Blissful Treats Cafe

01/14/2026

I haven't done an update in a while. Just wanted to let everyone know what is happening.

As you might already know, the new cafe is not happening. At least not in the near future.
However, I did open a food trailer. Currently operating every Friday, 6AM to 4PM. Located at 235 N. Ronks Road, Bird In Hand, PA 17505

We will start with that and see where it takes us. We have many options now, considering that we can be mobile. I will try to keep you informed when I move to other locations. But at this point consider supporting us at our current location.

We are doing a catering job today for Stoney Creek Contractors at the beautiful Bald Eagle Retreat in Snyder County, PA.

This is one of the most heartbreaking updates that I have had to post.

Unfortunately, the cafe will not be happening as planned. This is due to the bank not willing to provide enough financing to do the construction of the new building.

I am not sure which direction we will be taking this as we still have several options. It just won’t be as we dreamed and planned for the past 5 years.
As soon as we have definite plans, you will be seeing another post.

August 2024: The drawings are still being worked on. I did not realize it wouldn’t be simple to just eliminate the second floor.

(April 2024) It looks like we will need to change the building plans in order to reduce the costs. Unfortunately, that will add a couple of months to the project. What keeps me going is all the comments from people who are excited about the cafe.

(March 2024) Now the bank wants a turn at throwing "roadblocks". They say they can't give me the loan amount that I am asking for. Costs have increased more than they are comfortable with. I will now need to look at getting investors to invest the difference or reduce the building size in order to reduce costs. Reducing the building size will eliminate parts of my dream. However, if nobody wants to invest, that will be my last option.

(Feb 2024) WE HAVE OUR BUILDING PERMIT!!! The plan has been approved and we will now start on the construction phase. The builder is working on final paperwork and scheduling the contractors.

(Jan 2024) We are still working on our building permit. While there have been many roadblocks, or as some would say “stones thrown on my path”, in getting my permits for the cafe, I will persevere. This project is something that WILL happen, and though I have been using the soft approach so far, I hope I will not be forced to hire an attorney, to get everything pushed thru legally. This is definitely not what I prefer but I think it was a mistake to not involve one from the beginning.
