Pride friendly Absolutely love their coffee!
Really nice place to sit and read a while. There are comfortable chairs, as well as tables for doing serious work. Nice selection of pastries. We love to stop here whenever we come through Bennington. Be sure to admire the ceiling. The tin ceiling tiles are really neat! It's like stepping back in time.
Excellent coffee and lovely pecan pie. We stopped off whilst traveling around on our last day of our holiday. The staff were really lovely and there was a good choice of cakes, sandwiches and other various things to eat. A must stop for anyone who enjoys a nice place to chill and have great coffee and food.
Great local meeting place with hot and cold beverages, sandwiches, baked goods, and daily soup and quiche. Check outside live performances and spend a few hours catching up with friends.
Stopped by while I was trying to kill time before an interview. The coffee was amazing, the customer service fantastic, and the options for treats were perfect. They have vegan treats and treats that are gluten free, along with "normal" treats. Everything was great and I can't wait to go back.
Loved this cafe! Excellent non-hipster coffee in a laid back atmosphere. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my hangout.
I am the kid of the two people who owned this cafe. They owned this when I was a small child I spent so much time there it was like a second house I miss this place so much I really hope they rebuild the inside. Looking at the other reviews I can see all the things my parents did made people happy they worked so hard.
My favorite thing about this Cafe is the live music! I've discovered several wonderful new musicians here. The food is great, too! Love it here
