Breakfast at Bay View Waterfront Bed & Breakfast
 A full breakfast is included in the room rate. Coffee or tea is ready on the sideboard whenever guests want it. Fill a mug and enjoy the morning on our porch, in our lawn chairs, or on the bench at the end of our dock.
Breakfast is usually at 8:30, but we can accommodate earlier or later schedules.
Breakfast starts with juice and fresh fruit. The main course may be an omelet, French toast, eggs Benedict, or a strata accompanied by bacon, ham or local sausage.
There will be grits, rolls, biscuits, or muffins, and usually something seasonal from our garden or local farmers.
Fresh flowers are always on the table.
Here are a couple of our "favorite recipes."
