 1.25. How can you not.

Also they asked if it was our first time, cause I had to ask what should we get ? The let us try a sample of different flavors and the best shocker. I got a free drink ( coffee) for first time. The ice cream was really good!!! My kids loved it also! My wife who didn't want ice cream somehow ate half of mine when she tried it. We didn't get the food but it looked delicious. When we are back in the area we already said we will be trying the food next. Also cool factor, they have a big window that you can watch them make the ice cream. It does get crowded. Loved the seating in the place.

So good! The place is super cute inside they have seating by a cozy fireplace. They allow you to…read moresample the icecream & even give you a free coffee if it's your first time visiting.

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 :)

Very nice place! Service was quick and organized! Try the pretzel. They have beefsteak and cheese…read moreand chicken ranch. I had the beefsteak. The ladies were baking them right in front of you! 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.

We were recommended this market while visiting and so glad we had the time to come by!…read more This market was tucked away but treasured find! There was a lot of local items for sale, from produce to meats to dairy and baked goods. We got Whoopie pies (that were gone before we left the parking lot they were so good!), and a cheddar bacon dip to snack on for the road! We also got jams, butters, jerkies and a cookbook to recreate some of the things we tried or saw in store. The ladies working were kind and helpful. They were able to answer any questions we had and were prompt in service. Overall this market was a great find, I would highly recommend coming by if you are in the area!

We went to Lapp Valley farm for the most creamy and delicious ice cream…read more Very short distance from it is the village farm market. It is a beautiful farm filled with trees, plants, succulents... anything you need for your flower/plant needs. But it is a secret gem that hides the most amazing sandwich shop in the area. It is filled with fresh bread, baked goods and most amazing pies, fresh fruit and vegetables. But all of it hides this amazing sandwich shop that has one of the best Philly Cheese Steaks. It is gooey with melted cheese and if you ask for chopped hot peppers... you can get the perfect blend of banana peppers and jalapeño peppers to get the kick! You don't want to miss this store if you are in the area! We stayed in a nearby Airbnb tiny home. You can't beat the kind attentive service and the care by which they make every sandwich. Everything is so fresh and well made! No indoor seating... so be ready for the heat if you plan to eat here.

The range of available beers will suit everyone in your group. I am a local. This is my regular, go to spot and I've been to every craft brewer in Northern Lancaster and Southern Berks Counties. The staff is exceptional in helping people select beers. The food compliments the beer offerings. The rotating variety of egg rolls is unique. If you remember the former brewery, which shall remain nameless, forget it. Rural City will blow it away. Drop in and say hello to Ben and James (the owners). This might easily become your go to spot.

Visited this place from out of town and saw a HUGE beer garden on the website. Sadly when we went…read morethere was no beer garden but that place was still pretty cool. You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though!
