We were recently in Hershey, Pennsylvania and we were meeting family for breakfast. They suggested we go to their favorite place, The Hershey Pantry. This restaurant was packed and there was a wait. The good news is we did not have to wait too long.

Looking over the menu there were several great options to choose from. I kept changing my mind while waiting for the waitress to come over and take our order. Once she arrived, I settled on ordering the Egg Sandwich on Pretzel Roll. The pretzel roll was amazing. It was extremely sweet and soft. On the roll was egg, ham and American cheese. The cheese was creamy, which is always perfect with eggs. The sweetness of the roll complemented the saltiness of the ham. I was a perfect sandwich. It also came with home fries. These were a little unique; they were sliced potatoes verses cubed. The thinness of the potato was nice to each with just a little salt and pepper.

The Peasant Omelet was also ordered. This was a slightly different omelet from the traditional style omelet. Wrapped in the egg was feta cheese, bacon, and onion. Then it was topped with a sprinkling of paprika. The feta cheese gave a slight tang but nothing overwhelming. The bacon was a nice crunchy and salty element. This dish too came with the home fries.

Breakfast was so good at The Hershey Pantry. The service was fast, but we never felt rushed. And the waitress kept the coffee flowing.

When visiting Hershey, Pennsylvania I was looking for a place to get fresh donuts. I came across Duck Donuts and popped in the take a look at what they had to offer.

This was the cutest donut shop I had ever seen. It is duck themed, so there were rubber ducks everywhere plus cute donut themed products. They had a little shop where you could buy everything.

When I got up to the counter, I checked out their menu. They had so many options. It was really overwhelming. You really need to go there with an idea of the flavors that you are looking for.

You can order however many donuts that you want. They are all made fresh to order. It is a great concept. The batter comes out of the dispenser and drops into the hot oil.

You can watch the whole cooking process. Which is exactly what I did.

Once the donuts come out of the oil they are drained and then taken over to the counter. This is where they are prepared with the toppings that were ordered. Whether it’s sprinkles, icing, jelly, cinnamon and sugar, or even Oreo cookies, the choices are endless.

Then your hot, fresh donuts are handed to you, and you are ready to go. You can eat them there, while they are still warm. Or take them home to enjoy. Even if you eat them the next day, they are still soft and fresh.

This is an amazing concept. Upon further research, Duck Donuts is a franchise and there are shops opening all over the country. Check out their website to see if there is one in your area. If you are visiting Hershey, then you must stop by and have a donut.
