“ One of the first places I visited when I first moved to Vermont. Our wait staff was so funny and the food was delicious. ”
“ I went here for breakfast based on someone else's recommendation when i put a list together on my phone. The food was delicious, with a bit of a wait, but the place was packed with people at the time, and it had a eclectic atmosphere. I'd definitely go again. ”
“ Staff is helpful and friendly, the vibe is home-y and comforting, and the food is good. My only thing is that depending on the day, egg dishes will occasionally come out cold. I usually opt for a maple latte with either pancakes, waffles, or french toast. ”
“ Tucked in a cozy area here in Winooski is a cute bistro. The vibe gave calm and chill for breakfast. It was just *chef's kiss* I started off with the Vermont apple cider mimosa and ordered a ginger bread waffle with lemon compote, scrambled eggs and maple sausage called the jumpstart #3. Everything tasted so good. The lemon compote with gingerbread gave an amazing contrast in flavor sweet and tangy. My friend had the California eggs Benedict . Looking out the window while having breakfast was really great. ”
“ This place is the coziest, comfiest, friendliest restaurant. I made an absolute fool of myself by spilling my coffee all over the place and they were super cool about it. Our server then spilled our food on their way up the stairs which is a funny but unfortunate situation. The breakfast skillet was SO hearty and delicious. Really just stellar comfort food in a stellar comfort restaurant and the coffee that I didn't spill all over the floor was wonderful as well. Really glad a friend brought me here it was a super pleasant experience despite all the various spills from all parties. ”
“ One of the best breakfasts I have had in 2024. A waffle with blueberry compote and lemon lavender whipped cream. Absolutely perfect. Service was quick and they were able to seat us within a reasonable timeframe for such a busy weekend (solar eclipse.) Highly recommend. ”
“ Sneakers Bistro is my go-to brunch place in the area. It's walkable, and there's enough street parking nearby. The one thing I don't love is that you can't make reservations. I saw another review that said sneakers "can't handle the traffic" and this is true. Definitely not the place to be at 1130am on a weekend. If you're going on a high traffic day, arrive at open. The eggs Benedict here are really fantastic and the primary reason I love it here. But some other great reasons are the drinks; the coffee drinks are decadent, they offer vegetarian and dairy free options for almost everything, and the brunch cocktails are creative and fun. It's a fantastic location for a casual brunch gathering. The staff here are also really lovely. So friendly, and always offered my dog a bowl of whipped cream and water. It's well lit and the portions are large. It's important to note that they are not diligent about cross-contamination. Celiacs and people with severe allergies be aware of this.
