Where to Eat at Peddler’s Village

Crème Brulé at Earl’s New American – Peddler’s Village

After strolling and shopping through Peddler’s Village, you’re absolutely going to get hungry and thirsty. But that doesn’t mean you have to get in your car. Peddler’s Village has plenty of food and drink options, whether you’re looking for a sweet treat, a glass of wine, a casual bite, or a full dinner with apps, cocktails, and dessert. Takeout meals are also available from all restaurants and eateries. Spring is also the perfect time to eat outside and there’s plenty of tables available around this scenic property. Here are some of our favorites!

Head to Hart’s Tavern for Cozy Pub Vibes and Delicious Eats

Hart’s Tavern
Rt. 263 and, Street Rd, Lahaska, PA 18931
https://peddlersvillage.com/harts

For a classic, pub experience in Peddler’s Village with a ‘Cheer’s’ kind of vibe, Hart’s Tavern is the place to go for American tavern fare. It’s the kind of place where you feel right at home from the moment you walk in the door.

For Strawberry Month, we had to try their Berry Spring Salad with Shrimp. This refreshing dish featured a perfect balance of fresh flavors and textures, topped with a strawberry-persimmon dressing and even edible flowers. It was almost too pretty to eat… almost.

As someone who’s had their fair share of fish & chips, Hart’s has some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The fish was buttery and perfectly fried, while the “chips” were a unique fusion of something between a French fry and a potato wedge. Perfectly seasoned and deliciously crisp, the smoky onion tartar on the side was the perfect creamy complement.

 💡 TIP: If you happen to visit on a Tuesday, be sure to take advantage of their Cheesesteak Tuesday special – it’s pure comfort food heaven.

YOU. MUST. SAVE. ROOM. FOR. DESSERT. because Hart’s Tavern really knows how to satisfy your sweet tooth. The Tres Leches, with its orange almond sponge cake and strawberry margarita sauce, was the perfect ending to this meal. And the Milk & (Fried) Cookies, served with a vanilla custard dipping sauce might be one of the best desserts we’ve ever had.

Hart’s is open daily from 11 am for lunch and dinner. Arrive here a bit early because this local favorite fills up fast!

Visit Moku-Bowls For Fresh and Healthy Food That’s Big on Flavor

Moku-Bowls

Moku Bowls is the only spot in Peddler’s Village where you can grab variety of healthy and super delicious fresh poké, fruit, yogurt bowls and smoothies that you can customize with a variety of ingredients, toppings and sauces. One bite of a Moku Bowl and you’ll understand exactly why it has a local cult following.

Poké meaning “to slice” or “cut in pieces”, is a native Hawaiian dish traditionally made with bites of marinated raw fish similar to the tartare you’d find on a sushi menu. And while delicious, the poké at Moku goes beyond the raw tuna and salmon bowls. You can also opt for cooked protein options like chicken or marinated tofu.

Don’t miss their Asian style dumplings made with veggies and spices like ginger, garlic, sweet onions, cabbage, and mushrooms and served with a Moku Bowl’s special dumpling sauce for dipping! Choose between their vegan-friendly veggie dumpling or chicken.

If you’re getting an early start in the village, enjoy one of their ‘Sunshine Bowls’. These are made with a yogurt or fruit base, like acai or pitaya (dragon fruit), and then topped off with treats like strawberries, bananas, coconut granola, and drizzled with honey, almond butter, peanut butter or Nutella. Yum! Like the other bowls here, you can choose from their ‘Sunshine Favorites’ or build your own.

Clusters Popcorn
53 Peddlers Village, Lahaska, PA 18931

While you’re walking around and shopping at Peddler’s Village, ‘pop’ into Clusters for a bag of handcrafted specialty popcorn that’s popped fresh daily. It’s the perfect snack when you’re on the go! 

At Clusters, choose from a menu of sweet and savory popcorn flavors you can sample in store before you buy. Each season brings new flavors to try.

Cookie Explosion has become one of our personal favorites and has pieces of dark chocolate cookie mixed with caramel corn that has a sweet caramel bite with just a hint of salt. They even have a strawberry flavor through the end of May.

If you like savory popcorn flavors, try their White Cheddar, Cheesy Doodle (which tastes exactly like a cheese doodle), or Buffalo Blue inspired by hot wings. Other fun flavors include their Loaded Baked Potato and Just Like a Pickle.

Grab a Scoop of Small Batch Strawberry Ice-Cream With An Authentic Style Liege Waffle at Nina’s Waffles & Ice-Cream

Nina’s Waffles & Ice-Cream

ninaswaffles.com

For a sweet treat, don’t skip Nina’s Waffles & Ice-Cream in Peddlers Village where they scoop out seriously delicious small-batch ice cream served along with authentic Liege-style waffles. A style of Belgian waffle, these waffles are made from a brioche-style yeast dough instead of a batter. What makes them unique is that before being pressed, they’re sprinkled with pearl sugar, making them dense and chewy with a slight sugary crunch on the outside. They really are a yummy treat.

You can try a freshly made Liege waffle at Nina’s on its own, but do yourself a favor and top it with a scoop or two of Nina’s incredible small-batch ice cream offered in a variety of flavors. Our all-time favorite flavor is ‘Mad Crack’ made with Madagascar vanilla ice cream, chunks of saltine cracker brittle, bits of toffee, and chocolate. For a strawberry-inspired treat, try their strawberry ice cream topped with whipped cream and chocolate ganache.

Buttonwood Grill is the Spot for Award-Winning Burgers, Delicious Stone-Fired Pizzas, Creative Apps, and Original Cocktails

Buttonwood Grill
Route 202 and Street Rd, Lahaska, PA 18931
https://buttonwoodgrill.com/

With an all-day menu for lunch and dinner offering a nice selection of appetizers, fresh salads, entrees, delicious stone-fired thin-crust pizzas, and award-winning burgers, Buttonwood Grill offers super tasty bar-style food in a relaxing atmosphere.

Some of our all-time favorite bites include their Salt ‘n Pepper Calamari with cherry peppers, Baked Soft Pretzel Sticks with jalapeño cheddar ale sauce, and their wings are always perfectly crisped and spiced.

This time, we started with their new Little Neck Clams cooked in white wine, garlic, shallot, thyme, and served with toasted ciabatta. This was a generous portion of clams, each one fresh and bursting with flavor. The mix of garlic, shallot, and thyme smelled incredible and the toasted ciabatta was the perfect vessel for soaking up every last drop of that yummy broth.

Button Wood Grill is known for their amazing, stone-fired pizza, so we had to try their signature Buttonwood Pizza. This pie is packed with house-made Italian sausage, pepperoni, applewood smoked bacon, black olives, roasted bell peppers, mushrooms, roasted Vidalia onions, and their special house sauce. It was crisp, loaded with toppings, and absolutely delicious.

We also got to taste their updated Baja Fish Tacos. With warm flour tortillas filled with grilled mahi, shaved cabbage, avocado, salsa fresca, and chipotle lime ranch, they were incredibly tasty and fresh.

Buttonwood Grill also offers a delicious breakfast with great coffee, which is convenient if you’re staying in the connected Golden Plough Inn. When the weather’s nice, be sure to eat on their beautiful outdoor deck with a craft beer, glass of wine, or original cocktail like their Strawberry Watermelon Frozen Daiquiri.

Dine at Earl’s New American When You Want Prime Steaks, Raw Bar, and Farm to Table Dishes

EARL’S New American 
2400 Street Rd. New Hope, PA 18938
https://earlsnewamerican.com

Hailed by OpenTable as a “polished casual dining experience,” Earl’s New American located across the street from the Golden Plough Inn is the place in Peddler’s Village to enjoy prime steaks, raw bar, seafood, and farm to table dishes inspired by local and American cuisine.

Their Caesar Salad made with romaine hearts, lemon, garlic, and white anchovies is exceptional and their creamy She-Crab soup served with a house-made cracker never disappoints. For an appetizer, their Meatballs over Creamy Polenta are comfort food at its finest.

On a recent visit, we ordered up a dozen of their fresh oysters on the half shell to enjoy on their lovely outdoor patio, which paired perfectly with their Strawberry Sangria on special. The oysters were so delicious we went back for another round the following day. If oysters aren’t your thing, Earl’s also offers clams on the half shell and shrimp cocktail. For dinner, the Pan-Seared Scallops served with a quinoa and mushroom ragout, corn porridge and candied bacon are truly outstanding.

The desserts here don’t disappoint either. We love their decadent Vanilla Crème Brûlée served with berries.
