We heard the food was amazing… the atmosphere was sweet and bustling, the menu- mouth-watering. The woman who sat us was lovely but everything beyond that was a total debacle. When we sat down we were not told we had to order at the counter, the line for take out was super long so after waiting for 10 minutes in that line, only then we realized on our own that there was another register for dine in. We got out of that line only to find out that register was cash only (and always was! No sign indicating it!) So we had to get back in the end of the long take out line (with three hungry kids waiting!) In the midst of ordering we were told there were no substitutions (couldn’t replace bacon for ham and only option was to order another $13 meal that might come with a side of bacon to get the $3 side of bacon- what?!?) So I ask to talk to the manager and while waiting for the surly faced manager (owner/chef?) to appear we were informed it would be a 50 minute wait for food!! When the woman in charge came out her energy and demeanor was sour and unapologetic. Highly recommend the sweet diner (Snap’s) down the street for a delish egg sandwich without the side of pretension. Ughhh! shared our story with locals who don’t even go in their for their lattes anymore because of the unwelcoming and inflexible vibes.

This place serves some of the best food I've ever had, with exceptional varieties in flavors, and no matter what you order, it looks and tastes like absolute perfection!!

Slowest barista I have ever seen. Literally took 30 minutes to make 10 drinks. People were checking in and they did not care at all about the pace. Seven other staffers and no one was helping make the drinks.

The food here is superb. The coffee is very good too. I'll be back. Long wait time for the food (for a good reason), so not a grab and go kind of place.

A new high bar set for my cycling adventures. Always searching out the best breakfast/ coffee/ bake goods in an area while cycling, this place hit a home run. Super nice people, a good vibe, and a great menu that delivers. I’ve cycled many parts of the country, and the Minifactory is now at the top of my list.

A very relaxed spot with beautiful bright decor. The food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten in Vt ( and I’ve lived here for forty years). Even their egg salad on milk bread blew my mind. It took a while to get my food, but it was well worth the wait.
Great coffee! But this place is unfriendly for POC! One of the coffee server was giving a side eye and have me on one isolated table different from the rest-no cutlery compared to the rest.

A few years ago they used to serve traditional breakfast and lunch fare made with exceptionally good local ingredients. Now their menu has changed. Still very good ingredients, but we miss the great comfort food they used to serve before.
Dietary restrictions: They do care for gluten intolerant customers.

I love the mini factory! A sunny warm place to enjoy masterfully crafted and plated dishes. Food on par with that found at fancy restaurants at a fraction of the price and toddler friendly! Xxxxx
