Our order was perfect today, and it was super busy! And a super kind employee took a moment to give me a tip on how to use the online order option more efficiently. Best trip to the works so far!! Thank you!!

Very cute atmosphere! I love all the details inside this cafe. We were just passing through town on our way to Maine. My caramel latte had immense flavor. My partner’s carrot mango smoothie was really good too. The bagel sandwiches were just okay. It was a different kind of cheese than Im used to and threw me off.

Awesome sandwiches. Was a perfect to-go on my hike. The green smoothy was one of the best I have had too

Great local breakfast place. Friendly staff, and the best place had an environments friendly vibe, and serving dishes. I had a bowl with rags, bacon (of course!) and quinoa. Excellent and enough for lunvh later. Room in back for our small can RV

I just had an incredible experience at this charming little coffee shop in downtown Brattleboro! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind. I ordered a cup of their coffee, and it was hands down the best I’ve had in a while. Rich, smooth, and expertly brewed, it was the perfect blend of flavors that awakened my senses. I also couldn't resist trying their bagel, and it did not disappoint! Freshly baked, perfectly toasted, and generously topped, it was the ideal pairing with my coffee. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the warm atmosphere of the place. If you find yourself in Brattleboro, this coffee shop is a must-visit! Ask for Missy fantastic service. Rating:

This is my go to eatery when I’m in town. Popular in the area as I can tell, very cozy interior and good for hanging out with friends. Good variety menus and they emphasize on local supplies. The Pesto Chicken Quinoa was tasty, fresh ingredients and good coffee. Highly recommend.

Ah, young Padawan, a journey to The Works Cafe in Brattleboro, VT, I undertook . A most satisfying experience, it was. Ordered, I did, the Super Chicken sandwich—fresh, flavorful, and served hot it was . Truly, a meal worthy of a Jedi Master! Though the cantina was near full, swift and efficient the service remained . Friendly and welcoming, the staff were—strong with the Force of hospitality, they are . A well-run establishment, indeed. Return, I shall!

Ordered a sandwich for brunch today, it was amazing. Second time ordering here, and the first time I was unsure as to whether I'd return. BUT this visit changed that! My only suggestion- I ordered a Ham, Egg & Cheese on a Cinnamon Bagel. It would've been better if it didn't taste like an onion bagel... Maybe use a separate slicing knife for sweeter flavored bagels, so as to not interfere with the taste. Otherwise, delicious! Thank you very much!
