A continental breakfast typically includes breads like toast, croissants, and pastries along with spreads like butter, jam, and syrup. Beverages such as orange juice, coffee, and tea are also commonly provided. The breakfast is usually self-serve and located in the hotel lobby or nearby room, with foods laid out on a table and eating utensils provided for guests to enjoy at their leisure, either on-site or to-go. Options can vary between hotels but often include some combination of breads, spreads, beverages, fresh fruits, and occasionally cereals.
