The Value Edition

Bittersweet April 2009

Breakfast is the New Lunch!

Miss Mariela That's right folks, the most important meal of the day has replaced its mid-day counterpart this year! Why is that, you ask? More value with less cost, of course! We have several packages for breakfast that will help stretch your dollar and Miss Mariela in the breakfast station has whipped up a few new things to give you extra added value to start your day! Straight after dance class and a quick power nap, she takes off her heels, throws on an apron and starts preparing breakfast, just for you!



Tired of the same old continental you can get anywhere? Announcing the new Bittersweet Continental Breakfast Tray (tah dah)!

We hear you! We have re-vamped our continental breakfast (a.k.a Corporate Breakfast #1) to feature only our homemade product. Everything included has been baked fresh in house to ensure quality, taste and offer you the best value possible! Forget the sticky stuff and set your meetings apart with a breakfast tray that is different than anyone else's (and fresher, too!).


Need something quick and hot and filling?

We've got it! Our Breakfast Casserole has got you covered. Offering fluffy scrambled eggs, diced potato, crumbled sausage, and cheddar cheese – it's a full complete breakfast in one pan! Easy to dish and serve - making your morning start easier and delicious.
