Lunch at the WaterWheel Cafe Bakery Bar in Milford, Pa.

Milford is one of the most historic and scenic towns in our area of Pennsylvania. The WaterWheel Cafe has all the charm that you would expect from a building that houses a more than 100-year old grist mill. The menu, however, is anything but old. It is a la minute with everything prepared fresh from the highest quality ingredients. 

We have had breakfast here in the past and lunch. I suggested we stop here with our grandson Brandon on the way to the cottage. We arrived at about 12:30. We were able to be seated immediately but before long all the tables were occupied. The restaurant has two rooms in the front of the building and a bar farther back. A deck offers the opportunity to dine outside. You will see the bar if you go to the restrooms or to see the millwheel. 

I ordered a cappuccino and a chicken salad sandwich on a semolina baguette, Brandon ordered the Hereford beef burger which comes with a choice of cheese and Al had the roast beef sandwich on rye bread. The roast beef is cooked in house and was a beautiful medium rare. 

The cappuccino was perfect, it had a lot of firm foam. I love semolina so it added to my delicious chicken salad sandwich made with grapes and walnuts. Brandon scarfed down his burger and it was cooked perfectly and Al enjoyed the roast beef. The hamburger was served with thick ruffled potato chips  and the sandwiches were served with a delicious macaroni salad.  

You just can't leave without getting something from the bakery. It was calling my name. Since it was so busy, we decided to take the dessert to go, to free up our table. I got a delicious bar made with chocolate pieces and coconut, Brandon got a lava cake and I chose a cinnamon horn for Al. We had them as our evening snack. 

You know how sometimes things look really good but the taste is not as good as it looks, that is NOT the case here, everything tasted just as good as it looked. Oh YUM. 

I highly recommend the WaterWheel Cafe but not if you want to eat and run. This is a place to come and savor your meal. Service is not too slow but it is not quick, it takes a little time to prepare and serve this much deliciousness. I was a little disappointed that they ran out of the sweet potato soup made with coconut milk but I can understand why it would have been popular, it sounded so good!!

You will notice there are no pictures of our dessert, we ate it before I remembered I wanted a picture!!
