We have gone there for over thirty years. I cannot say enough about Das Dutchman Essenhaus. From the food to accommodations it is definitely worth every moment of the peace of heaven. Guaranteed relaxation even on flea market Tuesday and Wednesdays. ❤❤❤❤❤
The Texas star pattern quilt is different than what i’ve seen. I do know that different parts of the country call patterns different names. It was beautiful.
I lived in Middlebury Indiana for a few years my daughter loved Essenhaus every time she came for a visit she wanted the meatloaf. We also liked Rise and Roll located between Middlebury and Shipshewana.
I have to add on to my post love the Village Inn restaurant in Middlebury especially their rhubarb custard pie or coconut cream pie haven't been back for 6 years but always one of my favorite stops when visiting my daughter who lived in Goshen.
I have been there with my family the buffet was delicious and each one of us got what we wanted. We loved walking around the shop and took goodies home with us.
When we lived in Indiana many years ago, we went to the Essen Haus several times when family came to visit. Such great, plentiful food!! It looks like it has expanded a lot since then. I grew up Mennonite and will definitely subscribe to your channel.
Lol.....oh Beth, I think I gained 10lbs just from watching this hunger enducing delicious video😂😂😂. I just adore the history in your videos. Just a lovely video. Thank you always for sharing your fantastic experiences. Love and hugs from Canada 🇨🇦
Das Dutchman Essenhaus = The German Eating House. I really like this place. Good food and I love the huge filled long johns. Worked there many years ago making and packing the noodles, salad dressings, cookies, and angel food cakes.
Good Morning Debbie, loved your video about the Das Essenhaus Resturant & their bakery. I live close to Middlebury, & have been there , maybe 8 times. Love their buffet, some of the time; I would have to take one of their wonderful pies home. Debbie & Dave have a GREAT DAY!!
I bike ride the Pumpkin Vine trail from Shipshewana to Essenhaus and have coffee and a piece of their delicious rhubarb cream pie. Then bike ride back to Shipshe😂it’s my favorite way to spend a summer afternoon.
Oh my that place looks amazing and those deserts! I have a serious sweet tooth and those donuts and pies got me craving that. I would live to visit that place one day, looks yummy 😋
These shops get better every time!!! What an amazing bakery, those pies look sooooo good! Can't wait for the summer shop videos! Thank you for the tour! Stay safe and warm!!!🙌😊
My favorite place to visit each year. I LOVE their Resturant. Everything is Delicious. My favorite is their Roast Beef. I love their Shops, and their Inn.
Oh I Love the shoefly pies. I do love their whooppy pie especially their Pumpkin. They have the nicest Bakery and Restaurants. If you come away hungry it is your fault. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Amish Bakery and Restaurant with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed Evening and Stay Safe my dear Friend.
I'm so excited I remember going to the Amish country in Pennsylvania it was so much fun I love all their baked goods cannot wait to see it all thank you for showing us
@@MyIndianaHome I have had that donut. However, my favorite donut is their peanut butter/chocolate one. I have been hearing things about Titus Bakery in Lebanon, and it's been on my bucket list of places to visit whenever I get to it.
Been to the Essenhaus many many ( too many, lol) times over the years, as we had a summer place in Angola. As we’ve gotten older, and no longer have the summer place, The Blue Gate is more to our liking. Of course, it’s also just a thinly veiled excuse to visit the Davis Hotel, and stock up on fabric from Lolly’s.
OK Beth, now I'm hungry for their maple frosted walnut cookies 😂. Those are my absolute favorite!! And my favorite pie has to be the raspberry cream 😋. Thanks for another great video! Take care!
@@MyIndianaHomea nice hot cup of coffee and one of those long johns would have been amazing this morning while we're snowed in and everything is closed 😁. I'm so over snow and winter 🥶❄️ lol. I see the weather is supposed to be warmer next week YAY!! Maybe I'll be taking a road trip Middlebury for some donuts and cookies 🤔. Stay warm!!
Omg.. lived in berrien springs michigan for two yrs 40 yrs ago...school..well I traveled to amish area in n.indiana and bought antiques and talked to amish...there life in those big white farmhouses and farms... inspired my life
I just joined your channel and am really enjoying it. I am originally from the Cincinnati area, but did not know much about the Amish in Indiana. I will have to stop at some of these places the next time I am driving through. Did you notice if the bakery had any sugar free cookies or pies? The bakery looked so neat and tidy. Actually, all the stores do.
Oooo! I just happened upon your channel and this video! And hit the subscribe button! My grams has a Amish cookbook (I can’t remember the author’s name at the moment she had a show on the PBS channel years ago grams said) anyway my grams makes pretty much everything in that book & I’ve copied the book cover to cover. I can’t wait to binge watch your other posts! Thank you for sharing 💖
My husband's best friends ex-wife has run the restaurant there for many many years. They're food, desserts & the peanut butter pie is very good but my mennonite grandmothers cooking/baking was much better than the Essenhaus's of course lol
I will have to look into that! I just got my channel back up. Just seen this comment. Sorry Im so late! I will let you know what I find out. You take care!
Oh my goodness. Everything looks so delicious! Thank you for the awesome video. Stay warm my friend. ❤

We have ate there several times for Thankgiving weekends, my daughter lives in Syracure, In. Just about 20 minute drive from there. Always delicious.

Yes Rise and Roll is awesome
The Das Dutchman Essenhaus is located on US 20 on the west side of Middlebury near Northridge High School.
I've always wanted to go to a Amish town! I have a rug from there my daughter bought me when she visited her friend in Indiana.

One of our favorite!!❤️
Fun fact: das Dutchman Essenhaus means *the German food house* in German
The best food in the country! ❤❤
They make a black raspberry pie (in season) that you would gladly combat a bus load of nuns to get a slice of.
Your so lucky to live there.
My favorite place to visit each year. I LOVE their Resturant. Everything is Delicious. My favorite is their Roast Beef. I love their Shops, and their Inn.
Yes use to eat there years ago. Big pies!
Oh, I love this place!! We have been there many times and enjoy it so much!! Their bread stuffing in the dining room is so wonderful!!

My favorite place, The Blue Gate in Shipshewana is 2nd. The breakfast buffet is amazing.
Oh that all looks delicious! I've always wanted to visit Amish Country. One day I'll get there.
Would like to visit the Amish Farm!
I've visited the Rise N Roll Amish bakery a few times and their donuts and cinnamon rolls are bomb!

Hello from Washington State!!😁👍👋💐💐💐
The desserts ....omg! 😋
@@MyIndianaHome I know they do! 😄
The food is quality made food scratch cooked food. Comfort food. Everything looks so good, I buy as many pies as I could and freeze them.
@@MyIndianaHome that sounds like a good plan 😊💚
Showing the menus and the buffet would greatly enhance your video.
We been there food is excellent .
That shop makes me want to move their. I'd really be fluffy then.
Sounds similar to Shady Maple in Pennsylvania
I've been there years ago.
To taste a Zinns Strawberry pie again!
I only buy essenhaus noodles They are the best
Mhmm! Maple frosted angel cream donuts are the very best and biggest round donuts in the area!
@@MyIndianaHome belly ache big
I work there
me too
What is a prepper?
My husband's best friends ex-wife has run the restaurant there for many many years. They're food, desserts & the peanut butter pie is very good but my mennonite grandmothers cooking/baking was much better than the Essenhaus's of course lol
Is there any amish place around Nebraska?
I will have to look into that! I just got my channel back up. Just seen this comment. Sorry Im so late! I will let you know what I find out. You take care!
