Held annually in October, this event combines delicious food with a touch of Halloween fun. The Witchy Breakfast takes place in the heart of Gardner Village, in a charming setting that is transformed into a spooky witch's cauldron. The tables are adorned with black tablecloths, and the room is filled with cobwebs, witches' hats, and other Halloween decorations.
Powerful magic. A deadly legacy. A world at the edge of war. Prepare to be spellbound by fantasy series, The Black Witch Chronicles.
Civically engaged teen readers looking for parallels to today s social movements and the world s ongoing strife will find much food for thought here. Her naiveté and fear of other races at the beginning of The Black Witch is understandable given her environment, and her growth as a character into someone who senses her own power to change things, with or without a wand in her hand, is admirable.
The tables are adorned with black tablecloths, and the room is filled with cobwebs, witches' hats, and other Halloween decorations. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by costumed waitstaff, who playfully act the part of witches and warlocks. They serve up hot plates of delicious breakfast fare, from fluffy pancakes to sizzling bacon.

Powerful magic. A deadly legacy. A world at the edge of war. Prepare to be spellbound by fantasy series, The Black Witch Chronicles.
Elloren Gardner is the spitting image of her grandmother, who drove back the enemy forces in the last Realm War. But while her people believe she will follow in her grandmother's footsteps and become the next Black Witch of prophecy, Elloren is devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else.
When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren joins her brothers at Verpax University. But she soon realizes that the university may be the most treacherous place of all for the granddaughter of the Black Witch.
As evil looms and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, Elloren's best hope of survival may be among a secret band of rebels…if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to fear.

Parents need to know that The Black Witch is the first book in a thought-provoking fantasy series. Through this world on the brink of a race war between Gardnerians (the closest to humans, with all the power), lupines, the brightly colored Urisk, elves, selkies, and bird/human-like Icarals, debut author Laurie Forest examines prejudice, privilege, and even how to study history -- from many perspectives beyond the dominant culture's take. Prepare for a few bloody moments, mostly with creatures like dragons and Icaral assassins stabbed through the heart with swords or getting their heads twisted off. When Gardnerians get injured -- with broken bones and stabbings -- they are magically healed. A selkie (seal/human-like shape-shifter) is abused by a man who held her captive, with talk of selkies being rounded up and sold as sex slaves for men. Other animals are abused, too: A dragon is shown after a heavy beating, barely alive (with talk that dragons are broken by letting them bond to a baby dragon and then killing that dragon in front of them; and a beloved pet chicken is found hung. The rest of the content is fairly mild for teen-focused fare: a few kisses and some inflammatory rumors about lupine mating behavior.
The menu also includes seasonal favorites such as pumpkin-flavored waffles and apple cinnamon scones. But the food is just the beginning. Throughout the event, guests are entertained by a variety of witch-themed activities. There are storytellers who share spooky tales, face painters who can transform anyone into a witch or wizard, and even a wand-making station where children and adults alike can create their own magical wand. The highlight of the Witchy Breakfast is the Witch Parade, where a group of local witches leads guests in a lively procession around Gardner Village. The witches dance, chant, and put on a show that is sure to delight both young and old. The Witchy Breakfast at Gardner Village is a must-attend event for those looking to celebrate Halloween in a fun and unique way. It brings together delicious food, engaging entertainment, and a touch of whimsy that is sure to leave everyone with a smile on their face. So grab your broomstick and join in the fun at Gardner Village this October!.
Reviews for "Enchanted Delights: Witchy Breakfast Gems at Gardner Village"
1. Emma - 1 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Witchy breakfast at Gardner Village. The food was barely edible and the service was extremely slow. The price we paid for the breakfast was definitely not worth it. The witches who were supposed to entertain us were more annoying than entertaining. Overall, I would not recommend this breakfast experience.
2. David - 2 out of 5 stars - My family and I went to the Witchy breakfast at Gardner Village and it was not what we expected. The witches were not engaging and seemed disinterested in entertaining the kids. The food was mediocre at best, and there were not many options for those with dietary restrictions. The whole experience felt rushed and chaotic. I would not go back again.
3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I attended the Witchy breakfast at Gardner Village with my friends and we were underwhelmed. The food was not as advertised and lacked flavor. The witches were trying too hard to be funny and it came off as forced and awkward. The whole event felt disorganized and chaotic. I would not recommend this breakfast experience to others.
