Mirabelle's is without a doubt the best bakery I've been to in Vermont! Everything I've tried here…read morehas been fantastic but the standout is the crème brûlée cake. Probably the best cake I've ever had. Ever. A must try! My best friend served the crème brûlée cake at her wedding a few years ago and guests from out of the area still talk about it. The cinnamon rolls are also unique and out of this world. They look kind of dry compared to classic soft cinnamon rolls but I tried one because a lot of reviewers recommended them and they were incredible and not dry at all. They must use a laminated dough instead of a regular enriched yeasted dough so you get sweet cinnamon flavor in every flakey buttery bite.

An Essex gem! The…read moreQuality Bake Shop is a no frills cash only bakery and diner that has been operating in Essex for over 70 years as of 2025. The service is always very quick, the workers are friendly, and the food is excellent. The coffee is a great mellow drip coffee that I can only seem to find in diners in the northeast. Their donuts and pastries are light, fluffy, and made fresh daily (make sure to get there early before they sell out!). Beyond these, they have a great classic diner menu for breakfast and lunch at affordable prices.

Fantastic staff. They were all very polite and the place a had a great ambianchowever the food…read more.. Fish and chips were some of the worst I've had. No seasoning on fish or fries. Fries were extremely soggy. The Cole slaw I took one bite and it was most definitely bad not to mention again... no seasoning or flavor other than a sour taste which I'm 99% sure it was bad. The macaroni.... the blandest macaroni I've ever tasted. No seasoning again. No salt. Not even the breadcrumbs ontop tasted like anything. This tells me it's low quality food without any seasoning? Salad was bland. Ranch was bland. I had a few pieces of lettuce with mostly croutons. I'm mostly perplexed by how you can even make food taste so bland? I did get an assortment of pies which looked delicious but haven't had yet. Extremely disappointing experience. If you do go here I suggest bringing your own spices. $50 for all of this food to only be able to eat the fish. Don't waste your time here

Shiel did the desserts for our June wedding at Skinner Barn, and we were thrilled with the result…read more We had tasted desserts at multiple places before meeting with Shiel and sampling her amazing baked goods, but a few bites into our tasting we were completely sold. The hard part was narrowing down the options, because everything we tasted was outstanding. We ended up with macaroons, shortbread, hand pies, chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, two different types of sandwich cookies, and glazed doughnuts with vanilla bean cream. Months after our wedding, our friends and family still rave to us about those doughnuts! Our only regret is that we didn't save a couple of them for ourselves, because they went fast. Shiel was incredibly professional and easy to work with, and we were excited to be able to support and up-and-coming Vermont baker. Jam Bakery was the perfect choice for our wedding, and we can't wait to track down some of her treats the next time we are in Vermont!

With the nice weather lately, I've been on a mission to try out new ice cream shops, and I'm so…read moreglad I stumbled upon Sweet Scoops! This was my first time visiting, and it was such a great experience. I ordered from their Classic Sundae options and went with a large Strawberry Sundae -- and it did not disappoint! The strawberry ice cream was creamy, refreshing, and packed with real strawberry flavor. Topped with whipped cream and that perfect cherry on top, it was the perfect sweet treat to enjoy on a warm day. Sweet Scoops has a fun, casual vibe. There's no indoor seating; you order from the window and can grab a spot on one of the nearby benches to relax and enjoy your ice cream. It's simple, classic, and perfect for soaking up the sunshine while savoring a delicious dessert. The service was friendly and quick, even with a steady line of customers. You can tell this place is a local favorite. Sweet Scoops is definitely a spot I'll be revisiting -- great ice cream, great outdoor setup, and a perfect place to enjoy a summer afternoon. Highly recommend!
