Question about breakfast

Hi my friends:

I would like to know how to say this idea in English:

¿A qué hora no tomas desayuno?

Which one is grammatically correct: What time do you not have breakfast? or What time don't you have breakfast?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Both are correct, but it's an odd question in English. Do you often need to ask questions like that in Spanish?

Yes. That's to say, if you usually have breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning, then there is no single time at which you don't have breakfast, so that the question and answer go something like this:

-- What time don't you have breakfast?
-- All day except at 8 o'clock in the morning.
