My daughter's toast was cold, the sausage patties were overcooked, and they only take cash. I also noticed staff in the kitchen without hats on. I was willing to give this place a try even though I still think I remember them attempting to host what felt like a distasteful event during the Cambridge mascot debate. I wanted to give them a fair shot despite questioning some of their community judgment, but overall the experience was underwhelming for a place serving pretty basic diner food. If you're going to be a diner, nail the basics.

In Bennington randomly for a doctor's appointment with my son. Reached for Yelp to guide us for a…read morebrunch-time sandwich - this led us here. Outside looked like a furniture/nicknack store. Typical "I love VT" t shirts and stuffies in the window, $400 syrup, and artsy cards and candles etc. Making our way to the back was a small nook of seats and tables and a breakfast/sandwich/bagel menu. To say we were skeptical was an understatement. My son ordered a Southwestern steak and egg sandwich on a rainbow bagel. I had a dill pickle chicken salad sandwich on an everything bagel. Add in a coffee, a hot chocolate, two cans of Diet Coke (and a small cheesecake round for my son) and we were all set. Menu was way more reasonably priced than we expected. Average bagel sandwich (which they fill amply) was roughly $10. All of the fillings were very good. Well seasoned. Creative. Again, exceeded our initial expectations. Even the bagels were surprisingly good. Please note I grew up in NJ so a bagel is essentially unattainable to me north of the Tappanzee Bridge. I was expecting "airport quality," however, it was not half bad. Chewy and tasty for the area. Service left me with two very distinct feelings. 1) the people were AWESOME. Friendly, attentive, seemingly happy to be at work (a rarity). But... 2) there were 6 total customers in the store (some simply reading books) and yet it took 16 minutes for our coffee and hot chocolate and roughly 30 for the sandwiches. Was so weird to experience the quiet of the store - yet the ticket time and wait of a bustling morning at a deli. Oh well. Was a pleasant place to be. Will likely find a different place next week following our upcoming appointment. But was not mad at the experience.

We lucked out when we arrived and snagged the last open booth. Service was quick, with our drinks and food arriving fast, and I loved seeing a selection of hot sauces right on the table. Not pictured is the cinnamon roll we split because it was too good to wait for a photo. The Texas burrito and chili got rave reviews from my dining partner, and my omelette was solid, though interestingly assembled. The fillings were layered rather than chopped and mixed throughout. Once I cut it all together, the flavor came through nicely, and the home fries were great. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already eyeing a few other dishes to try next time.

So I'm not a Vermonter and definitely not a Benningtonian...actually my first trip to Vermont…read morevisiting friends. Was kinda shocked to see a diner and even more shocked when I drove up and was transported back in time. Like this is a real old time diner with the counter and stools and juke boxes at the tables! What a pleasant surprise. The best part of course was the service AND the food. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were hefty hefty hefty. I did the bagel melt with bacon instead of ham and they did it up right!! I ate every morsel including the mildly seasoned well cooked home fries. The bagel had the right toasted crunch to it, the sandwich was not oily and thus my clothes were spared. The egg was perfectly fried and the bacon lover in me was in heaven because it was not salty and my extra bacon was the right portion. My friend's plate was also done well and he ate every bit. I took off one star for the following: The booths are not for us larger people and so it was quite a squeeze (in and out) and I should have sat on a counter stool but that did not look any more comfortable for the tush. Also, the entrance was not ramped and thus not handicapped accessible. Otherwise, I would have given the place a 5 and if ever in Vermont again, will definitely stop by...I may even go by again before I leave the state. Great meal and experience.

We were starving so not worth waiting for them to remake it. The avocado toast on "sourdough" was messy and not great. There was no seasoning or sauce/dressing so the food was just bland. Didn't know what a shaved egg was but found out it was a hard boiled egg sliced up. The sourdough isn't like the good quality I'm used to and it tasted like generic white bread. The food sustained me, but it was nothing spectacular. I did appreciate the eclectic 90s playlist that was on.

I wish there was more light and sun light to get in, may be I will get a better lit booth next time. The lady at the gift store was dry and didn't not have a positive outlook on her.
