My wife and I stopped by this cozy breakfast and lunch restaurant on our drive home from staying in Vermont. It is such a gem of a restaurant and everything we ordered was fantastic. They offer fresh squeezed orange juice and have the coolest menus. My wife and I ordered large meals and were completely satisfied with everything. This restaurant has a small town vibe, with friendly staff and friendly customers.

This is the place for breakfast and lunch. Everything is always fresh. Staff is great. I was so bummed they weren’t open on Nov 1st. I was dying for their cilantro omelette

Such an adorable Vermont breakfast spot with delicious food! Warm, Vermont home style atmosphere. Cinnamon roll French toast is next level - you have to get it! Honestly everything here looks amazing so be warned you might need 4+ trips to truly appreciate the menu.

Food was okay. We waited a while to be seated, my husband went to the bathroom and I was settling my 15 month old daughter into a high chair. Anyone who’s had a child may understand the stress of being out at a restaurant, be we were in the middle of a 4 hour drive and the kid needed to eat. The woman serving (owner’s wife?) came up to me in an positive voice as I was laying a disposable mat down on the table “oh is that a sticky one?!” I thought we were bonding, then she proceeds with “we often need to use glue gone to get that off.. just so you know….”

I could have died of embarrassment in that moment. I am a mom trying to do my best. This clearly isn’t a high class joint, I would have SO happily taken your glue gone and shined the folding table myself, but this woman felt the need to belittle a stressed out mom.

Everything was lackluster. The avocado in my omelette was brown, when we asked the same women if she’d be satisfied (20$ meal) she chuckled and said “yeah because I don’t mind brown avocados” which felt a double down on the belittling.

I wouldn’t return. Mostly because of the vibe we got off of the owners wife. Felt icky.

Great food and great service! You will have to wait if you don't go early and the wait could be significant. The menu offers plenty of breakfast choices and is actually a work of art, itself! Highly recommend! We may go back a second day of our visit to try the French toast, which looked amazing!

Expect a wait. In fact, if you’re going on a Sunday, go in and add your name on the computer, and they will text you when the table is ready. Then go to the tiny Farmers Market on the side street and check things out. If you buy food there, save it for later because you want to save room for the Hatchery. I appreciated the get your own coffee and tea station since the kitchen was so busy, the server said she had to wait to take our order. But food came out fast after that. Outstanding pancakes. However, if you’re going to charge $1.50 for an extra teeny cup of maple syrup, then you should let the customer know there is an extra fee! Side of bacon was three tiny pieces. Other tables had better and bigger pieces. Come on, throw in another piece and keep the customer happy. I was excited to try the home fries on the delicious farm-fresh eggs, but they got a little too fancy with it and added some spice that made them inedible me. Keep it simple please! Server was adroit at the upsell. A little too much for my opinion. Still it was a good price for a nice breakfast.

Great tasting and large portions. I had a buttermilk biscuit with egg and sausage and it was perfect. My wife and I also shared their grilled banana bread. It was a great way to start the day.
