Restaurants, retail and Whole Foods along Hares Hill Road

West Vincent is a car-dependent neighborhood, but the amenities possibly compensate for that. “There’s good shopping and dining,” Dienno says. Onorati adds, “The convenience of shopping is great.” On the outskirts of the neighborhood of Hares Hill Road is the fine dining establishment Kimberton Inn. Across the way is a Whole Foods grocery store and Excursion Cider. On the opposite end of the area are Revival Pizza Pub, Ludwig's Grill & Oyster Bar, Wawa and Collective Coffee Café. “There’s every convenience imaginable,” says Onorati.
