Let's talk about the delicous breakfast options The Mad Hatter Restaurant & Bakery is so good to offer to the Rochester crowds. You might be in the mood for a Frittata or a "British Scram", but your friends may want to explore Benedicts, a breakfast sandwhich or just a simple "eggs and toast" breakfast. Lucky for all of you, all of what I mentioned is available on the menu. The restaurant offers specialty items such as Tater Toppers. The Tater Toppers are roasted red potatoes that are topped with a choice of toppings like spicy or ergular hollandaise sauce, gravy and cheese, or ranch seasoning with cheddar cheese and sour cream. Other breakfast specialties include biscuits and gravy, avocado toast, pancake and eggs combos, breakfast burritos, quiche and breakfast plates. If your sweet tooth is acting up for breakfast, the menu includes sweet-tooth options like french toast (stuffed or regular), specialty or regular pancakes, and bacon cakes. They even include a gluten-free french toast option and Challah French Toast. These come with your choice of topping such as fruit, and locally sourced maple syrup. The restaurant offers coffee specials of the day and a variety of options for British tea. From my experience alone, the tater toppers and the specialty coffee was the the highlight of my whole week.

Now that we have breakfast covered, lunch is already around the corner. The Mad Hatter Restaurant & Bakery serves a simple, yet tasteful lunch menu and even has room for the little ones in which is named ""For The Little Hatters" on their menu, (how cute!). You can start off with a house salad, a house-made soup of the day, or a specialty salad like theyr Cobb, Southwest, or Pear & Gorgonzola salad and more. The menu is mostly centered around sandwhich and panini style items. They are all served with your choice of fresh fruit or mini salad, fries, or a cup of soup. For those gluten-free folks, you can ask for a gluten-free toast for your sandwhich or panini. Some examples of their sandwhiches are Shredded Pesto Chicken, Tuna Melt, Vegan Grilled Portobello, The Mad Burger, Turkey Reuben, or more. The Panini options range from veggie, brie and pear, and caprese to turkey and four cheese. If these don't already have your mouth-watering, I don't really know what will. Wait a minute, I do.
