Restaurants near Essex

“I’ve heard a lot of chatter about how this local cafe has been doing great for the community! I stopped in to grab a nice cup of coffee and leave a few business cards for the locals. Essex Ice Cream Cafe not only has amazing food and coffee but also phenomenal service! The owner Todd was very friendly and professional to speak with. I’m glad I stopped in to meet another local business owner, looking forward to shopping there more often!”

“Food was really good and portions were very generous. Ashmite was our server and she was so nice and gave us great recommendations. Not a local but if I happen to be there again definitely coming back”

“First Yelp review I've written, and it is the easiest five stars I could ever give. I got a turkey BLT with a side of onion rings, and it was HUGE, delicious, and the Korean BBQ sauce I got with it was IMMACULATE. Second, all the workers were SO nice, they got it done fast, and chatted with me throughout the process. A very welcoming, cozy environment where you feel right at home, but here's the kicker: I'm not sure what the name of the program is, something close to suppers for neighbors or along those lines, but they offer the ability to donate to a fund, which allows for people to come in and order food if they are in need and cannot pay, and the fund pays for it. Absolutely marvelous, 100/10, will absolutely be returning and you should definitely try it out”

“One of my favorite places in Shelburne. The Kitchen Sink, Chicken & Waffles and Chorizo Breakfast are top tier. It's a great place to go after the Patriots get shutout and drop to 2-10. Super tasty!”

“I go to Vergennes Laundry whenever I can! Entering feels like a warm hug, with the aroma of baked goods in the air. The staff is friendly and well trained. The food is delectable, as is the coffee. Cardamom buns, sour dough croissants, anything from the pastry case! And the Turkish eggs are incredible. You’llalways find a cool treat on the shelves, whether it’s chocolate or a mustard. Make sure to stop by or make a trip. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Highly recommend Black Sheep Bistro. Super cozy, wonderful staff, and delicious food. The Thai broiled haddock is to die for. We love the duck as well. The salads are excellent starters. We haven't tried dessert yet, because the food is so delicious and filling. Thank you and we will be back soon !”

“Amazing place !!!!So friendly and happy staffLunch was great and the ice cream was deliciousIf you’re coming thru the area… you must stop in ❤️❤️❤️”

“Stopped in to order lunch to-go. They instructed me it would be 25min+. I agreed and waited. They were visibly busy and churning out meals left and right to the patrons at tables. My order took about 35 minutes which I was totally fine with. The gentlemen who helped me felt bad, thanked me again and threw in two extra homemade cookies. Not expected at all and a very nice gesture. Now for the food.....It was amazing! I had the fried chicken sandwich and bought a few baked goods for my family at home. Prices were very reasonable and food 10/10. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!”

“One of the best omelets and crispy potatoes I've ever had in my life. Fantastic poppers filled with a garlicky butter and very good pumpkin waffles. You can tell that a lot of love, care and technique goes into making the food. Amazing service, delicious food, very bad coffee (which surprised me as they had a really nice coffee machine and since everything else was top notch but it was not good), but a super cozy vibe that I'd look forward to returning to time and time again!”

“Delicious ? cookies ? We stopped in and grabbed the 3 for $5 cookies deal. We got 3 different options, and they were all amazing!!! We will stop again and try some different cookies next time. Puppy love, chocolate chip, and snikerdoodle were our choices this time. They were all warm,fresh, soft,and delicious ?”

“My first time here. Tool my parents for lunch. The sandwiches were delicious as was the salad! Both the guy at the register and the girl making the sandwiches were so sweet and kind. The guy even brought them to our truck!! Thank you so much!! We will definitely be back!!!”

“Amazing little find on our family road trip. Delicious coffee and croissants. Amazingly friendly staff. It's on our list for any time we're in the area again!”

“Good food. Service was good but I think they need more staff. They were out of several items on the menu but what I ordered was great. Pretty good prices.Small and cozy. I'll go again I'm ”

“Small place with high quality, interesting meals which also serves dine in and take out pizza. Service is welcoming and efficient. Prices are reasonable. Nice wine list. Spring menu included scallops with spinach prosciutto risotto - which was very good. Reliably good food.Parking: Restaurant is located in a commercial area with plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Small play area at back of dining roomWheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is at street level, sidewalks are wheelchair friendly”

“I absolutely love this store. The owners are super nice. The deli is very good. The pizza and everything else is always fresh and wicked good. If the store doesn’t have something you need or want on a regular basis they will order it and start stocking it just for you. It’s nice to be able to step into a store that has that small town feel, with really nice employees. There aren’t many stores that are like this now days. I recommend if you’re in the area and you are looking for something good to eat and you want something fresh, this is the place to go. They are super friendly and very reasonably priced!”

“We have been wanting to visit The Starry Night Cafe for years! Driving down Rt 7 it always looked so cozy. We were right, it is super cozy and the food and service were amazing! We ate in a beautiful room with a real wood fireplace, our server was delightful and attentive and made us feel like cherished guests! The food was delicious from the warm grilled bread to start all the way until the sweet maple meringues to end the meal! We highly recommend!”

“Food was very delicious and great portions. We had the butter chicken and lamb biryani. I wish the lamb was a little more tender but still was good. Can’t wait to try something else!”

“I came to Vergennes from New Jersey for the eclipse and we stopped at Olsen’s ice cream while we waited for totality. They are easily one of my top 3 favorite ice cream shops. The maple creemee was absolute perfection, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my boyfriend’s tree nut allergy. We watched them sanitize the soft serve machine and even open a new package of sprinkles just for us to prevent any cross contamination. I would make the 6 hour drive from Jersey again just to come here!”

“My wife and I went for lunch, a first time visit, and after we were finished we congratulated ourselves on our choice ! Brian, the owner greeted us warmly, set us up at a nice table and gave us a menu that had thin crust PIZZAS, salads, quesadillas, pasta, mashed potato bowls, mac and cheese bowls and finally hot subs....so many choices that it took several minutes to take it all in. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and my wife the Meatball Parm hot subs both of which were served hot to the touch and very tasty. I was happy to have draft beer while my wife had bottled arizona ice tea from the fridge. TIP: While the locals many of whom were there with us know where Old Orchard Pizza is, visitors may not find it so easily.... SO just look for it behind the Willsboro Pharmacy ....take the driveway next to the pharmacy and head for the apple orchard.”

“I didn't actually have food here, but I called them, and they were so nice and sweet, and even when I ask them questions that weren't specifically related to their restaurant or their food, they didn't hang up and they didn't question me. And then after I was finished, they asked me if I had anything else to say. I would rate this a 10 out of 10 experience. I've never called an establishment with nicer staff before.”

“I have been going here every summer for my whole life and have always looked forward to their ice cream. Prices are the most reasonable I've ever seen and quality is great. The food is typical fast food so nothing great or groundbreaking, I don't go there for the food, but the ice cream is perfect. Service is always super fast and everyone who works there is so nice. It's been the same employees for such a long time which is always nice to see. The place itself is a cute small town vibe. Nothing fancy, and there's no need for that. If you need a good ice cream place in the Willsboro, Essex area, this is the best!”

“This place is a hidden gem. The food was absolutely terrific and way exceeded expectations. The server and cook were super friendly. This place has everything I want in a diner. My 8 year old son said his breakfast was, "better than amazing." I agree.We will be back! Just terrific.”

“Wow. What a cool story, history, and the bread omg. Beautiful buildings. Hard to find the actual bakery but just keep driving the 1,600 acres and ask around. It’s worth it. Highly recommend watching the videos on this profile to get an idea. This is ARTISAN bread. Impressive for a dinner party for sure.”

“This has to be one of the best ice cream shops I’ve ever been to.The flavor I got was “almond Joy” and It was an almond milk based I team.This flavor is great, and it’s not too hard or flakey on consistency. The Scoop nails it just in the middle where it’s thicker and sticks to your spoon but doesn’t wedge up like a soulless hunk of ice like a lot of non dairy does.The flavor I got had a nice ratio of chunks of ingredients to base component.Glad to see another ice cream option out there and can’t wait to try more.”

“This place is really good. They have an excellent selection of craft beers that are actually very nice. Standard wine and cocktails. The prices are what stood out here... very affordable. I had the fried pickles with ranch. It was home made ranch. I also had chicken and mushroom ravioli. It was excellent. Pasta was al dente... and the shitake mushroom and thyme cream sauce was fabulous.”

“Loved it here! Stopped in, met Debra (founder and co-owner) and learned that it's a female owned business and they make their shortbread cookies at that location! We bought a few bags and enjoyed them the rest of the week while on vacation!They offer shipping on their website so it has now been added to our list of businesses to support for sending gifts to friends and family!”

“The King of delicious IPAs. Been drinking their flagship Fiddlehead IPA for years. Finally made it to their brewery south of Burlington. They have a small selection (6 drafts) but everything, including their very unique Porter was great. We took home a 4 pack of Mastermind & a special release. The young lady helping us was sooooo knowledgeable & sweet.”

“Stopped in on our way home after the breakfast rush and they made us delicious breakfast sandwiches! Broke down and also got some croissants and sooo crisp and fresh. Really worth the trip ?.”

“Had a great dinner experience at this chill, back-of-town place. Great vibe/atmosphere. Food was very good - brussel sprouts, crispy fish and chips, maple bread pudding for dessert. All really good. Low-ish alcohol (5.0%) IPA from attached Hired Hand brewing was very good. Recommend this place. Looking forward to going back.”
