Backroads Cafe & Dairy Bar

Backroads Cafe & Dairy Bar

A casual roadside cafe and dairy bar in Greentown, PA, and a favorite stop near Promised Land State Park. Sandwiches, soft-serve, and classic diner fare make it an easy in-and-out stop before or after a day of hiking, and the dairy bar side is a natural reward for kids (or adults) after a long trail. It's unpretentious by design, and that's exactly its appeal for a group headed to or from the park.

The menu sits squarely in cafe-and-American territory, and prices are at the low end of the scale — which makes it a practical choice when you're feeding a family or a whole carload of friends rather than planning a night out. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly throughout, so nobody needs to change out of hiking clothes or worry about restless kids.

Plan it as a quick lunch, an early dinner, or a straightforward ice cream stop on the drive back from Promised Land — it works for all three.

Hours, menus and prices change. Call ahead or check the venue's own site before you go.
