Came out nice and fresh but fell flat because the meat was so bland. The onions ring batter was not very tasty and also bland. I wasn't a fan of the fries. They are closed Monday and Tuesday.

For a coffeehouse, however, the lack of guest WiFi is noticeable, particularly since the venue is on a low lying spot with questionable cell reception. Would be a definite plus to get that. With the business traffic now evident, would be a great addition and would keep customers coming back. They stop egg dishes ar 11 AM so we settled for a delicious ham and cheese croissant and a grilled cheese. And an oat milk cappuccino. Good spot for a later lunch or breakfast.

Breakfast was delicious and pastries are amazing! Very disappointed that refills on (non…read morespecialty) coffee are not offered. $3.50 for a small coffee with no "warm up" or refill is parsimonious. Atmosphere is very clean and neat, but the dining room lacks warmth due to the industrial feel. Definitely a bonus for the area however, just wish they'd rethink the traditional coffee refill.

I was in town from Los Angeles for 5 days and boy was Alder Bakery a lifesaver! My son was at…read moretennis camp all day and I needed a place with yummy, healthy food and great wifi. While that would seem simple enough, it was tough to find! I even spent 1 day in Manchester at 2 different coffee shops and kept having connectivity issues with their wifi - needless to say that day's productivity was shot. Thankfully I returned to Alder and spend a whole day getting work done, eating delicious healthy food (breakfast & lunch) and enjoying Intelligensia coffee and great pastries/ cookies. Thank you Becks for being so welcoming every day and for the rest of the exceptionally warm & welcoming staff. My only wish is that you could say open longer!

We happened upon The Big Spoon and were delighted to find fresh sandwich offerings and beautifully displayed pastries-- just what the doctor ordered! Since we were committed to several stops on the way home, we purchased a Turkey, Swiss, and Spinach Wrap and a (generously sized!) frosted Blueberry Sweet Roll to take along. The owner could not have been more hospitable. He gladly cut our sweet roll in two for my sweetie and I to share and pointed out that there were dressings for the wrap in the sandwich cooler from which we were free to choose. The wrap was fresh and tasty, I chose ranch dressing which was a nice compliment. The Blueberry Sweet Roll convinced my partner and I that the baker knows her stuff! It was frosted with a delicious butter cream and the tender pastry was filled with blueberries--we will be finding reasons to stop at The Big Spoon as often as we can!

Breakfast buffet was disappointing after having it at their appleseeds in Bradford, NH. Less items, empty trays and wasn't packed, so no excuse. Nor as warm as it should be and no coffee included. Have to buy Stacy's Smoothies at a different checkout $4.35 for large, no refills. Forks were salad size vs full size. Liked the old store better. New is nice but traffic flow terrible. Need someone in there checking buffet temperatures and refilling. Very little room to maneuver between seating areas and buffet and in general. Also again, should not have to have a2nd place tobuy your coffee.

As a cheese lover, I was grateful for the generous drizzles of queso. You must must must order the chorizo dip--unless you are lactose intolerant.

After looking over the menu I decided on carnitas and hubs ordered a burrito. The food came out fast and the waiter was really good at refilling beverages and checking up on things. The carnitas were very good and they gave you a huge serving. The rice and beans were not as good but not horrible. My husband didn't really love his burrito but he said it wasn't bad. All in all, not bad. The restroom was very clean, too. I almost gave it four stars but the lack of flavor in the burrito and the rice and beans being bland are the main reason for three.

I enjoyed my coffee looking out on a stunning view of the Black River. Be sure to have a chat with Mike, the owner, if he is in the shop. He is charming and friendly and loves to share the fascinating history of the town and the precision valley. The town is adorable and reminds me of a Louise Penny novel. And by the way, the bathroom was sooo clean .
