This was the Bristol Bakery, it's under new management and has been renamed. The good news is, the quality is all still here! So is most of the menu and staff!
I work nearby and stop in about twice a month, and my coworkers regularly order lunches here. The bakery items change daily and are delicious!! Great bagels, yummy pasteries, etc. Be warned - they're first come first served, and they probably WILL sell out by the end of the day. If you want a particular bagel, stop in early!
There are ready-to-eat portions of salads, sides like noodles, sweets, and I believe even sandwiches in the cooler to the right when you walk in, and I know there are hot breakfast sandwiches ready to grab on the weekends. So if you're not in the mood to sit down, or in a rush, these are your best bet. You can also call ahead!
My roommates and I love the breakfast sandwiches, the french fries, the flatbreads, and the lattes. The portions are big, and well worth every penny. Everything is made fresh to order, so it can take some time, especially in their peak hours, but don't let that intimidate you. The staff is made of extremely pleasant, attentive, and hard working people, the food is reliably good quality, and we haven't found a drink we didn't like here!
It's our go to spot to bring relatives or friends. It's a place I'm proud of as a Hinesburg resident. Please come...
Read moreAMAZING FOOD! The baked goods have always been stellar and smoothies I've had are great too. The service is always friendly and quick. For the Super Bowl, they were doing orders of nachos. Let me tell you, THIS is the place for nachos. Hands down best nachos we've ever had. Not only was the owner really friendly and helpful, taking our order via Facebook messenger, but she let me add a wing order too. I wish I would've taken a picture because the presentation was almost as good as the incredible taste. You can tell they cook with love because most everything tasted like it was from scratch. The pork was super tender and delicious. The avocado was fresh and perfect. The generous helping of homemade queso was incredible. I just can't say enough about it. Pickup was easy and quick. If you want some kickass nachos, you NEED to call Claudia and ask her to make you up a batch. You will absolutely love it! The wings were also good too so make sure to try those as well. You can't go wrong with anything at Parkside and the owners are friendly and accommodating. Keep doing what you're doing Parkside and we'll keep...
Read moreDon't bother. Keeping driving to the one in Bristol.
This place has definitely gone down hill over the years.
Clueless staff of checked out Gen Zers. I'm not expecting Michelin-level service or cuisine, but it shouldn't require the Avengers to assemble in order to make a simple latte. There were two other orders taken after mine who got their drinks before anyone even started my order (and some of those included lattes).
And, no... I wasn't being a Karen or anything. Just hanging out trying to avoid the weird retired dude frenetically humming Flight of the Valkyries to himself who despite having anywhere else to stand essentially on top of me.
Also, the interior actually smells. So, if you go, don't wear anything you cannot wash right away. Your clothes will stink of fried food grease if you spend any amount of time in there (especially if you're waiting for hostage negotiation required for your latte).
Go to the one in Bristol. Or, better yet, get your own espresso machine...
