Then you get an ordering card you check off what you want on, then take it up to the counter. Waited at the register a rather long time while the person tending it chatted with another customer she evidently knew before I could pay. It is a pleasant place and they are welcoming, but most people would probably like a wait person so they can get their eggs and sides done the way they prefer them.

The staff is super friendly; the chef (and I'm assuming owner) even came over to say hello and check in. The ordering system is a little different but was super easy. I got the fish sandwich (if it's available on special, get it!!) I honestly can't wait to bring back some people that I know will love it just as much as I do!

Both servers had smiles at all times and didn't hesitate to meet our quirky demands. The food was overly generous in quantity and there were no complaints about it from any of us. Although the room was beginning to fill up, they did not make any effort or suggestion to get us to leave, even though we overstayed our breakfast by at least an hour. I'm sure we'll be back.

It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

The donut was fresh and soft but it was also a little dry, especially paired with Nutella which is a little thick/dry. It was good and I was happy to eat it but I don't think I would really crave it/hype it up. I was more impressed with the apricot croissant. The croissant was very soft and the apricot jam was the right amount of sweet. I also tried the veggie quiche which I was very happy with; nice savory option. Latte was good. The space had plenty of seating and had chill vibes.

It wasn't too busy when we arrived in middle of the afternoon, and we were warmly greeted. You place your order at the counter and then seat yourself. Water and cups are out too. I went with the Pad Thai ($27 with chicken) and also got to try some of the fried chicken ($17), a special. Prices seemed a little high but the dishes were delicious, with portions being reasonable and the Pad Thai not being overwhelmingly sweet. The fried chicken was magically crunchy outside and moist inside, with an irresistible dipping sauce not too cilantro-y. The Windham Local has a parking lot off to the side, but there was ample street parking too. And a shop proprietor later told us that The Windham Local is her place to eat in town!

Coffees were delicious and strong and the breakfast burrito was truly the best breakfast burrito I think I've ever had. The space is so cute. I read on their website while planning the weekend that they are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and have live music on the weekends. It looks like they do it all. We stopped in early and had our choice of tables. The space is big, clean and perfectly calm. Great spot for a slow breakfast. After ordering at the counter, they brought everything over to our table. I got the oatmeal bowl. Delicious and simple. However, I couldn't help but steal many many bites of the breakfast burrito. Seriously, get it! A great spot with good food, a friendly team and a cozy vibe.
