The Perfect Breakfast For You

You wake to the gentle call of gulls, white gliders in a sky rosy with sunrise. Just outside the window, a mist rises from the quiet cove where wild ducks paddle and heron stand still as reeds in the shallows.
From the mouth of the Kennebunk River just across the way come boat sounds - a lobsterman chugging his solitary way to the open ocean to haul his traps, a yachtsman gliding out for a leisurely day under sail, a whale watch cruise boat filled with sleepy but eager passengers.The heady aroma of fresh-brewed coffee and an oven full of baking bread and muffins wafts down the hall to greet you. It's morning at the Green Heron Inn.....

Join us each day of your stay for sumptuous gourmet breakfast in our dining room for what our guests call "Quite possibly the best breakfast in Kennebunkport".
A lot of our guests have commented that the Green Heron Inn breakfast is truly their highlight of the day, and that they can not wait till sunrise to find out what our chef has prepared for them. Our beautiful dining area, with a picturesque view of the tidal inlet, is the perfect setting to start your day. Watch the seagulls and the heron at play while enjoying our sumptuous three-course breakfast.
Start your breakfast with a fruit opener, such as "poached pear with spiced devonshire cream", "grilled breakfast peach melba", or "fresh berries in crepes with lime-raspberry curd".
We also always have homemade granola and breakfast bread, such as our cranberry oat scones, cinnamon brown-sugar cream biscuit, or homemade ginger bread with streusel topping.
For the main entrée, we prepare two different daily specials from which you can choose. Recent egg-dish specials include unforgettable creations such as "mango-pineapple-turkey wrap with creamy picante and chipotle-maple sauce", "shiitake mushroom & smoked salmon omelette with wasabi-ginger sauce", or "roasted tomatoes and applewood smoked bacon frittata".
If your taste buds prefer something sweeter in the morning, your selections might include "grilled banana bread with lemon curd and fresh berries" or "apricot-raspberry stuffed croissantoast with toasted hazelnut", or "Grand Marnier waffle-iron toast with mandarin orange slices and maple-cream butter".
If neither of the specials appeal to your taste buds, our standard selections always include buttermilk pancakes, our famous blueberry pancakes, french toast, eggs any style, and omelettes. Also, bacon and Maine maple breakfast links are always available every day. To complete your meal, we also offer a selection of fruit juices, coffee, and a tea tray with choice of teas and herbal teas.
