Thrilled to be the fifth person to review this hidden gem in Waterbury. I have to admit that part…read moreof the allure was that there were no pictures on Yelp for this business (no longer the case). By the time I left this place around lunchtime I felt like I was part of the family. My three hour visit included a blueberry corn muffin, red pepper chicken risotto soup served with a fresh croissant, and coffee. All for $9. (note: cash only). The soup and croissant knocked my socks off. I had visions of Oliver Twist slurping up stew and saying, "please sir, I want some more sir." Mmm....just thinking about it now warms my stomach. Note: this place is no frills. Waterbury offers free community wifi but it can be spotty in this location. The charm of this place is definitely the outdoor patio and fact that you have to stroll through an alley to find it. Double note: they sell breads, gingersnap cookies, croissants and a few other baked treats. The owner told me that he has been operating via wholesale for years but just recently opted to open up for a mini café section. Hallelujah.

More akin to a breakfast panini, the gooey fluffy egg and cheese, crunchy bacon, and bright onions were perfectly supported by two slices of crunchy, crusty toasted sourdough. Such great flavor! The iced maple latte was a bit on the sweet side but still very much enjoyed it. TBD on the scone, but judging by how busy it was, it is gonna be great! Service: Friendly group passionate about what they do! Ambiance: Small town, comfortable bakery where I assume all the netizens gather.

We drove from Moretown (based on several recommendations) for a baked treat and coffee…read more We waited in a long line, which moved quickly, and ordered a London Fog, Maple Latte, Maple Scone, and Beet Focaccia. The scone was okay, as well as the latte...the coffee was dark roast and WAY too much for wanting to enjoy a simple latte. We will say that the customer service was great. The staff that took our order seemed a little overwhelmed, but she was kind and provided great customer service. Our thought is that while the food and drinks are mediocre, the bakery appears to be known for their bread. We would have loved to have the opportunity to try the bread, they did look delish!!

Delicious creemees. Charming gift shop. Tons of picnic tables outside. Adorable and a must-go. 5 stars!!!

Tourist destination is right…read more We should have known as we pulled into the parking lot and left immediately. We started in the cafe, where the food was okay (the only reason this review isn't one star is because the individual that took my order was great, good customer service). The hard cider was probably the best part of this visit. ANYWAYS! After having a bowl of soup and sips of cider, we headed across the way for apple cider and donut(s). Well, we got the cider and a small cold lump of what was trying to be a donut. I LOVE donuts and wouldn't give this donut to my worst enemy. I can see how this would be good for families with kiddos, but not really something for adults if you want to experience this part of Vermont like a local.

The food was a little overpriced for what you get. I really enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros except there were some burnt home fries. The Eggs Benedict could use some improvement as the pork belly was dry, poached eggs were overcooked, and could use more hollandaise.

Bagels and variety!

As a traveler, visiting, I 100% appreciate the bathrooms size, and decore! Stars and suns, greenery, clean area, bag hooks, a bench for this bigger families. Amazing little spot with plenty of street walking, and you can take a short walk around to check out the cute town too~

Rating: 4.5 Came to…read morevisit for breakfast. It's a local historic bagel shop in waterbury VT. They specialize in bagels and cream cheese. They also offer some breakfast sandwich and custom sandwich as well. It's located on downtown waterbury along the stowe street. We parked on side of street and walked over. Inside is small cozy room with some chairs and tables with counter where you order. They have great selections of NY style bagels and cream cheese. I ended up getting a garlic bagel with maple bacon cream cheese and a buff's kickin burrito which comes with jalapeño cheddar wrap, egg, spinach, bacon, red pepper, cabot pepper jack, and home made hot sauce. The bagel was fresh, nice and chewy. Maple bacon cream cheese was creamy and sweet with subtle maple flavor. The wrap was fresh, savory and had a hint of sweetness, acidity and a kick from the home made hot sauce which was really good. Service was nice and quick. Staff seemed to be used to busy times so everyone was very quick but still attentive and nice. Price is reasonable as well the portion of the bagel, cream cheese and sandwich is good. Overall it's a great spot to enjoy tasty bagels, cream cheese and/or your own custom bagel sandwich with your own choosing. I like the customization they offer here and quality of bagel and cream cheese was good. They also sell their cream cheese as well separately and offer older bagel for free at the basket in front of the entrance for those that are in need. As a side note their bathroom is huge and has a bench which i thought was interesting.

We ended up gathering a Turkey wrap, broccoli cashew salad, and tomatoes for our dinner. They also sold a variety of soups and salads, kombuchas, fresh cut flowers, oats for breakfast and more. The broccoli cashew salad was fresh and delicious. I was a little bummed that the Turkey was but fresh cut and appeared to have preservatives/lunch meat texture. The staff we encountered were friendly and it was a great visit overall.

Reviews of the pancakes from the party were good. The chicken and waffles was obviously frozen waffles and the equivalent of Perdue pre fried chicken patties. The sausage egg and cheese sandwich was the worst I've ever had. Loved the vibes, but can't endorse this for the food, and presumably that's what you care most about at a restaurant.

I wish I could give zero stars. I reviewed prior to my wedding- the wedding cake was a disaster…read more She tried to blame it on other things at first, but actually refunded the entire amount (almost $700 for 30 people) so that tells you something. Taste wise, chef Perrin is good- the decorating was horrifying and I was SO EMBARRASSED because I made the cake a focal point of the reception. If you want a plain wedding cake- and I mean PLAIN- do NOT believe her when she says she can create "anything" - I asked for 2 tiny bumble bees and she made these huge balls- they looked like locusts made by a child. The cake looked NOTHING like the inspiration photo, the "peach" color looked dirty/muddy. It collapsed before the reception even started- and the gorgeous swing I paid extra for..... they had to put a table under it, to make the cake look less lopsided. So it was on a swing...sitting on a table- it was ridiculous -and she completely ignored what we spoke about, regarding flowers on top. Look closely at her photos and if you like the way those look- fine- but don't expect anything outside the box or I think you could be very sorry. To be fair- the flavors are good At some point I'll post the 1 nice photo I have so you can see my vision vs. what I got.

This review is for wedding cakes only... I noticed some killer looking bakery products when we came…read morefor our tasting, but made myself practice some restraint given that we were about to sample a bunch of cake.... Anyway, yes, we had our wedding cake done here and it was pretty good. We didn't really have many (ANY?) other local options, so they kind of have a corner on the Mad River Valley market.... There's a fairly wide variety of flavors and frostings, and you can choose as many different layers of cake as you want, so the flexibility is nice. I would say not to expect anything terribly fancy or the most beautiful intricate cake though. I gave Perrin a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like; it didn't really come out the same, and it was also slanted when it arrived at the wedding venue. The cake itself- we had 3 different flavors- was pretty fresh and moist, so that's good. Our main cake was spice cake with maple carmalized apples as filling- a good fall flavor. I don't really like buttercream frosting, but it was the only other non-chocolate choice other than fondont. I think the best was our groom's cake, which had chocolate fudge icing. Overall, I'd try out places in Burlington and elsewhere and see what you get there....the pricing here really wasn't cheap and the cake was only ok to fairly good. You also have to pay a $50 tasting fee, which is waived only if you end up using them. BUT, you do get to take home your samples.

I am tired! I am always a tired girl during trips, and today I needed some energy mid afternoon to…read morekeep up with all the fun hikes I was doing~ this place apparently makes their own curated beans, specifically and artisan made one and uses some local items like maple into their flavors. Ordered a simple latte with oat and maple flavor. Usually a latte either has too much milk, too sweet, or plain. This one amazed me. Honestly never had the perfect ratio of milk to coffee. The server was observed with another patron explaining his recommendation which made me definitely trust him and his level of expertise ~ they seem to offer tours and tasting but it seems like for the summer months, it's mostly mid week. Maybe a new schedule is pending weekends in fall/winter seasons? great pick me up for the rest of day activities ~ prompt service, quick and kind. This location has a tasting curated section in the front and cafe in the back of the red farm building. Perfect Ac, seating inside and outside~ Get your perfect coffee ~ prices are a tad high but I thought it was worth it. Not an everyday caffe but a fun trip coffee to get your fill of energy~

There is parking in the back area. We parked and went inside. It's a nice space with some wooden counter and chairs with large window bringing in sunlights. We went to the counter and placed our order. They offer coffee as well as tea and some original drinks as well. I got an iced latte with maple syrup. Ice latte was pretty good. Good coffee flavor with hint of creaminess of milk and maple syrup sweetness. It was a lovely drink. They also sell some coffee beans and blend as well. We were able to but they offer tours and some classes as well if you are interested in coffee and its fabrication and roasting process. Service was good and quick. Bunch of younger people were working and seems like some were being trained. Overall it's a solid coffee shop. It's on the pricier side but they are good coffee and seem to be knowledgeable.
