Served with housemade honey butter (add jam or preserves if you like), this morning toast will certainly get your day started right. Want something a little more sinful? Try a pastry. With options like raspberry cheese Danish, pecan sticky buns and chocolate croissants, there aren’t any bad choices. 17 Lincoln Square, Gettysburg; (717) 334-2367
