Thrilled to be the fifth person to review this hidden gem in Waterbury. I have to admit that part…read moreof the allure was that there were no pictures on Yelp for this business (no longer the case). By the time I left this place around lunchtime I felt like I was part of the family. My three hour visit included a blueberry corn muffin, red pepper chicken risotto soup served with a fresh croissant, and coffee. All for $9. (note: cash only). The soup and croissant knocked my socks off. I had visions of Oliver Twist slurping up stew and saying, "please sir, I want some more sir." Mmm....just thinking about it now warms my stomach. Note: this place is no frills. Waterbury offers free community wifi but it can be spotty in this location. The charm of this place is definitely the outdoor patio and fact that you have to stroll through an alley to find it. Double note: they sell breads, gingersnap cookies, croissants and a few other baked treats. The owner told me that he has been operating via wholesale for years but just recently opted to open up for a mini café section. Hallelujah.

We ended up gathering a Turkey wrap, broccoli cashew salad, and tomatoes for our dinner. They also sold a variety of soups and salads, kombuchas, fresh cut flowers, oats for breakfast and more. The broccoli cashew salad was fresh and delicious. I was a little bummed that the Turkey was but fresh cut and appeared to have preservatives/lunch meat texture. The staff we encountered were friendly and it was a great visit overall.

The place is run by several super adorable and amazingly friendly young kids (presumably the place is owned by their parents because they are too young to actually have jobs). My lower rating is because the prices are ridiculous! ($15 for two small adult gourmet snow cones? Yikes!) The prices are typically about half that amount in other places (including Hawaii). I hope they reconsider their pricing so we can visit more often!

I wish I could give zero stars. I reviewed prior to my wedding- the wedding cake was a disaster…read more She tried to blame it on other things at first, but actually refunded the entire amount (almost $700 for 30 people) so that tells you something. Taste wise, chef Perrin is good- the decorating was horrifying and I was SO EMBARRASSED because I made the cake a focal point of the reception. If you want a plain wedding cake- and I mean PLAIN- do NOT believe her when she says she can create "anything" - I asked for 2 tiny bumble bees and she made these huge balls- they looked like locusts made by a child. The cake looked NOTHING like the inspiration photo, the "peach" color looked dirty/muddy. It collapsed before the reception even started- and the gorgeous swing I paid extra for..... they had to put a table under it, to make the cake look less lopsided. So it was on a swing...sitting on a table- it was ridiculous -and she completely ignored what we spoke about, regarding flowers on top. Look closely at her photos and if you like the way those look- fine- but don't expect anything outside the box or I think you could be very sorry. To be fair- the flavors are good At some point I'll post the 1 nice photo I have so you can see my vision vs. what I got.

This review is for wedding cakes only... I noticed some killer looking bakery products when we came…read morefor our tasting, but made myself practice some restraint given that we were about to sample a bunch of cake.... Anyway, yes, we had our wedding cake done here and it was pretty good. We didn't really have many (ANY?) other local options, so they kind of have a corner on the Mad River Valley market.... There's a fairly wide variety of flavors and frostings, and you can choose as many different layers of cake as you want, so the flexibility is nice. I would say not to expect anything terribly fancy or the most beautiful intricate cake though. I gave Perrin a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like; it didn't really come out the same, and it was also slanted when it arrived at the wedding venue. The cake itself- we had 3 different flavors- was pretty fresh and moist, so that's good. Our main cake was spice cake with maple carmalized apples as filling- a good fall flavor. I don't really like buttercream frosting, but it was the only other non-chocolate choice other than fondont. I think the best was our groom's cake, which had chocolate fudge icing. Overall, I'd try out places in Burlington and elsewhere and see what you get there....the pricing here really wasn't cheap and the cake was only ok to fairly good. You also have to pay a $50 tasting fee, which is waived only if you end up using them. BUT, you do get to take home your samples.

Today I am inspired to actually write this review because it is my 2nd day off in 40+ days, I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted and if I hadn't had the kindest and most patient young person walk me through how to order a breakfast sandwich, which is no more complicated here then anywhere else in the world, I probably wouldn't have managed to order one. Thank you.

The interior was clean but self-bussed dishes were piling up. The ambiance was pleasant, the lighting and interior temperature were on point, and the menu had a variety of beverage options and sizes. No wait in line translated to being assisted right away by the female barista/cashier. She looked tired and overworked. We ordered a medium chai latte and a medium hot chocolate as well as the lone cannoli that somehow knew my name and was whispering it until I bought it! The dough shell of the cannoli was completely stale and the taste was not worth the $7-something I paid. It misled me by its tantalizing looks! The fresh beverages were delicious and hot and hit the spot, so there's that!
