Food: This is a lovely tearoom, very beautiful, cozy and most welcoming, including the pretty gardens. Our Red Hat ladies enjoyed the Cream Tea very much, the poppy seed dressing on the salad was wonderful. Also, the peach cake dessert was yummy and not too filling or sweet. We will certainly make this a favorite for our tea time outings!! Thank you for your gracious hospitality. |

Food: This was my first time and the atmosphere was lovely. They were out of a couple of teas that we chose so that was disappointing but we understood. The veggie soup was great and the Ambrosia fruit salad was wonderful. We also felt that there were too many cream cheese sandwiches, even though I loved the Salsa one. Dessert was excellant, I had the Peanut Butter cake. Over all our experience was pleasant and the gardens were just beautiful. Bonnie was a wonderful hostess and her girls did a great job. |

Rose,It was a delight having your Red Hat Group. We look forward to your return. We do keep over 75 teas in our kitchen and am sorry that several of those teas had lemon as one of the ingredients. Your lady that had the lemon allergy seemed to like wild strawberry. As to the cream cheese sandwiches, I again apologize to your lady that was allergic to dairy products. Please when you come see us again let us know of any allegeries as we do try to accommodate everyone. Thanks again for your comments. Bonnie |

Food: WOW! What a wonderful and pleasant experience! Everything about Front Porch is perfect! Outside seating, gardens, indoor (airconditioned!) beautiful decor of tea items and antiques and pictures of the area in by gone days. Hats galore to wear if you do not have your own! Bonnie is an amazing hostess/owner and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The rooibos and mojito tea was fantastic, the ambrosia fruit salad was like dessert-yummy! The scones and clotted cream were absolutely wonderful. Bluberry soup-are you sure it was not dessert? They even provided sandwhiches for my young niece who is somewhat food picky and she is already asking to go back again! There were so many types and flavors of tea to choose from, I must go back to try some more! Thanks again so much for such a pleasant time. |

They had no idea what to expect and was totally blown away by the decor, gardens, friendly service and outstanding food menu. Today my supervisor and I went or high tea and thorought emjoyed the rooibos mojito that we even asked if Bonnie had a to-go cup, It was that good that we couldn't get enougth of it and wanted more. The black cherry chilled soup was sooooo smooth and divine and the toasted almost scones were hevenly. We enjoyed ourselves so much we've made a reservation for the the Italian Night in the Garden, coming up soon. We can't wait to go back. I'll be a regular for a long time to come. Great job, Bonnie. |

Food: Having been to many tearooms in southcentral PA, I did not have any expectations except good food and pleasant atmosphere. The Front Porch Tea room certainly provided that. While the decor/table settings were traditinal/formal, we were quite comfortable in our more casual attire and were not bombarded with excess conversation. The food was excellent, I especially enjoyed the cold cherry soup. It was nice to have a light/hardy option in both the soups and the dessert as my friend and I could then taste both. The outside landscape was beautiful - making me wish I lived closer and could come to one of the Thursday evening events. The only thing that could be a negative for some people is the lack of tea variety. There were two choices but both were quite good. |

In reply to the variety of teas, when we have a very busy day (50 - 100 people) we always offer 2 teas, however we have over 70 teas in the kitchen and would be most happy to prepare any other tea for you. I do hope you return and please ask for the tea list. Thanks again, Bonnie |

Food: I went along with a group who I thought would be fun, despite the 'tea party' motif, and I was COMPLETELY won over! I didn't know what to expect, I don't really like hot tea, and I'm a really picky eater, but this place was awesome! The cinnamon vanilla tea was fantastic, the four cheese and creme brulee scones were excellent, the tortellini soup was great and I understand that everything else was enjoyable, as well! The service was very friendly and while the decor was victorian and flowery, it was also comfortable - not stuffy. I am now planning my daughter's next birthday party for this location and we can't wait! I highly recommend The Front Porch Tea Room for a fun afternoon to catch-up with friends and family!!! |

Food: I visited the Front Porch Tea Room a few weeks ago with my mom for mothers day and we had a wonderful experience. The 6 different courses that they offered were above and beyond our expectations. The chilled strawberry soup especially stood out to the two of us. It is not very often you come across chilled soup and after a little hesitation to try it we were blown away with how delicious it was. The service that we got during our visit was top notch. It was nice to be able to relax and feel like our servers truly enjoyed what they were doing. In addition we were pleasantly surprised by the little extras we received with our tea for mothers day like chocolate covered strawberries and a tea themed pin. After our amazing meal we enjoyed looking at all the unique items that were in the gift shop and even buying some! Last we got to walk around outside and enjoy the beautiful gardens. Overall it was a perfect day and my mom and I will definately come back as well as recommend others to come for tea! |

Food: Fabulous! We just loved the Snowflake Tea! Perfect for a 'chance of snow' day in February. We were thrilled to finally visit The Front Porch, having heard so many nice things about it. These ladies lived up to our expectations, and then some. Delicious from the start, each course was presented with full explanation and in a timely fashion. The poppy seed salad dressing was amazing. The chocolate scones - well, I could smell them coming and they tasted just as good. Yum! A variety of flavors that played sweetly on our tastebuds. We will have to return in the Spring or Summer, when the flowers are in bloom. |

Food: Can not say enough good things about the Front Porch. I am in a tea group that visits a tea room once a month and when it is our birthday we get to choose the one we want to go to and I always go back to the Front Porch for mine. It is by far my favorite. The atmosphere is inviting, the dining area is immmaculate, the food is superb with six courses and you even get a choice of soup and dessert. Love It! Love It! |

Joyce,Thank you so much for your comments. Apparently you were here on a very busy day. When we are extremely busy we offer 2 different teas, however we have over 75 other teas available. On days where we have less than 30 people at one time we do let the parties pick their own teas. Hopefully you will return an please request the tea list even on a busy day. My staff is always willing to accommodate. Thanks again. |

Food: Front Porch was an excellent tea experience. The 6 course High Tea was deliciously satisfying. Their pumpkin soup was my favorite of all, it was the best soup I've had in a long time. The Victorian atmosphere topped the experience and was very inviting. The ladies who served us were wonderful hosts. I look forward to visiting the Front Porch again soon. |
