Head to the nearby Gabriel Archer Tavern for a light breakfast or coffee. It opens at 12:00 PM on weekdays, so this step is best suited for a daytime visit if you miss the early window. For a sunrise plan, skip to the next step.

Walk to The Daily Grind near The Williamsburg Winery Tasting Room and Wine Bar. This coffee shop opens when classes are on, offering cheap and tasty sandwiches and baked goods. It is a popular spot for students and a cozy place to warm up after the cold morning air.
Local tip
The Daily Grind is only open when class is on, so check if the university is in session. The Gabriel Archer Tavern is open for lunch from 12:00 PM on weekdays, making it a good option if you prefer a hot meal over coffee.
