Excellent coffee and lovely pecan pie. We stopped off whilst traveling around on our last day of our holiday. The staff were really lovely and there was a good choice of cakes, sandwiches and other various things to eat. A must stop for anyone who enjoys a nice place to chill and have great coffee and food.

Good place in Bennington, VT, to stop for a cup of coffee and a snack with a smalltown feeling to it. We did not stay long but came out happy to continue with the touring.

Really nice place to sit and read a while. There are comfortable chairs, as well as tables for doing serious work. Nice selection of pastries.We love to stop here whenever we come through Bennington.Be sure to admire the ceiling. The tin ceiling tiles are really neat! Its like stepping back in time.

Loved this cafe! Excellent non-hipster coffee in a laid back atmosphere. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my hangout.

Great local meeting place with hot and cold beverages, sandwiches, baked goods, and daily soup and quiche. Check outside live performances and spend a few hours catching up with friends.

I really enjoy this place. Excellent coffee, sandwiches and pastries. Live music is great. You get to see some odd locals. It’s pretty small and cramped at times but that is part of the fun.

The cheese on my sandwich was so incredibly delicious -- creamy and sharp all at the same time. The sourdough was perfect. Great fresh-brewed iced tea. Awesome employees, great historical building. I loved my visit!

Amazing staff and atmosphere and every drink is made to perfection. Their coffee cake is to die for. The only downside is that it can be really expensive. Some would say the price is worth the flavor though!

Everyone is so nice and personable. They have learned my order and are so friendly every time I come in. The coffee is great and the cinnamon rolls are my favorite!

Stopped by while I was trying to kill time before an interview. The coffee was amazing, the customer service fantastic, and the options for treats were perfect. They have vegan treats and treats that are gluten free, along with normal treats. Everything was great and I cant wait to go back.

Cute place...cozy but they need to turn up the heat a little...got a sandwich bowl of soup and a coffee for $18...(which I found a little pricy)..the 3 bean chili was far too spicy for general public but very tasty...so increase heat in cafe and decrease price and heat in chili and its all good!

I was ecstatic to find this little gem! They are very well-versed in the art of coffee and tea, offering copious amounts of choices in styles, add-ons, etc. The Matcha latte I ordered was absolutely decadent and fairly priced! I didnt dare hope to find such a lovely, well-run cafe, with such a vast selection. I cant wait to get back to try out the rest of their menu!

Ive been waiting for a while to try this place, my opportunity came today. I was not disappointed, got a French vanilla cappuccino which was an actual cappuccino instead of the fake stuff you find anywhere, along with a little breakfast treat. Had outdoor seating which was a big plus, and live music which was very welcoming. I hope to return again soon to try any of their many choices.

THE chill spot if in downtown Bennington. Seriously though, this place is nice but its also THE ONLY coffeehouse like it in downtown. Still worth a look.

Review №23

Great cafe with bagels, sandwiches, etc. Service can be a bit slow because they make everything for you and theres only a few staff. Single bathroom, so stagger your party going in.EV Drivers: Couple of minutes walk from the DC Fast Charger and a perfect place to have a meal while waiting for your charge. The charger did stop at 80% and had to be restarted to keep going, so its perfect to be a few moments away to restart if needed.

Extremely pleasant place. Regular chairs and comfy armchairs. Coffees, teas, and hot chocolates of various flavors. Sandwiches, soups, quiche, baked goods. Cozy, well-lit atmosphere. WiFi. A good place to dink some coffee and do some work. It’s usually quiet, but they also have some events like live music performances and chess hangouts. A very pleasant community space.

Its a decent place with good tea. The bagels are not the best and the cream cheese is lack luster but possible to fill up. Worst part is a bland coffee. Best part is the easy going environment.

After letting another customer go in front of me and waiting in line, I was denied service, because out was after 5:30p. As unfortunate trip out of my way to visit without supporting.Next time put it on a sign. Or your website. Or Facebook. Or before I wait in line.
