Locally sourced seasonally rotating menu. Pastured eggs are just the start! The only ingredients that are not local is the lox according to the man I spoke with. Everything else comes from right around the Philly area. All made from scratch on site. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor picnic table style seating at the market where this establishment is located called CreekSide Market & Tap.
