So, with not so much cooperation from SD cards, computers, and email, and with thanks to Picasa web albums, here is a delayed post on Mamie's....
Mamie's Cafe and Bakery is named in honor of the owner's grandmother, Mamie Teeter, who worked owned the Teeter Hotel and Restaurant. The Hotel used to sit on the lot adjacent to the current location of the restaurant and bakery, and a mural painted on the side of the building pays homage to the original, much as the baked goods inside are a tribute to Karen Wyland's grandmother.
Central PA favorites include monkey bread log, gobs, pies and home-made doughnuts. Breakfast is a real treat, especially if you choose to have fresh ground and brewed coffee and an Almond Joy doughnut.
On this occasion (and many others) I had my favorite - French toast, stuffed with sweetened cream cheese, topped with strawberries, pineapple and blueberries. Nom nom!
MJ is a skeptic, and not likely to take our word for yumminess until he experiences it for himself. He was surprised by the baked goods, lavishly displayed as you walk in the door, interested in the menu, and weirded out by picking out his own coffee cup and getting his own ice water. Also by the fact that I told him that the motto of the day is "Eat and Get the Hell Out" because the tables fill up quickly, and other people are waiting to taste the goodness, too.
He ordered "The Big One". He got it. 3 eggs, 2 pancakes, bacon, sausage, rye toast and no skimping on portions. He's now a believer.
Both plates are his.
Ethan got his favorite, a half-order of chocolate chip pancakes. A half-order is IN order, because of the size of the pancakes. When a tween-age boy can only eat two, you know they're big.
Meg got the special:
Reindeer Pancakes with Bacon Antlers! So cute.
Make a trip out - you will not be disappointed!
