Krista's in Cornish Maine -- Good breakfast eat

This weekend our "cousins" watched the kids for a couple of hours while we stole a few hours away to enjoy a stress-free breakfast. Dawn, the office manager at Danforth Bay highly recommended Krista's at the Cornish Inn, in Cornish, ME to our cousins. They have since been there several times now and highly recommended it! We wanted to see what the fuss was all about so we headed out on a beautiful crisp fall day this past Sunday for an anniversary breakfast. Cornish, Maine is an easy, direct, scenic twenty minute drive from Danforth Bay on Rt. 25.

There is plenty of easy-off street parking and a few spots in the Inn as well. We arrived to find there was about a 15 minute wait. However, the hostess was really friendly and she offered us some tea and coffee. They have a coffee bar and offer espressos, lates, chai tea, giradelli hot chocolate, etc. This was especially comforting since it was a little bit chilly out and in the main waiting room and his warmed us up. During the spring/summer season they have additional seating on the farmer's porch which may lesson or elminiate the wait.

We found the dining room to be somewhat small, cozy, but cute. If you like a lot of space (or want to have a really private conversation) this may not be the place for you. The service was very good as our coffee and tea was promptly refilled. The young waitress was very attentive. The breakfast menu was a little bit confusing as you order each item separately but was reasonably priced. There was really no order by number platters.

The food quality and quantity for breakfast was outstanding!!! I had an omelet stuffed with tomoatoes, onion, pepper, ham, brocolli, and cheddar cheese. The vegetables were either steamed or sauteed. They offer a good variety as well for omlets and scrambled eggs. For example, you can even order a mexican omlet. The omelet also came with (what looked like) home-made toast which was thickly sliced. I also ordered the Deluxe homefries because I heard so many good things about them. Deluxe homefries are chunks of nicely cooked potatoes mixed with bacon and cheddar cheese and topped with sour cream. This was surely superb!!! My wife had 2 thickly sliced pieces of french toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon.

Krista's gives you extra large portions so becareful on how much you order. Sadly to say, I was unable to eat every bite but did my best. After eating here for breakfast or brunch you'll be good to go until dinner time!

Because of its size, it is not really a place for young children but you certainly could bring in well-behaved children and have them accomodoated.

After our lunch we took a brief walk around the town and visited some of the Antique stores and then into Rosemary's Crafts store where we purchased another decoration accessory for our camper.

Overall, I highly recommend Krista's. We hope to someday try out their dinner and lunch menus. I was also really impressed with how friendly the people are in this part of Maine.
