Our Breakfast
What makes our breakfasts so unique that guest reviews consistently mention them?
Our Core Philosophy & Ingredients
Health-First Mission: Rooted in the innkeeper Elise's lifelong passion for natural health and nutrition (inspired by her family's early health needs and Hippocrates' philosophy, "Let Food Be Thy Medicine"), our breakfasts are designed to be healthy, beautifully presented, and delightfully memorable.
Personally Hand-Picked: The Innkeeper personally purchases every ingredient, paying a premium to hand-pick supplies rather than using commercial restaurant delivery companies.
Organic & Non-GMO Standards: We look for organic or Non-GMO in all our ingredients, from fruits and vegetables to flour and dairy products.
Strictly No Seed Oils or Corn Syrup: We never knowingly use seed oils in our cooking or baking, and we never use corn syrup for anything.
Pure Salt & Premium Water: We use imported, microplastic-free Salt from Spain on our tables and in our cooking to promote health rather than cheap sodium chloride.
From-Scratch Kitchen & Fresh Produce
Home-Grown & Pasture-Raised Eggs: Elise has raised her own chickens for years using organic feed and pasture to provide pesticide-free eggs.
Organic, Unbleached Flour: We never use huge bulk containers of bleached flour (which comes from wheat sprayed with "Round-Up" right before harvest, causing insect and human stomach distress). Instead, we use small batch, unbleached ORGANIC flour.
Real Maple Syrup: We use real maple syrup, never imitation.
Made Entirely From Scratch: We don't buy cheap or expensive ready-baked goods. We make our own from scratch using quality ingredients like organic flour, organic milk, and fresh pastured eggs.
Freshly Squeezed & Melted: If a recipe calls for lemon juice, we never use the bottled kind but freshly squeezed or zested lemons. For our "Hand-Dipped Chocolate Strawberries," we never use hydrogenated quick-set cheap chocolate with trans-fats; we use quality chocolate and melt it (never cooking with hydrogenated fats).
Fresh Whipped Cream: Our whipped cream is made fresh in our kitchen without additives.
Coffee, Tea, & Beverages
Certified Mold-Free & Organic Coffee: Because coffee is the most unregulated cash crop in the world with up to 96 pesticides, our fresh ground coffee is always organic, certified mold free, and single sourced.
All-Day Drinks: We have a large selection of hot teas available, a fun Flavia Coffee and tea maker available at all times throughout the day, plus bottled water and healthier drinks.
Accommodating Diets & Special Requests
Allergies & Celiac-Friendly: If you have an allergy or celiac disease, we bake gluten-free bakery goods while being careful not to cross-contaminate.
Sugar Management: Though our muffins and breads contain sugar, we try not to overdo it and can do sugarless varieties if needed.
Custom Diets (24-Hour Notice): If you let us know at least 24 hours ahead of time, we can serve low-carb breakfasts, low-fat, gluten-free foods, or prepare food avoiding specific allergens.
The "Skip Lunch" Surprise: If you have no allergies and are free to say, "Just surprise us!", our multiple-course breakfasts are so hearty that many people tell us they do not feel a need to eat lunch that day.
Simple Comforts: If you seriously just want organic oatmeal or scrambled eggs and toast, we can do that too, complete with a delicious flavor and lovely presentation.
Examples of Our Breakfasts
Eggs Benedict
Oven-roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary, roasted and seasoned asparagus in olive oil, and homemade ‘from scratch’ Hollandaise sauce. We toast and butter our English muffins as the base, then add local ham and top with the Hollandaise and usually capers. Organic spinach is often layered on top of the ham, utilizing vegetables grown in our own kitchen garden outside our plant room.
Fresh Fruit & Parfaits
We serve a variety of fresh fruit daily, often with organic vanilla yogurt and organic granola, as well as parfaits and freshly prepared fruit salads. We do not buy and serve pre-cut fruit; even the fruit in our baked goods is freshly cut and prepared (along with some healthy dried fruit in scones or muffins depending on the recipe).
House-Made Quiches
We serve a large variety of quiches with a delicious house-made organic crust. Organic Veggie Quiche or Tuscan Spinach Artichoke Quiche with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes are two of our signature dishes (seriously the best quiche that even we have eaten).
Pancakes, Blintzes, & Bacon
We also serve fluffy, from-scratch, organic pancakes (usually Blueberry Pancakes) or Blintzes (baked cream-filled crepes) with an organic fruit topping, alongside oven-roasted thick-sliced bacon and yummy scrambled eggs.
