    Truffle class in the chocolate lab!!!
    Jodi M.

    The Chocolate Lab is located inside The Hershey Story building. It is essentially a commercial grade kitchen where they offer classes and different chocolate inspired workshops. The weekend we were there, they were offering a "truffles" class. For $10.00 each, we were able to participate in a 1 hour class, complete with materials and instructions. The chocolate ganache was made in advance for speed. Each station had all of the items needed to dip, decorate, and transport our bag of truffles. We rolled, dipped, decorated to our little hearts content. As the truffles cooled in the refrigerator, the instructors gave us a crash course on Milton Hershey himself as well as broke down the different parts of the cacao bean, chocolate, coco butter and coco powder. There were groups of all ages in the Chocolate Lab, couples, young adults and it was nice to see that they were so accommodating to the families with small children. We had a group with two little kids around 4-6 years old and you could really tell how much they enjoyed being in the kitchen. This is a high-tech facility complete with steel work stations, hand washing stations, and complete kitchen, a few large screen TV's and is made of glass so the other patrons of "The Hershey Story" can see what is happening inside. The instructors were really nice and as most Hershey, PA residents... know their chocolate.

    We had a great time at the chocolate lab! We all learned something we didn't know before AND got some amazing chocolate treats ;) super affordable and offered several times a day. If you are on the fence- do it!!

    Down To Earth Cafe - Dirty chai latte

    If you're passing through Mechanicsburg and want something much healthier than the typical…read morefast-food stop, Down to Earth Café is an outstanding choice. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere with beautiful local artwork that creates a relaxing dining experience. The breakfast sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The frittata was hearty, satisfying, and generously portioned. While it was just a little heavier on the pepper than I personally prefer, it was still very enjoyable. The highlight of our visit was the gluten-free, vegan strawberry matcha cinnamon roll. It was incredibly moist, delicious, and packed with flavor--one of the best gluten-free pastries we've had. It's refreshing to find a café that offers healthy options without sacrificing taste. If you're traveling through central Pennsylvania or simply live in the area, this is a wonderful alternative to the chain restaurants that dominate the highways. Whether you're looking for gluten-free, vegan, or just fresh, wholesome food, Down to Earth Café delivers. We highly recommend this café and will definitely make it a stop on future trips through the area.

I ordered avocado toast and a cookie butter smoothie, both were delicious. I paid about $15 for both, which was a bit on the expensive side, however, I did enjoy them. The service was great and the food came out with reasonable time. I would definitely return.

    First Watch is a chain, so if you've been to one, you already know the menu and the format. I'd…read moredescribe it as an upscale IHOP with Bloody Marys and mimosas. The brunch drinks are decent, and I usually come here for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday. This location sits on Chocolate Avenue, and the easiest approach is to park in the garage behind the building and walk across. You'll enter through what feels like the back door, but it's the easiest way in. There is other parking nearby, but the garage is what I recommend. Pricing is appropriate for the market, but expect to pay quite a bit more than you would at a conventional breakfast spot like IHOP or Denny's. Service is generally good. I've never had a great experience or a terrible one here, and that's the point of a chain working to hold the same standard across its locations. Service is more consistent than at many neighborhood mom-and-pop places, and the restaurant is consistently clean. Like other First Watch locations, this one can be loud. It gets very busy at peak times and on brunch holidays like Mother's Day, and large family groups are common, so factor in your noise tolerance for the morning. You can join the waitlist through the First Watch app, and they'll text you when your table is ready. That's handy on Chocolate Avenue, because you can walk around the area while you wait. Just don't stray too far. Nothing on the menu is unique, and nothing is likely to knock your socks off on a second or third visit. What First Watch does have is dependable standards. When I'm in the mood for lemon ricotta pancakes or their Million Dollar Bacon, this is where I go, because I know exactly what I'm getting. It's a solid four stars. If you're in the mood for something on their menu, it's the right place to get it.

U can add your name to the wait list before arrival, this makes wait times easier. Once seated we started with some drinks, Watermelon wake up , very good honey comb coffee not bad. To start Honey biscuits bites , wow these were amazing nice & warm add some butter & jelly & it was perfect. We also tried the Tres leches French toast very good as well & not crazy sweet as I thought it would be. Also tried the Million dollar potatoes they were very tasty. On the food the Elevated egg sandwich w greens was great, nice tasting sandwich good salad. Next the breakfast bowl & biscuits & gravy both good as well. Restaurant itself is a good size, service was good & quick for the most part, decent prices overall we enjoyed our breakfast before heading out.

It was so charming and inviting that, honestly, I initially walked in just to look around without any intention of buying anything. :) Buttttt, after seeing everything in the display case, my family and I decided we had to come back later and grab some food to take back to our hotel so we wouldn't be stuck eating another McDonald's breakfast. Boy, am I glad we did! We picked up two quiche slices (different/they seem to vary by day), a pastry of some sort, and the baked oatmeal, and everything was delicious. The portions were huge, the prices were very reasonable, and everything tasted homemade, of course. I especially recommend the quiche - whichever one looks best to you. I was also pleasantly surprised that it came with a side of fresh fruit (that was actually good) such a nice addition to the meal. :) We were so happy to find a place in Hummelstown where we could enjoy delicious homemade food while also supporting a local business during our stay. If you're visiting the area and staying nearby, I'd definitely recommend stopping in rather than defaulting to the usual chain breakfast spots. And if you actually live in the area or have some time to spare, even better, grab a seat inside or outside, slow down, and enjoy the atmosphere. ! Such a charming little find!
