    3 piggies!
    John A.

    Our first time in VT as guests at a destination wedding, my daughter found this place. Off-season on a Saturday early afternoon it was not too packed. Our server was warm and helpful. The food was top notch outstanding. Highly recommended. We had 3 piggies and the Mountain Cristo. Both meals were delicious!

    special: blackberry chocolate pancakes
    Kristin S.

    Our server Melissa greeted us with an apology for having to wait a while since she was the only server working. After that, she kindly made sure we had all the condiments we needed, and explained the specials enthusiastically, giving them more credit than they ended up deserving. We ordered two specials: a blackberry chocolate pancake ($5.95) and eggs in purgatory ($14). The blackberries were delicious, the only part of our breakfast that had any real flavor. The pancake was small for a diner. The only chocolate present was a modest drizzle--no chips. Better with their syrup, though. We were told the eggs in purgatory dish was made by cooking the eggs with the chef's unique red sauce, and that it had a kick to it. Well, the kick came from sprinkled red peppers one can find at pizza restaurants, and other than that it was tasteless, even down to the diced tomatoes mixed in. No salt, pepper, garlic, herb or cheese, just tasteless goop with hot pepper sprinkles. Good if you like bland, but I left hungry. Didn't eat much of the eggs, or burnt toast that came alongside them. What a waste. We also ordered a surf & turf benedict with extra hollandaise sauce which was brought to us with zero sauce. The kitchen ran out. Instead of the hollandaise, the server explained, the chef added extra lobster and steak. It didn't look like extra. The party next to us arrived shortly after we got our food and got a chance to hear that there was no more hollandaise. We would have appreciated the opportunity to change our order upon realizing that there was none left. What's a benedict without hollandaise? A poached egg on top of carbs. . . tasteless. What should have been a buttered english muffin was a flattened, untoasted bulkie roll. The potatoes that came with this item were also tasteless. Needless to say, for a dish that was advertised as $15 on the menu, it was disappointing. More disappointing? The register regurgitated this price with an additional $3 added onto it. Bamboozling. The price difference wasn't an issue for us, because the server was civil enough to take it off the bill (though without an apology) once we showed her the short curly hair cooked into the white blank canvas of one of the poached eggs from the surf & turf. This service recovery attempt was a bit disappointing, and we felt like we were a burden to the place. We had to wait until the server asked us for a box to tell her about the hair, because she didn't check up on us after she delivered our food. It's very embarrassing to have to report a hair in food in the first place. Combined with the lack of sympathy, we felt like we shouldn't have come. It was enough for us not to want to return to give the place a second shot. Enter at your own risk.

    Very fun spot. Came here to load up on breakfast fuel for a day of riding Stratton. The space reminds me of those famous tiny houses, a style I thoroughly enjoy. Efficient, clean, modern, classy, practical. Case in point, the creamer for our coffee came out in mini milk jugs in a tiny bucket of ice. Perfectly enough, thoughtful and fun. I can hardly wait to come back.

    Got the vegetarian eggs Benedict item. Wasn't impressed. It was pricier than the meat version and the first item was avocado. There is barely any avocado on it and it wasn't even that ripe. This place advertised brunch and brunch drinks but didn't have a drink menu. I ordered and Irish coffee and then scratched that cause the waitress didn't seem to get what I wanted so I got coffee and a shot of whiskey. They didn't have the whiskey I asked for and she couldn't tell me what other ones they had. I went inside and checked it out myself...not sure why she couldn't tell me as there was only three bottles in there. Each time I got a refill on my coffee I had to go inside and get my own sweetener. The seating was limited and cramped feeling even though it was outside. Wouldn't go to again.

    Best tomato soup I've ever had and the meal was fantastic. Waitress had a great personality and was very cheerful she made us feel at home.

They still have specific male- female bathrooms which could be made available to both or 100 of the new sex orientations. My only problem is their hours. Most breakfast places seat diners during their open hours. If it says 1:30pm then the staff can get out by 2:30. This restaurant tends to push people away - who are there for brunch - at about 12:15. Not sure the owners know how much business they are actually turning away since it's not apparent that once someone has been turned away over an hour before their end of day never bother to return. Also now that tips aren't technically taxed I would think employees would like a full day of work. Perhaps they need 2 shifts of wait staff and/or open for breakfast at 8:00am rather than 7:00. I moved to Manchester 3 yrs ago and have been baffled by the shortage of people willing to work full time or employers willing to add part-time workers on their busy days (Friday through Monday) There must be a way to keep staff and accommodate early afternoon brunch (10-2pm) diners. Manchester is basically a resort town that has kept its small town feel - which is a positive - but most restaurants in the area depend on seasonal diners. (Ski season, Fall foliage (leaf peepers, Summer equestrian, musical, play events and quiet during "mud season" so many businesses take a break some time during April/May. Manchester is an odd duck of a town - more New England than upstate NY or E. Pennsylvania. Some old locals insist on calling lunch - dinner and dinner supper which just confuses anyone who isn't a member of the DAR. (Daughters of the American Revolution) I have friends here who had relatives come over on the Mayflower - it was obviously a VERY crowded boat.

It's a very small space but very popular! Aside from the chalk board drink menu, there is a TV in the corner that displays ways to customize your drinks by making them a "campfire" drink or a "nutty Vermonter" drink, etc. Ofc there is also a station to add milk, sugar, etc on your own too. The majority of our group was ordering drinks inside but some stayed outside but the cozy firepit to warm up which was just perfect! I returned the next day on a mission for a yummy pick me up before our drive home and ordered a Nutty Vermonter Matcha Latte. The "nutty vermonter" add on includes pistachio and maple syrup. I balked a bit that the price tag was over $10 (before tip) but in a happy accident, the barista got my drink wrong (gave me a Nutty Vermonter latte sans matcha), so after she remade mine, she asked if I wanted the other one too. It worked out that I got a creamy, delicious drink (exactly what I wanted) and our driver taking us back home got a sweet pistachio latte too. 10/10 from both him and me!

We had a beautifully scenic ride here. Once we arrived we found parking to be easy since it's summer and not the busy season of the area. Then once we walked up a flight of stairs we found the coffee shop and all the stores and other restaurants nearby too. Despite the name Upper Standard Coffee don't be fooled they looked as though they do a whole lot more than that. They had a case of some baked goods, waffle breakfast sandwiches and also advertised both ice cream and pizzas. Also besides coffee they had lotus energy drinks and I saw mentions of espresso martinis and other alcoholic beverages. Truly lots of options. The space inside is quite small so if it gets busy I assume the line would be outside quite quickly. They did have some chairs outside to enjoy the summer weather with your food or drink of choice. My wife and I both wanted to try one of their flavored coffee/latte drinks. Some of them being Campfire (s'mores), White Mountain (white mocha and lavender), Lavender Matcha. All of the options plus more sounded tempting. We did settle on White Mountain for my wife while I chose the French Toast. Both have tons of flavor and if this were local to us we would be here often! If you find yourself at Stratton Mountain Village and want coffee or a bite to eat go here!

The drinks are usually on point as they were on this visit. But this time around I ordered a Grilled Cheese for about $14.. For the price you'd expect a good sandwich cooked correctly right? Well.. Honestly, I think they put the bread in a toaster, threw a piece of cheese on it.. Held it under a heat lamp to kinda try to melt the cheese then topped it with another toasted slice of bread because is was dry as hell. Definitely was not cooked with butter on a flat top. I could tell because the cheese wasn't melted onto the bread. Fries were luke warm as if they were lying in wait to be taken away.. Just not the best etiquette.. Not for the price. My cat could make a better sandwich. So no.. I wouldn't order their Grilled Cheese again.. Now if it was done right we might have a different story and better review. The bar service people were super cool though. The food prep isn't their fault. Very nice staff. Great libations. As far as ambiance, it's your typical ski lodge Bar. Bunch of happy people and families enjoying a bite or beverage on the mountain while chatting it up. There you have it! Cool spot.. (won't do the Grilled Cheese again though)
