Alas, while the website says the pretzel truck is open Wednesday through Saturday and I was there on Wednesday afternoon, there were no pretzels to be seen. I went into the shop. It was kind of kitchy in that Pennsylvania Dutch style that you see in farmers markets at all of the pick-your-own orchards everywhere. I ended up buying a "double chocolate bread" to serve as the snack that I missed because no pretzels. It was cake, and it was uninspired. Nothing really objectionable about BIH Bakshop, but nothing really impressive either.

A friend heard about my Lancaster Adventure Day and informed me that a trip to Lancaster simply…read morewould not be complete without a stop at Mr. Sticky's. Candidly, I had never in my life heard of Mr. Sticky's. Naturally, I immediately went to the internet to investigate. Within approximately 30 seconds I had one very important question...HOW HAS THIS AMAZING SUGAR-FILLED ESTABLISHMENT ESCAPED MY RADAR FOR ALL THESE YEARS?! Clearly, I had some lost time to make up for. I worked Mr. Sticky's into my adventure schedule and stopped by their Lancaster location shortly after lunch on an early August Thursday. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to find this cute little building tucked into a shared parking lot with a few picnic tables outside. Even better, there wasn't anyone in line when I walked up to the window, so there was absolutely nothing standing between me and my impending sugar rush. The menu was shockingly simple, and I mean that as a compliment. In a world where I sometimes need 20 minutes and a flowchart to order dessert, Mr. Sticky's basically says, "Here's the good stuff. Pick one." Cinnamon rolls. Regular stickies. Walnut stickies. Iced cinnamon rolls. Regular icing. And...PEANUT BUTTER ICING. Well, hello there! Being myself made of approximately 63.8% peanut butter, there was no way I was leaving without investigating that situation. But I also wanted to try one of their classic stickies, so I decided to see if I could break the universe and ordered a regular sticky with peanut butter icing. Success! Even better, the peanut butter icing came in a little container on the side, allowing me complete control over exactly how ridiculous I wanted this experience to become. I collected my box and headed for one of the picnic tables in the shade. It was approximately 95 degrees outside, so I was grateful for every square inch of shade available. Then I opened the box. This sticky was HUGE! It was beautifully golden, covered in glistening glaze and smelled absolutely incredible. I was already thrilled, but there was still one very important test standing between Mr. Sticky's and greatness. The peanut butter icing. Listen, I'm particular about peanut butter icing. If you're going to invoke the sacred name of peanut butter, I need you to COMMIT. I don't want something light, airy and vaguely peanut butter adjacent. I want thick. I want rich. I want peanut butter icing that looks me directly in the eyes and says, "Yeah. I'm peanut butter. What about it?" It was time to find out if Mr. Sticky was going to become my future husband. I took one little forkful of the icing by itself. And audibly squealed. Cold. THICK. Rich. Punch-you-in-the-face peanut butter. OH. YES. Mr. Sticky understood the assignment! I knew there was absolutely no chance I was going to finish that enormous sticky in one sitting, so instead of dumping the icing all over it, I went bite by bite. A little sticky. A little peanut butter icing. Repeat until happiness occurs. And happiness absolutely occurred! The sticky itself was soft, sweet and generously glazed, and adding that ridiculously rich peanut butter icing pushed the entire thing straight over the edge. Was it incredibly sweet? Yes. Was that a problem? Have we met?! I'm still not sure how I grew up in Central Pennsylvania without Mr. Sticky's entering my life sooner, but I'm glad somebody finally corrected this terrible oversight. My only complaint is that the closest location is nearly an hour from my house because I can already imagine these becoming a holiday breakfast tradition. Thanksgiving morning with Mr. Sticky's? Christmas morning with Mr. Sticky's?! COME ON. Holiday made! So I'm passing along the same advice my friend gave me. If your adventures take you anywhere near Mr. Sticky's, don't just consider stopping. Make it a destination. Get the sticky. Get the peanut butter icing. And maybe don't make any legally binding matrimonial decisions until the sugar rush wears off.

Simple review. They…read moreare one of the best in Lancaster. Get a sticky bun, get a peanut butter icing cup. You're Welcome. Enjoy. Takeout only, eat it in your car and enjoy! Quick and fast service, couple picnic tables to sit down and enjoy your delicious sticky!

We stopped at Dutch Haven after lunch across the parking lot, drawn in by the windmill, which…read morestands like a beacon for travelers aong Route 30 and the mildly curious. It is the sort of landmark that promises something memorable, or at least something sweet. Inside, the place leans heavily into its role as a stop-off for visitors. Shelves are filled with faux-Amish goods, hex signs, and a cheerful assortment of bric-a-brac, along with shirts that seem very proud of nearby towns with names that invite, shall we say a certain kind of humor. It feels less like a bakery and more like a general store that wandered into a theme. The people working there are genuinely kind, and generous with samples, which is always a wise and welcome strategy. We tried a bit of the shoo fly pie, and in the past we've tried some cookies, root beer, and ice cream. They were all perfectly fine. Pleasant, even. But they did not distinguish themselves from the many other places in Lancaster County offering the same treats with equal or better competence. Nothing here is bad. In fact, it is all quite enjoyable in the moment. But it is not something I would go out of my way for again. Far less so when the tourist busses are around. It is a place you stop at because you are already there, because the windmill caught your eye, because someone offers you a sample and you say yes. Three stars, for doing what it does well enough, in a place where "well enough" is abundant.

Stopped here for the first time this past Friday. Tried a special -- the Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll --…read moreand was VERY disappointed. It was incredibly overbaked, as the outermost 1/4" or so was very dark brown and hard as a rock. Like, it literally made noise if you tapped it. Yet the baker saw fit to ice it and sell it to people. Any decent bakery would have chalked this batch up as a failure and thrown them out. Though I have to admit, if you cut away the outside, the part that remained was quite good. I just wish they had better quality control and did not try to pawn off second-rate failures to customers, especially since their cinnamon rolls are like $5 each.

It was a first time here and they took the time to explain everything.

My daughter got the onion bagel and she said it was amazing. I went with the egg bagel and well...we ended going to Walmart, buying a cooler and ice because I could only eat half. I was not going to throw it away, it was that good. We also got pecan sandies rolled in powdered sugar. I did enjoy them, I just wish that had more almond or nutty flavor. We will definitely come back here and bring my Mom. It was amazing!

They are only opened on Thursdays and Fridays, but the hubs and I were lucky in stopping by to grab some of their readily-available fry pies! We got the Apple Snitz (filled with apple butter), Pumpkin Creme, and the Key Lime Creme - all are a bit smaller than the usual fry pie that's found and a little bit more pricier (at $1.75 per pie). They were of a good size for those who just want to nibble on a snack! When you step inside the shack, you'll see some boxes and crates filled with pies that are ready to be shipped out to local businesses and/or for those who had ordered in advance.

I am a very good baker and I can make some killer cakes, so let me tell you this place makes the absolute best coconut cake I have had in my entire life! I mean, I can't even imagine a way for it to be improved. It is a coconut walnut cake. The regular coconut cake is good, too, and very very fresh-tasting and has a much clean taste that you don't even find with homemade, but the coconut walnut cake is outrageously wonderful! It's not just a plain yellow cake like their regular coconut cake. the batter is different and, as good as I typically am at tasting and guessing ingredients, I have NO idea what the difference is with the coconut walnut cake batter, but it is divine! Let me mention another key point--I hate frosting. Even on the best cakes, I scrape it off. I do make an exception for my mom's homemade frosting, but I'm just not a frosting person, even when it's from the finest high-end bakery out there. However, let me tell you, this is the perfect frosting! It is light, smooth, incredibly fresh, and creamy without being heavy. I actually love this frosting and I actually enjoy eating it. This place has got a wonderful thing going and I hope they're around for generations and generations. Talk about some food that makes your heart smile :). If you are anywhere near this place and can make time to swing by, do it and you will absolutely fall in love!! The only thing you have to lose is your diet :P. Guess you better run a couple extra miles before-hand, lol. NOTE: The place my dad tried their products was at the Amish market in Lowell, Maryland, which is open Thurs-Sat with very limited hours (closed by 3pm on one of those days, but it varies).
