The Front Porch Tea Room and Gathering Place

About

Built in 1869 by the sheriff of York County, Samual Ruby, The Front Porch Tea Room and Gathering Place started as 2 1/2 story log home with lots of charm and history. Surrounded by large old trees and flower gardens with an expansive front porch, we invite you to step back in time and leave the hustle and bustle of the modern world behind. As you enjoy a fresh cup of our brewed aromatic tea, you will return to another era, where ladies wore fashionable hats, and manners and civility were a way of life. You will be treated to an unforgettable, multiple course relaxing meal. Don’t be in a hurry. Take time to browse through our rooms filled with antiques, gifts, tea items, and handmade crafts. Worried that a tea room might not be your "cup of tea?" Don't be! Although we promise to treat you like royalty, we have a laid back atmosphere. We treat every customer like a friend and we encourage everyone, man, woman, or child, to come give us a try. There is always something new each month at the Front Porch. Come watch the seasons change inside and out with us.
