"On our first visit, we kicked things off with a fresh cup of coffee ($3.00). We shared the Monte Cristo Breakfast, which includes two pieces of homemade French toast topped with ham and scrambled eggs, all covered in Swiss cheese, accompanied by a side of essential lingonberries ($14.45). If the description doesn't scream “huge portion,” I don't know what does! It also came with two sides—ours were two cinnamon rolls and hash browns. It was an abundance of food, and not just any food, but truly delicious food. They nailed both the quantity and quality. Everything complemented each other perfectly. This was easily the best version of this classic dish I’ve ever had. The ham was cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. The eggs were incredibly moist, fully cooked, and there was just the right amount of cheese. The French toast was entirely homemade—oh my, it was scrumptious! I could have eaten it on its own.
On our second day, my husband indulged and ordered the French Toast Fantasy, which features mascarpone-filled cinnamon rolls that are battered, grilled, and topped with granola and seasonal fresh berries ($12.95). It’s a favorite of Rachael Ray’s and it’s easy to see why—it’s a deliciously sweet treat! This dish is a sugar overload in the best possible way. Honestly, I found it a bit overwhelming, as it was like a combination of sugar piled on fat with a side of more sugar. It was good, but we could only handle a few bites. It’s definitely a unique dish, but I recommend pairing it with something savory, like eggs or plain hash browns, to balance the sweetness. I opted for a simpler dish of two eggs, hash browns, and seasonal fresh fruit ($10.75), and my husband ended up eating half of it just to take a break from all that sweetness.
But the true stars of both meals were the cinnamon rolls. You won’t find anything like them anywhere else, and they’re unforgettable. They are moist, stretchy, yet tender, with the perfect amount of cinnamon and the most delectable icing! I’ll remember these rolls for a lifetime! They are as close to heaven on Earth as you can get! They are extraordinary and mind-blowing. I doubt there are words in English that do justice to how much I adore them and the lasting impression they left on me. You simply have to try them for yourself!"
