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.

I really don't know why people frequent places like Dunkin Donuts & Starbucks when gems like this…read moreexist. My husband and I stopped in for an iced coffee while out shopping. 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!!

Easy five stars. No doubt…read more Absolutely beautiful setting. That's half of the experience, right? Service was excellent. Not intrusive, but attentive and accommodating. Nice job Samantha! And the owner is a great person. Tea: loved it! The selections are astonishing. Sandwich (tomato and mozzarella) and soup (broccoli and cheddar) just SO GOOD! High quality ingredients; exquisite taste, not overdone; and the bread... delicious! Rutland is blessed to have this place. As good as any similar establishment in a big city, here or abroad. All at very reasonable prices! Definitely the place to go.

July 27th catching up on reviews We were walking around…read moredowntown trying to visit a shop across the street and they were unexpectedly closed. So, decided to check this new place out. When we have more time we will be back. We were quickly acknowledged and answered any questions we had. We ordered 2 drinks teas both were delicious, can't remember them right now. As our drinks were being created I was checking out their huge selection of bag teas, I had Lapsang Souchong tea on my shopping list for making seitan, I was shocked to find it in our lil small town and so happy! The Gentleman that waited on us knew all about its smokey flavor! I'm impressed! Looking forward to using it this week! The shop is nicely set up and has room for expansion. Has a seating area that is nicely spaced out. Very clean shop items, teas have their own areas. Looking forward to visiting with some friends soon!

Family of 5 visiting on vacation...return visitors…read more All of the breakfast food was very well prepared and had great taste. The Sugar & Spice pancakes are always a must have for my son. I had an omelet off of the Specials menu with Pineapple, ham and mozzarella...Basically a Hawaiian Pizza but in an omelet. Very good, if you like Hawaiian Pizza. The home fries didn't have much color to them but we're actually cooked through and tasted good With a nice texture. The only draw back was our server, while efficient, had like in the way of people skills. Every interaction was as short as possible. Not bad, just not good. Lots of items to shop for if you are a tourist.

I've been coming to Killington for years in the summer. We most often eat at the Backcountry Cafe,…read morewhich is a good large hearty (but not heart healthy) breakfast restaurant. We finally decided to try out S&S and I found it good, but not worth the 5 stars everyone gives it pancakes = well cooked, round, pretty standard. don't get 4 pancakes unless you want be in a pancake induced coma. also, they put a literal small ice cream scoop size of butter on the pancakes. Only IHOP does that and it's way too much butter. If you are eating all of that butter, you might need an extra dose of lipitor. Toast = kind of boring S&S pancakes = kind of tasted like pancakes with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Home fries = those were good I was there with two 16-year olds who both thought the food was "mid". I did see a small girl sitting with plate in front of her that had a waffle with ice cream and whipped cream piled so high, that it was almost as tall as her. Her eyes were huge and she was trying to figure out where to start. That waffle looked pretty good and as I passed the table, her dad was leaning in to "help out and keep the plate clean". They sell a lot of baseball hats and t-shirts.

Now I will have to go buy more. The crust just melted in your mouth. The egg and onion and bacon mix were so fluffy and tender it was to die for goodness!! The staff were friendly and helpful. Coming from Burlington which is almost two hours driving I called and reserved my order. Also their bacon maple donut is heavenly delicious Thank you for all of your hard work!! Almost forgot they have the best Italian bread!! The ambience was like walking into my grandma's kitchen.
