“My partner and I drove a few hundred miles for a spontaneous visit to Orchard Hill. Our spirits were low and we needed to get away from the news and explore. Having watched a YouTube about the bakery, and loving bread as I do, we just decided to go for it. The beauty of the place and its vibe were just what we needed. We stocked up with 6 loaves and some yummy spreads. Tonight at home we had dinner with bread as our centerpiece. It was delicious and it tasted like hope, the flavor only human hearts, hands and minds can infuse. Thank you.”

“So pleased to have discovered this! If you like lighter roasts I would highly recommend. I ordered online and picked up 2 days later - very easy! And the beans are fantastic.”

“Where do I even start? I’ve been following this lovely business for a very long time. Today I FINALLY made it there. First step in and it was such a friendly welcoming establishment. The food…the food was amazing!! The spice was just out of this world. Lots of options to choose from as well. 10/10 RECOMMENDED!!!!!”

“The best restaurant / cafe I've been to in a long time. Bellows Falls is a stunning area. The Moon Dog reflects it's beauty and charm. The food is sublime and so is it's owner. Creative and tasty food with a twist of down home goodness.”

“Excellent Cyndy Wraps today !! Michael has trained his crew well. Everyone is working very hard and Cafe Loco was packed. It’s an icon for so many of us we appreciate all the hard work that happened over the past few weeks. Don’t stop believing.”

“Divinely cozy, nostalgic coffee shop. Staff is always friendly, and tons of local/small art + business is supported in the cafe. Lots of uniquely northern/New England flavors and menu items. If I lived here, I would definitely be here often as well as utilize it as a work from home space! Five stars.”

“Hubby & I tried The Hungry Diner for the first time on Valentine’s Day! The place was busy as we had expected, however we were greeted right away with a smile and welcome! She asked if we had been there before, gave us a run down of the menus and drink selections, how to order, be seated and served. The restaurant was so beautiful, well designed and very appropriate for the theme. We were amazed at how well everyone worked together so smoothly and happily! The milkshakes came out first and very quickly, truly so creamy!! Our food came out within 15 minutes, hot and fresh! My husband got the Hungry Mac & Cheese with Bacon, and I got the Hungry Chickenwich with Hungry Fries, neither of us were disappointed in any way! He needed a box for half of his dinner because it was so filling! He said the bacon was so fresh and thick cut, and the Mac n cheese was so creamy and rich! The chicken in the chickenwich was so juicy and cooked perfectly with crispy edges! The hungry fries are to die for, reminded me of fair fries! Highly recommend and we will be going back!! Side note, big shout out to a few employees who made our stay exceptional and/or we noticed going above and beyond: (apologies for not knowing anyone’s names) -one of the cooks wearing a beanie with pigtail braids: we watched her ensuring food went out looking perfect, if it was less than that or needed finishing touches she added it with such finesse and a smile! -the woman who greeted us (possibly an owner or manager): fantastic at her job, friendly, energetic, very welcoming and comforting (almost a motherly feeling), and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and drinks! She checked in with us a few times and asked our opinion! -the man wearing a hat (also possibly an owner or manager): my husband and I watched this man work so hard the entire time we were there! He was doing a little bit of everything, from bringing food to tables, to picking up dirty dishes, to observing the room to make sure everything was orderly! Everyone was friendly, smiling and hardworking! ☺️”
