Noodle House

📍Chalfont

Noodle House is the kind of place that turns a regular meal into an experience. With anime-inspired decor and a robot waitress delivering your food, it’s a fun spot for any occasion. But the real star is their Crispy Chicken Noodle Ramen—a generous bowl of flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and crispy chicken on the side. It’s comfort food with a playful twist, and if you’re bringing the kids, don’t skip the marinated pork waffle fries. They’re legendary. The best part? This favorite soup spot is less than a mile from Highpoint at New Britain.

Chestnut Hill Brewing Company serves up more than just craft beer—they also have one of the most satisfying soups in the city. Their Butternut Squash Bisque, topped with maple cream and spiced pepitas, is everything you want in a winter soup: rich, smooth, and full of cozy seasonal flavors. Pair it with a slice of their wood-fired pizza or enjoy it on its own—either way, it’s the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for more. And their Chestnut Hill location is only about 14 miles away from our North Wayne neighborhood.

If you’re a fan of the classics, look no further than The Butcher and Barkeep’s soup du jour — especially if it’s their Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup. It’s simple, hearty, and just what you need on a chilly day. Pair it with their fresh bread or a salad for a satisfying meal that hits all the right notes. Good news for residents of our Highpointe at Salford neighborhood: you’re only one mile away.

At White Dog Café, the soups are as creative as they are comforting. Their Kennett Square Mushroom Soup, made with truffle crème fraîche and chives, is a fan favorite. Or, if you’re looking for something festive, try their Autumn Squash Bisque, topped with roasted pumpkin seeds and a hint of chili oil. With locally sourced ingredients and seasonal menus, every visit feels like a celebration of the best flavors Philly has to offer. Residents of our North Wayne community couldn’t be closer — their Wayne location is a short walk away.

Far Away Farm’s Country Corner

📍 Glenmoore, PA

For a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal, Far Away Farm’s Lamb Stew is hard to beat. Their pasture-raised lamb is slow-cooked with herbs, garlic, and roasted vegetables, then served over creamy mashed potatoes. It’s rich, flavorful, and exactly what you need on a cold winter night. (And it’s just a short drive from our upcoming neighborhood, The Estates at Stonecliff.)

When it comes to hand-pulled noodles, Nan Zhou is the real deal. Their Roast Duck Noodle Soup is packed with tender duck, a rich broth, and noodles that are perfectly chewy and satisfying. It’s no wonder this spot has become a Chinatown staple. Pro tip: grab some extra noodles to-go for a quick meal at home — they’re that good.
