First Light

First Light in Corolla caught our eye for a vacation breakfast, promising a comforting start to the day with its menu of classic breakfast offerings. As someone seeking that familiar, hearty style of breakfast, it initially seemed like a good fit. However, my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. While the menu leans heavily into comfort food, those with dietary restrictions, specifically gluten-free needs, will find very limited options. The only accommodation offered was to simply omit bread or biscuits from egg-based dishes, which felt a bit restrictive. Speaking of egg-based dishes, I opted for scrambled eggs and was quite disappointed. They had an off-putting texture and flavor, tasting either overcooked or, surprisingly, even microwaved. This was a significant letdown, as scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple. I did enjoy the bacon, and the breakfast potatoes were good. On the brighter side, the coffee was quite good and provided a much-needed boost. The service was also prompt and friendly, which always enhances a dining experience. My husband, thankfully, enjoyed his meal of corned beef and hash. In summary, First Light offers a cozy, comfort-food atmosphere, and if you're looking for a straightforward, traditional breakfast without dietary concerns, it might hit the spot. However, for those needing gluten-free options or expecting perfectly cooked eggs, it might be worth exploring other breakfast spots in Corolla.

Such a great restaurant for all meals. Good gluten-free omlet.
