Blood orange jam and toasted hazelnut bun
Ashley T.

Every time we go to Haymaker, everything is perfect. The buns are incredible (can't go wrong) and the flavors are fun and creative. We miss living right next door, so on our weekend trip to Vermont we couldn't miss a trip to Haymaker.

Shakshuka Toast-2025

Love, Love , LOVE everything about this place! Food is phenomenal- Just crazy about the variety of brioche buns from dessert style, to savory with wild mushroom, Vermont Cheese, and herbs. So many rotating options. I am stuck on the Shakshuka Toast! Unique and outstandingly delicious. See my pictures! Staff remembers everyone and is kind, good hearted, professional and seriously well versed on EVERYTHING! Order and pay at the counter and they will give you a special marker item for you to put on your table for the staff to identify you and serve your meal. Outdoor seating on the beautiful deck overlooking the Otter Creek River a view of the historic buildings of Middlebury! Inside- 2 levels of seating. First Come-First Seated! Sometimes the bakers give presentations on making their Buns on a long table near the bakery area=where the buns are! I had the opportunity to watch house baker Elio roll out and create fresh OG Buns...so much fun! I have become a regular here and encourage everyone and anyone to enjoy the food and ambiance! P.S. Do not forget to pick up some 4 pack House made OG buns to put in your own fridge/freezer!

I wish we were hungry enough for a meal, the maple iced Latte and OG bun we had were delicious. The gentlemen behind the counter were super friendly and the building and location is fabulous! I hope to return on my next visit to Vermont!

Who would have thought in a small town one could find great buns & good coffee? I was treated to a bun another day,& it was full of warm buttery vegetables. Ok the veggies are healthy & the butter is not. It's super tasty though. Today I ordered an iced pistachio latte. It was very good, although admittedly I've had better elsewhere. The workers were very fun to chat with, & the ambiance & location on the river are very cool.

Cinnamon sugar latte with oat milk

This was some of the best food we had on our Vermont vacation. Stopped at the Middlebury location for lunch on our drive to Burlington and had two amazing salads. Yes, you read that correctly, amazing salads!!! They were just perfectly dressed, crispy and textured, and so well seasoned. My partner had the kale salad and the kale was actually softened, which took it to another level. We also had the funfetti cookie and brownie. My gf said the brownie is the best she's ever had, and I had to agree. It's somehow both cakey and fudgy at the same time. We also ordered cinnamon sugar lattes, which were bangin--not overly sweet and you could actually taste the coffee. We loved it so much we decided to visit the Burlington location the next morning to try the buns. I ordered all three sweet varieties and omg... out of this world. They are so soft and light but packed with flavor. The Oreo bun was a masterpiece--how did they make such a light dough so chocolatey?? Just wow overall. Service was great at both locations, but especially in Middlebury. The Middlebury location was also a great place to sit and eat--lots of space and natural light. I didn't spend time at the Burlington location (just took the buns to go), but it looked nice in there too. One note: the Burlington location can only do drip coffee, but there is a coffee shop next door for your espresso needs. 10/10 would recommend.

Our party had steak salad and steak sandwich today and the steak was very tough and hard to slice or chew.
