BREAKFAST

We take breakfast seriously at the Hummingbird Inn! Included with your stay is a full country breakfast served each morning in our Dining Room. A yummy nibble for your coffee may be found on the Tea & Coffee Bar prior to breakfast. Guests often take this to their favorite spot to enjoy alone or with others. At 9:00 am we serve a seated two-course breakfast that typically starts with seasonal fresh fruit, our famous yogurt parfaits with house-made granola, or Jeff’s delicious crepes! In the winter we include warm starters such as broiled grapefruit, baked apple and cranberry gratin or oatmeal creme brulee. The main course is hearty and may be sweet, savory or a little of both. Our most popular main courses include spinach and tomato frittata, Southwest egg bake, salmon quiche, eggs Florentine, eggs Benedict, roasted herb potatoes, crispy hash browns, seasonal French toast, cherry or corn griddle cakes and a variation of pancakes served with local sausage, bacon or ham. Our eggs are organic non-gmo from a farm nearby. The Hummingbird garden is filled with peppers, tomatoes and herbs. On occasion our Goshen friends provide us with an abundance of squash, cucumbers and heirloom tomatoes. We also shop our local produce market “Mill Creek Produce” from Spring to Fall.

All dietary restrictions are happily accommodated with advance notice. Enjoy wonderful non-dairy French toast, tofu scrambles with grilled vegetables, plant based sausage or a themed Quinoa Hash for our vegan guests. Please let us know at the time of your reservation so we may purvey fresh ingredients for your dietary needs.
