7 restaurant openings you don't want to miss this summer - PennLive.com

Spring is transitioning to summer and the latest crop of restaurants will soon swing open their doors.

Before the weather turns too hot, here are seven spots to watch out for in the coming weeks.

Sunrise Café

Add Sunrise Cafe to the ever-changing restaurant scene in Carlisle. This summer Tara Stasi will open The Sunrise Café at 231 N. Hanover St. The New York-style eatery will focus on locally-sourced ingredients.

The restaurant stems from Stasi’s passion for cooking and baking, including for small and large groups. Sunrise’s menu will cover breakfast and lunch fare such as warm egg sandwiches, hot and cold deli sandwiches, homemade cream cheese on bagels and plenty of beverages. Dine inside or out or pick something from the take-out window off of Penn Street.

Elementary Coffee

Elementary’s stand at the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg is a big draw for local coffee drinkers who stop for the single-origin coffees and experimental espresso-based beverages such as nitro and cold brew.

Owner Andrea Grove and her staff will be brewing coffee at a second Harrisburg location at the corner of North and Susquehanna streets as early as July. They will join Home 231, Mangia Qui and Rubicon on the block.

The building’s owner Matt Krupp is renovating the twin buildings at 254 and 256 North St., which have sat vacant since the Coventry – a French special occasion restaurant - closed in the 1990s.

Grove said it was time to expand Elementary’s business model beyond a three-day a week model. The market stand, which will remain open, has severed as a testing grounds for Grove.

Primanti Bros.

Primanti Bros. will arrive on the West Shore this summer.

The Pittsburgh-bred chain, known for its piled high sandwich, will be opening possibly in June at the Capital City Mall in Lower Allen Township.

Primanti Bros. has been expanding its reach in recent years. It opened a restaurant in Lancaster in 2017 in and also operates outlets in York and State College. Rumors about the chain opening in the Harrisburg region have been circulating for several years.

Last year Primanti Bros. requested a liquor license transfer to Lower Allen Township from Carlisle to use at the mall, according to the township's meeting minutes. The restaurant will have an exterior entrance from the parking lot.

The closest Primanti Bros. restaurant operates in Hershey.

Hoageez

Those in the know go to Hoageez in Hummelstown for Philadelphia-style sandwiches.

Now West Shore diners will have more opportunities – and shorter trips - to sink their teeth into the hoagies. Owners Mike and Linda Martin will open a second Hoageez location soon at the West Shore Plaza in Lemoyne.

“Lemoyne reminds us of Hummelstown the way the community rallies behind local entrepreneurs,” Mike Martin said.

In 2012, the couple was inspired by trips to Philadelphia to open their first Hoageez at 422 Walton Ave.

The shop’s menu includes sandwiches named after famous Philadelphia icons and landmarks including Rocky, South Philly, Broad Street, and Philly Fanatic. They use Dietz & Watson and Freda meats and cheeses.

Rolls are sourced daily from Philadelphia. Regulars know if they don’t go early, there’s a possibility the shop will run out of the rolls and close early.

Mom’s Momo & Deli will open in mid-May at the former Subway restaurant at 5550 Derry St. with sandwiches and Nepalese cuisine

Mom’s Momo & Deli

East will meet west at a new business in Swatara Township.

Mom’s Momo & Deli will open soon at the former Subway restaurant at 5550 Derry St. with sandwiches and Nepali cuisine.

Co-owner is Subash Sharma, a partner at the nearby Nirvana Kitchen in Susquehanna Township, who said he was looking for another business opportunity in the area. When he saw the Subway had closed, he said he wanted to bring deli fare back.

He said Mom’s will be a new concept for the area. The restaurant will use Boar’s Head deli meats and cheeses for sandwiches and also serve Nepali specialties including momos, little purses of steamed dough accompanied by sauces.

In addition, Sharma said they will sell a hard-to-find specialty item but customers will have to wait. He’s keeping it under wraps until the opening.

Tikka Shack

Another Indian restaurant is en route to the West Shore.

No confirmation on an opening date but work on the restaurant at 825 Hogestown Road in Silver Spring Township is moving at a good clip and they are in the process of hiring. The fast-casual Tikka Shack runs on the moniker “seriously good Indian food.”

According to its website, “Both the dining environment and the menu have been carefully curated to captivate our guests with the aromatic flavors of India through the artful creation of blended spices.”

Tikka Shack operates restaurants in Arizona and Texas. Look for a blend of street food, classic Indian dishes and a full line of sides, drinks and desserts.

Cold Springs Inn & Brewing Company

Quietly, work has been underway at Cold Springs Inn & Brewing Company for more than one year. Owners Dennis Mulroy and Chris Crowley have been hard at work creating the waterfront brewery. It will open soon on the banks of the Yellow Breeches at 993 Park Place near Mechanicsburg with an onsite brewery, renovated dining room and two-story patio.
