I ordered breakfast trays and well as lunch trays for the morning of my daughter’s wedding. Both the girls and the guys loved everything. The morning we ordered eggs, muffins, bagels and yogurt and fresh fruit. The eggs were awesome. Muffins too! The granola and fresh fruit wonderful!! They had everything packaged and ready to go with serving pieces. I would definitely recommend!! Great job!!
This is my favorite little breakfast/lunch spot in the area. Absolutely. I order too often from here and am never disappointed. I will always favor them. I absolutely love their breakfast items, the pepperjack tomato soup is the best I’ve ever had, and the beef bite is my go to sandwich. Their iced lattes are better than Starbucks in my opinion; I appreciate the cute box and presentation when they wrap my food up. I love the sandwich combo and getting a pickle on the side. Everything is so nostalgic in a sense and you get that mom pop business quality you don’t quite find anywhere else. *chefs kiss*
First time since they first opened that I've been in there, was very surprised.. very nice and quaint little eatery.. iced lattes are to die for! 🤤
Really nice staff at this bakery and all of their pastries were laid out with care!! They had really nice clean bathrooms, a nice menu chalkboard and some nice seats to sit down at!! I would love to come back sometime to try their cupcakes!!!
Super staff. Guaranteed food ordered will be perfect everytime you visit. Great food choices. Great value for the price.
I work close by. If this place ever closes, i'm quitting. I don't want a life without this place. The tomato soup..BANGING! i don't normally like tomato soup but this one has spices and cream and pieces of tomato. im here for it. the breakfast sandwhich....YESSS!
I wish I could tag every sandwich shop in Lancaster, so they could know where the best sandwiches are made. Take notes. I went here on a whim, and let me tell you. The Zesty Jack was unbelievable. My only regret is not buying 3 more to take with me. Their sauce, the cheese, the bread, just absolutely muah. *Chef's Kiss* 10/10. Perfect.
Delicious food we tried on restaurant week! The tomato pepper jack soup was great. If you stop in make sure to try a cupcake with peanut butter frosting it is the perfect light, not too sweet, peanut butter flavor!
This was one of the best little spots I’ve been to with my wife. Customer service was extraordinary and the wraps were out of this world. Thanks for giving us a great experience and great food. We will return.
As a food blogger for A Pinch of Butter, I enjoyed every single bite of my Spicy On Main as well as the cupcakes 🧁. The customer service experience was great and even on my first visit they allowed me to take my time to figure out what I wanted. Since my first visit I now have it delivered from Door Dash and it still arrives hot and delicious.
