    The owner kept emailing me over and over again, even when I didn't respond. She made fun of a previous customer for dying of cancer.

    If you like being called a "little bitch" by your server/manager or made fun of for dying of cancer by the owner, then this restaurant is great! However, if you like being treated like a decent human being, then I highly suggest you stay far far away. Let me explain... First of all, their name is Tulip Cafe & Creperie. When we went, there was not a single crepe to be found on the menu. We asked if there was a breakfast menu and the waiter just said "no" as if we were annoying him by asking and walked away. Then he returned with warm tap water. My friend ordered the lamb kabob for $26. For that price in a dumpy little town restaurant, you'd think you'd get more than 4 small pieces of lamb. But the serving was pretty pathetic. We politely asked the server if the order was correct because it was so small. He rudely said "That's what you ordered. Now eat it." He dismissed any attempt at trying to reconcile the situation responding to all our questions with a similarly dismissive answer before storming away. We called the manager over, expecting that he may have been better trained in customer service. Instead, he called my friend a "little bitch" and said he was "throwing a temper tantrum" when my friend just calmly asked a question. The manager then snatched the plate off the table, stacked a filthy, used plate on top of my friend's uneaten food and screamed in his face "You lost your chance to eat this. And you WILL pay for it." A few minutes later I gave him a chance to apologize and he said "if you act like a little bitch, I'm gonna call you a little bitch." Crunched for time before a flight, my friend was left to beg for his food back and eat the contaminated meal. And it wasn't even good. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I kindly emailed the owners to alert them of this unacceptable behavior from their staff. Not only was the behavior extremely uncalled for, but stacking a dirty dish on top of an uneaten meal violates health codes, especially during a global pandemic. I sent the email to do them a favor, expecting nothing in return. However, the response I received from the owner was incredibly shocking. You can read my polite, objective email below, as well as the 6 responses she sent me. There were more, and she's still emailing me. In fact, as I write this sentence I just got another email. There have been more than 10 total. I think I responded to like 2 of them, but they just keep coming. In one of them, she made fun of a customer because he complained about her fries and then recently died of cancer. She's probably going to respond to this review with something nasty too like she's done to other reviews. I'd expect nothing less of her at this point. So if you've read this far and still want to eat here... good luck. Don't get the lamb kabob.

    Oh goodness, what I wouldn't give to have another bite of one delicious french toast breakfast with Vermont cheese and maple syrup! Yum! I think I ordered this because it mentioned "Vermont" twice, lol, so it seemed like it would be quite "local". I don't know that I'd ever thought of having French toast with cheese before, but it was amazing! I reluctantly shared one bite with my boyfriend, but fortunately he was really enjoying his salmon crepe, so he was good to stop at one bite :). Our server was very gracious and informative about the area as well! Can't wait to visit this place and this town again!

    This was our first choice for lunch, but looking at the menu outside, no sign of any crepes at all, so we did not go in.

    Far and away the best takeout crabcakes in VT. Not saying they're Maryland crabcakes, but still rather tasty stop a salad.

They have a huge book selection that dominates the area where it could be useful for seating and more accommodating patrons. They do have a counter area where you can sit. One very large couch and chair. Actually felt a little stressed because of the claustrophobic nature of how they have it arranged. Overall, I would go back.

My wife and I love to check out…read morecoffee spots when we are traveling and seeing small bits about this place made me know it was a must stop. Just imagine a book store meets a coffee shop that also has delicious looking sweet treats (chai donuts was what caught my eye). Telling my wife those little bits about it made her eyes light up with excitement! We showed up and thankfully the major rush already passed and snagged a parking spot. Be mindful it is a small place with minimal parking. We walked inside and looked all around, my wife jumped to the books to browse (pictures of those can be seen on the Antidote Books listing). She did have lots of time to browse, because they only had one barista taking orders then also making them. This would be the only negative I would have to say of this place, I felt bad that it seemed the worker had too much to do. It resulted in quite a wait and I could see them losing some business during rushes from this. I know the space is small but having someone take orders and one making drinks could help. Despite this I still feel they deserve five stars! I got their Golden Sun Milk Iced Latte and my wife got their Iced Matcha Latte. Both were very tasty, expertly made for sure. Also we were lucky enough to get the very last chai donut, and it had a rose frosting. It tasted like gingerbread because the chai spices, wish we could have had more than one. A spot we would definitely return to and try more drinks and bites! No books that we wanted to buy but glad to have found a combo coffee shop/book store. Stop here and give it a try!

    New year, new review…read more Popped in after a morning of skiing New Year's Day and place was packed for lunch! I didn't mind as I was in no rush. As I waited in line I enjoyed conversations with both the people in front and behind me whom all have never been before. The joy and excitement on their faces as they made their way to order was priceless. As for myself, a small mac to help start the new year strong for total lbs sold (81k in 2024) and a small pulled pork. Wanted to order some other things but my refrigerator is full at home, so another time. If this will be your first time, just be aware of parking could be very busy as there's not much. Both ways before pull out of parking spaces as well. Main road can be a cluster at times. I also recommend getting lots of little things rather than a little of a lot. You can always come back for more!

There are 2 lines - deli and sandwiches. Great selection of Vermont-made snacks, drinks, and souvenirs as well. I ordered: - Macaroni and cheese ($4.29 per 1/2 lb) made with Vermont's Cabot cheddar cheese - very creamy, cheesy, and had a perfect texture. - Maple BBQ Pulled Pork ($5.99 per 1/2 lb) - very juicy and moist - Turkey Sandwich - had this the next day and it was still tasty. Not dry at all. All were very flavorful and delicious! Highly recommend visiting ~ I can't wait to be back :)

They are the sister eatery to Echo Restaurant & Lounge. They offer breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, omelettes, waffles, French toast, and breakfast sides. They also offer BYO deli sandwiches & wraps, hot sandwiches, & wraps salads, loaded spuds, wings, and fried foods. The place is order at the counter and there are a few tables inside nearby. There is also outside seating area (on nicer weather days). I've stopped by here twice over the past month. On the first visit, I got here around 1:30 pm, but unfortunately the grill & kitchen closed early. I was able to purchase some baked goods on the counter including a cinnamon roll and a strawberry cheese danish. I was also given an extra cheese danish at no extra charge. On the second visit, I arrived here around 9:15 am and ordered breakfast takeout. I ordered a BYO French Omelette ($12 plus tax) with baked tofu and Swiss cheese, with tater tots and Portuguese muffin. My ordered was ready to in about 10 minutes. I grabbed packets of ketchup and hot sauce on the way out. I already picked up my coffee nearby before stopping here. The omelette was a fluffy folded egg filled with tofu and melted Swiss cheese. The golden tater tots were hot and crisp. The sweet Portuguese muffin was toasted and buttered. Overall, this breakfast was fairly filling to eat and I was all set for the day ahead of driving over Hogback to NY.

I'll start off by saying that the staff was very nice. I told them it was our first time there and she sat us down, told us to look over the menu and then order at the counter when we were ready. We ended up sharing the breakfast monster crepe and also the eat your greens salad. I can honestly tell you that the eat your greens salad was one of the best salads I've had. its so simple but so delicious and packed full of flavor. The lettuce leaves were extremely fresh, and the dressing was homemade. The crepe was also good, not the best I've had but it was good. Honestly the winer for me was that salad. We also ordered some hot drinks and I was surprised to find that they have organic coffee, really good. and their honey is legit, not the fake stuff. I know some of the other reviews were complaining about the pricing on things but its obviously better quality as well. You can taste it for sure. I will say that the one thing I didn't like was the fact that the tables/chairs are so close together. We were sandwiched in between two families with children and it was really hard to relax. We had to listen to one family complain about not having gotten their crepe yet even though everyone else had gotten their food. I felt that if I even inched either to my right or left I would hit the person sitting on the other end. They need to configure the seating better. Otherwise, it's a great place, I'd definitely come back and maybe sit at a counter or a booth if I'm lucky.
