North Hadley Sugar Shack is a super cute spot for snacks, syrup, drinks, quick local eats, and plants.

Barely 1/4 cup of syrup for 3 pancakes and no butter. The result? A dry breakfast. It was an hour wait. Still has a cool factor but server was so crazy busy that she never offered more coffee. Probably best to buy a jug of the syrup next time and skip the breakfast.

Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Great pastries. Great food. I love this place. Wish I lived closer.read more

So I came in here for a mocha latte and some maple toast and boy I wasn't disappointed. One of the…read morebest lattes I've had in a very very long time not bitter smooth the right amount of foam and the mocha came through without being overpowering. The maple toast was sweet, delicious and just what I wanted today. A cute place where you can sit out on the sidewalk or inside the cute little coffee shop you order at the bar. They call out your name for coffee and bring your dish to you. Everybody was nice and welcoming. Now when I walk into a building looking at me you can tell which way I voted and inside this place 99% of the people voted in a different direction. That doesn't bother me and it didn't bother them. They treated me with welcoming spirit and a wonderful meal. All I could think of is I woke up for breakfast but what did I care? Wonderful meal with wonderful people in a great little town. I highly recommend it!

You can really tell they're made fresh, and the quality stands out with every bite. The speculous coffee was just as impressive--rich, smooth, and a perfect complement to the waffles. It's not always easy to find a place that does both food and coffee this well, but they nailed it. This place is a great spot to relax and enjoy a treat. We will definitely be coming back!

However, this place is sneaky about prices. Firstly, They do not list prices on the menu, and after seeing my receipt, I understand why. If you want to add mixed berries to your waffle, they charge you $1.75 per type of berry. I ordered a black tea with a splash of milk, and they charged me the price of a tea latte. They also refuse to give tap water, and make you pay for bottled water- a practice that rubs me the wrong way. It cost nearly $50 for two people to eat breakfast here. Overall, the place isn't terrible, but is not transparent with prices.

After a morning of skiing I was so happy to run into Waffle Cabin! It's located at the bottom of…read morethe mountains near where you can hop on all the lifts. You can get a plain sugar waffle or a waffle with chocolate topping. They were warm and fluffy - perfect for a little midday sugar rush. It's just a little take out window but there's a couple picnic tables nearby to sit at and enjoy. They also have drinks like coffee and tea. Definitely worth getting a snack here!

Worth every second of waiting, even if that meant delaying another ski run. It appeared to be dough, not batter, which was bizarre. But when you're handed the greatest waffle you've ever come across, drizzled with chocolate sauce, all for the measly price of $8, you don't question the method. You show gratitude for the moment, eat your waffle, savor every bite, and go on with your day, knowing that your life is now significantly better. I mean think about it. A fresh, hot waffle on a cold day, fresh powder on the slopes, what can be better?

Service is slow as they make the waffles and people can't seem to have made up their mind beforehand... so takes a lot more time than you think. Lines get very long towards the lunch and 4p lift close, so budget some time for this (or find a kind stranger in line and buy one off of them) - took me 30min of waiting in line to get my waffles, but at least they were quick about it as I knew what I wanted. Staff was definitely busy and worn out after a long day. Waffles are best hot - don't let it wait, though, they get a little dough-y after 30min or so inside the lodge.

Visiting the Maple Reserve was on my list of places to go while in Vermont this weekend. Touristy?…read moreYes. Worth it? Heck yes! Stopped in on Saturday midday thinking I was going to get a latte and maple creemee. However when I get there, I saw some guys drinking beers at the bar which piqued my interest so I took another look at the menu. Why not get an Affogatotini? Caffeine and a maple creemee all in one! This was DELISH! The girls that work here are so nice. I visited twice in the same day and both times this place was swamped. They took it in stride and still had a smile on their face while working through the line. The Maple Reserve offers ice cream / creemees, coffee, pastries and serves alcohol. They have a little area where you can also buy pure Vermont maple syrup, jams, sauces, small kitchen accessories, etc.

I saw one woman chilling on her laptop who had bought 3 things for herself: a cup of ice cream, some sort of cocktail, and a boba drink. She looked like she was loving life. Made with espresso from locally roasted coffee beans, the affogato with maple creemee was absolutely divine. They drizzled more maple syrup atop the creemee. It wasn't too sweet and just perfectly creamy, as the name suggests. I was pleased to see that there were many gluten free options, including the waffles, which come on sticks like popsicles. Would make the 3 hour trip just to try those one day. The Maple Reserve is definitely Aya-approved.

However, if you make your way down the slopes and stop by the Waffle Cabin to partake in a freshly made Liege waffle prior to completing your run, that might just be the mini cherry on top of the regular cherry on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is your life. Warm brioche dough crisped to chewy yeasty perfection with an ever so light additional crackle from pearl sugar. Perfect snack on a cold winter day with option of drizzled chocolate latticed on top or an accompaniment of coffee or cider although the waffle itself is more than adequate and despite its richness, it still leaves you wanting more. Forget about packing an energy bar or crackers, leave some cash in your pocket to partake in this necessary indulgence.

For this visit, some people in my group ordered the matcha waffle: matcha silky cream, chocolate drizzle, topped with fresh strawberries, while others including myself got the ube waffle: ube silky cream, drizzled condensed milk, and topped with fresh blueberries, bananas, raspberries, and coconut shavings. By default, these were on the liege waffle which is personally my favorite since it has a crispy and caramel like consistency. The ube cream was very creamy and smooth. The condensed milk was a great touch, as it acted like a syrup. The fresh fruits helped balance out the sweetness. The matcha one was also good. It reminded me a little of the dubai chocolate combination, mostly because of the colors. I've been seeing them add more and more drinks to the menu - mostly ones that resemble the waffle flavors. The prices have not changed much and they're still reasonable for the quality and quantity. There is plenty of seating in the lower area of their store. It is off of Thayer street so depending on the day, parking can be tough.

I ordered the crème brûlée coffee, and while it wasn't bad, it mostly just tasted like regular coffee without that rich, dessert like flavor you'd hope for. On the other hand, the tiramisu latte was actually really delicious. Honestly, I wish I could order a whole cake of just the tiramisu, it was the highlight for me. You definitely get more cake than the coffee, but it worked in its favor and tasted much better than the crème brûlée drink. It was nice to try, especially since everything looks so aesthetically pleasing, but it feels more like a place you visit for the vibe rather than a go to coffee run.
