A Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Bellefonte, PA was our destination to celebrate a special birthday. Angelica has returned to Penn State as a graduate student, and specifically requested an afternoon tea gathering to celebrate her October birthday. There aren't many tea rooms in the northern PA tier, but we were quite happy to discover '
Our Fair Lady', a bed and breakfast in the charming town of Bellefonte that also offers Afternoon Tea. Bellefonte is the county seat of Centre County, and has a historic downtown with a variety of shops to visit and Victorian era architecture to admire.
We were seated in our own private dining area, with a casual place setting. Once settled, we were offered a glass of prosecco, and we happily toasted the birthday girl.
A small bowl of warm potato leek soup was offered next followed by a tasty lemon sorbet in a delicate crystal cup. Our hostess came to the room offering the house blend of tea, refilling our cups as frequently as we desired.
The tiered tray was presented next, and that included a variety of sweets and savories. The bottom tier of sandwiches consisted of chicken salad triangles, cucumber sandwiches, and egg salad on pumpernickel while the top tier held triangular scone sections and a medley of desserts.
The desserts included an apple pastry, a chocolate macaron, strawberry meringue, a chocolate rolled pastry, and a chocolate candy. The other triangle was the blueberry scone.
We had a joyful time celebrating the birthday girl. Bellefonte is a quick drive from Penn State, and any time we can gather around the tea table is always extra special. As October draws to a close, and the end of a month of celebrations, we hope the birthday wishes may all come true.

ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to find a place nearby to celebrate with tea.
I wish Angelica all good things as she works on her graduate studies too. She will be glad she did it.
