Another hidden treasure of a restaurant, located on Merrow Rd in Tolland, CT, Marilyn's serves breakfast and lunch Monday-Saturday. Small setting, decorated in all things Marilyn Monroe, owned by Lisa MacClain and her daughter, Bryn. I ordered an egg white omelet and chose my fillings which included brie. Brie may be my new cheese of choice in an omelet except for the fact that it is not offered in many restaurants just like the goat cheese I could have had. I had a fresh fruit cup with blueberries, strawberries, apples, pears, grapes and cherries. The coffee flavor of the day was toasted coconut. I love that Lisa serves local products such as coffee from Kevin's Coffee Roasters and soda from Hosmer Mountain Soda. Desserts are amazing. We got to sample a chocolate layer cake and a lemon cake while we were visiting. Based on the dessert samples friends my fiancée and I were having breakfast with ordered 7 dozen cupcakes from Marilyn's for her wedding in October just a few miles away and the owner was gracious enough to agree to deliver them on a Sunday! Great food, small down home feel, great accommodating service. Definitely a keeper!!!
