Cafe on the Common is always a pleasure. Clean place, friendly staff and owners, delicious food and drink- and all conveniently in Barre center. If you like music check out their open mic or live performances as noted online. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: There are lots of options for vegetarians either specific veg options such or items that can be tweaked to be veg friendly.Parking: There are free lot spots available but I’ve never had to look past free street parking right out front.

Loved this place for brunch, loved they served coffee in a fresh french press at the table. Breakfast nachos to die for.... I was so upset I got full and couldn't eat anymore.Look forward to going back and try the lunch and dinner menus! ?

Adorable and cozy restaurant setting. However, we were a bit disappointed when we sat down and the waitress told us that there was no quiche, and that they only had one kind of beer. We thought that was odd but we ordered our dinner. The staff is very friendly but sadly, the only thing that wasn’t good was the food. My husband ordered the chicken pie and it came in an aluminum pan, so it really did look like something you would buy frozen from the grocery store, and my flatbread was burnt to a crisp – we’d like to give it another try though because they seemed so friendly! I would add a picture, but it doesn’t seem that I can do that on this site.

Nice little spot in Barre. The server was really nice. The chili before the meal was fantastic. I got a BBQ Chicken and Red Onions Flatbread, and it was amazing. Absolutely delicious.

Jada and Dewey are two of the best people you will ever meet. The quality of the food and cocktails reflects that inner light. It is a beautiful spot for a quiet dining experience.

We had a lovely, quiet lunch here. Our server, Brianna, was great. Absolutely incredible parfaits! I had 2! Great French press coffee. My sister had the quiche and said it was the best of her life. She also ordered a cherry coke, which they serve with cherries in it. Nice touch. My aunt had gluten-free waffles and chamomile tea. She said the waffles were delicious, and the tea was good. Nice clean bathrooms. They even provide flossers, hair ties, diapers, and organic tampons! I loved their cute sign on the bathroom door. We had a good laugh about it. Street parking was simple enough. They also have a parking lot, but I didn't see it at first, so I missed the turn.

The food is great! The menu is a limited menu, but they do have specials and offer up many gluten free options.The service is also great. They don't interrupt your dining and are unobtrusive, which I appreciate but are incredibly friendly.The owners are really lovely people! They kept a similar charm of the previous place but made it more casual. We were there for a local wine tasting which was also cool!

The owner gave my wife a hard time about bringing her service dog inside. I haven't been to this cafe, so I can't comment on anything specifically, however people who deal with the public should be familiar with the laws, especially when they apply to people with disabilities. That's all I have.Update: Thank you for responding. I'll revise my rating to accurately reflect the other reviews.
