Best sticky buns ever! When you frist walk in the owner is friendly and generally caring. Engages you in conversation about small town life, family, friends, and love. Having a seat under the covered pick nick area, the sweet smell of organic farming engulfed your senses after a east coastal early morning drizzle. Warm baked goods that brought back childhood memories of summer days, fall favorites, and holiday fun. As you devoured the sweet and salty, soft, warm buttery sticky bun, the family dogs came and tickled you with thier wet friendly noses. Enjoying the rows of nick nacks, dried flowers, jams, soaps, and honey, all while fresh produce waited for you up at the front check out counter.

I was looking for a hanging spider plant which Grandma’s had, but my eye caught a beautiful hanging beads lampranthus and I bought that instead. Inside of the bakery you will find a variety of homemade Amish goods! Homemade ice cream, raw milk, cheeses, honey, soups, baked goods! Grandma Zook’s is an awesome place and can’t wait to...
Read moreRefused my business because I had my service dog. Turned me and my registered and certified service dog away. I even showed her my proper registration, but to Angie Frame, she didn’t care. I flew from GA to PA on Delta, was approved and passed all proper DOT requirements to fly, yet she turned us away.
