Super busy place for breakfast and lunch, but each time I've been there, the staff is always in a good mood and super helpful with decisions (which is needed sometimes because everything sounds good). I had the 50/50 sandwich last time I was there. Pastrami, turkey, Cole slaw, ground mustard on toasted bread. Sounds normal, right? Marsh Brothers put this sandwich into a whole other conversation of good. I grew up with Full Belly Deli in Portland, Maine and got to experience Big G's in Waterville, Maine for a couple decades before it closed and I can confidently say that Marsh Brothers is on a different level. Top notch food. It's worth the small 5 minute detour off highway 89 in Lebanon, NH. If you're driving from VT into NH and you're hungry, you should be required to go check it out. You will not be sorry

We made a special pilgrimage to King Arthur Baking Company's headquarters as part of our Vermont…read morevacation, and as longtime customers, we were genuinely excited to finally visit in person. The store did not disappoint -- it's a baker's paradise in every sense. Every possible ingredient, tool, pan, piece of equipment, and baking mix you could imagine is here, beautifully displayed and easy to browse. The space is bright, immaculate, and extremely well organized, with helpful staff ready to answer questions or point you toward something new. There's also a demonstration kitchen and a café, which adds even more to the experience. While their website is fantastic (and what we've relied on for years), the in‑person store is absolutely worth the trip. Whether you're an avid baker or looking for the perfect gift for someone who is, this is a destination worth driving for. We're so glad we finally made it -- and we'll be talking about this stop for a long time.

The cappuccino was delicious, though, with pretty latte art. Sat in the outdoor area with umbrellas and flowers; much of the "campus" had logo decor for photos and such. Unfortunately, a language exchange group took up much of the shaded seating, though only a couple cups of coffee in front of ~15 folks (please, buy something and support the business if you're going to take up that much space)?! Worth a visit and especially on a sunny day. Bough a few items at the shop and felt better!

My son loved his Pha, my curry was delicious (spicy, but just enough to wake up your mouth while eating, not so much to cause you to pause or sweat), and my husband kept raving about the egg on his dish, saying he would have liked 2 or 3 of them. We enjoyed a very good meal! My only comment is that there was only one man taking orders and serving, so be patient; he really could have used someone to help out.

The tofu sandwich was equally flavorful. The tofu, marinated in a not too spicy soy sauce, was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Next time, I would order extra sauce since it was so good! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Lebanon area!

For coffee, we had a light roast pour-over and a flat white, and both were absolutely phenomenal. Despite being packed on a gorgeous fall day, the service was surprisingly fast and everyone was so friendly. And the atmosphere? Unreal. Sitting there, looking out the open garage door at the colorful fall trees in the middle of a charming small town... this Florida girl absolutely lost her mind. If I lived anywhere nearby, this would be my weekend coffee spot without question.

Ascutney for a week and decided to have a low-key night and have dinner at the onsite restaurant, The Maple Kitchen. It was a slow Sunday night and no reservations needed. The restaurant only had the bar tender manning the bar and the tables. He was very nice but the wait was long... luckily we were in vacation mode so we didn't mind the wait. While we were waiting for the food, we were enjoying the Moscow Mule made by the bartender. He poured all his drinks to the rim, it was great! They only had 2 things on tap: Switchback ale and Harpoon hard cider,but they were solid brews. It took about 45 minutes before our entrees were served and we started to think this may be a mistake. Boy were we wrong in the best way. The lobster bisque dip came with 2 rolls of warm bread already buttered on the outside...soft center with the creamy dip spread over it was so scrumptious. The lamb chop was cooked to perfection and had a orzo chickpea side that can be a main dish in itself. The duck was cooked with crispy skin on, very tender and also came with a delicious rice pilaf. We also had the half chicken breast dish which was perfectly seasoned, juicy! Came with a mushroom and spinach stir fry and mashed potatoes was more like creamy scalloped potato. We were completely stuffed but wanted to try a dessert because the food was just amazing.

It's also so picturesque - walking in from the outside - during a snowfall. I have fond memories of the dishes I've enjoyed here. The service is rapid and earnest. The ambience here is subtly-modern tavern. The first dish they do well is the basic pepperoni wood-fired pizza. It has a very substantial-by-way-of-sturdy crust: I want to say there is a dusting of corn meal beneath the bottom of the pizza, though not sure. Maybe that is why they name one of their featured pizza's, "Dust Pan." Poor Thom's pizza leftovers have been my sustenance, at times. My favorite pizza here is the Sugar Shack with Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions, smoked bacon and a maple syrup drizzle. This one is a real treat which I wish I could have all of the time. Seriously. I also love the Shepherd's Pie, here, which I don't see on the current online menu. They might prepare it for you, anyway, if they have the ingredients that evening. It's a refined take on the classic Irish pie with ultra-diced meat and veggies and exquisite flavors from the combination and seasonings. It's also the most gorgeous Shepherd's Pie I've seen. The samosas are awesome, crispy and substantial, though I did not have the best experience with the spicy green chutney once. Their buffalo and sweet Thai Chili wings rock! Favorite. Love them for how crispy they are. The burgers are good though not as memorable as the previous dishes I've mentioned. Their fries are very good especially with honey mustard.
