A coffee and dessert date is the best kind of date!

There’s a lot of pressure when you’re planning a special occasion like a first date. It’s tricky to know what will be the best place to set the perfect tone for your date, especially if the person is new in your life. You don’t want it to be too romantic but not romantic enough. You certainly don’t want to cause any tension or discomfort on the first date. The ultimate goal of a first date is to have good conversations in order to get to know the person a little better so you can determine if there’s a connection. Therefore, the location and setting of your date are KEY. Coffee shops are generally the safest choice for a first date.

Pocono Dessert Co. is an excellent place to bring anyone to enjoy quality time together. If you’re trying to plan a date for someone special, then we can help! Here are five reasons why Pocono Dessert Co. is the best place for your next first date.

Calm and Laid Back Environment

Pocono Dessert Co. is a low-pressure environment that can make for the perfect first date, anniversary, or special occasion. Our coffee shop is spacious with seating of picnic tables and adorable rustic decor. You simply order at the counter and find yourself somewhere to sit. We have spent a lot of time and dedication in creating a cute and calm environment for people to relax and unwind.

Sweet Food and Drinks

Our sweet treats are always on display at the front counter. You can spice up your date by choosing some desserts to taste test and share with one another. At PDC, there is no rush! Feel free to lose track of time, and order food and drinks during your date as you’d like. We’re happy to have you here enjoying the food, drinks, and space we have created for people to enjoy.

Our Awards and Recognitions

We have earned a few awards since our business opened. The Pocono Record awarded us with awards in both 2021 and 2022: the Best New Business Award, Best Bakery, Best Dessert, Best Local Coffee Shop, and Best Wedding Cake Shop Award. We also earned the Best New Business in the Poconos in the 2022 Pocono Chamber of Commerce Bizzy Awards. We’re so proud of our achievements! Our awards can be viewed on our website here.

Reasonably Priced

First dates can be expensive, but they don’t have to be! There’s no need to spend a ton of money during a first date. Sipping on high-quality coffee and eating fresh-baked desserts is ten times better for a first date than any fancy, overpriced restaurant. We offer excellent food and drink options at an extremely fair and reasonable price!

Location

If you’re truly vibing with your date then you don’t have to end your date with us! Luckily we’re located in an area with so much to do. After you’ve finished your coffee and desserts you can head out to explore the wonderful Poconos. Right across the road from our shop is Splinters' Hatchet & Axe Throwing. If you and your date are feeling adventurous then ax throwing might be the place to go. Another fun idea is an escape room. Five minutes up the road is Big Screen Escapes. If you’ve never had an escape room experience then this would be a good time to try it out!

Pocono Dessert Co. is the spot for your next date! You can either make a quick stop or hang out for a while. Our coffee shop is spacious and complemented by tasteful music. It’s a really great place to be no matter what the occasion. If you’re ever in the Poconos area, come check us out! We’re located at 2185 Route 611 in Swiftwater, PA.
