Very good. Definitely a more trendy spot with single sized portions. French toast was super good. Outside seating available.

I took a trip to Vermont this weekend and was highly recommended to try this place. Upon asrigeibg, there was a hostess outside who greeted me and said that a wait for a table for 1 would be 20ish minutes or I could sit at the bar which was first come first serve. Lucky for me there was one seat open so I took it. I then sat at the bar waiting to be acknowledged.. for ten minutes. There was one person tending the register for those ordering done-in/to go. There was another person making drinks and taking orders for bar patrons. There was only two other people sitting at the bar at this point besides myself
. Finally, a young woman was bussing the bar and I asked her - after noticing others holding menus in the order line - if I was supposed to grab a menu from somewhere or if it should’ve been given to me. She promptly went to the host stand and grabbed me a a menu. Bout another 10 minutes and the person tending to the bar came over and asked if I was ready to order. They were kind but seemed disinterested in being there. I placed by drink and food order. I had also asked for a water - which I didn’t know was self serve until I watched other restaurant customers go over to the red cooler. My food did come out pretty quickly but it was not the greatest. It wasn’t bad just felt overhyped .it also didn’t help my experience to hear the person tending to the register get annoyed about covering someone else’s break nor the person tending to bar patrons complain about wanting to go home. I get we all have that general “work chat” but it shouldn’t happen in front of customers. It also was a bit weird to be asked to pay before k received my food and then directly asked how much I wanted to tip when I hadn’t received anything at that time. Nonetheless, it was an experience. This is just my humble opinion and urge everyone who wants to try this place to check out for themselves! Hopefully it’ll be better for you than I.

They need to figure out a better ordering system.

Shockingly bad - that's the only way I can describe the service that we received.

It started very understandable; a thirty minute wait, for a beloved local joint is expected on a Sunday morning. After getting a seat, it was a little confusing to be told that we ordered at a counter. Still, I can accept that I don't know all the reasoning behind service decisions of a local business. Five minutes in a line stinks, but I was taught patience as a child. But to then be subjected to a thirty to forty minute wait for our orders to be brought out, as the rest of our party had their (more complex) orders delivered before us was galling.

That can't help but color my perception of the rest of the experience. Was my crepe and ice cream really good? Sure! Was the atmosphere laid-back and music selection enjoyable? Definitely! But no amount of blueberries is worth that wait, and as much as I love Chris Stapleton's Joy of My Life, it is deeply grating when I'm clutched in Hanger.

I also don't want to necessarily blame the staff, either, who greeted us with attentive smiles and warmth. These problems seem structural to me. Hate to say it, but I don't think I can recommend Skinny Pancake to friends heading up this way - at least not on a Sunday.

Maybe one day if I'm ever back this way I'll take another chance. I just hope some of these issues are addressed eventually, because this was one heck of a frustrating dining experience.

Waited 30 minutes for a table then had to wait an additional 30 minutes in line to order our own food. Crepes are great but service is nonexistent.

Shoe leather sausage, one scrambled egg and a couple of crepes..
Crepes were fine. Service was counter service so like a cafeteria, not much there. Overpriced for what was delivered. They can be better by stepping up the service and having the menu descriptions really match what is served.

Always a fantastic breakfast!

Crepes were undercooked and too thick! I didn’t eat mine it was half raw! Not a skinny pancake either - very thick!
Asked the waiter for water - seemed like a big ask!! We have been coming here for 8 years - place needs a serious revamp - decor is renown and food! Sad
