It’s been years since I’ve eaten at Henrietta’s Table, so when my “business associates” suggested meeting there for breakfast, I was more than excited! 
Some positive advice for the day:
Thanks, Prescott! 
Henrietta’s Table reminds me of an upscale farmhouse with its rustic-looking wooden furniture, potted plants, and seasonal produce displayed throughout the restaurant. It was chic, yet very cute!

I love fall decor! It makes me so happy!

I arrived at Henrietta’s Table about 15 minutes early, so I snapped some photos (like a good little blogger), then ordered a cup of coffee, sat at the bar, and just relaxed.
A little tip for the locals: coffee at Henrietta’s Table is just $1 and it’s really good! Nice and strong.
Henrietta’s Table serves “sophisticated” comfort food that is fresh, local, and often organic.
Most the dishes on the breakfast menu were New England-inspired, like homemade granola and yogurt, fresh fruit, waffles and hotcakes, farm fresh eggs, and “New England favorites,” such as Red Flannel hash, poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce, house-smoked salmon, and buttermilk biscuits. They even had freshly baked pumpkin bread. I should have ordered a piece!
I ended up ordering a tried-and-true breakfast: Old Fashioned Oatmeal.
I rarely order oatmeal at restaurants– mostly because I make a pretty mean batch of oats at home. Plus, I’d rather try something different from the menu. However, I had a feeling that Henrietta’s Table would probably make an amazing bowl of oats, so I just had to give it a try!
The Old Fashioned Oatmeal was served with cream, raisins, and brown sugar.
Simple yet delicious toppings! They make me want to revisit some of my more “classic” oatmeal combinations.
Mmmmm! The oatmeal was delicious! Warm and hearty, creamy and sweet. It was a perfect breakfast for a cool, crisp New England morning.
I pretty much ate the entire bowl of oatmeal, except for a few bites. It was incredibly filling and held me over until lunchtime, no problem.
I can’t tell you what my business meeting is about quite yet, but hopefully, it will pan-out and you’ll be hearing details soon!

love henrietta table! its just great, consistant food. That bowl of oats looks fabulous! you are so right about the classic toppings, sometimes its always fun to go back to the good ole brown sugar and raisins!
I really enjoyed the dinner my husband and I had at Henrietta’s table during restaurant week, so I definitely want to go back… the breakfast menu sounds wonderful and you just can’t beat $1 coffee!
You mean you didn’t pour a jug full of cream on your oatmeal?!

Nothing beats a bowl of oats… I’m eating one right now!
I’ve got to make some pumpkin bread too… when you mentioned it, I got a huge craving! Have you heard about the canned pumpkin shortage that is going on though? The horror!
Wow, I would never order oats at the restaurant (same reason – feel like I could make a good bowl at home) but this looks absolutely incredible. The raisins look so plump. Mmm. You make me want to go out for a fancy breakfast right now (even though I’m at work and already had breakfast
)
We should do a blogger brunch!!! Wouldn’t that be fun?
@Elina: We should plan one there! I loved it!
Awww; this was one of my favorite brunch places in college…I miss that place…they have the most amazing weekend brunches…you should definitely check it out on the weekends…
