Shiel did the desserts for our June wedding at Skinner Barn, and we were thrilled with the result…read more We had tasted desserts at multiple places before meeting with Shiel and sampling her amazing baked goods, but a few bites into our tasting we were completely sold. The hard part was narrowing down the options, because everything we tasted was outstanding. We ended up with macaroons, shortbread, hand pies, chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, two different types of sandwich cookies, and glazed doughnuts with vanilla bean cream. Months after our wedding, our friends and family still rave to us about those doughnuts! Our only regret is that we didn't save a couple of them for ourselves, because they went fast. Shiel was incredibly professional and easy to work with, and we were excited to be able to support and up-and-coming Vermont baker. Jam Bakery was the perfect choice for our wedding, and we can't wait to track down some of her treats the next time we are in Vermont!

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!

Thrilled to be the fifth person to review this hidden gem in Waterbury. I have to admit that part…read moreof the allure was that there were no pictures on Yelp for this business (no longer the case). By the time I left this place around lunchtime I felt like I was part of the family. My three hour visit included a blueberry corn muffin, red pepper chicken risotto soup served with a fresh croissant, and coffee. All for $9. (note: cash only). The soup and croissant knocked my socks off. I had visions of Oliver Twist slurping up stew and saying, "please sir, I want some more sir." Mmm....just thinking about it now warms my stomach. Note: this place is no frills. Waterbury offers free community wifi but it can be spotty in this location. The charm of this place is definitely the outdoor patio and fact that you have to stroll through an alley to find it. Double note: they sell breads, gingersnap cookies, croissants and a few other baked treats. The owner told me that he has been operating via wholesale for years but just recently opted to open up for a mini café section. Hallelujah.

Mirabelle's is without a doubt the best bakery I've been to in Vermont! Everything I've tried here…read morehas been fantastic but the standout is the crème brûlée cake. Probably the best cake I've ever had. Ever. A must try! My best friend served the crème brûlée cake at her wedding a few years ago and guests from out of the area still talk about it. The cinnamon rolls are also unique and out of this world. They look kind of dry compared to classic soft cinnamon rolls but I tried one because a lot of reviewers recommended them and they were incredible and not dry at all. They must use a laminated dough instead of a regular enriched yeasted dough so you get sweet cinnamon flavor in every flakey buttery bite.

Food: I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and red onions, a maple scone, and maple latte. The…read morebreakfast sandwich was unique but one of the best I've had around. More akin to a breakfast panini, the gooey fluffy egg and cheese, crunchy bacon, and bright onions were perfectly supported by two slices of crunchy, crusty toasted sourdough. Such great flavor! The iced maple latte was a bit on the sweet side but still very much enjoyed it. TBD on the scone, but judging by how busy it was, it is gonna be great! Service: Friendly group passionate about what they do! Ambiance: Small town, comfortable bakery where I assume all the netizens gather.

I've been a huge fan of Red Hen for years. If I could live on their baguettes alone, I would. I…read morehadn't been to the cafe in several years, but found myself close today so I stopped in for a to-go sandwich. It's always been busy when I've gone, but wait times aren't very long and the staff is pleasant. Needless to say, I got home and inhaled my turkey on a baguette. The only thing I think is a little bit of a bummer is the lack of more "traditional" topping options. I like my sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, and onion. The cafe does not offer tomatoes and only has pickled onions. Would be nice to have a little more choice when building your own sandwich. That said, I'm still a big fan and would get food from there again in a heartbeat.

If…read moreyou're looking for freshly baked pastries, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further. Everything is made with care and it shows, from the flaky, buttery croissants to the fresh, crusty sourdough loaves. Their breakfast sandwiches are a must-try, and the seasonal pastries are always on point (don't miss the cardamom rolls in winter or the fruit galettes in summer!). The quality is consistent, and you can taste the love in every bite. The staff are friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They remember your name, offer great recommendations, and truly care about your experience. Even during busy hours, they keep things running smoothly without rushing you. Boxcar has a warm, inviting vibe. There's natural light, cozy seating, and the comforting aroma of fresh bread baking in the background. Whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down for a quiet morning with coffee, it's always a peaceful and enjoyable space. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to and I do, often. Boxcar Bakery is more than just a bakery; it's a community space, a treat-yourself moment, and a neighborhood favorite.
