Road-tripping is the perfect way to explore Pennsylvania. However, we don’t always have time for a road trip or even a day trip. What do we do, then, when we’re short on time but suffering from a bout of wanderlust? We go on a short but sweet Pennsylvania adventure that features a whole lot of deliciousness and an abundance of natural beauty.
Start your epic Pennsylvania adventure with some of the most delicious made-from-scratch goodies you’ll find anywhere. Achenbach’s Pastries in Leola has been a favorite since 1954.

Achenbach’s is perhaps best known for its Long Johns, and they’re a must-try, no matter what else you order. You might even be lucky enough to run into Johnny the Long John, the bakery’s mascot, when you visit.

Choose from such mouthwatering flavors as chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, or vanilla coconut Long Johns. Or since they’re that good, why not grab one of each?

That’s just the beginning of the deliciousness that awaits. Achenbach’s Pastries also serves made-from-scratch donuts, pies, turnovers, cakes, cupcakes, and eclairs. Don’t forget to grab a whoopie pie, a Pennsylvania favorite.
