Breakfast

We serve a delicious, full, hot breakfast in the morning between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Our menu will include an entrée, homemade granola yogurt parfait and muffins made fresh every morning.

Old Taos Breakfast with the hens

For earlier risers, we have locally-roasted coffee, tea and juice ready for you at 7:00 a.m. Our morning breakfast time is a good time to get ideas and information for planning your day, watching the birds outside our windows and meeting other guests at the inn.  On chilly mornings you can sit by a crackling fire in the kiva fireplace and in warm months, you may want to sit outdoors on the patio and enjoy the freshness of the Taos morning air.
