    I had their mini Chocolate Whoopie pies and they were the best whoopie pies I've tasted!

    Outstanding baked goods. Lucky enough for them to be sold at the Saturday Sale flea market nearby.

    Such a cute gift shop and bakery in the heart of Amish town Lancaster. The bakery was stocked with…read moresweets, homemade root beer and pretzels. A staff member greeted us with samples of their famous shoofly pie which was warmed and tasty. The cashier was friendly. They have something for all interests in the gift shop. Nic naks, clothing, Amish goods, furniture etc.

    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.

    Simon's has been part of my life since they had a location at Loch Raven and Cold Spring in NE…read moreBaltimore when I was young. Before it was Simon's the Otterbein's name was over the storefront. They moved to Cranbrook a long time ago and at least two generations of Simon's were keeping up shop. Legend has it that Mr Simon pretty much lived in the place!! Well, the Simon family sold the business about a year ago to a Latino family. They are great folks and quick to offer a happy greeting upon entering the shop. Their famed sugar cookies dominate the display cases behind the counter. My mission this morning was to acquire two parcels of a deeply personal culinary weakness: DONUTS! Made from scratch donuts. Far better than Krispy and gas station or c-store donuts. At 1.50 each, you can't beat it as far as flavor and quality go. My second visit in about a month. I'll try to make it more frequently, but, you know, donuts... It's easy to stumble...

And I followed them to both locations in Baltimore County because their baked goods remained the same! Until now. I bought a peach cake at their Cockeysville location yesterday and although the peaches were the same sweet and delicious, the cake part wasn't the same. I was disappointed. I know it is no longer a family run bakery anymore but I thought they got the recipes from the Simon family. I hope they do if they haven't because I won't be going back. The cake part of the peach cake just needs a little something to make it taste like Simon's!!

    I really wanted to like this place. There was a good selection on the Saturday morning that we…read morestopped in and I thought that they would have a homebred taste and smell. I have to say I was disappointed. We got a set of sticky buns with walnuts and a small cherry custard pie. I am sad to report that though they were very fresh, they were both pretty tasteless. The ingredients read and tasted very much like a commercial bakery which I guess they are but thought otherwise.

    I have never physically been here before, but my dad brings me the coconut walnut cake every time…read morehe is out-of-town anywhere remotely close to here. 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).
