Recently moved to Middlebury from Central New York and I am seriously missing my local coffee/breakfast place. Anyone know of a place near Middlebury to get a good sausage egg and cheese on a bagel?

Not near Middlebury - but if you're ever down in Castleton, stop by Robo's Creemee's. They make incredible egg sandwiches. The owners are from NY originally and know what they're doing!

Shiretown just opened (formerly Sama's, Schaeffers) and does bfast sandwiches. Good people too!

Can't speak to the sausage since I always get an egg and cheese, but Route 7 Sandwich Company is great!

I have to say, moving here from NY 15 years back and abandoning the BECSPK on the classic hard roll was difficult for most of my early years. I lived in Rutland initially but nothing could compare. The best I had down in that area came from Sunup Bakery in Killington.
Now I live in Middlebury and Middlebury Bagel is definitely a fantastic option. But - the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in Vermont comes from Capitol Grounds in Montpelier. A very close second is (actually where CG acquires their bread) at the Red Hen Baking in Middlesex.

I’m from Boston and have been super disappointed in the restaurants here. Most places do not know what seasoning is. I miss good food. You will be very disappointed in the quality of most restaurants.

Lol I disagree with statement. There are a ton of amazing restaurants in this state. Maybe you're not going to the right ones.

Boston has a terrible food culture. Even Providence is better.
Vermont is head and shoulders above both.

I mean Boston certainly has plenty of great restaurants but so does Vermont! You may need to look a little harder but there are some incredible spots.

I have had a couple of places in Burlington that were amazing but there is not enough variety. I feel like I’ve tasted the same thing over and over again with just the name of the restaurant being different.

Do you ever get down to Woodstock? I’ve found Cloudland Farm and Sante/Mangalitsa to both be destination worthy.

My husband and I took our kids there a couple of years ago for a spur of the moment drive. We only stopped for gas and drinks. Thank you for the suggestion, we plan on going and trying it out!

I actually laughed out loud at this. I love Vermont but it needs to step up it’s game. It’s all the same, flavorless blobs. Boston/Massachusetts has many different cultures and I grew up trying so many different amazing foods. Vermont is just a lot of people that pretend they know what they are doing in the kitchen.

Hmmm. Interesting take you have.
I’m from the greater NYC area and have lived here for over 15 years. The food is incredible all over the state. Ethnic cuisine is harder to come by, but in some towns there are a plethora of options.
Just to name a few unforgettable restaurants that that come to mind: Hen of the Wood (Waterbury, Burlington), Roots (Rutland), Doc Ponds (Stowe), The Rez or Pro Pig (Waterbury), Three Penny Taproom (Montpelier), The Drake or Twiggs (St. Albans), The Garlic or Preston’s or Choices (Killington, VT). I haven’t traveled through much of southern Vermont but I know there’s some great spots in Manchester and Brattleboro as well.
Idk, just my experience but I’m pretty well traveled and love all food… I just think perhaps you are looking for something else or not looking enough.

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve lived all over the country and I’ve been lucky to try so many local flavors. I just feel disappointed with the places I’ve tried here. But I’m still looking to try more restaurants and you’ve given me a great list.

Ayeee my guy! Middlebury has a bagel place right in downtown, worth a shot.
