This place was on our way to our first destination this morning and we said screw it, let's give a try, Ooof!! we would've have a better tasty breakfast at McDonald's for half the cost. Yep!! This place is actually really pricey for the quality of food you get here. I ordered the egg, cheese sandwich on a biscuit (because we always like to try the local restaraunt's biscuits) and I added their maple sausage. I wanted to get an almond croissant as well until I saw a fly in the pastry cabinet just have his way on all the pastries. NOPE!! This was probably one of the worse breakfast sandwiches I have ever had to date. The biscuit itself was hard as a rock, dry and crumbled upon touch. It was lousy as heck. The maple sausage was a thick patty, but small, almost like a quarter size round compared to the size of the biscuit. So for what sandwich and a cup of coffee was around $23. Heck no! Was that even worth it with how bad inflation is these days Not sure how they have such high ratings, but just be warned. You're welcome!

I got the Snack Shack iced (Maple Custard latte) all 3 times and it was amazing. I love trying fun flavored coffees and this was one of the best I have had. Sweet enough, but not overpowering. My husband tried the cold brew and a Cherry Dream pour over (iced) and he thought both were great as well (he is also much more knowledgeable and particular about coffee). I also loved that all the food and baked goods were gluten free! The biscuits used for the egg sandwiches were awesome (my husband is not gf and he even enjoyed). We also tried a maple cream cheese cookie, chocolate chip cookie, s'mores biscuit, pb and jelly cookie and all were amazing for being gf (we took a banana biscuit and double chocolate chip cookie home to try later). Everything had a good texture (which is rare for gf) and everything was super fresh as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful and while the place is small, it had a very cool vibe where you could enjoy your coffee inside or sit outside at the picnic tables on a nice day.

Outside seating gets packed and tables are super close so it is probably better to just grab and go somewhere else. Inside is nice with a good selection of baked items. I guess I missed the prices because my total for 2 drinks was around $10. Pretty expensive when one of this is just drip coffee. I get it's Stowe pricing but still it seems a lot for what I got. Also, I'm not sure why they allow people to pour creamer/milk themselves. I saw a guy take a creamer and pour it with direct contact into his reusable bottle. Gross! read more

We did like this place yesterday. Delicious breakfast sandwiches. Courteous staff. However, this morning, my Son ordered his same breakfast sandwich on GF bread and got half a sandwich. I asked why there's only half a sandwich, and they said they just started doing half sandwiches 'today', but there was the same amount of 'stuff' on it. Sooo, not sure if it's a GF thing, a management thing, but definitely NOT going back to pay full price for half a sandwich. Very disappointing. read more

It's a nice convenient place to get coffee, but it's not the best coffee around and the wait is unbearable. We order an americano and breakfast sandwich and it took 20 minutes to get it.

Which mind you an almond croissant is simply a day old croissant that is split in half and filled with almond past and rebaked.

However I do know that the croissant we got was not fresh it was stale and the didn't have an airy flaky texture that true butter laminated croissants are supposed to have. It tastes like they used a cheap subpar butter and have burnt the croissant. The breakfast burrito was also badly wrapped and leaking everywhere and had for some god awful reason been filled with hard boiled eggs instead of scrambled eggs which only made it harder to handle.

I got the turkey, bacon, and avocado on a baguette, and my dad got the smash burger. The service was excellent from start to finish. Both lunches came with fries, which I don't think were house-made, but that's fine, as they were cooked perfectly. The real stars were the sandwiches. Mine was excellent in every way, from the baguette to the meats, the pickled onions, the cheddar, and the aioli. It all came together in such a delicious way. My dad raved about how good his smash burger was. If I had to find anything negative, it would be that it is not inexpensive, but it's also not unreasonable for the quality of the food. If you want a cheap lunch, this isn't the place. If you want a really good lunch with some locally made products, I don't think you will be disappointed. I sure wasn't.

Second day we had smoked chicken wings, again very well made and delicious, and we split the cheese steak with everything. It was huge, enough for two, and really good.

Then discovered the loaves stocked daily fresh bread at Stowe Living and at The Commodities Natural Market. More recently we went to Hyde Park location to try their lunch sandwiches. The Turkey Bacon Avocado with cheddar cheese and pickled red onions is fresh, tasty, easy to eat - a favorite. Panuozzo is an interesting creation using sourdough pizza to wrap around fresh burrata, roasted garlic cloves, roasted red peppers and pesto - the burrata is super fresh and rich type of mozzarella but sandwich is very messy (both hands and face) and we reeked of garlic afterwards. Seriously, the garlic taste and odor built up and literally lingered for 24h - so make sure to share this with your loved ones so all of you are in the garlic group. We would order the Panuozzo again but probably leave off the garlic. Bahn Mi is an interpretation of a classic Vietnamese Bahn Mi - it is tasty but contained no cucumbers, less cilantro and pickled carrots/daikon plus the gravy made the bread soggy. It is still good and we would order again but ask for the gravy on the side as a dipping sauce. All 3 sandwiches were winners and we loved our food adventure. We were missing pickles from 2 of our 3 sandwiches but the 1 pickle we had was good. The sandwiches were hearty so we didn't eat the fries. We will be back and can't wait to try Reuben, cheese steak, fried chicken as well as dinner!
