Interesting business model: high prices and no table service. You order at a counter and are then told where to sit. Your bill includes a tip for the kitchen, but it also says that the business cannot pay tips for waitstaff. Really? I paid $16.75 for basic breakfast eggs, potatoes and sausage. Toast was $1.50 extra. Coffees were $3.75 each. My partner and I shared one plate to cut costs. After the tip, the bill came to $33 and change. For one very basic breakfast! From a positive aspect, the place is immaculate. We probably could have refilled our coffee (VT Coffee) for no extra charge. Tables were very clean and I've never seen a cleaner restaurant floor. The staff who delivered our food were a grade above average. In exchange for the priciness and rigid rules, you do get a good meal in nice surroundings, but the price shocked me after all the extra charges. read more

Stopped for lunch. Sit down and to go service. Cute spot. Lots of options. I got the chicken salad sandwhich was big and yummy & fresh! My only negative is $15+ tip for small greens salad and sandwiches is a lot. However if you wanted something fresh and good this is a good spot. Lots of pastries!!!! read more

I have always loved the baked goods at Chef's corner. Especially the lemon bars. While there may not always be room to sit, when there is, you should grab a table and enjoy yourself. The food is wonderful. read more

Great quality food and baked goods! Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was cute and comfortable. read more

Chef's Corner Cafe Bakery - Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast - Bakeries Near Me - Williston, Vermont

We had lunch there on the recommendation of a friend. She did not steer us wrong. Everything is fresh and homemade, even the bread they use on their sandwiches. And it was so hard to pick just one dessert. The lemon bar was perfect - light, fluffy and not too sweet. Home run! read more

I have to say that Chefs Corner is my favorite breakfast place in Williston by far. I just had what I can only describe as the ultimate bowl of oatmeal there and it was by far a delicacy. Never experienced a treat like that and I would order it over a traditional breakfast any day. The waitress just told me they add granola to it but it's more than that. Try it next time you go!!! Great local hometown feel there too. read more

The only reason I continued to tolerate this place is the fact that they sell my favorite chicken salad. I'm no longer willing to put up with their shenanigans. They now have run out of it "right before I get there" the last 3 times I have been there. So I'm done putting up with the rest. They add a large gratuity to all orders (to pay their kitchen staff with) Because they are so dishonest they can't just raise the prices so you could fairly consent to what they are going to charge you. Nothing they serve is good enough to put up with their dishonest business practices. Especially since they are likely to not even have what I actually came for!!!!!!! read more

Beautiful pastries which I have yet to try. This is based on the raspberry vanilla buttercream cake which was absolutely gorgeous in presentation - the icing and ribbons of shaved raspberry/vanilla on top, slicing through you can see the beauty/work inside. And every bite was full of moist vanilla cake, with creamy but not too heavy vanilla icing and raspberry preserve. This and Mirabelles are my favorite VT bakeries. The rest of the menu and pastries looked superb too! read more

We ordered a birthday cake. It was beautiful and tasted even better. The staff was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back! read more

A MUST stop for a delicious breakfast, prices are a bit higher, but so worth ever penny. When you walk in you will need to place your order first and then they sit you down. They have a children's menu, the inside is super clean and cute, they also have outside sitting. We went twice and noticed the menu changed or perhaps it only changes on the weekend. Plenty of free parking this is a hidden gem for sure. read more

My wife wanted lunch so we stopped by. Having just had a tooth pulled, I could only eat soup but it was Gazpacho. So while she ordered I just ordered a Maple creamie. After sitting with my wife, a guy came and told me that creamies couldn't be eaten inside. WTF! He insisted we eat outside in the heat. It was embarrassing and it was rude. Been coming here for years. Never again. read more

Such an awesome spot for breakfast & brunch! I've dined here a couple of times and the food is consistently delicious. Always get some bakery items to go after my lovely brunch. read more

What a disappointment. They had stopped serving breakfast by the time I got there (I really wanted eggs), so I had a very mediocre and expensive ham sandwich. read more

If you are in Burlington VT area and not tasting these awesome meals from Chef's Corner, you are seriously missing out this hidden gem. Love their Egg Benedict (especially salmon one) but everything else is truly delicious. We tried many breakfast places in Burlington area but nothing can't even come close to this place. Lunch menu selections are great and their to-go menu options are incredible as well. Pastries are out of this world, too. Every item is perfect - not too sweet, not too salty, not too greasy. I wish I can learn how to cook from them. :) Highly recommend this place! read more

picked up a cake from the display case in the bakery and it tasted as though it had been in the case a little too long. In the past, any preordered cakes have been good but I guess the ones in the display case are risky read more

Food is fine for a breakfast place. However, the service was horrible. The restaurant was NOT busy, maybe half the tables were used. We met some family there, and they refused to move them to a bigger table so we could be seated together. There were tables that could have accommodated us. The older woman with the dark hair was visibly upset that we asked. I felt terrible for the other staff, they looked embarrassed. We were very polite when we asked and did not push it at all. We just got our food, ate by ourselves and left. When you are in service, you have to be nice to people. You shouldn't be in the restaurant business if you can't be. read more

Great food! The service the day we met was a little scattered so it took awhile to get all of our order but all in all a tasty brunch.

I stopped in there for the bakery items, the place was really busy but the staff was working hard and fast and managed to get everybody waited on as quick as possible. The bakery items i purchased and brought home were delicious, they were also packaged up well and the place is nice and clean and very welcoming. Will keep coming back. read more

This is a GREAT spot! The food is delicious, the service is spot on, and the owner is a super nice person. I enjoyed my lunch there sitting on the deck and will go back every time I am in town!! Oh, and the bakery items looked so good. Next time I have to leave room to grab a cookie on the way out. read more

Let me start by saying that this was by far one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. The best thing about it was how soft and fresh the bread was. The cappuccino I ordered was prepared well and they even had milk substitutes which was great. The dining room was clean & spacious which allowed us to fully enjoy our breakfast. The cashier was friendly and cheerful which added to the wonderful atmosphere this place has to offer. I would love to return and try some of the other food on their menu. read more

Chef's Corner Cafe Bakery - Cappuccino - Bakeries Near Me - Williston, Vermont

Amazing little place tucked away in a strip mall /professional offices area. New buildings and ample parking. We found it by mistake on our last morning in Vermont heading back home to Connecticut. It's one of the most pleasant breakfast spots I've had the pleasure to visit! Warm and delicious aromas as soon as we walked in. We ordered our breakfast from a vast over the counter menu and were given a number and sat down in the dining room. Our chai lattes came out almost immediately! A delicious surprise was the snickerdoodle on the side!! The Chai was so delicious and comforting I almost ordered another! The breakfast plates arrived soon after and were beautifully presented and tasty!! The staff is warm and helpful!! It was the nicest breakfast on a crisp fall day since we stayed in Chatham MA ... where we had 4 course gourmet breakfast each morning! Try this hidden gem if you're in the area. It fills up quickly but worth the wait!! We cannot wait to go back!! read more

These best food ever, my favorite is quiche and they make the best. Although every thing they cook is delicious. I can't wait to go again.

Food is good. Service a little miserable, ambiance okay. But what really grinds my gears is the added percentage to your bill for the kitchen staff. Don't get me wrong, kitchen staff work very hard, and deserve to be paid a decent livable wage, but not by the customers! How about you pay them more? Your prices certainly reflect a more than decent profit. Or have a separate tip cup for them where the customer chooses to contribute. Don't add a sneaky charge to save you the expense of paying your staff a decent wage. Shameful. read more

Stopped in for a quick healthy bite to eat and was hoping to get breakfast/brunch, but they were only serving lunch. Also, by the time I got there, they were sold out of their special panini. You order at the counter, then they give you a table number and when your food is ready they bring it over to you. The tables were spread out and socially distanced. You grab your own water by the cash register. My boyfriend ordered the Caesar Salad with Roasted Chicken and I ordered the Mixed Greens Salad with Roasted Chicken. The portion sizes were huge! I had a Hibiscus Iced Tea as well, which was very tart and tangy, not sweet to my liking. My boyfriend loved the Caesar Salad with Roasted Chicken and finished the entire bowl. He really liked the croutons in it. I liked my Mixed Greens Salad; however, I didn't find the roasted chicken to be good. There were too many herbs and it was a little dry. My boyfriend suggested I only eat the thicker pieces because it would be juicier, but I ended up eating everything but the chicken. On the way out, I looked at the bakery section and had to order a mini maple cheesecake because when in Vermont you need to try anything maple. I am so glad I ordered this. It was delicious! The cheesecake was smooth and creamy, and the graham cracker crust was sweet and crunchy. Perfect amount of maple flavor and really hit my sweet tooth spot! I recommend this place for your basic healthy lunch needs and any baked goods. You must try the maple cheesecake!!! read more

Yay! We found it! It's in a brand new GORGEOUS location but not too far from the previous location. The last location was a little bit tight. This one was very modern and spacious and even has an outdoor area. I label this "Fancy Yummy Breakfast" When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly hostess who explained how things work. There are counters filled with scrumptious pastries, salads, bake goods, etc. and a menu to order from. We were there for breakfast. Its not fast food but its not menu. You order and pay and they give you a number and you sit in a newly and beautifully renovated dining room and wait. I ordered ice coffee which was good which was not refilled. I'm not sure if the hot coffee would be refilled. The Tea service was lovely on all the dishes they brought out. They have a water station which is in a big picture and there are lemons available as well. The dining room has some lovely peaceful music. When we were there it wasn't crowded so I can't judge the noise level. I ordered the Broccoli and cheddar quiche and the family had the All American. All excellent! I added on the home fries and they were nicely seasoned. I give this a solid 4.5 stars. The menu is a little bit limited and to me that's OK because it is UNIQUE! There is no omelettes, some things do sell out, and it is a little bit pricey comparable to other locations. With the bakery items and tip my bill was over $60 for breakfast for 3. Yikes. However the quality, service, experience, dining room was excellent! read more

Fantastic breakfast and setting. Baked goods in the display case made my mouth water.

I have had just breakfast and desserts here. The Eggs Benedict is good. I am usually out shopping when I stop in so I don't have savory meals here. Long wait times for both take out food, dining in and dessert case. It is a smallish space and Is one of only a few take out bakeries with pastries in the immediate area. A bit overpriced on some items. Friendly staff, but seem stressed sometimes with the customer flow. Dessert case and ordering is right inside the door so it can get tight and ineffective to get customers served promptly. I LOVE the Almond Tuille cookies! CRISP and flavorful! The Creme Brûlée is creamy and smooth with lovely flavor. The other cookies such as chocolate chip, oat peanut butter and such are a little thick and on the "Chewyish" side. I like a good crisp cookie so I don't buy those here. The establishment is clean and bright. read more

Perfect spot for tea with a girlfriend or a romantic breakfast. We also get addicted to their baked goods.

Love the variety of foods they offer. Food is outstanding! Atmosphere is great. People are friendly

Excellent Lunch restaurant and Bakery which has been a staple quality restaurant/bakery around here for years. Owner and chef is Austrian by

If we lived here, I would come to Chef's Corner all the time. Full pot of tea for you or to share, multitude of pastries, fresh brunch options and great prices. Oh and the service is excellent also. People smile at one another, take their time, enjoy their meal and leave a generous tip. And if you are a loyal customer, they throw large self catered party to celebrate their wholesome familial staff and neighborhood frequenters. Their food is fresh, the portions are generous and I always end up taking something home. Oh and did I mention- they make their own chocolate pieces for holidays? read more

Stopped in with a group for some desserts. Was told that if having ice cream you were not allowed to eat in the dining room. They had no idea why, that's just their policy. Didn't realize ice cream was a destructive force upon society. ‍ read more

all three, food, service, ambiance. Great choices on the menu. Can get busy but worth any wait you may have.

VT Creemees are the last bastion of simple, affordable summer fun and memories for families and friends. Unfortunately, this Corner Creemee list prices that are WAY too high for the portion size. Basic sundae served in small, plastic cup with small scoop of ice cream, minimal tepid (not hot) fudge sauce, tiny spray of whipped cream and too few nuts = $7+. I'd rather spend a few extra minutes driving to Colchester (Village Scoop) and wait in line. You get twice as much! read more

Tried to order was left on hold for 20min and got no response then after following up on the order staff was very dismissive and rude

I wish I could give this place 4.5 stars! You order from the counter, and are tempted by their many many treats! They have a small but great breakfast menu. We then sat down and waited for our food. Their "new" space (I hadn't been here since 2008 is great. I ordered the all American and the home fries were perfection. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the sausage was delicious as well. Only draw back was they put two slices of bread on the plate that weren't toasted, and not good enough to just eat, butter or not! My gf had the pancakes. They were fantastic! Her chai was also delicious and it came with a gingerbread cookie. Wish they had those for sale Bc I would have bought more! Enough parking and surprisingly no wait on this Saturday morning! read more

Delicious food and amazing customer service. Friendly people. Wonderfully tasty food options! As for desserts, the maple cheesecake is my favorite. I once left with a box of desserts for a retirement party. Someone almost hit our car, people were fine, but the desserts didn't make it! I went back, the manager overheard me discussing the story. They gave me a nice discount on new purchase. I didn't ask not was I going to! I done there often! read more

Amazing French toast! Delicious flourless chocolate cupcakes. Excellent service. Very upscale but laidback.
