    We were looking for a place to stop for lunch on our way from Shelburne to Middlebury and came across 3 Squares Cafe a in the quaint town of Vergennes, VT. 3 Squares Cafe is the type of hip cafe you'd expect to see in Vermont. The dining room is colorful and eclectic. The sandwiches we ordered were made with fresh, home cooked items. The service was friendly and efficient. If you are in the area stop by 3 Squares Cafe.

    Cozy interior.

    Great place for lunch or breakfast. Had a really good Tuna Melt; quite tasty and filling. Some of the best fries ever! Interior had plenty of comfortable seating. Friendly service. Will return!

    1st time here, food was exceptional, i had the breakfast burrito pictured, delicious. My wife had a breakfast bowl. We will go back and highly recommend.

    House special with chorizo and egg sandwich with excellent crispy potatoes

    While passing through the quaint town of Vergennes, VT be sure to stop at this restaurant. We had the most delicious breakfast. Friendly staff will take your order from a variety of creative breakfasts items. The atmosphere is a wonderful warm country feel. Choose a coffee mug from a shelf of down home varieties and pour yourself a cup. Be sure to stop and enjoy the food, service and atmosphere.... you won't be disappointed.

    Reuben on Sourdough bread, no Thousand Island dressing, mustard on side

    Excellent food, service and atmosphere! We came here with our 7 year old grandson for an early lunch and we all walked away very happy. The menu is varied, with both substantial meat and vegetarian options, many of which were creative and yummy. The portions were very generous without being crazy (I finished it all). The staff are so accommodating! I joked that I am like Sally in "When Harry met Sally". I made lots of modifications with my order and they were not fazed and all and happy to roll with it. The adults had: 1. Reuben sandwich without Thousand Island dressing, on sourdough bread, with undressed greens, salad dressing and mustard on the side. Absolutely delicious!! 2. Vegetarian Reuben sandwich, which sounded great and was enjoyed. 3. Tuna melt The 7 year old had: Hamburger with french fries - child's portion. He can polish off a sizeable amount of food for a kid, but the child's portion was plenty for him. They also have this cool thing that if you take a picture of your time at 3 Square cafe and post via an app they give you the link for, a meal is donated locally. What a great endeavor! We will definitely go back sometime!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Kari W.

    3 squares was definitely yummy, the man at the counter was awesome, but the prices are a little high for the portions and type of restaurant. The breakfast burrito was good but we should have requested the sour cream inside. The panino was yummy and a good portion with the breakfast potatoes, but definitely needed more bacon. The kids loved the pancakes, but $13 for 3 pancakes is slightly high. The endless coffee was an added bonus! We would definitely go back, just feel it's a little pricey.

    First, the food was really good and I love my French toast. The service was great. It felt like it came instantly. and the ambience was really nice and comfortable.

    Mushroom truffle scramble w/side of bacon.

    Ambiance: Basic downtown cafe / coffeeshop, but with great breakfast options. Water is free, coffee is available from a coffee station to the side. You order first, then pick a spot to sit and they bring the food. Service: Very good, although a portion of the work is done by you. Food: Good. The Challah French toast my spouse had is great, and of course Vermont maple syrup. Bacon was overdone for my taste; it's as if it had been sitting out in a warming area for a long while. I had the mushroom truffle scramble which was good in its own right, but the home fries were also overcooked for my taste, and also over seasoned. Home fries shouldn't be this hard. But, it's great to have a local breakfast spot as close to home as this, and I'll concede we got there a bit later in the morning; will have to see if an earlier time might improve things.

    Always good food. Large portions. Sometimes too crowded--hard to get a seat. The cappuccinos. etc are not the best.

    Its a small town...so be aware that for a regular coffee to go it will take about almost 20 minutes.

    Simplify! Menu needs to be more user friendly. Looks like a doodling project. Foods ok. Breads are hard and I like a good artisan.

    Booked Mothers' Day breakfast based on online reviews and was not disappointed…read more Ambience was nice. Great music on the speakers, for sure. Service was good, but the kitchen was a bit slow. The food was excellent. 3 of us chose steak and eggs. The steak was easily the start of the meal. So delicious I wished I ordered it. The home fries were also amazing. I had the Starry breakfast. Basically it was bacon and eggs. Over medium eggs were perfect. Bacon was good not great. My son ordered French toast and it was super sweet but delicious. The orange cream on it was especially good. Definitely recommend brunch here.

    I was treated to dinner here. This, the Starry Night Cafe', is not the sort of place I would…read morepatronize and I'm still asking myself if I really dined here. It's that a friend treated me here because I did all the driving in and around the Green Mountains of Vermont to look at the scenery. Starry Night Cafe' is about fine dining. It's also about "new" cuisine, so that means creative culinary takes on what could be ordinary dishes. Sometimes I'll buy into the concept of "new" and sometimes I won't. Either way, the food here is not meant to be just like it is at all those other restaurants! The two chosen starters were a Caesar-like salad and a cheese plate. I liked my salad, but felt the cheese plate didn't have much to it, although the cheese was of high quality and good. The entrees selected were the mafaldine pasta and the salmon. My friend thought the salmon was good, and I thought my pasta was very good. Portions were about right for fine dining and, thankfully, not abysmally small. The mafaldine's presentation looked green as if it the sauce might be pesto, but it is not. It's a spinach pasta. Also, note that these are pronounced "mah-fahl-deen-eh" and not "mah-fahl-deen." A dessert was ordered and it featured berries and cream. I tried a little bit of it and it was delicious. The bread that arrived at the beginning of the meal was excellent. The serving staff seemed excited about the vaudouvan butter. This name doesn't mean anything to me. Should it? The menu mentioned that the butter was flavored with curry. I hesitated and was told that it was a French curry. I wondered how that might be different. Still, no matter how much or how little you use of it, the aftertaste lingers for too long. I did not like this nifty butter. Starry Night Cafe' looks inconspicuous from the parking lot. Once inside, there are several nice rooms in which to eat and you initially see a tastefully appointed bar. Each of the dining spaces has a slightly different personality. There are even outdoor spaces flanked by a large pond that would have worked well if it wasn't as humid as it was that day. Even the restrooms are decked out, right down to what might be oil paintings by local artists ... and the restrooms even smell good! The name of the restaurant does indeed refer to the work of Vincent Van Gogh. The service is excellent. They both explain the dishes you inquire about and answer other questions you might have. Being my usual self, I was observing and making assessments of the situation, such as the service and its style. It was funny in that it tried to be informal and even a little folksy, given that it's Vermont, when it is in fact fine dining. In reality, the real vibe was that the interaction was more formal than in many nicer restaurants, whether rural or urban. With that said, Starry Night is an expensive restaurant. I asked my friend about all the 5 star ratings. My friend said that, for Vermont, it is probably a 5 star event, but if it was in New York City and its environs, it would most likely fetch 4 stars. I'll go with that logic. The entree and the dessert were very tasty, but I did not like there being a polarizing spice in the butter, nor the small portion of the (other person's) cheese plate. I did appreciate the curated atmosphere and the professional service. Starry Night Cafe' made for a very interesting experience. I chose things from the menu that worked for me. I'm glad that I was taken here to eat, and I'm (humorously) stressing the words "taken here."

I also ordered Onion Rings. I asked the counter person what cut of steak they used for their Philly's. She politely offered that they use shaved steak. I asked if it was Rib-Eye or Top Round or Sirloin, because the word 'steak' can mean any cut of beef really. She said she would go out back in the kitchen an ask - came back in a moment and said, 'Rib-Eye'. "Great", I said and ordered a whole / lg. Our order only took a brief time before being delivered to our dining room table by the same counter person. She was very nice / good people skills...a good first impression...we were 1st time customers and...matter of factly....we used to own and operate our own pizza shop for ten years. She was a good staff member to represent their business at the front counter! The food. My Philly was outstanding. Moist. Not dry like some others I've had out. So many places use cheap Top Round of Beef, shaved thin to cut costs. This one was VERY good. I could only eat half / brought the other half with us. When the counter woman placed my wife's 'Margherita' pizza down on the table, I said, 'now THAT is a great looking pizza'!!! The counter woman said, 'yeah...it DOES look great'....'it's my favorite pizza'! And it WAS very very good. Cooked perfectly..golden crust...just the right amount of sauce to fresh mozz - cheese ratio....fresh chopped Basil sprinkled on top....and added AFTER it came out of the oven..I could tell. Perfect. She loved it. The Onion Rings? Cooked golden, perfect. They were not only cooked correctly, they tasted great and were HOT. I'm not trying to diss other restaurants but sometimes....sometimes they must cook their fries or OR's way too early in the order and must put them under a heat lamp...when they SHOULD be cooked just before the order goes out to the table....these WERE!!! And most places DO NOT make their own OR's....too messy, labor intensive..these tasted like Brew City OR's...a brand...but if not...they were VERY VERY good!!! So all and all, a very good job by 'Rocker's' on our first visit....I asked the counter woman who made the Philly / she told me / so I ventured into the kitchen and gave the crew a two thumbs up to all! Yes I did! Because I used to own my own pizzeria....and I know how hard the industry is.....I thanked them! I am a pizziolo and have been making pizzas since 1969 at The Tower Restaurant on Williston Rd, South Burlington. This was a very good pizza! By the way...it was our 50th Wedding Anniversary that day! They did a great job / and we left happy. Thanks again - Good Job staff!!! Continued success! Dave M.
