Glenwood Foods Cafe in Ephrata Township

Inside Glenwood Foods Cafe

Glenwood Foods Cafe is a cozy spot tucked inside the Glenwood Foods grocery store in Ephrata Township. It fits the casual side of cafes where locals swing by for a satisfying meal without the fuss of a full restaurant experience. The cafe’s seating area is modest but well-maintained, offering a straightforward, no-frills environment where you can focus on your food or a quick catch-up.

Visitors often stop in for lunch or breakfast, with the menu leaning heavily on hearty sandwiches, fresh-cut fries, and comfort snacks like soft pretzels and large whoopie pies. You can watch your meal being prepared thanks to the open kitchen setup, which adds a down-to-earth feel and provides a nice bit of transparency about meal freshness. This is a place where the food seems made to order rather than reheated.

The crowd here is a mix of grocery shoppers, town residents grabbing a quick weekday meal, and families enjoying affordable, homey fare. The vibe is quietly busy during peak lunch hours on weekdays, but there is usually enough seating even when it’s bustling. The service tends to be friendly and efficient, which suits those who want a solid meal without waiting too long.

If you’re looking for a straightforward cafe experience with a focus on comfort food — like a well-seasoned smokehouse burger or a chicken bacon ranch sandwich — this is an easy place to fit into your day. Early mornings and lunch breaks seem to be the sweet spots, especially if you like your breakfast classics served with a bit of neighborly interaction. Glenwood Foods Cafe doesn’t aim for sophistication, but it delivers reliably good, familiar dishes within a local grocery store setting.

We had the chicken cordon blue, smokehouse burger, and chicken bacon ranch sandwiches, and each one was 5 star! Incredibly tasty! This place is definitely a hidden gem, we'll be back!

Stopped in to grab a quick lunch and greatly enjoyed it! I had a chicken bacon ranch sandwich and a really hot and fresh order of french fries. Reasonable prices, as well. Recommended!

This Cafe is located in the back of the Glenwood foods grocery store. You can access it through either store entrance. I was surprised how full it was on a Thursday noon, but there was still seating available. They have a surprisingly robust menu for a little cafe, and affordable prices. Lots of sandwich options, soup, soft pretzels, ice cream, and the hugest whoopie pies ever. Their popcorn chicken salad was fantastic and my friends chicken bacon ranch on a crescent was large and tasty. I hope to try more of their items.

This is a great cafe! They are located inside of Glennwoods foods, and they make the food right in the open so you can see it. They are quick to make orders, super nice service, and the dining area is kept very clean. Their smokehouse burger is my absolute favorite. And my husband loves all things breakfast. We grab something to eat here fairly often and have never been disappointed. It can get a bit busy at certain times where the tables are full, but most times we have been able to dine in!
