My wife and I stopped by for opening day today. We've been fans of their donuts and coffee from…read moretheir Waitsfield, VT location. The donuts prepared by Emma are amazing. Made with love, the donuts are hand-crafted from organic flour nearby in Charlotte, VT. My wife and I enjoy the churro donuts, which are an amazing treat. The donut is the inspiration for the business name. It's a French crueler donut twisted into a textured halo (see pic), expertly fried and then lightly dusted with cinnamon and sugar. The first bite is heavenly. The crisp texture of the exterior and the light custard interior make for one of the most flavorful and euphoria inducing experiences. The light strands of the interior dough and the texture of the crisp fried exterior are a wonderful mouth-feel and "Mmmmm" inducing delight. The selection from behind the barista bar is more than just coffee. Selections range from espresso, to latte, to chai, as well as herbal teas for the "not coffee" inclined. I ordered an Americano (see pic), which Tay prepared with perfection. I added a shot of maple syrup for sweetness and sipped in satisfaction. The interior is still in need of decoration but for an opening day, that in no way detracts from the experience. The fanbase is strong with Twisted Halo. They sold out within the first hour and continued to bake to keep up with demand. It was great to see friends connecting with friends as they arrived, conversed, and parted ways, making this the ultimate social spot for a morning or post lunch coffee and donut. I would highly recommend a visit and to take a moment to savor the flavors of Twisted Halo.

More akin to a breakfast panini, the gooey fluffy egg and cheese, crunchy bacon, and bright onions were perfectly supported by two slices of crunchy, crusty toasted sourdough. Such great flavor! The iced maple latte was a bit on the sweet side but still very much enjoyed it. TBD on the scone, but judging by how busy it was, it is gonna be great! Service: Friendly group passionate about what they do! Ambiance: Small town, comfortable bakery where I assume all the netizens gather.

The little citrus sparkling water drink I ordered was dressed up with mint leaves and orange slice, a nice touch. I ordered the misomusto sandwich and was not prepared for the mammoth mountain of goodness that arrived. Rarely does a vegetarian sandwich have the flavor and robustness of this one. I couldn't finish, as much as I tried. Service was quick and friendly. The sunlit space is very inviting and I love the mural on the wall. It's always nice to see a business keep the original tin ceiling tiles. I see some comments complaining about the price and maybe it's because I'm from the Seacoast region, where prices are comparable if not higher for the quality of the food.

Anyhoo this is a large industrial feeling space with plenty of comfortable seating near the large windows that are prevalent on two sides. Natural is important when reading or working. The barista was a youngi-ish guy who was friendly and fast at moving through tbe near constant stream of people coming in on a late Sunday afternoon. We give a thumbs up for using fair trade coffee that is very smooth and having many offerings other than coffee like tea (hot/iced/ bottled), juices, sodas, energy drinks, and water. Yes you can buy Speeder & Earl's merch too as well as bags of coffee to go. Recommend!
