Excellent subs. Very soft rolls and made to order.Baked goods looked very tempting. Garden center was beautiful.Employees very friendly. Small store and most likely could get crowded peak hours. Mentioned this was our first time there and they gave us our choice of small fruit bread. will return again.

We have been following the owner and the start up of Gameseum for over a year and FINALLY... It’s HERE!!! I can’t even begin to list all the cool arcade games and pinball machines here - go check it out! The owners are so friendly and truly love what they are doing. Our family first visited last Saturday and purchased an hour pass for each of us (3). The hour flew by - we were having so much fun! We decided to go back Sunday and purchase and all day pass for each of us. It truly is worth the money for the all day pass - as long as you keep your wristband on, you can come and go as you please for that entire business day! My family is so happy to have Gameseum close by! We will be back again soon!! Thank you for brining this to our area!!

One of America's earliest religious communities, the Historic Ephrata Cloister was founded in 1732 by German settlers seeking spiritual goals rather than earthly rewards. Gathered in unique European style buildings, the community consisted of celibate Brothers and Sisters, and a married congregation of families.At the zenith of the community in the 1740s and 1750s, about 300 members worked and worshiped at the Cloister. Today, the National Historic Landmark is open for tours, special programs, and on-going research opportunities.

New to area from the South. Took my husband and we had a terrific time. The students were EXCELLENT! They said tour was shorter this year due to fewer volunteers. I sincerely hope the kids don’t ever stop providing the tour!
