29 Best Cafes near Bennington

“Honestly, I’ve only ever had one experience that was just “okay,” and that was completely on me—I got sidetracked and forgot to place my order online, so I had to order at the window instead. Every other visit has been absolutely wonderful. No matter if I order online or in person, Jaxon (Jackson) always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m taken care of. His attention to detail, positive attitude, and genuine care for customers really stand out. He’s friendly, professional, and always makes sure everything is right before I leave. You can tell he truly takes pride in what he does, and that kind of service is rare these days. I’m genuinely thankful he works there—he’s the reason I keep coming back!“

“Stumbled across a post of theirs a few weeks back highlighting their pumpkin affogato. Have been back multiple times and has been fantastic every time. The iced coffees have all been great, the kids love the custard and the affogato is incredibly delicious. Just this week the wife and I shared the pumpkin pie sundae and it is what my dreams are made of. This has definitely become a weekly stop.“

“Family friendly, great service and yummy homemade comfort food. Love the atmosphere.“

“Out of town coach here! I stopped by Olde Towne Nutrition while traveling today! Such a cute little shop! The gal that was working today was super sweet! 10/10 recommend this shop!“

“Breakfast was outstanding, in particular, the biscuits n gravy!“

“Best kept secret grill inside the Visitor Center in Boys Town. The friendly staff will make your order exactly how you want it. Plus there are weekly and daily specials. The freshly cooked food is awesome at prices that compare to a drive thru. They have fountain drinks and a small cooler with others. The hours are breakfast and lunchtime only. And orders can be made to go, but there was plenty of seating available.“

“We had ACA cater our wedding.They did a custom menu of a ramen bar. It was a huge hit and absolutely delicious. We absolutely recommend ACA for catering..The staff worked with us to make the menu and worked with our venue to have all the details perfect. Our wedding was so wonderful with all the custom details.“

“Awesome food. Breakfast was great!“

“Hidden gem! It’s got that small town feel with extremely friendly customer service. The food was excellent at a good price. We will definitely be returning.“

“I’ve always loved this place, and now that it’s open more regularly, I love it even more. The Caesar dressing is fantastic and I feel the prices are fair considering the quality I’ve always received. Tonight, there was a gal with blonde hair and butterfly tattoos, she made me the best wrap I’ve ever had and I’ve been a regular for years. I recommend this place to everyone. I wish they would open a drive through location!“

“Very friendly staff, pancakes were amazing and the freshly baked biscuits were over the top!!!!“

“I love first watch! They have so many options for my GF diet and everything is so healthy, delicious, and fresh! Rest assured, they also have the indulgent options for those with a sweet tooth and kids (choc chip pancakes!). My only regret is that I haven’t tried one of their fresh juiced concoctions during one of my visits. Definitely going to make that a priority next time. 😊“

“I went in last week with my 2 year old son. We had had a crazy morning and he was still hungry and asking for something to eat. The kind gals working just gave him some donut holes for free while I was ordering my drink. They were super friendly and nice!“

“Really cool little place. It was my first time going and it’s very inviting and takes you out of the city in a sense. Definitely going again and loved the charcuterie board!“

“I like First Watch bc I can enjoy many things and still stay on track with my eating plan. I would’ve appreciated the option of whole wheat English muffins, but that issue is the same across the entire chain. The server was very solicitous of my daughter’s specific requests for my grandkids’ menu choices (extra plate to share one adult meal, subbing fruit for their potatoes, extra straws and napkins, etc.).“

“My fave breakfast spot. They do eggs right, and their link sausages are perfecto. Easy parking, ugly building, nice people. What else could you want for breakfast“

“Great Fall Special with million dollar bacon, sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes, mushrooms, eggs, kale, cheese, and Mike’s hot honey drizzled over top!“

“Great place always excellent. eaten here a dozen times, always pleased.“

“Like an Oak planted in streams of Coffee and never gets tired!!“

“Food's always great (get the bacon turkey bravo and the broccoli chedd soup), and I also appreciate that they have tables with outlets available for use. We lost our power in the recent storm and I was able to work from this location for a while. Much appreciated. (Note that if you're going to do this, be a paying customer! Don't be a mooch.)“

“Love this place! Some days I literally wake up thinking about a certain item (I have a few regulars I love) and find myself driving that direction…it’s that good! The only place in town I can always trust for a 100% clean, healthy menu!“

“Everything here was good, but not great. Food I felt could be better. The service was a bit slow, but I do understand it was busy when we went. I did really enjoy the hash browns sausage. The place was pretty loud so it was hard to hear when talking to the person you’re with. I would rate a 3 1/2, but I cannot. Other than that, food was good and they had many options for food.“

“All the staff here are amazing!! I will drive to this location even if there are ones closer to my house. Seriously great service!!“

“Bread bowls are delicious 🤤“

“I've never had a better breakfast burrito! Amazing!! Our server Chrissi couldn't have been any better. Her courteous, attentive and kind demeanor made a fantastic breakfast into an exceptional one. KUDOS!! Will always visit when back in town.“

“I placed an order for birthday donuts for my son. I spoke with Lindsey who was extremely friendly and helpful. When I picked the donuts up the night before my son’s birthday (at a different Hurts donut location) they were not what I expected. I called Lindsey as I thought maybe there was confusion with the order. She went above and beyond and not only replaced the donuts but had them brought directly to us (and we aren’t located close to the store). When I opened the new box of donuts I cried because I was so overwhelmed with her and her staff doing everything they could to make the situation right and to ensure my kiddo woke up to some amazing personalized donuts.“

“30 minutes in, waiting for a half BLT to go order, I watched one of the food prep guys place his entire bare hand on top of some fries to check how hot they were. I didn't even finish waiting on the BLT. very slow and from what I could see, there is nothing special going on here. Just a glorified Subway.“

“The lady that was calling orders out was very friendly and helpful. Her name tag said Ana team lead. She was amazing and I didn’t specify on the side I wanted they gave me a baguette, and I simply asked Ana if she could switch it out for a bag of chips instead.
Most of the stuff is friendly“

“I just would like to say the Panera bread near 180th St. In Elkhorn is amazing. I’ve been to other locations, but this location was a well run restaurant, The employees were top-notch friendly from the beginning to the end . The quality of the service and the food was 110%! Great job ,other restaurants learn a lot from the way this place is being run. Great job.!“
