Searching out some sun on a 60* Friday, we stumbled upon Vanilla Bean Creamery in Shipshewana,…read moreIndiana. We were immediately drawn to the kid friendly, modern feel of this establishment equipped with a kids play house, picnic tables, and a handmade connect four game. The ice cream shoppe is mom and pop owned. They make all their ice cream themselves from the farm's milking cows. I had the mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone and felt the price was more than fair at $3.50 for a large single scoop. It hit the spot during the balmy afternoon and energized us to explore this quaint Amish/ Mennonite village. 3 cheers for Vanilla Bean Creamery!

I have been places where there is wayyyy too much emphasis on the salt of the salted caramel flavor. This place gets busy, and there can be long waits if there is only one person working. Many Amish eat here. No dining in, only some outdoor seating. On a return trip, we had the lemon. It was so good! Not too lemony. Just right. Very creamy. i would recommend.

The pasta salad was the perfect balance of tangy dressing with pasta, cheese, meat and olives. The cupcakes are spectacular. Rich, creamy and decadent. A real treat.

Need a snack? Craving the best soft pretzel you've ever had? Look no further than Ben's Soft…read morePretzels. Situated across the street from E&S grocery store. This "famous" little gem is known for its delicious pretzels and other scrumptious pretzel dough based delights. We started with the regular pretzel and purchased nacho cheese and sweet mustard sauce accompaniments for $1 each. The pretzel was exactly what we had hoped for...light, airy, doughy, but with a crunchy exterior. The whole family enjoyed splitting one pretzel. Afterward, I was still feeling a bit peckish. I decided to order myself an ice coffee along with a pretzel dough rolled all beef hotdog with melted Swiss cheese sandwiched inside. Love at first bite. The whole experience was HEAVEN. I've never had more tasty "junk" food in my life. Dip it in the sweet mustard accompaniment (trust me) for the ultimate tastebud sensory experience. I think we spent under $15 for all the stuff. Extremely reasonable and you can go for a snack or a meal. So many treats and a friendly/ hardworking staff made the whole experience delightful.

Our family of four had an Indiana-Ohio road trip and I really wanted to stop by an Amish community…read morefor some homey lunch. We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 pm and there was a 15-minute wait to be seated. After we were seated, we were served with fresh bread, Amish peanut butter, and apple butter. It was very much appreciated because breakfast was several hours ago and we were starving. We proceeded to order and share the fried chicken dinner with fries and the smoked ham platter with mashed potatoes, gravy, and bread. The fried chicken was a bit small, however everything else was plentiful. We were stuffed but we had a room for dessert. We shared the old-fashioned sugar cream pie with vanilla ice cream. It was a glorious way to wrap up the meal! Since we were concluding a road trip, I did not want to have to cook after arriving home. We ordered homestyle meatloaf with potato salad and country roast beef with sweet potato casserole for take-out. The waitstaff planned very accordingly and had the kitchen prepare it so that the take-out will be ready once our meal concluded. Everything held up well on our three hour drive. My one complaint is that the meatloaf was a tad dry and did not come with sauce like a classic one normally does. When you are in an Amish community, it is almost wrong to not pick up baked goods. We also stopped by the bakery and bought peanut butter, sweetheart jam, Dutch apple pie, and banana cream pie. Whole pies are approximately $16.99 each. They were delicious!

There's salad, bread, soup, entrees and sides too - all cooked Amish style. I loved the beef noodles, meatloaf, and broccoli salad. I sampled some other dishes, but had to save room for pie. There were some really delicious puddings too - blueberry with fresh blueberries in it and a warm bread pudding. Delicious! Service was quick and friendly and I think it's a good value for $22. It's best to arrive early and plan for a long walk afterwards (to work off the pie).
