    Nice, quiet, cool place to come have breakfast and start your day. I've gotten the French toast and their pastries. Came here last year when driving through for work. Came back and had a better experience this year. Places like this make me fall in love with Bellow Falls

    Chicken Salad Sandwhich
    Shannon R.

    Absolutely adorable! We sat on the couch right by the window, surrounded by art and plants. Our waitress was extremely friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich and the french toast monte cristo. The french toast was out of this world! Some of the fluffiest I've ever had, with real maple syrup. We loved the addition of the fresh watermelon on the side! The chicken salad sandwich was decent, but could have used a little more flavor. It came with a side of rice which was served cold; we found this to be a strange choice for a side. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been served warm. All around, a great expereince! I would ceetainly recommend stopping in for a bite. Please note, while they accept payment with cards, tips are cash only.

    A perfect spot in Bellows Falls VT, for a good delicious healthy lunch on our way driving through Vermont, either heading up to Stowe or returning home to New York. Serving hearty soups, sandwiches and salads. Piping hot coffee, cappuccino, teas and hot chocolate. Delicious smoothies and fresh baked goods. Open space. Always good!

    Roast beef with cheddar and horseradish Mayo wrap
    Carrie R.

    We had a most excellent lunch here! I would definitely recommend it. This is a charming little cafe that serves breakfast and lunch and also has a nice coffee/espresso to go service with lovely baked goods. The three of us had some great lunches. All were super fresh with wonderful greens in both a salad and on the sandwiches. I had a super tasty bowl of broccoli cheddar soup and a roast beef wrap. Sooo good! Don't hesitate to dine here!

    Apple cinnamon French toast, espresso chocolate chip scone, coffee, steak and Vermont cheese burrito.

    Stopped in for breakfast at this affordable and yummy spot! The coffee is self serve and feature really great and local brews. I had the apple french toast of the day and my boyfriend had the steak and egg burrito. The espresso chocolate scone didn't taste much like espresso but the chocolate chips were yummy. Great little spot with lots of locals chatting around, with super friendly and quick service.

    Meatloaf sandwich on sourdough bread
    John T.

    I read several reviews before I came and all I can say is they don't lie. The soup of the day was warm and filling and the meatloaf sandwich was not only handsome but every good. I would say more but I think my first sentence says it all. I would come back here for lunch anytime.

    Grilled cheese for the kids.

    I had never heard of Bellows House Bakery, but I soon discovered they make delicious cookies and…read morebrownies. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to receive a Next Day Air delivery box of sinfully delicious goodies from a client. The assortment was large and the task was daunting, so after work I invited my sugar-holic staff in my office for a closed-door chocolate sampling session. Soon all 6 women had strong opinions. - We first tried the Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which has a great chocolate taste. The consistency is good- not too hard and not too soft. The cookie is large and heavy and big enough to share. It's a great treat for any choco-holic. - Next, was the Almond Butter Cookie, which after the chocolate cookie, tasted a little too plain but very good. It has a crisp and flaky-like consistency and we quickly discovered that cookie eaters fall into two categories- those that like crunchy, crisp cookies and those that like soft, moist ones. The almonds added great texture. - The Double Cream Cheese Brownie is more of a cake than a brownie. It wasn't a bad size- neither too thick nor too large. The brownie connoisseurs among us felt that it was moist and delicious. - The classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was next. It is very chunky and filled with chocolate. Some likened it to Soft Chips Ahoy. Our bellies were getting filled; Our comments were getting fewer, as we were zoning out on sugar highs. - Raspberry Crumb bars, sit on a shortbread crust and are topped with an oat and pecan-studded crumb topping. Delicious and addicting. - Belgium Chocolate Ganache Brownies were not a big hit with my staff, but perhaps their taste buds were getting dulled. Most felt it was too sweet and the texture was messy. - There certainly were enough cookie types to choose from. Milk Chocolate Butterscotch is a large cookie. My tasters preferred the smaller cookies, where you can choose your portions. This cookie has a rich butterscotch taste. - The Peanut Butter Chip Brownie was delicious. The consistency is nice and chewy, with a subtle peanut butter and chocolate flavor. - Last, but not least, was the Belgium Chocolate Chunk Brownie, which are delicious brownies made with butter, cocoa powder, and walnuts. The warm brownies are topped with a nice chocolate walnut icing. It is very sweet and by this time we all had a sugar rush. I was amazed 6 petite women could devour all that chocolate goodness. They said Chocolate makes them feel loved and special and tastes great as it melts in their mouths. Nuff said. Overall, a very nice gift to receive and/or give.

    Originally a business selling just apple pies, hence its name, Vermont Apple Pie Company later…read moreexpanded to include breakfast dining. Its proprietors, Charlie and Sheryl have created a cosy home-like ambiance, employing rustic wooden tables and chairs and then completing the country look with cheerful red and white gingham tablecloths and window valances. Fun decorative wall signs, many featuring witty quotes, line the walls. Some of them will remind you of the virtues of patience. As this tiny place can accommodate no more than 5-8 tables, waiting for a table is the norm if you intend to dine here. The waiting area is on the ground level. Sign in when you arrive and make your presence known to Charlie who will check in periodically. There are several chess sets laid out for waiting customers, this is a great opportunity to hone your chess skills. You will be invited upstairs to the dining room once your table is available. Vermont Apple Pie Company offers an extensive breakfast menu (waffles, French toast, pancakes, eggs any style...). Everything is freshly made in the kitchen by Sheryl. It truly is a family affair with daughter Erica helping out. Ever since our family fell in love with their delicious waffles, we have been coming here whenever we are in the area. Their freshly made Belgian Waffles have a slight crispy exterior while retaining a lovely fluffy centre. Absolutely scrumptious with just Vermont maple syrup, although sides such as fried eggs, sliced smoked ham, crispy bacon, home fries and sausage patty make great accompaniments. Other perennial favorites include the Apple Cinnamon Waffles, Chocolate Chip Banana Waffles and the Egg Muffin Sandwich. Highly recommended if you are in the area and want to treat yourself to a nice leisurely breakfast.

We looked around at the fresh and frozen pies and they looked appealing. As others have mentioned, there are no prices so that was a little disconcerting. A gentleman came and helped us and as noted in prior reviews, he was somewhat gruff but I didn't take it as grumpy or mean. My take, unsubstantiated by any scientific evidence, is that not every store owner is pre-disposed to having a neurotypical customer-centric focus. That being said, we were offered coffee with our pie slices and a place to sit. There is currently a lot of construction going on at the place because the business was hit hard after COVID and then flooding in Vermont in 2023 caused significant damage. My blueberry coffee cake was good. I will say it wasn't worth $8 per slice. As noted, the prices are sky high here. For two slices, two coffees, a small bag of cookies and a peanut butter bar it was $36....$39 if I wanted to pay by card so I opted for cash and saved the $3. Probably if prices were posted, customers would immediately turn around and walk out. When I saw the price of the pie slice, I immediately thought "This is as expensive as Manhattan". I don't mind as much when I shell out big bucks for food there because it's expected but it was a bit of a shock to see those prices in Vermont. To wrap it up, I agree with others that this place is overpriced and service is brusque at best. However, if prices had been posted, I would have given this 3 stars easily because I appreciate a direct and no-nonsense approach to running a business.
