My mom and I had free breakfast every morning they had served it at Cafe Opera starting 6:30 AM until 10:30 AM. The food was the same every day, but if you are allergic to certain food you may request ahead of time to cook you something different. For example my mom cannot eat anything made of chicken and egg. They provided her pork or beef sausage instead of eating the chicken sausage served for the buffet.
