Breakfast at Monticello Inn & Cottage near Charlottesville, VA is led by Mary, a trained pastry chef, in collaboration with Chef de Cuisine Jeffrey, whose boutique inn experience and classical training bring refinement and depth to the morning table.

The breakfast experience at our B&B begins with a signature coffee service, fine teas, and house-baked pastries—seasonal scones, biscuits, muffins, and coffee cakes—crafted on site, including exceptional gluten-free selections that reflect Mary’s pastry expertise.

A composed, multi-course breakfast follows, thoughtfully prepared by our Chef de Cuisine and featuring pasture-raised eggs, locally sourced meats, and seasonal accompaniments inspired by the farms and vineyards of Central Virginia.

Served in an unhurried setting and guided by a commitment to craftsmanship and hospitality, breakfast at Monticello Inn and Cottage is both a ritual and a highlight of the guest experience. Dietary needs are graciously accommodated with advance notice.
