6 Best Cafes near Middlebury

“Thank you so much to Caroline! She made my daughter a beautiful vegan birthday cake!!! ❤️🥳“

“My friend and I visited yesterday 09/30/2025 for her birthday lunch as she is "Vegan and gluten free" and this looked perfect. It was perfect!!!!! The whole experience was a 10 out of 10. Excellent delicious and healthy organic soup for lunch with a peanut noodle salad, and of course a slice of banana, chocolate, nut bread. The gentleman who took our order delivered our food to our table with a smile. We talked about our lunch experience the rest of the day. Can't wait to go back. Thank you so much, Dena & Erika“

“Went to the opening day of Beetlejuice and decided to go here instead of NY to avoid the huge crowd. One of the BEST decisions ever and this theatre is one of the best places. The theatre has regular movie theater seats but in the front cozy couches. You can buy dinner in the cafe (Mexican) and bring it into the movie to eat and/or buy concessions instead. The staff is insanely nice and helpful. This place is 100% hidden gem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was craving a donut and they had a wonderful selection! The bagels look amazing and I intend to come back tomorrow to try one! A great selection of coffees as well.“

“We were there over the holiday, it was busy and smells were amazing. The croissants were so flakey and filled with ham and cheese. The apple pastry was by far my favorite. The staff were super nice.🍎🍏“

“I recently visited Minifactory in downtown Bristol and had the Animal Kingdom - crispy prosciutto, perfectly poached egg, sweet potato and cheddar on their house-made meusli bear bread with green sauce - and it was absolutely stellar. Every component was expertly prepared, and you could taste the quality and care in every bite, especially in that grain-free meusli bread made with sesame, almond, dried fruit and honey. What really sets Minifactory apart is their commitment to vegetable-forward cuisine using local ingredients, and it's clear they've built strong relationships with area farmers and producers. Beyond the exceptional food, this place is a true community hub - coffee shop, cafe, jam manufactory, and local grocery all in one - with generous hours throughout the week and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere. Whether you're a Bristol resident or passing through, Minifactory is an absolute must-visit that reminds you why supporting local businesses matters - five stars without hesitation!“
