Workhorse Cafe — Restaurant in Winhall

Came here expecting good stuff but was blown away by how good everything was. Onion rings did not slide out of the tasty brown breading. The chicken sandwich was full of good sized cuts of chicken but no something you had trouble biting, or that become a giant mess. Fries are salty and fresh. Chicken tenders are not the run of the mill type, but aren't the super fancy ones that no kid on earth would eat. Nice little space in the back with tables to dine in. Great little serve yourself coffee bar. Plenty of drinks to choose from and all of our food came out quicker than expected. The menu offers a ton of vegetarian and vegan items, but there is more than 1 thing for everyone. I told the young lady at the counter that a great review was coming, and this place checks every box with bold ink. I've saved the best part for last, and thats their desserts. Mississippi Mud pie, a chocolate chip cookie cake, the list goes on, and each one of their delicious offerings was so good I found myself scraping whatever I could out of each of the dishes they are served in. Yum! Will def go back, and as often as possible. Prices are fair, the vibe in the place is chill and even the bathrooms look they are tended to regularly throughout the day. Parking can get tricky, but I've never been to a good spot that didn't have this problem. One of the coolers is stocked with frozen dinners to to heat up at home. I'm going to load up on these next time. Try it for yourself if you are in the area! Oh, and markers and plenty of paper for...

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming vibe and the comforting smell of home-cooked breakfast wafting through the air. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate about what they do—it really shows in both the service and the food. I had the iced coffee and was seriously impressed. Not only was it smooth and bold, but they use frozen coffee ice cubes—a genius move that keeps your drink cold without watering it down. It’s that kind of attention to detail that sets this place apart. The breakfast burrito was absolutely tremendous—stuffed with crispy bacon, perfectly cooked potatoes, eggs, melty cheese, and just the right touch of sour cream. It was hearty, flavorful, and seriously satisfying from the first bite to the last. But the real star of the breakfast menu? The Vermonter breakfast sandwich. Served on a warm, homemade roll and dressed with just the right touch of real Vermont maple syrup, it was pure heaven. The sweet-salty combo was unforgettable, and every bite felt like a love letter to Vermont mornings. The space itself is cozy and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect spot to relax, catch up with a friend, or even get some work done. You can tell it's a place that values community, quality, and craft. If you're in the area heading to Stratton Mountain for a day of skiing, you'd be crazy not to stop here for breakfast first. Fuel up right—you...

My best friend and I came to Vermont to visit and ride some of the biking trails with our children. Our first morning here we found this little cafe for breakfast. The food was good and the girl cashier was beautifully kind. However when we went to leave one of the clips on the bike rack broke dropping one of the bikes behind the car as I was backing out. I stopped the car and immediately got out to fix it. It was not my intention nor did I even realize I was blocking the traffic on one side of this two entrance and two exit location. No one came up behind me or tried to get around that I know of, or I certainly would have moved. It was at this moment the gentleman from the cafe, I do not know if he was an employee or owner, came out gruffly and condescending and rudely told us to get out of the middle of the road as we were blocking his customers from getting in. I tried to explain the situation and he turned his back to me smarting off that I should move out of the way to fix my problem. He did not ask if I needed help, what had happened or even remotely be kind about it. So, if you're looking for a nice breakfast it is acceptable but do not expect any kind of human kindness if anything should misfortune you. Sadly, for us, this completely...
