Breakfast is served in our Great Room usually between 8:00 am – 10 am.
Breakfast at the Bed and Breakfast can include fresh fruit with Juliette’s famous dried fruit compote being popular or perhaps warmed grapefruit. Other fruit is always available as well as a variety of juices such as Acai and Cranberry.
Home-made granola which is part of the breakfast bar with over 8 toppings always available. In winter oatmeal is at hand along with various baked goods, served with Juliette’s jams and jellies. To keep the price lower on weekdays, only the above expanded continental breakfast is offered. On weekends a full breakfast of frittata, french toast or waffles is served, as well as sausage or bacon.
