I cannot explain to you how necessary it is to have someone kind and friendly as your first impression. I hate to say how rare that is these days. So, Black Cap wins the day on that one. Next, the barista/cashier nailed the espresso. Like nailed.the.espresso. Perfectly dialed in. I tend to get very meh espresso shots most times at most places and they're usually doctored enough to pass as "good." This time and this place, it was perfect. I am sure it will be a very long time until I get back to Stowe and I am sure that person will be gone but I am grateful for the experience of both the person and the latte, today.

This place was on our way to our first destination this morning and we said screw it, let's give a try, Ooof!! we would've have a better tasty breakfast at McDonald's for half the cost. Yep!! This place is actually really pricey for the quality of food you get here. I ordered the egg, cheese sandwich on a biscuit (because we always like to try the local restaraunt's biscuits) and I added their maple sausage. I wanted to get an almond croissant as well until I saw a fly in the pastry cabinet just have his way on all the pastries. NOPE!! This was probably one of the worse breakfast sandwiches I have ever had to date. The biscuit itself was hard as a rock, dry and crumbled upon touch. It was lousy as heck. The maple sausage was a thick patty, but small, almost like a quarter size round compared to the size of the biscuit. So for what sandwich and a cup of coffee was around $23. Heck no! Was that even worth it with how bad inflation is these days Not sure how they have such high ratings, but just be warned. You're welcome!

I wasn't the biggest fan of their plain coffee with almond milk, so I'd recommend getting a flavor in it. Great spot for a quick grab and go, and they have some canned and bottled drink too.

I was five minutes late to breakfast but still got a bagel with cream cheese and cucumber added. There's seating inside, and the staff was really friendly.
