This is one of the neatest places in the area. I'm so glad they reopened, but I do miss the original sausage, egg, and cheddar crossiant with garlic aioli that I used to get. The sandwich was bigger, the sausage was a patty and not links, and the price was about $3 cheaper if I remember correctly. I can't afford most of the new prices there anymore to go as often as I used to go, and you have to be strategic in how you order a drink, as well, or else it adds up quick (ex. mixing flavors/alternative milk). I also wish that they had more gluten-free options. Apart from that, it's a pretty environment, and I appreciate that the coffee flavors are homemade and the beans they use are high-quality. A lot of times, I get the sense that it's a stressful environment for the workers, and it makes me wonder if it's the people in charge are not setting a good example or being good teachers. It's great that they have a reward system, but I'm not sure everyone knows how to use it, and they don't tend to ask you for your number if placing an order in person. Hopefully, the kinks continue to get worked out, and this place becomes a true blessing for the area. I'd love for them to bring back their special events, and I appreciate that they stay open later than most coffee shops. Definitely go check them out if you're from out of town. The decor inside and out, as well as patio design, is simply the best you'll find in a coffee shop. It serves as a great place for a date or to do...
Read moreLet me start off by saying this is a very beautiful place. Staff is friendly but you're left with not understanding where to order your food. They have 2 different areas where you have to go and order food. At first we thought there were going to be wait staff helping us out. So, we had to ask about 4 different people how we can order. Maybe put some table tent information on how they do things would be beneficial for first timers. Perhaps have everyone order at one location instead of having 2 different menus at 2 different locations.
The food is a little pricey though just for food was over 75 bucks for 4 people (4 sandwiches). I had a cheeseburger and it was really good without ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise. Wife and her friend had the cheese steaks and they were a bit bland. My friend had a sausage sandwich that she really liked.
We went on a Friday night and they had door prizes and Cornhole.
In the pictures you'll see there was a 3 piece jazz band playing. It was actually a good night to unwind.
Now that we are familiar with this place,...
Read moreTonight's dinner was at the Fireside Cafe located at 158 Toddy Drive, East Earl, PA. They're close to the Shady Maple Smorgasbord.
This is a coffee shop with a breakfast, lunch and dessert menu. They serve their lunch menu until closing, so we stopped by for dinner.
I had a bacon chicken ranch salad and my wife had a panini. She seemed to like her sandwich and I really enjoyed my salad. The price was fair and the portion was plenty good for me. I also got a pumpkin spice hot chocolate which was also very good.
I thought that the outdoor seating area was really nice as well. There was a little play area for kids, fountains, etc. The building is connected to a patio furniture store, so it would make sense.
Food was good, servers were friendly, and the atmosphere was very warm...
