Speakeasy Café in Rutland is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile…read more The interiors are playful and full of character with artsy murals, whimsical sketches, and cozy speakeasy vibes that make the space feel instantly welcoming. The sugar house coffee was a standout. Rich, smooth, and exactly what you want on a cold Vermont morning. We also tried the handmade biscuit, warmed and buttered, and it genuinely felt like a hug in biscuit form. Shoutout to Ethan for being incredibly helpful and thoughtful with recommendations. With his guidance, we built a fantastic sandwich with sourdough, hash browns, avocado, green sauce, and chili crunch. He understood the assignment. Messy, hearty, and delicious. The vegan wrap was also flavorful and satisfying. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend Speakeasy Café, especially if you're looking for strong vegetarian and vegan options in Rutland.

He ordered a large iced coffee with cream. Their iced coffee comes with coffee ice cubes so your coffee is never watered down. I ordered a small iced Vermont Maple Cremee Latte, which was awesome! Our total came to EIGHT dollars! Not sure you can visit any chain for that price. Can't wait to stop back in and try their breakfast sandwiches!!

Yellow Deli is the lighthouse in a land of meat and potatoes. And for the record, this isn't rated high from me because it's one of the very few "healthy" restaurants nearby. It's rated high because the food is just really good. You can tell that the food here was made from love and fresh, simple ingredients. Regardless of the religious beliefs that is associated with this restaurant, you can't deny that their butternut squash soup is just perfection. Loved the Ruben sandwich as well!

Each component was great. The bagel was tender and fresh. The egg was lightly fried leaving some golden liquid yolk instead of a hammered dry patty.

I also got a chocolate chip cookie that I of course waited many hours to eat after my breakfast and it was excellent also.

It was a solid week since I've had Asian food and I wanted to see what Rutland had to offer. I…read moreordered New Kong's Four Seasons dish, Hot and Sour soup and my boyfriend ordered the Crispy Duck Curry and Wonton Soup. I enjoyed the Four Seasons but couldn't drink the hot and sour soup. Not sure if it was intentional or not but the soup tasted not only way too sour but also sweet. Almost like there was balsamic vinegar or a lot of sugar dumped into it and because of that, it was my least favorite item. I did really enjoy my boyfriend's crispy duck dish as it was probably the first time I had a duck dish at an Asian restaurant that didn't come with bones. The curry sauce was really unique and almost tasted like gravy. The actual broth of the wonton soup was tasty but the wontons themselves tasted frozen and doughy. The gentleman owner was extremely polite and courteous when we were placing our order.

If you want really bad Chinese food then come to (blinking neon lights) Kong Chow restaraunt in…read moreRutland, VT. This epic tale starts with a Chinese woman with hair curlers, sticking her hand out the front door of the restaurant asking for "Credit CAR!" Several times before my boyfriend finally gave her the phone to speak to me. My boyfriend and I decided that after work, we would celebrate his birthday with some Chinese take out and evening of simple pleasures but this experience takes the cake! After the woman decided to hang up on me once she got my "Credit Car" , my boyfriend grabbed the phone as she shooed him out the door with two large stapled brown mystery bags, and slammed it behind him. "The audacity!" He states. We thought, well with this kind of customer service the food must be amazing... So one could only have dreamt. We go to unbox this unorthodox version of what they call "Chinese food", that smelled and looked as if the garbage disposal regurgitated the previous order. Sadly, the food was such a disappointment the homeless crack head behind the restaraunt would return this monstrosity and shake the dust off his feet. The rice was soggy and was the lowest grade, this is coming from an Asian person, myself. The hunan beef tasted bland, no flavor but oily and possibly an old rubber heel of a shoe. The General Tsao chicken tasted mildly like Palmolive with a touch of spice. The Szechuan dumplings, looked undercooked and smothered in the nearest mud puddle of the street and the sauce didn't taste too far from it. The appetizers were over cooked and the boneless spare ribs was such a disappointment. How can you mess that up, you ask? Easy, overcook it, throw some unknown brown sauce and smother it in aunt Jemima syrup and rub in some old grease. The wonton soup was salty, very salty. What flavor they were trying to cover, I do NOT want to know. If you want a night of diabetes, unknown flavors of possible mop water and pure regret, get your food from Kong Chow Restaurant, which I would said kong CIAO b/c they will never see this cute Asian face again! All brought to you worth $57.75! Food was inedible but worth the bad experience just to share with you!
