Our second time here- easy on/off. Not your run-of the -mill menu. Last time we were here had breakfast bowl- excellent with excellent coffee. Today was lunch. Pork Banh Mi on house made roll, with housemade pickled veggies. Also had the lemon dill tuna melt with tomatoes and onions. To drink the housemade pomegranate lemonade, and brewed in house iced tea.
It was quite busy, seems to be very popular with the locals- always a good sign.
Our only disappointment was that because we were there late in the day we did not get to try any of their sweet baked goods- they were sold out. Gives us a good excuse to stop again next time we are going thru Brattleboro!

Returned once more, I did. The Thai Peanut Chicken Wrap, strong with flavor it remains. Packed generously with tender chicken, it is—no skimping from this kitchen. The sweet peanut Thai sauce brings balance to the bite, a gentle heat lingering just enough to remind you it’s there. Harmony of sweet and spice, achieved it has.

Fresh, satisfying, and crafted with care. Monday through Thursday, 7 AM to 3 PM, open they are. Expanded hours, I wish for—this would be a dinner regular or weekend ritual without question. Plan wisely, you must… for worth the journey, this wrap truly is.

Gretchen catered our wedding in New Hampshire, and we can't recommend her enough as a caterer. Our wedding was pescatarian and needed to have many vegetarian and vegan options, and Gretchen did an incredible job despite this extra challenge. Our guests repeatedly told us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had, even guests that usually eat meat.

We were recommended to use The Porch for our wedding catering. We could have not been more happy to have worked with Gretchen and all of her staff over at The Porch. Everything from the menu planning, to the tasting, to the day of our wedding was so amazing. She made sure everything was exactly as we wanted and the food was incredible. Our guests were blown away by how good all of the food was, especially the steak. We would recommend using Gretchen and The Porch for any wedding or any other event. The main restaurant is also amazing and highly recommended.

Deciding on a caterer was one of the hardest parts of the wedding planning process. There were so many different options at various price points. We ended up going with Porch Too. This was due to many factors. I mean, come on, the food is amazing! Anyone that has eaten at The Porch in Brattleboro knows this! But the most important factor for us was flexibility in creating and accommodating various allergy and dietary needs of our guests. Both my now spouse and I have at different points in time have been guests at events and there is nothing for us to eat besides maybe a salad or a roll depending on dietary restrictions. It was very important to us that all of guests had at least one delicious option (carnivore, vegan, gluten free, corn free, etc). Gretchen was immediately open to creating a menu that did just that. She also did so based on available food at the time of year. We did a tasting with Gretchen early on in the process. She was great to chat with and made us some of the best food that we couldn't wait to share with guests. She was also extremely accommodating and quick to answer our many questions!

Day of, Gretchen showed up with the CUTEST Halloween themed chalkboard signs for the food. It was the best surprise we could've asked for! Each sign listed an available meal and had a Halloween themed cartoon drawn beside it. Gretchen also brought up appetizers to my very hungry wedding party after we had taken photos. It was such a lovely surprise and everyone was so, so grateful! The dinner was amazing and my family enjoyed leftovers for several days afterwards. We cannot thank you Gretchen and her team enough for making an amazing, versatile dinner! Ten stars for this amazing local gem!

Having tried much of the menu and had catering a few times from The Porch, I can honestly say the food is top notch and well above average fare in Brattleboro.

Excellent variety, everything is good and made with fresh ingredients. Staff is kind, service is great. One place I consistently come back to.

Best place in Bratt, Price wise quality and efficiency. This is my go to spot when I’m in the area. Their outside seating is sweet they hook it up and don’t skimp on eggs and overcharge like every other spot in the area. The only thing i would change is the flexibility in the menu. Like being able to create your own omelette and come pick it up instead of making changes to stuff on their menu it would streamline the process. The people are kind and the vibes are sweet
