Twisted Halo Cafe — Restaurant in Waitsfield

The only reason this place even gets a second star is because the guy making the coffee is a beast. Turning it out and doing it quickly. Where to start. First there is a dog walking around inside the store, wasn't a huge deal to me...until I saw it walk In the back where they were making the food. How does the health department allow that? My daughter and I waited over half an hour for an açaí bowl and avocado toast. They weren't back up mind you, everyone that came in for that half hour after us got their food pretty quickly.

And you absolutely can’t not get a homemade donut while here. Easily a 10/10!
