Dining & Shopping

Downtown Lititz is a foodie’s dream. You’ll find cozy cafes, upscale restaurants, and everything in between. Grab a breakfast sandwich and a latte at Dosie Dough before starting your day, or enjoy classic pub fare and a pint at Bulls Head Public House—regularly voted one of the best beer bars in the country. For something more refined, KōLE Chophouse is a go-to for special dinners and celebrations.

Forget the big box stores—here, you’ll browse through independent boutiques, handmade goods, and unique gift shops. Don’t miss a stop at the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery (yes, the first commercial pretzel bakery in America!) or Wilbur Chocolate Market, where the scent of fresh chocolate is impossible to resist.
