Breakfast At The Inn
The rich scent of the Inn's own blend of organic coffee, fine teas brewing and enticing scents from the kitchen mingle in joyful greeting as you join the convivial common table for an ample, multi-course breakfast. Find your seat and enjoy the daily offering of our succulent, seasonal fruit dishes or head straight for the popular Hawthorne Inn Homemade Granola, topped off with a generous dollop of yogurt. Save room for the Innkeepers' Choice of a daily hot entrée along with a variety of wholesome fresh-baked goods, specialty jams and aged cheeses that offer themselves up to satisfy your desires.
You will begin your Breakfast with the Innkeeper's choice of Fresh Fruits prepared in a variety of ways. Such as:
- Marilyn's own hot Peach & Plum Nutty Fruit-Crisp, topped with Mascarpone. [This is a late summer delight made from local produce.]
- Gregory's unique Cold Spiced-Cherry Soup, served with a dollop of Sour Cream.
- Hawthorne Inn's Award-Winning "Hickory-Dickory-Bosc"; Bosc Pears poached in Hickory Syrup, aromatic spices and a garnish of reduced Raspberries.
- Chilled Fresh Local-Berry Cup with layers of color; Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and Cherries [as seasonally available] offered with Whipped-cream or Fruit Yogurt.
- Tropical Fresh Fruit Cup; Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, Banana, Oranges, Pomegranate and Kiwi soaked in juice.
- Melon Plate; thinly sliced Catawba, Honeydew, Cantaloupe and Watermelon [especially nice in Summer when the melons are straight from our local Organic Farm]

- And, with simplicity, sweet Grapefruit Half, topped with a kiwi slice and cherry to add color on a Winter's morn.
