Beautiful space with friendly employees but the baked goods were just OK. Would not recommend if you are looking for the best bakery but certainly if you need a coffee and some bread and you're in the area, Red Hen is fine.

Bright, spacious cafe with a solid sausage-egg breakfast sandwich and a super-sweet maple latte. Love the buzz and business of the place, with people all of ages working and meeting and laughing inside. Situated in the heart of the capital.

Came here on Easter and I was SO glad it was open! Found this on our drive home from Stowe and was a great stop! Parking was easy and inside has a decent amount of seating. It is full of pastries and bread, it smells great! Ordered a variety of things and it was hard to choose because everything looks so good. I ordered a chocolate almond croissant, a kouign amann, and a daily focaccia with pesto. They were all delicious. I then ordered a French Onion Toastie and was so crunchy and tasted exactly like a french onion soup! It took about 10 minutes to come out. It was unique and bread was so crunchy and perfect. I thought prices were very fair and would definitely love to come back to this bakery!

Really nice little bakery with a great selection of pastries and bread. We ordered ahead and stopped by to pick it up on our way out of Stowe. I'm glad we did, because on a Saturday morning they are absolutely slammed. The line was all the way back to the door and there were no tables available. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant, a caramelized onion pastry, a sticky bun, and a loaf of Mad River Grain. The croissants were very good. Good lamination, nice and buttery. I do prefer a crunchier croissant though, and I wished there was a little more ham in the ham and cheese. Of the two croissants, I preferred the caramelized onion which was loaded with onion flavor. The sticky bun was delicious, but nothing mind blowing for me. We took the loaf home for some sandwiches and toasts, and thoroughly enjoyed that! Definitely get a loaf of bread when you're picking up some pastries. Overall a solid bakery, but definitely order ahead especially on the weekend!

As a self-proclaimed maple creemee connoisseur, I hearby proclaim Red Hen's maple creemee the best in the world! Their Mad Maple is resplendent with rich and creamy maple deliciousness. When served in their homemade waffle cone and sprinkled with maple dust, it's like being transported to culinary heaven. Every week, the magicians at Red Hen concoct a new flavor to offer in rotation, in addition to maple. I just can't seem to try them, due to my maple creemee addiction. But others I've taken to the cafe have and have been impressed. Enjoy your sweet treat out back in the gorgeous Camp Meade community space, a perfect place for children to explore, and for adults to linger under the shade trees. Or plop down on a bench on the porch encircling the cafe. Either way, you'll be in heaven.

When we visited Vermont on July 5th, we were on a mission to try a few creemees along the way. We already had one from Little Gordo's in Burlington earlier in the day so I couldn't give these guys a 5 star rating because I found Little Gordo's to be better. The prices were competitive. The bakery was closed but I'm hoping there's another opportunity to give them a try. I say that because there was one seeded baguette left which we were glad to have bought. That deserves a 4.5 star rating. The young lady assisting with orders was personable and nice. There aren't any places to sit but there is a camp area close by (not sure if customers can use the benches). This place is also next to a river walk trail which I thought was a nice touch. I specially loved their sign right outside the ice cream booth.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for coffee and pastries on a Sunday morning. I had the maple walnut sticky bun, and he had a ham and cheese croissant. Both were fantastic. I only wish there were more walnuts! The cashier was nice and very patient (it took me a long time to choose from all the beautiful pastries). There is plenty of seating inside, as well as a little store with apparel and pantry products. Such a great cozy cafe!
