A deluxe continental breakfast is included with your stay at the most romantic bed and breakfast Wisconsin has to offer. The Washington House Inn’s breakfast includes homemade baked goods using local ingredients, healthy choices, gluten-free options, seasonal fruits, plus a hot entrée daily. Some of our special dishes include Fresh Berry Trifle, Cedarburg Breakfast Scones, Baked Oatmeal, and Wisconsin Cheddar Egg Strata. If you have special dietary needs, please let us know when making your reservation so we can better prepare for your stay with us. In the evening, you can look forward to a social hour with wine and cheese.
Breakfast at Washington House Inn
Our scratch-made breakfast is served in our Gathering Room as a buffet between the hours of 7am – 10am or, if desired, room service between those hours. Peak Gathering Room hours are 9am – 10am; an early choice of time will give a better selection of seating.
Delicious Breakfast Recipes
We often get requests for recipes for the home-baked goods we serve at breakfast, so we recently released our own cookbook full of our best recipes! For only $6, it makes a great keepsake that you can pick up here or call us to order a copy. Perfect to present with a gift certificate! We hope you enjoy making our signature dishes for your friends and family as much as we enjoy making them for you.
Wine and Cheese Social Hour
Join us for our delightful evening social options to enhance your stay! We invite you to our complimentary wine and cheese social hour in the Gathering Room from 5pm to 6pm, featuring local wines from Cedarburg’s Cedar Creek Winery and a variety of Wisconsin cheeses.
