Gift card creemees available. All ingredients are locally sourced and each batch changes on a regular basis to feature new flavors. The owners Dani and Kevin make all flavors of their creemees from scratch! Blueberry, Strawberry, Blood Orange, Apple Pie, Maple(seems to be available all the time), of course Chocolate and Vanilla...are there all the time. Portions are generous and you may request your creemee with toppings or twist of two flavors style, and on a cone or in a cup. Truly outstanding as is their breakfast and lunches offered.

A true marketplace experience, if you will. We stopped in right when they opened at 8am on a Wednesday in August. My son had the breakfast burrito and I had the huevos rancheros. Both very good and very filling. The woman who took our order was very friendly. Everything was bright and clean and very inviting. We left a little after 9 and the place was starting to fill up by then. This was a great spot to fill up before continuing on our roadtrip, and glad we found it! We would love to come back the next time we are in town!

We live close, and there's not much out here. I don't think I've ever had worse breakfast food in my entire life, so bland and honestly it made me sad to eat here both times. Same waitress both times, likely same chef by the taste of it. I don't think it can get worse than this. Save your money and drive the extra 20 minutes to Wheel Inn. Thank me later.

Once you enter, fresh cinnamon rolls are being made in front of you. It's counter service and everyone was so nice and helpful.

Located in McCullough Student Center, it has two levels, the bottom being the Crossroads Cafe where you can buy smoothies and boba (don't get the boba) and upstairs being the Grille where you can order (overpriced) delicious sandwiches that will satisfy your night cravings, especially if you get sick of dining hall food. I like sitting upstairs in a booth because there are outlets I can use for my phone charger, my laptop charger, etc. It's also nice how the Grille is next to Wilson social space so you can watch performances/ditch them to go eat if watching Riddim or Evolution made you hungry.

Definitely recommend brunch here.

I was treated to dinner here. This, the Starry Night Cafe', is not the sort of place I would…read morepatronize and I'm still asking myself if I really dined here. It's that a friend treated me here because I did all the driving in and around the Green Mountains of Vermont to look at the scenery. Starry Night Cafe' is about fine dining. It's also about "new" cuisine, so that means creative culinary takes on what could be ordinary dishes. Sometimes I'll buy into the concept of "new" and sometimes I won't. Either way, the food here is not meant to be just like it is at all those other restaurants! The two chosen starters were a Caesar-like salad and a cheese plate. I liked my salad, but felt the cheese plate didn't have much to it, although the cheese was of high quality and good. The entrees selected were the mafaldine pasta and the salmon. My friend thought the salmon was good, and I thought my pasta was very good. Portions were about right for fine dining and, thankfully, not abysmally small. The mafaldine's presentation looked green as if it the sauce might be pesto, but it is not. It's a spinach pasta. Also, note that these are pronounced "mah-fahl-deen-eh" and not "mah-fahl-deen." A dessert was ordered and it featured berries and cream. I tried a little bit of it and it was delicious. The bread that arrived at the beginning of the meal was excellent. The serving staff seemed excited about the vaudouvan butter. This name doesn't mean anything to me. Should it? The menu mentioned that the butter was flavored with curry. I hesitated and was told that it was a French curry. I wondered how that might be different. Still, no matter how much or how little you use of it, the aftertaste lingers for too long. I did not like this nifty butter. Starry Night Cafe' looks inconspicuous from the parking lot. Once inside, there are several nice rooms in which to eat and you initially see a tastefully appointed bar. Each of the dining spaces has a slightly different personality. There are even outdoor spaces flanked by a large pond that would have worked well if it wasn't as humid as it was that day. Even the restrooms are decked out, right down to what might be oil paintings by local artists ... and the restrooms even smell good! The name of the restaurant does indeed refer to the work of Vincent Van Gogh. The service is excellent. They both explain the dishes you inquire about and answer other questions you might have. Being my usual self, I was observing and making assessments of the situation, such as the service and its style. It was funny in that it tried to be informal and even a little folksy, given that it's Vermont, when it is in fact fine dining. In reality, the real vibe was that the interaction was more formal than in many nicer restaurants, whether rural or urban. With that said, Starry Night is an expensive restaurant. I asked my friend about all the 5 star ratings. My friend said that, for Vermont, it is probably a 5 star event, but if it was in New York City and its environs, it would most likely fetch 4 stars. I'll go with that logic. The entree and the dessert were very tasty, but I did not like there being a polarizing spice in the butter, nor the small portion of the (other person's) cheese plate. I did appreciate the curated atmosphere and the professional service. Starry Night Cafe' made for a very interesting experience. I chose things from the menu that worked for me. I'm glad that I was taken here to eat, and I'm (humorously) stressing the words "taken here."
