24 Best Cafes near Middlebury

“The food is really good. I had a bagel with cream cheese and coffee with hash brown. Customer service seems rushed and bothered.

Let me update this; 8/26 I haven't gone back to this place cause although the food was decent the customer service is not that good. A friend recently wanted to go. I figured new location maybe things are different. Nope! The young women taking the orders was polite and friendly. The same lady as before does not have a very welcoming disposition. My order was held up. When she asked the person in the back cooking about the order she said she didn't have it. My friend who also ordered for her food and it was getting cold I told her to just eat as those two argued. Eventually she went to the back to get the stuff to finish my bagel. I asked for it to be toasted it was not. The potatoes were nice and crunchy but only a few had seasoning on them the rest tasted like vinegar. I got a bagel with plain cream cheese and 2 pieces of bacon it, small coffee and those home fries it was 18. And some change. Which wouldn't have been bad if it was worth it. It clearly was not! I will not be going back again.“

“Great space for meetings or just to grab a bite. Nice assortment of coffees and teas and everything is delicious“

“Matt hosted My Place Preschool for a field trip. He gave 3 and 4 year olds a tour of the shop and treated us to delicious cookies! 🍪 It was a blast. This bakery offers amazing treats but the owners are local and so wonderful. I was so glad they were able to host us!“

“BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I'VE EVER HAD. I love how many options they give you with each ingredient. The steak and egg with southwest sauce on an everything bagel was incredible. Sauce has a good kick, I'd say around jalapeno level of heat FYI. Ignore the review below. Yeah it takes a little longer than Dunkin cuz the food is freshly made to order, duhh.“

“Good pastries and friendly people“

“Brazilian Centro Bakery offers a very nice selection of traditional sweet and savory prepared Brazilian foods. I ordered the coxinha and a cheese-filled pastry, the name of which escapes me. They were crazy delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful in explaining the choices to a non-native Brazilian. Can’t wait to return to try other dishes!“

“I enjoyed the time having a delicious breakfast! Nice relaxing atmosphere!“

“Writing this review as much for the restaurant/cafe as for sibling business next store, the commercial espresso repair business also operating under the name Cafe Italia.

I found these guys looking for a specialist to rehab a commercial Nuova Simonelli single-head machine we use in our retail showroom. And I came to the right place!

Incredible workshop and know-how. These guys have full lathe and CNC capabilities to make their own parts as needed.They've also got a direct lines to Italy to order parts direct and I wouldn't bring my machine to any other place for service.

Good honest old world excellence -- highly recommend the repair and service aspect!

But I also got to experience the restaurant/cafe when picking up my machine after it was serviced. Feels like walking through a portal directly to Southern Italy. This place had incredible coffee and more authentic atmosphere than most other cafes this side of the Atlantic.

Stand at the counter and order an espresso -- worth it!

Stand-up family business. They're super busy so we were lucky they were able to take our repair. They even came back for a housecall after we experienced a later issue with the machine that was totally unrelated to their work -- small bit of sediment from the city waterline clogged a valve. These guys came in like a NASCAR pit crew and tore the machine down, diagnosed and fixed the issue, and left w/out accepting a dime.

Recommend their repair service 10/10.

And the cafe might be an 11.“

“Great lunch spot, had the brass city panini and that pesto is still calling my name, everything tastes fresh and well put together which we know is an art. Plenty of pastries and cakes. Great breakfast special for 5 dollars. And the bagels are from the works famous Ami’s“

“I am in from South Carolina and my friends brought me to John’s Cafe. Everything from start to finish was amazing! Signature cocktails, (They had a Pumpkin Russian cocktail that was amazing) appetizers, entrees , and desserts were all great! It is hard to be on point every course, however this restaurant delivered!! Would recommend!!“

“I've been to a lot of bars in my life and this is my absolute favorite place to go. Everyone that works there is an absolute riot and I would go there just to hang out with them if for whatever reason they ran out of alcohol. I highly recommend Carmine's :-)“

The seating includes outlets at every table (sincere THANK YOU from us students), and the staff is the FRIENDLIEST staff you will ever meet. If you want to support the community and a fellow taino, eat/drink here!“

“jimmys food is excellent! however I was there for the 1st time last week, our waitress was not friendly with us. no personality, no smile..brought our food put it down walked away, said nothing. then 5 mins later, as she was walking by the table threw the receipt down, said nothing. Never came to see if we needed anything else or how the food was, she never offered desert, so we didn't get that. I had to go to the counter and ask for a box, as again she never came back to the table. there were only a few tables full, so she wasn't overly busy, meanwhile I'm watching the other waitress there, smile and laugh with her customers. I wish I knew her name, because she definitely needs to learn people skills. ohh I also heard her complaining to a customer who she must've known, about her training someone and now the other girl is waiting tables and she was not happy that this girl was doing her job basically 🙄“
