Candleberry Inn on Cape Cod

At Candleberry Inn, we believe that your breakfast experience is as important as all the other moments of your visit with us. We have curated a fine dining experience that we hope lives up to Adam Mansbach’s sentiment
that “Eating is truly one of the great pleasures of life.”

At breakfast each course is personally prepared, plated and served to your table. You have a choice of enjoying breakfast in our historic 1790’s dining room, or on the covered garden patio with bistro tables overlooking the lush west lawns and gardens. Outdoor heaters give guests the option of having breakfast on the patio even on the chillier mornings of the spring and autumn seasons.

Our breakfast is a pampering, personalized experience where you are seated, and all courses and beverages are served to you.

The breakfast experience consists of several courses, with menu items never repeated during your visit. Each breakfast includes a beautifully plated fresh fruit course, followed by a hot main course. Fruit courses vary from day to day, featuring dishes like grilled pineapple spears with orange, strawberry, and blackberry garnish, or a mini panna cotta nestled under a variety of mixed berries with a raspberry coulis, or a simple fruit skewer lightly dusted with turbinado sugar and lemon zest.

The main entrées alternate between sweet and savory dishes each day, many of which are inspired by our Italian mothers and heritage. Some examples include Marco’s mom Luisa’s “zucchini frittata” (with just three ingredients) and Angelo’s mom Flora’s “patate rustiche” (potatoes, eggs, peppers and mild sausage). Another guest favorite is “uova in camicia” (our version of poached eggs with an Italian twist), and of course we serve popular breakfast staples like our apple-blueberry pancakes and challah French toast, just to name a few.

Much thought and planning go into the plating and presentation of these meals, and we intentionally don’t over plate to deliver a carefully curated experience – and we happily serve additional helpings, in fact it’s the highest compliment to serve more!

Ingredients are carefully selected and sourced by Angelo, whether shopping at nearby farms, farm stands or markets. He’ll typically shop at various locations every day to purchase select items, including cage-free eggs and organic fruits and vegetables.

Beverages are also personally served to you at breakfast, including your choice of gourmet blend coffees, espresso or cappuccino, and a variety of selected teas, as well as juices and water. Cream, half and half, whole milk, skim milk, almond milk, and oat milk are always available. Our self-serve guest pantry is also available anytime for early risers who would like coffee or tea before breakfast time.
