We first visited this restaurant last year when they were new to tea. They have gained experience. The menu for our tea will be similar to the one on the website and it does include the soup option. (See the menu here.) November is a good time of year to do Christmas shopping and there are many stores close to the Inn. If you want to take in a Christmas show, the American Music Theater is 1/4 mile up the road. You can make reservations and take in the 3 p.m. show. And, you might want to stay overnight at the Inn and explore Lancaster County.
