    Oakland, Maryland: Heidi's Bakery and Cafe

    Heidi's Menu

    Heidi's Menu

    By Kevin Williams

    Plain-owned restaurants are few and far between and there are many reasons for this.  Other than some Amish that serve in-home meals, Amish-owned restaurants are very rare simply because of the accommodations to technology that are needed.  Still, there are some Amish sisters that run a Starbucks style coffee-shop complete with a drive-thru window in Illinois and there was an Amish-owned full-service restaurant in Nebraska for awhile.  Mennonite-owned restaurants are a bit easier to find.  I highlight many of the restaurants that I am familiar with in my Williams Guide to Amish Country.  The reason I like plain-owned restaurants is that it really gives someone a chance to sample Amish and Mennonite culture through age-old recipes and cooking techniques that can only be tasted in this way.

    I recently discovered one brand new Plain-owned (Mennonite) restaurant, Heidi's Bakery and Cafe,  when I was in Oakland, Maryland.  This is a delightful, out-of-the-way place with indoor and outdoor seating and a full menu.  If you are ever traveling on I-68 in western Maryland you should consider stopping to visit the Amish and Mennonite settlement in Oakland.  It's well worth the drive and put Heidi's Bakery and Cafe on your itinerary for a meal!

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
