The Breakfast Cottage in Nokomis

The Breakfast Cottage in Nokomis is a quaint, colorful, and cozy place to have breakfast or lunch, indoors or outdoors on the deck under the trees, with a delicious menu of treats and favorites that look, smell and taste great.



My visit here was on a Labor Day Holiday Weekend morning when I was the first hungry customer in the door to be seated in the bright-with-Florida-colors dining room. It didn't take long for more diners to show up. One of their past regular customers was celebrity Rosie O'Donnell, when she lived on nearby Casey Key. Local lore tells of numerous diners having pleasant and friendly encounters with Rosie at The Breakfast Cottage.

The attentive waitress brought me that first early morning cup of hot coffee fast. With that cup of coffee in hand it was now time to survey their board of fare but I knew what I would order before even opening the menu. You see, I'm a pushover for Eggs Benedict, especially since I don't often get a chance to go out for breakfast due to a full time work schedule. But I thought I would take a look at their menu anyway to see, if possibly, it could entice me into something other than the Eggs Benedict I was craving.

My favorite breakfast dish, Eggs Benedict ($11.99) comes in 6 variations at the Breakfast Cottage including my favorite version, the traditional, but you can order the dish Country-style with bacon or turkey-bacon. I ordered it with bacon. For the well healed they also offer the Eggs Benedict Key West ($16.99), a classic Lobster and Shrimp Benedict.
