Hungry? Hatboro Cafe Offers Free Food

Free food and dessert samples? Winner.

- formerly Carving Board Cafe - will hold a grand opening today, during Second Saturday Hatboro.

Mother and daughter owners Rickie Haid and Lynn Voorhees recently acquired the restaurant and have slowly been transforming it with their homemade meals and desserts, as well as signature smoked ribs and rib dogs.

The community can get a taste (i.e. free sample) of the cafe's offerings during today, which runs from noon to 6 p.m. in the borough's downtown shopping district. The cafe, which is situated at 52 S. York Road, is in the heart of the monthly arts and entertainment gala.  

Besides giving away samples of smoked ribs and rib dogs, the owners will be offering tastes of the cafe's signature "Holy Cow Cake," which features chocolate, caramel, a crushed Butter Finger topping and icing. Samples of coconut cake and red velvet cake will also be available. 

Door prizes will be given away every hour and free parking is available in the rear of the building.

For the time being, Rickie & Lynn's will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., but future plans include serving dinner.
