“Fantastic baked goods. Woodland Swirl is an amazing blend of morning bun and cinnamon roll. Breakfast sandwiches are spectacular. And my favorite cold brew in town.“

“There was a great selection of fresh baked goods as well as breakfast and lunch options. I chose an apricot currant scone for my cappucinno. Yummy. Stowe bee bakery is a short distance from the rec trail, but plenty of parking if in an auto. Friendly service. Cozy indoor seating space as well as a few outdoor tables.The barista skipped the coffee art on my cappucinno, but it was otherwise well made.“

“We come from Connecticut, I did stop by here for coffee some donuts etc, the girl at the register was very rude and did not ask if I wanted hot or cold coffee, so yes she did make.mistake and had to re make our coffees to hot. I was charged for ice coffees and was never even offered my change back, I had to tell her my self to not worry about it. Total was 3 employees and neither one had smile ore happy face.“

“Great place! Away from the bustle of everything else.“

“Great sandwiches pastries and coffee !!! Friendly hard working staff !!!“

“enjoyed a cup of coffee here while my kids went ice skating. cute shop. good coffee. nice little local trinkets to look at as well. some gf baked good options. got the chocolate brownie -only gf baked good with no nuts. seems they have gf bread for sandwiches but I want looking for it. happy to support local! I was shocked and disappointed to see that a Starbucks is being set up right across from this in the center of Main Street Stowe. one of the great things about Stowe is all the local businesses. I'm surprised Starbucks was even allowed. hopefully people continue to buy from the local coffee roasters here instead“
