The Best Breakfast in Galena
Farmers Guest House has been named “Best B&B Breakfast in North America” and with your first bite, you will agree.
Yes, it’s true, not only are we known for serving the best breakfast in Galena, our sumptuous breakfasts are considered the best in the country and when you take your first bite, you too will understand why. Spoil yourself with a Champagne breakfast in which our fresh fruit and juice bar leads the way to the yummiest of custom blended mimosas. Tasting like sunshine on a chilly day, these drinks pair wonderfully with our locally sourced breakfast entrees and homemade baked goods that will transport you back to the yummy goodies your grandma made for you as a child. Our doctors have always told us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we firmly stand behind that, offering meals that will ensure our guests will have the energy to enjoy a full day of Galena adventures, even as their mind may be filled with the memories of that scone they devoured earlier in the day.
Breakfast is served in our spacious dining room with multiple seating options and over a one-hour time span to allow you the comfort of sleeping in. All of our breakfasts begin with fresh fruit and from-scratch bakery items, which may include homemade muffins, coffee cake, danish, breads or scones. Every day is a different day at our bed and breakfast in Galena, but guests are never disappointed. Sample menu items range from crustless quiche, to blueberry French toast, fiesta oven omelet, bacon & egg cups, waffles, or oatmeal pumpkin pancakes, and the best local bacon, ham or sausage. Breakfast is accompanied by your choice of coffee, tea, and fresh juice.
Seasonal baked goods always accompany your entrée and include such mouth-watering delicacies as pumpkin muffins, bacon-cornbread muffins, or Strawberry Coffee Cake. Farmers Guest House also accommodates food allergies and restrictions upon request. We serve Gluten Free homemade items for guests who request a Gluten Free diet and can accommodate most dietary requests with a day’s notice.
The Secret is in the Ingredients
The world today has seemed to have forgotten the yum factor of food that is fresh and created from locally sourced ingredients, but Farmers Guest House has never stopped creating meals this way. Our fruits may have been picked from the trees or bushes of local farms, including those sweet blueberries in the muffin you dreamed about last night. The eggs that top thick slices of Canadian bacon resting on fresh baked English muffins and slathered in creamy hollandaise sauce will offer that cheerful golden yolk that signifies happy chickens from local farms were behind this offering. And that tower of delicious goodness you saw being delivered to the next table in our family dining room? That, dear guests, was our sausage waffles topped with homemade blueberry sauce and whipped cream we prepare fresh in our kitchen every day specifically for your breakfast experience. Every bite of every breakfast will bring tears of joy to your taste buds and although you may be tempted to quickly devour the breakfast placed before you, we encourage you to slow down. Taste each bite of our strawberry coffee cake, notice how the flavors meld together so beautifully in our breakfast quesadillas created with fluffy eggs, Wisconsin cheese, and all the love we have for giving our guests a breakfast that will be the highlight of their day.
Breakfast begins with a fruit bar that is fresh, hand cut and prepared each morning. Along with the fresh fruit is an array of fruit juices and champagne to make your custom blended Mimosa – after all, you are on vacation!
