I adore this sweet little bakery and often take friends here when they are visiting from out of town. There are always vegan and gluten free options available. Their oreos are particularly fantastic* and so are their croissants. *In the early days of the pandemic I ordered a dozen of their oreos and rationed them carefully to last as long as possible (which wasn't very long, because they are so delicious). They were little chocolate beacons of light during those very dark days. read more

The food and baked goods here are AMAZING!! 100% recommend. I find the drinks to be good sometimes, but they're inconsistent. There's weird hours, and most of the time there's a long wait, but it's usually worth it. Sometimes the service is good, but it's also inconsistent. Very cute and a nice atmosphere though. read more

Outrageously good pastries. We picked up 5, and all 5 were amazing. Well worth the price. The place was very busy, but understandably so, and so cute! We will be back for sure. read more

The only difference between a large late and a small late, is more milk, well that's a caffeine junkies disappointment. Maybe it's because they were busy before close, but they didn't seem to be to happy to be there and they missed the target on my order 3 times. The coffee was good, just missed expectations. One last thing, maybe they should trying calling out names rather than orders. No one seemed to know who's coffee was who's. read more

Best sandwiches ever. I don't know if it's the aioli, the bread, or the arugula, but I have had to rethink my scale of perfection. We had the chicken cutlet and the roast beef and came back later in the week to try the rest of the menu. Every last one was stellar. read more

Sweet Simone's - Best sandwiches ever. - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, Vermont

Food is really good but they have bad hours which make it very hard to ever actually go. Too busy on weekends to consider going as well

My daughter always requests that I show up with a bunch of baked goods from Sweet Simone's whenever I visit her at UVM. What a great find!!! Worth the short trip from Burlington. read more

so yummy, so peaceful ! the spicy maple latte - to DIE for! the staff was really friendly and welcoming, the cheddar bagel and the bacon breakfast sandwich are also must haves. can't go wrong with anything tbh! read more

stopped in for a quick bite to eat on our way up to the 'Notch. Great location right off the highway. Parking was tough on the main road but there is a municipal lot right around the corner. My group got: everything bagel and a sesame bagel with lox: more like a lox sandwich, $7 was a pretty good price for what we got, had a lot of capers. Yogurt parfait: 3/5 stars, the homemade granola was a little too chewey and threw off the consistency of the parfait. club richmond (hold the mayo): great flavor all around. The chicken was tender and delicious, the bacon was thick and flavorful, the pickles were a nice touch. read more

I inquired about a wedding cake and couldn't get anyone to get on a phone call with me to discuss. They wanted email only. When I originally called the girl who answered was extremely rude on the phone and again said I have to wait for a response via email and that she nor anyone one else could answer my questions. The woman who does their coordinating took forever and finally started corresponding with me via email. However again it was like pulling teeth to get her to schedule a phone call with me. She sent me a contract with 0 estimate of what my expected total at the end would be. Every other vendor I've worked with for my wedding has sent a proper contract with an estimate included. I explained how I was not going to put a deposit down until I got on the phone with her. I gave her times I was available. She again took her sweet old time responding so by the time she did I had booked another meeting during that slot. I again gave her other times. And was told none of the other times worked for her and again most communication with their clients is email only. This became so frustrating and honestly a huge let down. I told the coordinator due to their lack of basic customer service that I was going with another vendor. As someone who has worked in customer service and scheduling myself this is not how you treat your clients. Might I mention no in person option or tasting was ever offered to me either which again seems very strange for a restaurant and catering company. So the bottom line is if you wanna play Blues Clues on one of the most important days of your life put on a blind fold because there is no face or personality to this business read more

I was visiting a friend in Jericho and this was the spot for grabbing some morning goodies to go with our coffees. Small shop with only a few tables, but plenty of patrons going in and out with their boxes of breakfast goodness. Quite a selection of freshly baked pastries and muffins to choose from. I selected six to take to my friend, her husband, and her two kiddos. There was something for everyone! We cut up pieces of these large goods, so we each try a little bit of everything. A little bit out from where I was staying, but worth the drive for the smiles and satisfaction that started a perfect Saturday visit and catch up. read more

After reading the reviews, I was happy to drive over 40 minutes to hang around, drink some espresso, and work. Unfortunately they have removed all the seating in the restaurant, and you are not allowed to eat or drink in store. The maple latte was good, but not outstanding. They've also sold out of sandwiches by 945. Might come back post-Covid for a pastry, but not any time soon. read more

We had our son's wedding cake made here, everything was perfect from the delivery to the look to most importantly the lovely unique fresh taste. We could not have asked for more. read more

The treats are good. My matcha latte was lukewarm. Worlds smallest bagels. Wish they opened earlier

Always well worth the wait, food and service is unbeatable. Scones and bagels are the best.

Their spinach cheese biscuit is delicious. This has been my lunch on more than one occasion. However, the poppy seed muffin and blueberry muffin are really dry. The chocolate cake cupcake looked gorgeous, but the cake portion was a bit dry and crumbly. The frosting was a bit too dense, was expecting something fluffier. Overall flavor was good, just a few things that could've made it perfect. read more

Sweet Simone's - "Chocolate Cake" Cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, Vermont

I was curious about this bakery, which opened a couple weeks ago. On my way back from skiing at Bolton, I stopped by to give some pastries a try and sit for a caffeinated beverage. The shop has a friendly open atmosphere with 7 tables for casual seating. The bakery cases had some great choices of pastries, cookies, and scones including a gluten free option. I enjoyed my cafe mocha with a chocolate croissant. The croissant had a wonderful crust and soft texture of the inside along with a wonderful semi-sweet chocolate on the inside and drizzled on the outside. The mocha was a nice warm treat to compliment the croissant. Children gravitate to the pastry cases as it the assortment is tantalizing. I happen to be around to see a couple have a wedding cake tasting. They had three cakes (3 inch round mini cake versions) that looked great and friends, who happen to know the couple, got to taste these treats which they said were a delight. I could not help bringing home a sampling of scones (one sweet, one savory), a tart, and a New York style crumb cake. This bakery is welcome addition and draw to Richmond. read more

High quality ingredients ... so many delicious options. The homemade Oreos should not be missed!

This is a nice little cafe and bakery. They close early so be sure to get there before they do as you ont want to miss out on all of their tasty treats. I REALLY enjoyed the tartlet! As someone who enjoys the crust part of a pie and enjoys a good crunch, it was perfect for my liking. Would recommend and would surely return :-) read more

We stopped by a few weeks ago on our daughter's recommendation. Three years ago Sweet Simone's made a wonderful carrot cake for her wedding. I went head over heals for the molasses and ginger cookie. I immediately tried to imitate it at home but haven't worked out their magic. Don't buy them all cause I'll be right behind you in line for more whenever I'm in Vt. So glad my daughter bought a house nearby. read more

Just stopped for a quick nosh and coffee, Walked into a welcoming and warm ambiance with a lovely rustic touch.... love the pileup of rolling pins!!! Had the crumb cake and the cinnamon bun... beyond delicious! More importantly had a double espresso... prepared for the worst as is very hard for a true Italian to get a good one....well delicious! Fresh grinned, creamy and NOT BURNED! This place is a must go! Se sei italiano e sei alla ricerca di un caffè?! Questo é il posto che fa per te! Non vedo l'ora di di tornarci! read more

Amazing coffee and pastries! Nice environment to plug away or catch up with a friend. Seems like a great community coffee shop, walk ins seemed to know each other. The staff are chill, willing to have quick transactions and no fuss. It's a great spot to stop when passing by. read more

Absolutely worth a visit...I highly recommend their chocolate chip cookie...the very best!!! We also enjoyed the death by chocolate cupcake & pumpkin scone read more

Easily the best bakery in Chittenden county. Almond croissants are unbelievably good. Crumb cake reminds me of what I grew up on in NYC. The cupcakes (I've had all of them) are great to share if you're generous but I usually eat the whole thing. Even the cookies are delicious and buttery. Incredible flavor. I stop in every time I'm on my way to Bolton. Way to go Sweet Simone's! read more

We drove over from Essex junction because we've gotten really yummy raspberry bars made by sweet Simone at nomad. But it was a major disappointment. Couldn't find a blueberry in my expensive blueberry muffin. Would have done better at hannafords. Expect more from a bakery. Bummer. Also wish they included on their website that even though they were open on a Sunday at lunch time they were not serving any breakfast or lunch sandwiches only bakery items. Another bummer. read more

Sweet Simone's - Where are the blueberries - blueberry muffin - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, Vermont

Two stars deducted for the girl with the side-braid who has SUCH attitude every time I visit. I don't know if she's mildly prejudiced or maybe just always in a bad mood, but I've picked a different coffee/breakfast spot several times because her sour attitude is a deterrent. One star deducted because the baked goods never really achieve yumminess; they all need a pinch of salt or something to wake them up. The coffee is great, the location is great, the room is cute and comfortable... too bad about the other negatives. read more

It's very good, but not nearly enough seating. I always feel like they're eager for me to leave. So I've kind of stopped going in at all... read more

Super friendly and love having such a cute and sweet place in Richmond! Their coconut cupcakes.. Well actually all of their cupcakes are super yummy. Molasses cookies are my other love there. It's a cute place inside, about 7 tables to sit at. Want to try their shakes and ice cream on our next visit. read more

The vibe of this place is chillaxed, the coffee is good and baked goods aren't half bad either. solid place to stop and read the local paper. Maybe I'm nitpicking a bit here, but they could keep the tables cleaner here though. Literally, every time I've been here 2/3 of the tables have crumbs or spilled coffee on them that hasn't been cleaned up. read more

Consistently delicious. We have tried most of their menu and have yet to be disappointed. The desserts are complex and have great texture. The almond cupcake had a delicious chocolate frosting with a thicker chocolate ganache center and a wonderfully flavored almond cake. The almond croissant was flaky with the right amount of filling. The London fog was a pleasant combination of tea and coffee. The peanut butter cookie had the right amount of frosting. Overall would drive the 1 hour commute from Brandon again! read more

Wow wow wow! Visiting Vermont and stumbled across this place on a rainy day, and this cafe brought us some much needed sunshine. Friendly staff and delicious pastries! We might drive out of our way to come back. Best of luck! read more

Thank you Thank you Thank you .... to Emily and the Owner; unbelievably gracious and generous in helping me put together a boxed selection of delicious cakes and cookies to deliver to an elderly Richmond resident. Only in Vermont can I find such community spirit, where people help other people above and beyond the call. The food is sensational...the beautiful birthday cakes, the yummy coffee cake, that wicked sticky bun, and those croissants. But from today I understand more about Richmond community service, it seems all the merchants in Richmond care about their customers and Sweet Simones just made my day - yet again. read more

One of our only local options for baked goods. We had a terrific bagel with cream cheese and lox. Great coffee. But it is somewhat insulting that on more than one occasion, we have had baked goods leftover from days earlier (not labeled as such but just obvious when you bite into the item). Yesterday, for example, I pointed to a piece of crumb cake in the display case. Instead the person grabbed a piece wrapped in plastic on a plate from behind the display case and handed it to me. So beware to those that seek FRESHLY baked items. You will pay the same for yesterday's less fresh goods. read more

This place is over priced and over ratedThe coffee was was not hot. Warm at best. The quality of the coffee was horrible. As for the sweets. They look good in the case. But their not that that good. read more

If you want to enjoy some of the yummiest goodies around this is your place. The pastries and cupcakes are sooo yummy. The flatbreads are always delicious and have wonderful unique ingredients that change often so you get to try something new! The Richmond Club is so scrumptious! Everything I have eaten here has been delicious and fresh! I love Sweet Simone's! They are consistently fantastic! read more

The last 2 times I've came here I got the egg sandwich with spinach and tomato. I love it. The egg is big and fluffy, and the style of bread its served between is always perfect with a nice crunch. There is also some kind of spread on it and it's awesome. Iced coffee is always good when I come here was well. read more

Stopped in recently and fell in love with the cozy interior and delicious treats. My one comment is I wish that they regularly had lunch items. Even a small selection of soups / sandwiches on house made bread would be wonderful. I was in over lunchtime and specifically hoping for something lunch-ish but ended up with a latte and scone. I inquired with the girl working the counter but was told what they had was what was available. Both really, REALLY good but a wider range of food options, regularly offered, would be a great improvement. No doubt I'll be in again, though - really tasty! read more

Danger! Everything is great here. I think my waistline is paying the price. Cookies are amazing- as is the lemon blueberry bread. And the London Fog Tea Latte was dreamy. Worth pulling off the 89 for this little gem. read more

Amazing places - value for money excellent soups, sandwiches, pastries, bagels - 10/10 Go check it out you won't be disappointed. read more

I know many people love this place, but their baked goods are mediocre in my opinion. It's almost like they don't add enough sugar. I mean, I know that our population is more overweight than ever, etc. But this is a BAKERY! I go in for a treat, something sticky and sweet. I haven't had great luck finding such a thing here in my 3-4 visits. read more
