Best lemonade ever! Dont miss the pretzels with cheese. Gifts for every one. Hand crafts and more
We visited this stand to purchase Annie’s peach jam since it is so delicious. We got 4 jars and will continue to enjoy them.The soft pretzels as well as the pint of salted caramel ice cream were delicious.”We’ll be back!”The staff was very helpful. The animals, salves and birdhouses were great! Thanks!
Soft pretzels and homemade root beer! Yum! Great baked goods and crafts like bird feeders and houses at good prices.
Homemade Food Heaven! Definitely the best little country store for canned goods, preserves, jams, jellies and pie. Made here at this farm. Plus all the wooden crafts you need. My recommendation is the Sandwich Spread and and Snitz Pie. Also has space for bus and RV parking. Bring a storage box or two.
Perfect little stop: Delicious soft pretzels @ excellent price (we got 6 for $10), various animals that children can feed (well kept with plenty of room to roam), pretty scenery, playground, local items in shop, clean bathroom. Highly recommend.
I made just a quick stop on my way by. Delicious soft pretzels! I do hope to go back to browse the very nice little market.
The best soft pretzel Ive ever had. The gift shop there had so much to offer. In my opinion this location has better gifts and products than what you get in the town. The owner gave me permission to record on the property so I will be posting a video on the LivingFree365 YouTube channel.
The best soft pretzel Ive ever eaten! Their lemonade and apple cider were also delicious. All the handmade wooden and quilted items were well made and reasonably priced.
Best pretzels and really good butter at the store. good brooms too. good enough to last a life time.
Absolutely wonderful. We passed by during an Amish tour and returned 2 more times during our short stay. The bread and sticky buns were amazing! We also purchased eggs, Apple Cider, and Cheese made by locals. Beautiful Amish made toys, we bought trains for our son and quilted books. They have animals that the children can feed bread to and a small playground. I would recommend that everyone that passes by Amish Country go by.
This was my first time meet Amish made foods. The dinner bread is thick and heavy but very soft. I’ve never met such a perfect bread in US. I bought Amish salted roll butter. It was amazing! Flavor comes up to my nose and very creamy and this must be perfect butter ever!!!!! I wish I bought non salted butter for baked sweets...I was dumb.... I cannot find unsalted Amish butter here in NY. If you’re a baking lover, I definitely recommend to buy unsalted.I found another Amish salted butter here but the one in this store has much more flavor and fresh!!!I will return there as soon as possible!!!!
Amazing place. Every time I go to Lancaster I make sure to get a dozen of the pretzels to take home. The lemonade is amazing and I always get some. The shop has a great chocolate pie.
Really surprised at all the gift items here, along with yummy soft pretzels and soft ice cream. Baked goods also sold, nicely packaged for taking home. Quilts, quilted bags and pillows (have you seen a Quillow?), baskets, Amish craft items, and all sorts of clever souvenirs. Also an array of farm animals in the meadow alongside the back porch to feed. Children love this place -- and so do grown ups!
Very glad we stopped!! Best Pretzels Ive ever had! Also we purchased the. Old Fashioned Root Beer and the Ice Coffee and was SSOOO delicious!! Im definitely going back!
A little country store specializing in local food and handicrafts. In the country and off the main road so a beautiful, yet still convenient area. Excellent ice cream and pretzel stand. We were passing through area and wanted to quick light Amish experience, and this totally fit the bill.
Stopped in for pretzels, but was told they were only offered on Fri & Sat. Nothing was suggested as an alternative. In fact, the man there made my husband & I feel like we were a bother just being there, even though it was an hour before closing. We were the only ones in the store too. Prices were higher than another shop nearby. We quickly left.
Great place!stopped here on our scooter tour with Strasburg Scooters. Amazing pretzels and baked goods. Also big selection of bird houses and feeders among many other items. A must stop if in the area.
These homemade cookies and cakes, are so delicious, at reasonably price. The tastes are great. There are lots of other interesting stuffs. People come here to enjoy the authentic Amish cookies. Do not forget to try the ice cream. That is the best I am sure.
Some of the best soft pretzels in Lancaster County...many great Amish goodies and crafts. A must visit
The pretzels and baked goods are fantastic. Also bought some really nice belts at a great price
Adorable gift shop, comfy spots to hang out and have a root beer float (made with homemade root beer!) And to die for homemade soft pretzels. Dont forget to feed the adorable farm animals while youre there!
Looks like the typical roadstand on a back road, but you are in for a huge surprise! Soft pretzels are soft, Buttery, and scrumptious. Hand-squeezed lemonade and ice cold homemade root beer to go along with them. Then a stroll through probably one of the biggest souvenir selections, handmade Amish quilts, Amish leather goods, soaps, candles, baked goods, candy. Etc. Definitely a hidden gem! REMEMBER to walk out back on the porch to see the farm animals, too. And a gorgeous peacock fanning his beautiful tail feathers for the world to admire. Enjoyed our visit here immensely!
Awesome and delicious homemade pretzels
Best pretzels ever, the fresh lemonade is also good.
This is a place everyone visiting the area must stop at and try a few things out. If you purchase one soft pretzel here, you will likely purchase more before you leave or come back for more. They are in the process of being made as you are there. I also tried homemade root beer and ended up buying a jug of it. There is much more to this stop but those are two that I can mention that are a must.
This place is wonderful. They have a beautiful selection of Amish homemade items. Our out-of-town guests love this place. The homemade pretzels are yummy and the Amish there are delightful snd so friendly.
Beautiful place with excellent, homemade, Amish food. Very, very good. Very good prices, comparable to others around, but much more bang for your buck because the quality is much better.
I absolutely love this store, it was recommended to me by my younger sister now and ever since my first visit, I returned as often as I possibly can. It is a far trip from where I live down here in NYC but there pies, pretzels, lemonade and homemade remedies are divine. this shop is perfect Anna has a little bit of everything you could possibly need from food to quilts and even story books for children. This location is a must see if you are in the neighborhood
Great sugar pretzels and lemonade. Kidd loved the animals and playground. Bathrooms available as well.
Beautiful, Great shopping too! Enjoy!!
Lots of delicious homemade foods and all kinds of handcrafted items. Absolutely the best soft pretzels on the planet!
Absolutely the most amazing soft pretzels I have ever tasted. Excellent milkshake and, though I didnt have any, it was said the root beer was outstanding to some who normally do not enjoy it.
Came to visit Amish country from Phoenix and in my quest for locally made goods this place was the mother lode! It is a roadside store/snack bar that from what I see is ran by 2 or 3 Amish families in a very beautiful location. Check out the painted wood saws, hand crafted quilts and linens and a host of baked goods. Dont miss whats in the little refrigerated section by the door...YUM! Was happy to spend a fortune here for the real deal...look forward to coming back on my next trip.
Good variety. Beautiful painting on unusual surfaces. Love reusing rather than discarding. Will try the soft pretzels next time.
Any time Im going on a get-away to Lancaster, I have requests for Amish baked goods. Its the best! My favorite Amish dessert are woopie pies and nowhere elses are nearly as good! The pretzels are delicious as well! I also love all the natural soaps!
Amish owned and operated.Their pretzel felt like melted butter and yes, it was good.
Good selection of locally made items. Delicious baked goods, and the best fresh soft pretzels Ive ever had.
The crafts are beautiful and priced wonderful. The pretzels are the best I have ever had! A must do in Lancaster
The absolute best pretzels in the world! Just look at that line.
If you dont stop here you should be arrested for a crime. My wife and I are back on good terms after we got her pretzels from here. Im taking a nap in a sec after having a chocolate milk shake and finishing my daughters root beer float (dont tell her it was me)
The absolute BEST hand-made Amish soft pretzels! Great store with crafts beside it!
I love this place. I bring my tour groups here all the time. Best pretzles around. Very friendly staff.
Many items are handmade. They are a bit pricey. We went to have fresh made pretzels, but they werent making them that day.
Visited this roadside stand that is run by the Amish people of Lancaster County, PA. The soft pretzels were amazing and the store had a lot of food items and crafts prepared by the Amish at reasonable prices.
The homemade soft pretzels are the best! Also homemade root beer and lemonade. Prices are very reasonable, and the animals are fun to watch.
Bought their Traffic Jam jam and Strawberry Rhubarb jam. Fresh cooked pretzels are good too.
Always stop there for pretzels whenever in Lancaster
Always make a stop here when I visit Lancaster. They have great ice great and snacks.
Great place to visit with the kids. Animals and ice cream. What else can they ask for. Plus the views are pretty impressive.
Best Pretzels I have ever had....Breathe fresh air, do some shopping, enjoy ice-cream, milkshakes etc.. and just relax on the front porch....kids loved it, they feed some chickens, rabbits and deer....
Great little shop with amazing soft pretzels and Lemonade. One of our favorite Saturday treats
Lots of items to choose from and a good selection of each. They have jellies and jams, Quillows, aprons, windmills, yard art made from horseshoes, hot pretzels, etc. And the prices are very reasonable.
We come every month to the same Airbnb and always return for the pretzels , omg so delicious
My piece of heaven. Enough said. Pretzels are amazing.

Fun place to stop when youre in Amish country. Stopped here on a tour and picked up some amazing snacks. The food is very reasonably priced.
Was a great stop. Cheap. Good home cooked feel. You dont leave hungry. And they stay open kinda late, which is not always the case around here. Id recommend a visit.

2022-05-14CASH ONLY.This is THE place to stop at if you ever visit Lancaster PA!!! They serve amazingly yummy hand rolled pretzels at $2.50 each. They come in 3 flavors (original, cinnamon sugar, and sour cream). I recommend one of each because they are ALL delicious!!! They offer cheese and mustard dip for 50¢ but the pretzels dont need dip because theyre so good. They also serve soft serve ice cream and hot fudge sundaes. Both also good but damn those pretzels are the BAIT! I tried their root beer float and it was good too. Lemonade was alright, nothing special. All their prices are decently low too. Definitely a great stop after visiting some farms. The pretzels are all that matter honestly.When ordering, be sure to remember what you ordered and account for it. The one lady who was serving us almost forgot 2 of our items until we reminded her. I dont blame her because there was a rush but just something to be mindful of.

2022-06-21Best pretzels EVER!We went here on a bus tour and it was so good that we went back again. The pretzels melt in your mouth. The gift shop has wonderful gifts. You have to go here! The root beer is also good if you like the strong, bitter Amish Root Beer taste!

2020-11-21I went here just for the CBS oils and body creams to help my body feel better. My fiance and I were greeted with the cutest barnyard animals that you can feed and the sweetest Amish people inside the store. The man working there had some good knowledge about the CBD products and recommended 2 different items for my arthritis. I have been using the ointment on my joints and dropping the oil in my hot tea every day. Both are excellent products! And for just a dollar you can feed the animals in back of the store day-old bread and just sit on the peaceful back deck and take in the landscape.

2021-09-16Hands down the best place in Lancaster County to buy soft pretzels!!!I go here many, many times throughout the summer and they have excellent iced coffee in bottles inside the store. Great place for a summertime snack and a little taste of Amish country. This place is owned and operated by a local Amish family. Oh, and very yummy coffee milkshakes!!!
