Delightfully Delicious Bakery & Cafe

This place is pretty average for prices and food. I have had both good and poor experiences here. The food is normally pretty good but sometimes the portions aren’t what they could be and sometimes the service isn’t the best. There isn’t much for home cooked type food in Brattleboro anymore so if that’s what you are looking for give them a shot.

Meh-​ish!!! The sign out front says Brattleboro’s best kept secret and after eating there yesterday it makes perfect sense. It’s been open for 3 years and I gad never heard of it. They tout themselves as a Bakery Café and yet they serve food on cruddy, preserved store-​bought rolls. Telling you their «Kobe» burger is made from Kobe beef is like peeing on your head and telling you it’s rain. The Asiago Roast Beef Sandwich, which was recommended, was completely unremarkable. The few baked goods sitting on the counter looked like they had been there for weeks. The place looked dingy and worn. The server wiped our table after we sat down and was outside cranking butts while we waited to pay. At least we didn’t get sick-​I hope. Don’t waste your time/​money!!!

Charming spot — great for kids, friendly staff, good hearty food.

Thought that the café had baked goods and coffee but they also serve full breakfasts at a very reasonable price. Service was so very fast and the food was good.

Good little restaurant for breakfast. Service is good, wait staff were very attentive. Pancakes are really good as is the toast. Omelets were just ok (a bit dry, could have used some more cheese maybe). I would go back.

Very fast, very pleasant service. Lots of great menu options, all well-​priced and «delicious,» indeed!

So after entering, being seated and looking over the menu I spied, Homemade Hash, my favorite! The order arrived promptly, the server was very attentive, but the hash was as canned as only Hormel can do.
The taste gave the secret away, salty, metallic. Closer inspection found the tiny square potatoes that no human hand can produce. If I ever go back I will avoid the hash and anything with Hollandaise. It hardened onto food offerings like a cone dipped at a DQ.

Unfortunately, we decided not to eat here. After waiting in line for 15 min, a couple who arrived after us breezed in and was seated first. No acknowledgement from the host. Who knows why? Whether it was because my wife and I are Black and Latina, or because the couple happened to have a child and merited to be seated immediate, we can’t say. We just know that another establishment will get our business.

I was expecting better than I received. I had the western omelet which sounded great on the menu, but in fact it was a rubbery textured egg omelet filled with raw green peppers, onions and ham, and a sprinkle of cheddar in side. The home fries were nothing to write home about, red bliss, bland seasoning. No flavored coffees here, just coffee regular or decaf. The toast was delicious. Homemade rye bread was a delight. I love that they use Fiestaware, but my plate did not smell clean, it was sticky, and smelled like it had just been rinsed, not washed. I know that smell from having worked in restaurants… dirty dishes, bad dishwasher, whatever… i thought the prices were too high for what I got. Will not go back, its just not that good. Service was slow, but not painfully so. It is not clear that you just come in and sit where you wish, s o I ended up waiting for someone to come out of the kitchen and seat me. When she finally emerged she just said, sit where ever. I should have left and saved myself from a mediocre $ 13 breakfast.

Excellent service, very good food delivered quickly. Very reasonably priced. We will be back.

This morning while driving through Brattleboro this little restaurant caught the corner of my eye and I decided to give it a try. When walking in I was warmly greeted by the waitress who let me know that they do both sit down and take out meals.
I decided to grab some pancakes and a coffee to go. I was surprised at the speed in which they were able to take my order and get me out the door. I don’t believe that I was there for more than 5 minutes.
When I got to the office I was amazed at the size of the pancakes. A stack of three was able to feel me and two coworkers! The coffee was delicious, and for the price I paid, I can’t wait to go back.
This restaurant has a small restaurant area as well as a bakery. All the items they had out looked delicious. They had some decorated cupcakes which looked amazing as well as muffins and pastries which looked phenomenal. As I was waiting for my food at the restaurant I overheard someone talking about how delicious these pastries are.
The final fun fact about this restaurant is that they have an area near the front door that sells unique knitted hats and homemade jam. This restaurant is definitely a family friendly spot where you can get an incredible meal for an incredible deal!

I ate my brunch here on a whim. I was only in town for a short time, and I spotted this place the night before. I had a very basic bacon and eggs breakfast with coffee, but the service was friendly, the coffee was great, the wheat toast was hearty and the bacon and eggs were done right. Next time I’m in Brattleboro, this is where I’ll go!

We had passed by this place many times — nothing to look at but finally gave it a try– glad we did. Really good breakfast menu and served all day. Lunch menu is broad something for any carnivores and vegans. On a cold rainy day the corn chowder was creamy and substantial. The sandwiches are very large on a variety of homemade bread. Pies looked really fine but we were already stuffed. Good solid comfort food. Will return to try eggs Benedict.

Delightfully Delicious has been open since April or so, but I finally stopped in with my mom when she was visiting last week. It doesn’t look like much – don’t go for the ambiance – but then your food comes, and it’s great! Mom’s eggs and bacon were delicious (she talked about the bacon for a while afterwards). My portobello bomber was so good I ordered the asiago/​roast beef to go for my hubby, and we went back the next week and got the exact same order again, plus a good greek salad and a giant slice of tasty, tasty butterscotch pie. The portobello bomber comes with huge potato chips that have to be homemade, and their mixed fries (sweet potato and regular) are thick and delicious. The rest of their baked good look amazing, but I haven’t tried them yet, so I can only report that I plan on trying them all…
It’s not cutesy or artsy or themed or any of the things most Brattleboro restaurants are or try to be. It’s just good, diner-​style food, made well, served hot. It has a more creative menu than most diners, with better vegetarian options (as usual, not a lot happening for the vegans out there). The staff are friendly, service is quick, and it certainly feels and smells like it’s kept clean, which is always something I notice.
The upshot? Not a place for a fancy meal, but a place for a good meal with generous portions and reasonable prices. Worth the drive up Putney Road from downtown.
