Breakfast - the other B

At the Heart of The Virginia May: Exceptional Hospitality & Gourmet Breakfasts

Every great inn begins with heartfelt hospitality — and at The Virginia May, that starts with a delicious, handcrafted breakfast delivered right to your cottage door between 8:45 and 9:00 AM. Prefer an earlier delivery? Just let us know when you book your stay, and we’ll gladly accommodate.

Your mornings here are more than just breakfast — they’re a curated experience. Fresh sourdough loaves and a rotating selection of homemade baked goods make surprise appearances throughout the week. Each day’s breakfast is a unique creation, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented — whether sweet or savory, you’re in for a treat.

Staying multiple nights? You’ll enjoy a fresh, completely different menu each day. I take pride in crafting meals that surprise and satisfy — often reimagining classic dishes with a Northern twist on Southern comfort. Expect fresh fruit in many forms (charcuterie-style, in a bowl, or plated), followed by an entrée that could include:

• Eggs Benedict with a creative twist

• Dutch Baby pancakes or French crêpes with assorted toppings

• The guest-favorite “Virginian” breakfast sandwich: toasted sourdough, mozzarella or feta, pesto, bacon/ham/sausage, avocado, and tomato

• Southern-style bacon and eggs with house-baked sourdough or biscuits

• Texas-shaped waffles topped with seasonal fruit

• Mexican-inspired tortillas,, or quiches

• French toast made with homemade sourdough or croissant bread

• Ooey-gooey cinnamon buns, fresh from the oven

• Breakfast pizza on fresh in house dough

Some dishes become beloved staples, while others are inspired by the season — always keeping breakfast a delightful surprise.
