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.

I love coming here, there’s something for everyone:healthy snacks, candy, tea, ingredients for baking, even wedding favors and the prices are very reasonable. very fresh, too. my gummy butterflies couldn’t be fresher, so soft and flavorful. The colors or the many candies in the dispensers on the walls make it a visual party.

For those that enjoy flea markets, a down to earth atmosphere, and plenty of variety then the GD is for you. Only open Fridays, it's best to arrive as early as possible before the crowds arrive. Plenty of parking followed by plenty of walking, you will come across baked goods, food, antiques, furniture, produce, video games & hard to find items all around a spacious area. There's nothing fancy about the GD, but the variety around you is enough to do some comparison shopping, as prices will vary, especially with the produce & baked items. That's not to say there isn't quality here, all the produce & baked items are done by the Amish & local farmers, and worth bringing coolers along for that alone. The furniture is hand made as well, solidly built from birdhouses to dining room sets. There is no wheeling & dealing here however, prices are set & are pretty fair. You will also see antiques & items not seen in stores in years, treasures from the past at decent prices, & in decent condition. The folks are friendly for the most part, and families coming thru for a visit would do well to at least see the GD once, especially for those that enjoy this type market atmosphere.

I always stop here when visiting Adamstown Pa. It is a small shop where everything is displayed nicely and the owners are very friendly.
