Herm's Inn: Logan

My favorite meal of the day: Breakfast. 
Hands down. I love breakfast. I would not hate it if every meal consisted of breakfast food. I always wonder why people order skillets and omelets for breakfast because french toast, crepes, waffles, and pancakes just make everyone's day so much better. Breakfast food is so cozy. I love it. 

French Toast is by far my favorite breakfast food. It is hard for me to branch out. However, whether you used to like French Toast or not, your new favorite is found at {Kneaders}. Plus, it is only $4.99 and it is all-you-can-eat. 

All-you-can-eat + French Toast = a deadly combination.
Here is a look at their Cinnamon French Toast. It is thick cut, soft, with cinnamon bits inside. Topped with freshly made whipped cream and strawberries, the French Toast is accompanied by a unique caramel syrup that is to die for: 

Kneaders Cinnamon French Toast {$4.99}

Remember, it is all-you-can-eat, so come with an appetite and baggy clothes. 


My second favorite breakfast place is The Crepery. I love The Crepery because of its atmosphere. It has a cute, cozy, cafe feel to it. With local art along the walls, the small house is a perfect place to go in the morning. However, it has moved locations. The Crepery used to be located on 130 North and 100 East behind the Tabernacle and across from Le Nonne. Now, it is located on Main Street and about 500 South. It is right next to the Antique shop on the east side of Main Street. 

The only downfall of The Crepery is that you do not get a lot of food. The crepes are pretty small. They are amazing, but they are small. Therefore, I like to go to the Crepery for dessert or for a snack. They have all kinds of crepes, including sweet crepes with fruit, Nutella, graham crackers, marshmallow, whipped cream, you name it. They also have crepes with chicken, spinach, cheese, and veggies, if that is your style. Their new location supposedly has a patio in the back where customers can enjoy their crepe while relaxing next to the Logan River. 

I love The Crepery. It is one-of-a-kind. It is exactly the reason I started blogging. I love small, unique restaurants, just like The Crepery. I recommend you go there at least once just for the vibe. It'll brighten your day. It will make you love Logan just a little bit more. I will do a blog post for The Crepery soon, I just wanted to give it a shout out. Here is a pic of their crepes:

Ok, now onto the best sit down breakfast place in Logan. Herm's Inn. I have been meaning to blog about Herm's Inn for almost a year, but every time I go there, I always forget to take pictures. So, last week, my Dad came up to visit and he reminded me to take some photos before I stuffed my face. 

What is my favorite meal at Herm's Inn, you ask? Of course, French Toast. Their French Toast is marinated overnight so when they cook it in the morning, the bread caramelizes. Oh man it is so good. Not as good as Kneaders, but still the best item on the menu. It is different than any other French Toast I have ever had. You really don't even need syrup because it is so sweet. 

So, what is my second favorite meal at Herm's? The Florentine Eggs Benedict. Unfortunately, I ordered it one of the occasions I forgot to take a picture, so I apologize. I have tried all of the Eggs Benedict items on the menu and this is my favorite. It is an English muffin with poached eggs, spinach, mushroom, onion, and Hollandaise sauce. Their Hollandaise sauce is so good. The waitress even said they get compliments for it every day. The Florentine is $8.95 and is served with potatoes. 

Here is what my Dad and I ordered recently:


Macho Benny {9.25}:
(you have to say it with a scrunched face and deep voice)
Corn Tortilla, Poached egg, Chorizo, Black Beans, Avocado, and Chile Verde

I ordered the Macho Benny because I was craving black beans. Funny, I don't even like beans. It was weird. This dish was very Mexican. It did not taste like breakfast to me. It was hard for me to taste the egg with the chorizo that was put on top. The salsa was ordinary, the beans were beans, and the dish as a whole was bland. It was still good, but I would probably never order it again. If you are a fan of corn tortillas and non-spicy Mexican, you may enjoy this dish, but there is better.


 Traditional Eggs Benedict {$8.95}:
English Muffin, Poached Eggs, Canadian Bacon, Tomato, and Hollandaise Sauce

 In my opinion, going with the old-school Eggs Benedict was a lot better than the (last time, you gotta do it) Macho Benny. In this dish, I could taste the individual flavor of the english muffin, canadian bacon, and eggs. Not one flavor was overpowering. The Canadian bacon was thick-cut and the egg was cooked perfectly. When you cut into with your fork it didn't break the yolk, but at the same time it wasn't dry.  It all fit together nicely with different textures to each ingredient. 

The potatoes weren't my favorite. I wish they weren't cut so small. I like thick potatoes. 


 So when it comes to Eggs Benedict
1. The Florentine
2. The Traditional
3. Macho Benny


The waitress also noted that the Veggie Omelette and the Fiesta Omelette are very popular. The Veggie Omelette has avocado, spinach, mushroom, tomato, and cheddar. The Fiesta Omelette has chorizo, monterey jack cheese, and onions. Both of those items are $8.95.



If you would like to take a look at their menu, here is a link: 


Herm's Inn is located in the island. It is in the middle of a neighborhood. It used to be an old gas station turned restaurant. There is some history to it, check out their website below the picture for details. There is not a lot of parking, but you can park on the street if there is no room in the lot.
