The Pearl of Seneca Lake, our New York bed and breakfast inn, is renowned for its homemade breakfast foods and afternoon snacks.

Breakfast is served family style, with the option of eating privately, either in the guests’ rooms or on our lakeside deck. Many guests comment that the servings are generous enough that they can skip lunch or have a late lunch. A typical breakfast starts off with orange and cranberry/raspberry juice, fruit cup, fresh-made applesauce, melons, strawberry/rhubarb, depending on what is in season locally. Hot-from-the-oven scones or muffins are available while the made-to-order entrée is being prepared. The entrée may include eggs to order, pancakes, waffles, quiche, crepes, and frittatas, accompanied by sausage, ham, bacon or turkey-sausage hash. Homemade white and whole-wheat toast is served daily. Gluten-free baked items can easily be made upon request. We also strive to accommodate any special dietary requirements, like vegetarian, lactose intolerance, and low fat / low cholesterol.

Our beverage center is available 24 hours a day and includes an individual-serving coffee maker with a huge assortment of regular and decaf flavors. There is also a variety of loose-leaf teas as well as traditional tea bags and cocoa. Accompanying the hot beverages are our homemade cookies and brownies. Cold water and sodas are available in the refrigerators in each guest room. Popcorn is available in each room and can be made in the in-room microwave.
