I asked the lady at the counter for a recommendation and she literally looked at me and said I don't know with a face like she couldn't care less. Very disappointing. A friend and I got the same iced latte and both think it didn't taste great. It was pretty good. Not bitter. I got a cinnamon roll which was pretty good. One friend got a danish and said it was amazing. The place is small but has a pretty good menu. I would say worth a try if you are local. I'm thinking my experience wasn't the usual.

However, if you make your way down the slopes and stop by the Waffle Cabin to partake in a freshly made Liege waffle prior to completing your run, that might just be the mini cherry on top of the regular cherry on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is your life. Warm brioche dough crisped to chewy yeasty perfection with an ever so light additional crackle from pearl sugar. Perfect snack on a cold winter day with option of drizzled chocolate latticed on top or an accompaniment of coffee or cider although the waffle itself is more than adequate and despite its richness, it still leaves you wanting more. Forget about packing an energy bar or crackers, leave some cash in your pocket to partake in this necessary indulgence.

All their pancakes are amazing, even though with my sodium issue I only get a taste of my husband's. My ole favorites were Pumpkin and their classic Sugar & Spice with the perfect amount of sweetness and spice mix. I wish they would serve saltless grits! That would make this girl happy! I only eat a couple of the potatoes, they are very tasty however salt is used or the rest of you wouldn't be eating them....am I right! Of course, my eggs were cooked perfectly! I keep forgetting you have ice cream! They also have many local theme items for sale and don't forget to not head home with Vermont's local Maple Syrup!

After searching reviews across four states, Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice was clearly at the top of the list. Three hours after leaving the Boston suburbs, we pulled into the parking lot. The scenery was beautiful we were hungry, and we were happy to be promptly seated by our friendly host. Every positive thing you read in the reviews is true. The staff is friendly. The food is plentiful and wonderful. However... we were not seated in the main dining room. We were brought to an auxiliary room on the west side of the building. The most dominant feature of the room was the white interior sloped ceiling, barn-like wood paneling occupying about two-thirds of the horizontal portion of the walls, and a few coffee mugs and small photos resting atop the paneling. There was a small casement window in the center of the southwest wall. This room had all the charm and natural light of a church basement in Indiana. The comparison to the main dining room is stark. The main room has a view of the grill, and is filled with all the syrup and souvenirs they could possibly fit into the space. The main room is as funky and fun as the auxiliary room is sad and depressing. Will we go back to Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice? Absolutely. The food and service was wonderful. However, we would insist on sitting in the main dining room. If you go, you should, too.

With the order ahead option on Toast Tab, it's been so nice to have great quality lattes for our long days.

We loved their scones, both blueberry and the girls loved their strawberry rhubarb, and today I ordered a waffle with their maple syrup option with strawberries and it came out nice and warm. If you're in the area, you've got to give them a try! Great service and delicious coffee, definitely stopping in our last day in town. Sidenote, they have a super cute gift shop connected to the coffee shop with so many cute items. I got myself an adorable swag tea to remember my trip here to New Hampshire. Thanks Wayferer!

Stopped in on Saturday midday thinking I was going to get a latte and maple creemee. However when I get there, I saw some guys drinking beers at the bar which piqued my interest so I took another look at the menu. Why not get an Affogatotini? Caffeine and a maple creemee all in one! This was DELISH! The girls that work here are so nice. I visited twice in the same day and both times this place was swamped. They took it in stride and still had a smile on their face while working through the line. The Maple Reserve offers ice cream / creemees, coffee, pastries and serves alcohol. They have a little area where you can also buy pure Vermont maple syrup, jams, sauces, small kitchen accessories, etc.

I saw one woman chilling on her laptop who had bought 3 things for herself: a cup of ice cream, some sort of cocktail, and a boba drink. She looked like she was loving life. Made with espresso from locally roasted coffee beans, the affogato with maple creemee was absolutely divine. They drizzled more maple syrup atop the creemee. It wasn't too sweet and just perfectly creamy, as the name suggests. I was pleased to see that there were many gluten free options, including the waffles, which come on sticks like popsicles. Would make the 3 hour trip just to try those one day. The Maple Reserve is definitely Aya-approved.

The California Benedict was an excellent. The waitress asked me to check my eggs and ended up having them redone. The home fries were beautifully seasoned.

Worth every second of waiting, even if that meant delaying another ski run. It appeared to be dough, not batter, which was bizarre. But when you're handed the greatest waffle you've ever come across, drizzled with chocolate sauce, all for the measly price of $8, you don't question the method. You show gratitude for the moment, eat your waffle, savor every bite, and go on with your day, knowing that your life is now significantly better. I mean think about it.

The door has a bunch of stop signs on it saying to wait outside the door to be seated. The wait is quite awkward to say the least.
