"On
the corner of College and Ware streets,
is the Ware Street Inn, a lovely
1940s-era Colonial-style home
transformed into a B&B two years ago by
Jan Barrett. Her personal favorite
French toast interpretation is a tasty
stuffed version: griddle-toasted slices
of crusty French baguette filled with
cream cheese and her homemade strawberry
jam. She also is known for her
crème-caramel French toast, and
French-toasted croissants served with
sautéed apples and cranberries. |

Those
with a penchant for pancakes would
likely appreciate her baked peach
pancakes with honey-raisin syrup. For
waffle aficionados there are apple
Belgian waffles with apple cider syrup.
Barrett loves to bake, so guests will
usually find something tempting on her
bountifully-stocked buffet table as
well, such as her Memere’s sour cream
cranberry coffee cake, or her own
delightfully decadent banana rum toffee
bread. Guests who depart too soon -
perhaps due to an early flight - to
partake in the Ware Street Inn’s
family-style sit down breakfast are
cheerfully provided with a To-Go
breakfast: a piece of fruit, a couple of
slices of fresh-baked sweet bread and/or
muffins, a granola bar and a few pieces
of candy to un-pop their ears during
their flight, all tucked inside an
official Ware Street Inn doggy bag,
along with napkins and a wet nap. And as
they head out the door, they are handed
a Ware Street Inn travel mug filled with
coffee or any other beverage of their
choice (and there is a vast selection)." |

Breakfast is served between 7:00 a.m.
and 9:00 a.m. weekdays, and between
8:00a.m. and 9:30a.m. weekends; however,
arrangements can be made to accommodate
our guests' special needs. Whenever it
is served, it is sure to please . . .
and to beckon you back on your next
visit to Maine! |
