- breakfast
a world of flavors



Breakfast at the Benjamin Ellis House combines a mixture of authentic and experimental cooking styles from around the world, bringing together different tastes from across Europe and throughout North America.



Our gourmet breakfast includes a hot main dish, fresh fruit, various side dishes and a home-made baked good each day.

Samples menus include: Southwest Breakfast Casserole served with sausage, Grits Soufflé and Apple Cheddar Scones, or Turkey & Mushroom stuffed crepes, Sweet Potato Hash, bacon and Apple Dapple Cake.

Other popular favorites are Eggs Florentine with Mornay sauce, Praline French Toast, Cheese Blintz Casserole, California Avocado Egg Bake with Hollandaise, Bircher Muesli, Peaches & Cream Popovers, Mango & Quinoa Salad or Apple & Onion Tart.



Breakfast is served in our formal dining room between 8.30 and 9.30 each morning. The sideboard is filled and guests may help themselves during that time. Seating is family style at our two formal tables giving guests opportunities to get to know each other.
Have an early morning departure? Ask about a ‘Breakfast to Go’ bag. Your breakfast will be in the guest refrigerator to take on your way out.
With advance notice, most dietary restrictions or allergies can be accommodated.
While breakfast is a special affair at the Inn, it is not required all guests partake. We understand some guests want to sleep in or will pass on breakfast. When possible, we appreciate advance notice for our planning purposes. ​



Begin your New Bern adventure each morning with fresh brewed coffee or hot tea available when you rise from our 24 hour beverage station equipped with with an electric kettle and Jura full automatic coffee machine. Relax with your coffee or tea in our comfortable parlor adjacent to the dining room. Chat with other guests or read the newspaper.
