Stopped by this place after we walked the Gorge Trail. The owners were nice and the coffee was great. Never had Pete's Coffee before and will have to have it again!

Don’t miss out on this place!! Great coffee, great people, great food. A friend showed me this place when I was in town visiting and we drove 30min every day for a week to come here (the only day during my trip that we didn’t was the one day they were closed!). Mike and Ren are the kindest people and you can tell right away that they really care about their customers and the quality of their product. They serve Peet’s coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and a full Mexican menu. You can’t go wrong with an iced red eye (cold brew with a shot of espresso), breakfast sandwich, or one of the cookies! If you’re from out of town, I highly recommend the Vermont Special and the maple yogurt they carry. It’s hard to find cafes with good coffee/food, friendly staff, and a good work environment—Nostalgia cafe has it all! You won’t regret a quick stop to fuel up or a longer stay to get some work/studying done.

Being from Jersey, drove out of our way on the way home from northeast VT for the great chicken salad sandwich served by the previous owner two years ago. Didn't know it was now a Mexican Cafe. Had to change my mental gears, so to speak. Ordered a breakfast burrito & chai tea. Very good. Staff was friendly & accommodating.

Terrific lunch place! Quirky, cosy decor. The friendly staff reminded us of Mystic Pizza. We had the BLT flatbread and a Tostada Grande with beef, and they were delicious. In fact, we had enough left over for another meal! A real gem.

The loveliest cafe right near the Quechee Gorge Bridge - the perfect place to stop for a delicous warm drink after taking in the splendour of the Gorge. The owners were incredibly warm and hospitable. They know how to make a proper espresso and the food was excellent. Make sure you try Mike's famous chili!! The cafe is also right near the Village Antique Center where you can buy gorgeous local crafts

My sister, niece & I had lunch here over the weekend. We were greeted with smiles & laughter. Such a fun, easy going place. We each had the breakfast burrito & coffee. Delicious & we will most definitely be back!
