Heartland Café’s team of culinary wizards whips up a breakfast menu replete with toothsome fare made from scratch daily using fresh ingredients. Eaters can rouse collective taste buds with the gustatory wake-up calls of dishes that bridge the gap between second breakfast and dinner, such as a veggie and cheese omelette forged from three farm-fresh Alberta eggs, roma tomato, and feta cheese. Practice proper group hugging etiquette between nibbles of the cinnamon-roll french toast that puts a coiled spin on the classic sweet treat, or demolish hunger with a grilled bacon and egg wrap that snuggles the timeless morning-time coupling into a whole wheat tortilla torpedo. Chefs constructing the smoked-salmon benny perch herbed-spinach cream cheese and poached eggs atop a toasted and monocled english muffin before cloaking the savoury layers in a patina of house-made Heartland hollandaise sauce. A choice of coffee bean- or fruit-based libations keeps vocal chords hydrated and free of embarrassing creaking noises while proposing to one’s meal.
