Breakfast Table When company comes, it’s nice to set the table for a proper breakfast. You won’t need a salad fork, but if you’re serving a hot cereal like oatmeal, you may want a place spoon. You can also put the teaspoon on the table in this instance, since coffee will be served from the beginning of the meal. A juice glass is the only necessary stemware, although you may want to serve ice water, in which case you could add a water goblet.
