M and I went to breakfast at Ikea on a recent weekend. It was so crowded because they advertise breakfast for $1. (And it was also the weekend.) This deal includes scrambled eggs, 2 sausages, and hash brown potatoes. Optionally, you can add 3 slices of bacon, or additional sausage for an extra dollar. Then you can add 2 pancakes or 1 thick slice of French toast for and extra dollar. Then coffee with refills included would be another dollar. So we ended up spending $4.50 each including tax for our breakfasts. We decided it's still a good deal and the coffee is quite good. Smart marketing don't you think? Oh, the pancake syrup is included, one packet per pancake I think.
There was a recent article in the newspaper saying that Ikea is the 2nd wealthiest company in the world with a net worth estimated at 39 billion. And it's a privately owned company! (The first wealthiest is a Spanish retailer.) It's been announced that Ikea will be getting into the budget hotel business.

Ikea breakfasts and food are good. They offer the same here, and lots of nice lunches, too! Valerie
Ikea is a destination!
I have never heard about this, I have never been to Ikea, but it sounds amazing, and the person that owns this company must be a clever person, wow,
Great deal! Lucky you! There's no Ikea here in Hawaii, but my daughter loved that store when she lived in California.
I wish we had an IKEA
Ha ha, I love to eat at Ikea.....breakfast, lunch, dinner.....errrr....for tea time too...lol!
As a swede, I somehow feel proud whenever I see a blogger visiting IKEA and enjoying it... XD
Have you tried julmust during x-mas? It's a swedish fizzy drink, I think they serve it at all IKEA's during the winter holidays... ^-^ (a bit early to talk about that now, but still... XD)

Virtual Boy, I haven't tried this drink I will have to remember to look for it during the winter holidays, thanks!
I had no idea Ikea serves breakfast! We don't have one around here...I wish we did!
This looks great. They were apparently doing bacon ciabatta breakfasts for a quid in the uk the other week. They have to do something to make the Ikea experience less painful (we are there a lot at the mo, and need a stiff drink afterwards). Not sure if I would want to stay in one of their hotels, you might have to assemble the bed yourself!

Lucy, that bacon ciabatta sounds good, nice to know what goes on across the pond! Thanks for stopping by!
The closest IKEA to us is in Chicago, about five hours away, although I did shop at one when I was in Phoenix Arizona visiting Son #1.
