🌞 A Delightful Day in Pennsylvania
Today was the kind of day that just felt good from start to finish—beautiful weather, great company, and small-town charm at its finest.
🍪 Morning at Stouffer’s Cookie Outlet
We kicked off our adventure at the beloved Stouffer’s Cookie Outlet. Stepping inside was like walking into a cookie lover’s dream—bins and racks filled with fresh, fragrant cookies in every flavor imaginable. We left with bags full of goodies—ginger snaps , animal crackers , soft oatmeal raisin, and a few seasonal surprises we couldn’t resist. The staff was friendly, and the smell alone made the visit worth it.
🍽️ Lunch in Hallam, PA – The Front Porch Tea Room
Next, we made our way to the quaint town of Hallam, Pennsylvania for lunch at the charming Front Porch Tea Room. Nestled in a beautifully restored home, we dined inside, where the décor felt like stepping back into a more elegant, unhurried time.
I have to give a shout out to our server, Lydia, was absolutely wonderful—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made us feel welcomed and well cared for from the moment we sat down.
Lunch was light, fresh, and just what we wanted. We enjoyed a medley of tea sandwiches, each one delicious and delicately prepared. A chilled seasonal soup was served alongside a crisp garden salad, beautifully dressed and bursting with flavor. And of course, no tea room visit is complete without dessert—a homemade slice of heaven that ended the meal on a perfect note.
Before leaving we strolled through the beautiful garden and took individual photos underneath the trellis with flowers blooming all around 🌸🪻🌷
🛍️ Finishing the Day at Brown’s Market
We wrapped up the day with a visit to Brown’s Market, a local gem full of fresh produce, baked goods, jams, and other handmade items. We grabbed some fruit, fresh bread, and a few little treats to bring the day’s magic home with us.
