What a gem! My…read morefriend recommended me to stop by this bakery. When I walked in the smell of coffee was very strong. The guy behind the counter was busy putting the coffee beans in containers. I asked him for recommendations. Of course the number one thing is cinnamon frosted croissant. There were only 3 left for the day. I also bought a cookie, iced latte, and 2 bags of coffee beans. The cookie and the croissant were excellent. The iced latte was also very good. Will try the coffee beans when I get home. So glad we got to stop by. Highly recommend.

Speakeasy Café in Rutland is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile…read more The interiors are playful and full of character with artsy murals, whimsical sketches, and cozy speakeasy vibes that make the space feel instantly welcoming. The sugar house coffee was a standout. Rich, smooth, and exactly what you want on a cold Vermont morning. We also tried the handmade biscuit, warmed and buttered, and it genuinely felt like a hug in biscuit form. Shoutout to Ethan for being incredibly helpful and thoughtful with recommendations. With his guidance, we built a fantastic sandwich with sourdough, hash browns, avocado, green sauce, and chili crunch. He understood the assignment. Messy, hearty, and delicious. The vegan wrap was also flavorful and satisfying. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend Speakeasy Café, especially if you're looking for strong vegetarian and vegan options in Rutland.

Visiting the Maple Reserve was on my list of places to go while in Vermont this weekend. Touristy?…read moreYes. Worth it? Heck yes! 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.

Ever go to a place so much you forget you never did a Yelp review?…read more Well this place is a gem. Sure the candy or the wine is nice. And the local souvenir gifts are a plus. But you come here in part for three things: the maple syrup (nuff said), the view, and the Maple Creemees. We could call it soft serve but well, Vermont. The creemees are delish. Affordable and big they are perfect on a summer day, a fall, day or even a winter day. Then take it out and eat by the lake? Heavenly. Nice people. Well worth the stop.
