Whether your day is planned for leisurely moments relaxing on porch rockers, then ‘down the way by the sea’, or you’re heading off for an active day, The Mooring’s beautifully presented full, hot breakfasts provide the perfect beginning!
Intimate breakfasts are enjoyed on tables arranged for individual dining throughout our dining room and spacious front porch areas. Our tableside breakfast service compliments the personalized-care experience here at The Mooring, as part of an intimate, fun-filled, and restorative stay in Cape May.
Breakfasts at The Mooring are served as ‘Chef-prepared breakfasts’, alternating in style from day to day between savory and sweet. We provide an element of surprise… perhaps one morning a three-egg omelet or a savory baked egg dish, and the next a French toasted brioche with homemade fruit compote or crisp blueberry waffle, hot off the iron. Breakfast is served with either savory sausages, Applewood smoked bacon, or our peppered bacon… which is well enjoyed!
Guests have use of a small kitchen just off the dining room. There are no cooking facilities, but there is a microwave for reheating leftovers. A large refrigerator is available, and there’s ice in the freezer. We don’t have an ice-maker, so ask that guests be courteous and refill the ice cube trays as they are emptied so we don’t run out.
Coffee and hot water are available 24/7, and sugar, sweeteners, and cream are provided. A supply of coffee mugs, glasses, plates, bowls, flatware, corkscrews, and bottle openers are also available in the guest kitchen.
We have a second refrigerator in the 3rd floor hallway which guests are also welcome to use; please note there is no ice available in that freezer.
Cape May has a wealth of fine restaurants. The dilemma here is not where to find a good meal, but how to choose between all the options!
