Once you enter, fresh cinnamon rolls are being made in front of you. It's counter service and everyone was so nice and helpful. They give you a whimsical item to place on your table (we got a wooden birdhouse) and that's how they identify your table as they bring the food out. We had the protein bowl and Avo toast. And of course a cinnamon bun. Loved everything we ordered. Super cozy place that looked like a local favorite.

We stopped here for lunch on the way up to Burlington and found the location by chance…read more The cafe / restaurant is tucked down an alley right along the river which makes it for an incredible view from where you sit. You order first then find a table but if it's busy find a table first then order if someone can order while the other waits. We ordered the chicken and the egg sandwich, wagu beef sandwich side of fries and faro salad. I was mistakenly charged for 2 chicken sandwiches ( waiting for credit to post ) but regardless it's nyc prices. Bill came to $70+ which is expensive. The food was excellent but for $18 you would think you would get at least one side ( fries or salad) for that price. The fries are $7 which again it's not a big town but charge high prices. It was a Monday lunch time service and our food took about 30 minutes to arrive which is long - I think they were overwhelmed and the staff was small - which is why it took so long. I understand it's a small college town but I'm not sure I would come back. Again the food is excellent quality wise but not sure it's worth it.

Housed in an old home in the downtown area, this family-owned deli is a community anchor in this quaint Vermont town. We had breakfast here twice and noted the steady stream of regulars who came for carryout boxes of donuts and bags of freshly made bagels. The star here are their bagels which come in a variety of both sweet and savory flavors. We recommend the bagel and lox with a smear as well as the omelets and bagel choices. We also couldn't resist their buttermilk pancakes which are served with a generous dollop of locally sourced butter and, of course, Vermont maple syrup (why anyone uses fake mapole syrup is beyond me...) Nicely crafted baked goods and fry entrees make this a must-try stop when cruising through New England.

The smoothies are good, but as a broke college student, I don't have the money to be buying smoothies regularly. (I instead find myself here when free food and drinks are involved!) (I do however want to say that my friend Juniper, a trusty employee of this establishment, had invented the Juniper smoothie, and it's pretty good. I'm not sure if it's still on the menu, but if it is, I'd give it a try for the heck of it.) The baristas are typically student workers, and they are some of the friendly faces that you may expect to see on campus. The roster of students working here also always changes as each class graduates or goes abroad every year. As a meeting space, this place is pretty ideal. Plenty of booths to sit and do work at, plenty of tables to do the same, there's even a conference room to host events like dinners or meetings.
