This place has really has it all. The breakfast here is amazing and beautiful. They make their own bread. The eggs are cooked so well. I usually hate the taste of eggs but they are cooked in a way that I love! Also the whole design of the restaurant is really modern and it has some of the most beautiful paintings on the walls. The only downside that I can think of is how expensive the food is. I definitely suggest you visit this wonderful place. read more

What a treasure! Found on Yelp~ better than imagined. It was a busy New Years Eve at the restaurant and we were greeted with warmth and a hot cuppa coffee. A menu inquiry turned into a friendly conversation. Our greeter pulled out the New York magazine from the paper. Brunch was AMAZING! First time- hope to visit again someday. read more

One of our all time favorite dining experiences! Ashley manages the front of the house and has developed a small but carefully selected wine list. She also creates unique and imaginative cocktails. Best Eggs Benedict's on the entire east coast can be enjoyed here. We highly recommend brunch and have enjoyed many dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings at RR. We have hosted special guests for a private dinner party at RR which was amazing! Our guests still talk about this dinner party from three years ago! And let's not forget the magic of Chef Michael who is always busy in the kitchen creating masterpieces. We have recently moved to Colorado and will miss this neighborhood gem. Thank you Ashley and Michael for many delightful culinary moments! read more

A place we enjoy either going with family or friends ,we enjoy our visit every single time! Lunch aren amazing and our grandkids like to go for their delicious pancakes. We'll keep visiting!! read more

Really really good food. Zoe was our waitress, can't say enough about her cheerful competence. You will not be disappointed.

Always, always an absolute delight. I would recommend the Pumpkin Croque Monsieur in the autumn !

This place has incredible food, it has such a sweet cozy atmosphere, and super friendly staff. I love this place!

This was an amazing farm to table eatery in Shelburne, it was so good my friend and I can back while vacationing in Burlington! The waitress remembered us and offered maple syrup for my iced coffee! The rustic breakfast was good, all of their meats have incredible flavor and their breakfast potatoes are perfectly crispy. However, I think the French toast was the real winner with shelburne farms syrup! read more

Rustic Roots - Rustic breakfast and iced coffee with maple syrup! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shelburne, Vermont

This is a wonderful little Vermont restaurant! Unassuming on the outside, yet it has a charming Vermont feel on this inside. The server was very kind and accommodating to my dietary restrictions, which unfortunately is not often the case for me. Generally our server will give me a look that lets me know I am an annoying inconvenience to them. However, our server at Rustic Roots seemed to genuinely care about giving us great service and making sure that my meal was prepared correctly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming.... Rustic Roots is definitely going to be our new go to for a delicious breakfast/lunch experience. I hope you will try it out for yourself. You won't regret it! :) read more

As good as it gets is spot on for this place. Crushed to say I haven't gotten to stop in recently but chose this spot for a HW assignment I had and when I saw they only had 120 views I knew I needed to drop in. From the eggs benedict to the goat cheese and walnut crepes you can literally not go wrong at Rustic Roots! Everything is made with so much care, served in just enough time to let you admire that months art display in the perfect portion sizes. Can't say enough how much I appreciate having a cozy restaurant this superb close by. Thanks Ashley and friends for everything you do!!! read more

My sister and I went there today on a whim and got a table immediately! The mimosas and bloody Mary's were amazing (great toppings). Our waitress was super nice and attentive. Both of us would definitely return! read more

This was probably one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! I ordered the Breakfast in Jersey and I've never had anything like it. Every part of the sandwich was phenomenal: the Shelburne farms cheddar, toasted Kaiser roll, and burlap bacon... Omg! And the decor! The interior of the restaurant is small, cozy, and beautiful. The front of house service was fantastic. There was only one young woman working in the front, seating guests, taking orders, bringing food, and busing the tables, but she was wonderful. The food came out quickly and she kept up despite a dining room full of guests. I was very impressed. I wish I lived in the area just to become a regular here! 5 stars is not enough! read more

One of the best little places I have ever been. The staff was so welcoming and the food was unbelievable. I highly recommend to everyone! read more

See all

Staff was super friendly! As we waited, we were offered hot coffee and a newspaper to read. We had the eggs Benedict and it was great. Overall, great breakfast and atmosphere. read more

Went here after watching the food critic on the local news singing it's praises. We live about 45 minutes away and it was worth every minute of travel. I had the salted caramel French toast and it was absolutely incredible. My daughter had their signature breakfast with bacon and home fries as well as a homemade popover with herbed butter. Everything is local and fresh which is reflected in the full flavors of everything we ate. The restaurant was busy so we squeezed onto the counter. The servers were all super friendly and attentive. We will definitely make another trip over soon! read more

Went for breakfast this morning with 6 family members. The service was right on and we all thoroughly enjoyed our choices. Can't wait to try out the lunch menu. What a gem to have in my town! read more

One word! Awesome! Had a fabulous fresh tuna Nicoise Salad! Service was excellent! Nice atmosphere, very cozy! Be prepared to wait, this place is quite small. Loved it! Can't wait to go back! read more

Best breakfast around! Their Bloody Marys, baked pancakes, popovers, home style potatoes, hot chocolate....the list goes on...all amazing! It's a charming location with friendly staff. And they make sure your coffee cup is never empty! I could easily go there once a week (and, to be honest, I often do!) read more

By far best breakfast in the area. Popover and home fries were amazing. The pancake was special and definitely worth convincing someone to split it. Hopefully the lines won't be too long as it grows in popularity. read more

We live just a few houses down from this restaurant and now call it our breakfast spot We go every Saturday. This place is phenomenal and we've never had a bad meal. Food is sourced locally, they make their own coffee maple sausage, and the coffee is spot on. This place is a gem and I hope people frequent it as much as we do! read more

This was the PERFECT end to my Vermont vacation. The setting is adorable. The wait staff was very accommodating. And it was one of the most delicious and unique meals I have had in years. And I was visiting from NYC, so I have high standards! I disagree with the post regarding the salad. We had both veggie and meat entres, and they were equally delicious and large portions. read more

My husband and I stopped in here in between client meetings. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, because the menu was on the short side, but I honestly can't recall the last time I had such a fantastic lunch! The service was excellent and the buckwheat wrap I had was cooked perfectly. I'm a bit of a food snob and definitely a customer service snob and these people met all of my expectations. I'm also excited they have art for display and sale. Hoping to bring in a piece or two of my own they'd be interested in. Make sure you stop in to this gem! read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Quaint little place in Shelburne. Definitely recommend

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. Small, artistic, fresh, local food. Nice wine selection and staff is friendly. Wish they were open for dinner! read more

The most unbelievable breakfast place I have ever been to anywhere ever of all time in any place in my life! The cinnamon butterscotch French toast... The apple cinnamon or blueberry lemon pancakes... The coffee maple sausage... The beer-mosa... Jesus. We vacation in VT often from CT. On our most recent visit we traveled an hour just to get breakfast here. There's usually no talking while eating here. Just "...mmmmph!!! MMMmMMmmMm!!! Oh my god!!! How's yours!? Lemmie try!! MmMmmMmmmmMMMM!!!!!!". So in short, your life is split into two parts: before you have breakfast here and after you've experienced the magic of RR. read more

Where to begin with this beautiful and quaint eatery? Let's start with the wonderful people that own and operate Rustic Roots. From the second we walked in, to the second we left, we felt completely welcome. Now - for the food. We were lucky enough to experience their "after hours" (they normally do breakfast and lunch until 3pm) small plate fare which they only do on weekends in the evening. We started with a simple yet tasty olive and roasted almond plate. The olives were fresh and delicious, as were the almonds and the small frisée salad on top (with a very tasty dressing). We followed that up with some local cheeses and some crostini - amazing. Then came the chicken confit - incredible. Highly recommended to check this place out for all the right reasons - the atmosphere, the people, and of course, the delicious food! read more

Agree with Heidi below! Unique high quality food, great pricing, prepared in a timely manner. They've nailed the formula for sure! Always a great place to eat! read more

Best breakfast ever! The flavors in the omelette were delightful. Asparagus , ricotta, peas, and the truffle oil just made them all pop. The home fries had a great flavor (you could see the fresh herbs) but the best was the great crispiness. The popover was good but the homemade orange marmalade was simply the most wonderful bite. This is s tiny place and they take reservations for 4 or more so we did have to wait but it was so worth it. read more

The food here was great. Kind servers. Definitely make a reservation before coming for dinner. They give you an amuse-bouche AND popovers with butter. I always have to have the homemade chips too so I'm full before the main course even begins. Chicken under a brick was a hit and so was the mushroom burger. Try dessert if you have room :) read more

Came tonight for dinner and it was marvelous. Highly recommended for Food & hospitality. Can't wait for an excuse to return.

Prepare to be blown away by delicious food prepared with the freshest, homemade, high-quality ingredients. If you're within 50 miles of this restaurant, take a detour! We had lunch- the sandwiches and salads were superb. read more

I've been to Rustic Roots about 10 times now and had a fantastic meal every time. I've been with a girlfriend, my boyfriend, by myself and took a 90 year old woman with me once. Ashley is a welcoming and friendly host and her partner Mike (I've never seen him) is busy in the kitchen making creative and tasty meals in the kitchen. The wait staff is always ready to serve me water and coffee. Every bite of the Lox Scramble was delicious from the Lox to the goat cheese and the perfect amount of fresh dill to excite the senses. The pop-overs are a great treat with the herb butter. Rustic Roots is a restaurant I'm proud to have in my community! You must try it!! read more

The food here feels different than anywhere else ... re-imagined ... and delicious! If you have a chance, try the house-made marmalade, it's amazing and I wish they sold jars of it at their tent at the shelburne saturday farmers market! Their breakfast potatoes are awesome (but be warned - they have bacon in them, which I don't think is mentioned on the menu, so in case you're vegetarian or kosher be careful). The popovers are light and airy, the butter is herbed (wow!), the bread is fresh and homemade, the meat components are very unique, and the crepes are amazing too. I have such a hard time trying new things because I love my "standards" but everything I've tried has been great so far! Also the staff is very friendly and nice! read more

House made meats to die for. Silky scrambled eggs. Perfect pop overs. Potatoes from heaven. Friendly staff. Decent coffee. I couldn't ask for more. read more

Toty agree with the 5-star rating. This place is awesome! Great atmosphere, great service and great food! 2nd time here and it never disappoints. read more

Go find this little place! So good! Great service, Reuben was delish... Very cozy. Good for a small bar/restaurant in Shelburne.

We went in here for a late lunch about 20 minutes before they were closing. They didn't say anything about it almost being closing time and were super friendly. I enjoyed my breakfast wrap - the buckwheat in the wrap offered a really interesting flavor. My husband devoured his crepe and sausage. The drinks we ordered - a mango fizz I think and a strawberry infused tea - were good but not amazing. I wouldn't opt for that again. The service was fast and friendly and it was a delicious meal on a rainy day. read more

A great find while we spent one week in Vermont. Loved the Greek style food and would go back. The service was great and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

I had a yummy breakfast at the counter Saturday morning. Service is always fast and friendly. Lots of offers for more coffee. They accommodated my request to substitute sauteed spinach for their homemade sausage. Great environment. Lovely art on the walls. read more

Great food and great service. Recommend the omelet. The salad was well made and interesting in its flavoring. A cute establishment with well fitting decor. Worth making a reservation. Brunch prices are reasonable. read more
