Handcrafted Casual Cuisine, Baked Goods and Ice Cream

Whether you're looking for a light meal, a loaf of fresh-baked bread, a specialty coffee drink or something to satisfy your sweet tooth, you'll find it at the Bird-in-Hand Bakery & Cafe.

Our cafe menu includes delicious handcrafted sandwiches, crisp salads, soups, smoothies and delectable desserts – all made with care from high-quality ingredients. We use all-natural, antibiotic-free chicken, local meats and produce grown on nearby farms whenever possible – including our home-grown fruits and vegetables in season.

A good example of homegrown is our pumpkin products, like pumpkin pies, bread, rolls, whoopie pies and ice cream. They are made with pumpkins picked directly from our on-site pumpkin patch.

If you're craving homemade ice cream in Lancaster County, be sure to savor a scoop of our premium artisan ice cream made on our premises with local fruits, all-natural flavorings and even some stir-ins from our own bakery.

Our bakery has been in business for generations. We still make many of our baked goods from scratch, including some from Grandma Smucker's original recipes. We're famous for wet-bottom shoofly pies, whoopie pies, giant apple fritters, pumpkin pies, birthday cakes, donuts, and other Pennsylvania Dutch favorites. We're also known throughout Lancaster for wedding cakes, cookies, pastries, specialty seasonal breads (pumpkin bread, etc), and creatively hand-decorated cakes for every occasion.

Have a hungry crowd? We'll cater to your group of 10 or more. More information about catering.

Whether you're exploring Amish Country or you live or work nearby, remember the Bird-in-Hand Bakery & Cafe for breakfast, lunch, a light supper, coffee break, dessert, and much more!

One of the only "fast casual" restaurants in this area for those looking for a quick bite rather than a sit down meal. Menu is not huge but everything is always so fresh and delicious! I stop here... every time I'm in the area. read more

The coconut cake was good but tasted than usual the honey bun was good but most of the icing melted off. This is a very nice bakery but I seem to have a hard time finding carrot cake and apple pie... but that won't stop me from stopping again. read more

we went here everyday for breakfast on our vacation in lancaster. i got the veggie hummus wrap. i really liked it. i didn't love the each time i got it, it had a different amount of sauce. the first... time i got the wrap, it barely had any hummus. and the second time i got it, it had way too much hummus and no balsamic vinegar. so i guess it depends on who makes it. the iced coffee here is very good though. nice and nutty. the whoopie pies are also very good. there's also a playground and mini zoo next to here. i'm not sure if it's a part of the cafe, but it's very nice. read more
