- Breakfast is served by reservation, usually on the quarter hour between 8:00am and 9:15am. If your plans change and you need a different time or you cannot make breakfast, please text the innkeeper.
- It can often be chilly on the patio, so you might want to bring a sweater or light jacket with you to breakfast. Breakfast is served 1-2 at a table.
