Hangry Bear Creamery — Restaurant in Kennett Township

As a matter, of course, I love to try local eateries and new establishments. Traveling from Erdenheim to Avondale, I punched in “food near me” on Google Maps around 9:45 am on a Thursday. Much to my surprise, Hangry Bear Creamery popped up as an option, and was then surprised again that a creamery was open before 10:00 am. When I arrived, I was delighted to see that they had decent sized food menu as well, including breakfast, some thing I wasn’t expecting from an ice cream shop. You’re probably thinking why didn’t this guy read the website. I was driving and I never go on the phone and read when I’m driving. And neither should you. It’s unsafe. Since I went to simply get ice cream, this was another great turn of events. I started to order the traditional pork roll, egg and cheese, hoping for local meat and cheese and eggs and pork roll cooked well done. The nice young cashier recommended I consider some of the other meats as an option as well, highlighting the bacon. Not one to disappoint, I went with her recommendation and ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted sourdough bread. The sourdough was thick cut and well buttered and just perfect paired with the thick cut bacon. While the sandwich was cooking, I skid over to the ice cream counter, and selected three of their custom flavors in a cup. It took five minutes to agonize over which flavors Due to a good selection. While the size of the scoops were smaller than anticipated, it was welcomed from the normal gluttonous mounds of sugary dairy. The price which was around five dollars for three scoops was more than reasonable relatively speaking. As I walked around to take some photos of the space, I realized there was a whole second area that was a separate coffee bar. Ordered a Vanilla Latte, 2%. This was too sweet for my taste but I failed to ask them to hold off on a lump or two. The Creamery is located in a more recently constructed, tasteful and clean building with ample parking. Definitely recommend giving it...

I want to see this place do well and succeed, however... $22 for diner-type food is ridiculous. I got a sandwich and fries and after all of the up charges and services charges, I don't think I can justify coming back here unless prices come down a bit. I can get the same amount of food at Wawa for $6 or Chipotle for $11. Even Country Butcher down the road has a massive burger and fries for $11. So to see a (surprisingly) small sandwich and fries end up at $22 is just disappointing. I could see this being $10-$15 (after all taxes and charges), but its just too expensive to justify as is.

Again - I want to like this place, but the food is way overpriced for the health/quality/volume of the food. Credit cards are the way of the world, adding a service charge is ridiculous (though I suspect this is because baseline prices are already quite high).

Edit for the owner's response:

It's not just national companies. Your prices aren't competitive with local family restaurants like country butcher or even the taquerias in Kennett. And the food may be freshly made there, but it's mostly fried food and sandwiches. Again - I really like your ice cream and I want to see you all succeed, but prices are just too high, relative to the quality (I.e. fried food/sandwiches). I've been there over 10 times at this point and I just can't justify coming back for anything other than ice cream,...

Hangrybear in Kennett is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s an experience that keeps surprising and delighting us every time. From the moment we walk in, we’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes us feel like family. Their menu is thoughtfully crafted with a mouth-watering variety of high-quality, inventive options that satisfy everyone from picky kids to food-loving adults.

My wife and I always split one of their seasonal sandwiches and a fresh, vibrant salad that bursts with flavor, texture, and the best ingredients around. Tonight, we enjoyed the crunch salad—our go-to favorite—and savored every bite of the turkey Rachel Sammy special, a perfect combination of savory, tangy, and fresh. Our girls happily split the crispy chicken fingers and gooey grilled cheese, which are always a hit.

To top it off, dessert is an absolute must here! We indulged in pumpkin and Biscoff cheesecake ice cream, each bite a little piece of heaven. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and sweets so perfectly, but Hangrybear does it with style.

They’ve quickly become a staple in our lives, not just for the food but for the memories they help us create. From Bluey breakfasts to other family-friendly events, Hangrybear has become a tradition we look forward to, a beloved spot in the community where we...
