Favorite restaurant in Vermont, by far. Â The kitchen and staff produce so much food in a day, it is actually pretty crazy. Â Simple ideas, but done well and with fresh and organic ingredients. Â The fact that people of all backgrounds and occupations eat here on a regular basis says a lot about it. Â Definitely the best French toast in the state, in addition to a pesto and ham scrambled eggs dish that makes me happy every time. Â Sandwiches are wonderful, and come with great side salads. Â If you design your own, make sure to get the roasted red peppers, they go really well with turkey and bean sprouts! Â
Also, house-made garlic mayo. Â Enough said.
This place is awesome - one of the best breakfasts I've ever had - and I am extremely picky when it comes to breakfast. Â We've been here a few times now and it is always delicious. Â We highly recommend the breakfast wrap, breakfast tostada, smoked salmon bagel, orchard apple pancakes!! Enjoy!!
Review Source:This place is cute and the food is lovely - but the three stars is for the service. Never have I encountered a ruder counter attendant. She was not helpful with the menu nor was she polite or friendly - she was just sour. The food is presented nicely and there are a lot of choices on the menu and everything was fresh. They do serve wine and beer which is very nice!
Review Source:We stopped by this cute little place on the way back from a trip in Burlington VT and each one of us was glad we did. We ordered the French Toast, which was to die for. It comes with a light fluffy cinnamon cream, VT maple syrup, slices of bananas folded into the whipped cream. Absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Green eggs and Ham, which even if i tried, I wouldnt be able to recreate in my kitchen. The slight flavoring is not overpowering. I'm not a potato person (the side with it), but the eggs themselves are something you wont find anywhere else. Get here early, within minutes of us finding a seat, the place filled up! Oh yeah, unlimited coffee is a huge plus!!
Review Source:French toast is amazing. It had mascapone, apple, bananas and strawberry on top of challah bread. Â We also had the grilled vegetable sandwich on foccacia and kids chocolate chip pancakes n cheeseburger. I was pretty impressed that for $5 the kids burger was really good. The patty was fresh ground not frozen beef and it came with a stack of fresh lettuce n tomato. This is a must visit.
Review Source:I stopped here for lunch on the drive back to Burlington from Middlebury. It was worth going a little out of the way for. I had one of their lunch specials--a turkey, bacon, and brie sandwich on whole grain bread with cranberry sauce, red onions, and spring greens with lightly dressed spring greens on the side. A little different and very tasty. Atmosphere is rustic storefront. Nothing fancy. Â Staff is friendly.
Review Source:This place is pricey and the menu sounds great but unfortunately doesn't taste as great as you would hope. At my last visit the "grilled" sandwich wasn't grilled at all but was served on lightly toasted bread and was cold by the time it came out (which was 35+ minutes). Disappointing...I want to like this place more but my experience with it has been very uneven.
Review Source:we had both lunch and dinner here during our visit to vergennes. the menu is fantastic and the service as well. great selection, fresh (you have to try the side salad option; their dressing is amazing) and reasonably priced for the quality and service. laid back atmosphere. lunch specials and dinner specials are different. we had an eggplant and tomato soup that was awesome as well as a few sandwiches. good drink selection, too. it's the only fresh/local food option IMO.
Review Source:Nice place, should give four stars, and on some other day I would, so take this as three going on four or opposite. I'm not a "fan", but it is definitely more that OK, for sure!
Good points first: Vergennes has simply no other "feel-good" Cafe. (That can also become a "bad point" eventually, as if you live/work here you don't want to go to the same place all the time, and there is really nothing comparable unless you drive out of town. So it becomes some sort of school cafeteria if you work closely.)
Food here is really very good and not unbearably expensive. I never had anything that did not taste good. French Toast is, indeed, excellent and possibly really the best in VT, as some other people already mentioned. Also great would be their apple pie, although sometimes it is super sweet, so order a coffee with it.
The dishes are good, the crowd is mixed (wow, everyone can come here to eat? Really EVERYONE? Not only the rich, not only the scruffy! Very unusual indeed for this street, and this town!) And you can come here morning til evening for any meal you need. Breakfast is great! Staff is friendly and effective.
Decor is comfortable, various seating options depending on your needs, also some outdoor tables to watch the NY delivery trucks racing by. (Don't expect them to go 35mph, they won't do that, so if you are walking to 3SQU Cafe and cross the road, take real good care that they won't run you over, but that might lead to another topic, - hey, can we also YELP review Vergennes police somewhere? Oh well, back to the Cafe!)
Don't miss out admiring the huge, impressive print vintage poster (FAKIR) on the wall to the bathrooms.
Bad points are majorly two: 1; somehow they have crap ventilation. At peak times it can be hard to actually breathe (!) and your clothes will smell like you've been frying food for hours. At some point they renovated and I was hoping they'd get to that, but they didn't, so far.
2; around noon it will be packed with Goodrich people from the nearby company, probably not much seating space then, and they can get a bit territorial. But this, too, shall pass and a bit later there will be space to sit down and enjoy.
Oh, one more really important good point: the chef makes an excellent green colored spicy chili sauce with coriander possibly, is it? Ask for that, it is really delicious on homefries etc!
Nice place. Good to go to. Glad it's there.
Matt's getting into preparing special dinners.  We had a party of eight for Valentines Day dinner.  Three courses, each with five choices, for $30.00. Our apps included beet and goat cheese salad, roasted oysters and steak tartar, entrees were grilled salmon, chicken with garlic jus and steak with fois gras Demi glacé.  Desserts were delicious.  These are advertised on their website and Facebook.  Well worth trying.
Review Source:This place has the best French Toast in Vermont. The only place I have had better is Zaftigs in Boston. I've been here several times for breakfast and sadly can not review anything other than the French Toast. It is so good I get it every time.
One time I had lunch, a hamburger. It was equally fantastic.
Quaint little cafe right on Main St. Â We were passing through just in time for breakfast and decided to give it a try. Being a Wednesday, there was no wait (yay!).
Very friendly girl taking the order and ringing us up. Minor quibble (but not nearly enough to knock off a star) was the fairly limited menu. Interesting choices, but everything was fairly substantial, nothing much on the small side. I thought I was safe with an egg panini (provolone and spinach add-ins included), but HOLY COW! This was one substantial sammie! I ate it of course, couldn't let that yumminess go to waste, but wowza it was a generous portion! Hubby got the granola pancakes with strawberries. Bonus points for having only real maple syrup and not charging extra. (Pet peeve of mine, esp in Vermont). Home fries were meh...tasted bland.
Coffee was local and very good. I chatted a bit with one of the guys in the kitchen and he was in the process of making bread pudding with strawberries and I think white chocolate for the next day. mmmmm...sorry I was back on the road to RI!
Nice, quirky place, friendly folks, more than fair prices considering the quantity and quality, just make some smaller options soon, hmm?
I had brunch at this place once and cannot wait to go back. I would frequent this homey cafe if I lived closer to Vergennes. I had eggs benedict and coffee and the price was great, even a little lower considering how much they gave me.This wasn't your typical meal cooked on a greasy, over-used griddle in a run-down, old-town diner. It was one of those meals that made you feel like you were on a farm that your family has owned for 4 generations and that it was home-cooked and made just the way you like it. The interior of the cafe is also likened to that of a farm house with Vermont farm tables and benches. The air isn't stale but smells like bread baking in the oven and fresh coffee. The staff is down-to-earth and makes you feel more like you're guests at their own house rather than customers they've never met before. All in all, this is a great place to simply chill out with friends on a Sunday afternoon and gorge yourself with good food.
Review Source:Vegan-friendly, tasty food. I love sandwiches and salads, and this place does them right. Fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice and orange juice was an added treat.
However, 3 Squares is not air conditioned. Â I felt faint sitting in the hot, loud restaurant. (It was far too hot for us to sit outside.) We'll return on a cooler day and sit outside, or on a cold day eat indoors on off hours.
Matt has created a resturnat that is both yummy and you feel good eating out because so much comes from local farms! Â The paninis are fantastic and I love that they come with a little side salad. Â They also are great for breakfast but expect a little wait on the weekends. Â The specials are always creative but my favorite is a turkey bacon with garlic mayo - you just can't go wrong! Â It is a friendly place that I would recommend anytime! Â If you really want a treat make sure to try the home made creme brule!
Review Source:Debated continuing to Burlington for lunch, but Yelpers convinced me to try this Vergennes spot. Glad I did. Â Great atmosphere (as someone else Yelped, like a ski-town spot, without the mountain), very friendly staff and good eats. Â Judging from plates passing by and comments from the locals, it's dependably good. Â Mine (marlin special w/ salsa) was everything I could have hoped for at a more upscale and $$$ place in a city. You won't be disappointed - unless you prefer a pretentious place to eat.
Review Source:Really enjoyed stopping in here for lunch today. Nice location right in the heart of town and the food was everything I was looking for on a day trip through Vermont. My sandwich was really good (Chicken cobb themed) and the espresso was generously sized for any caffeine junkie. Highly recommended!
Review Source:This restaurant is located across from the town square in Vergennes. Their menu focuses on breakfast and sandwiches with limited other options. They have focused on being "natural" to the extent that they used to not have artificially sweetened soft drinks but fortunately they have loosened up a bit.
While I am not a major fan of sandwiches in the first place, the sandwiches here were somewhat creative and at least used a lot of fresh ingredients. The highlight of the breakfast items I tried was a pancake that literally had granola and fruit cooked into the top and it was this pretty good item alone that moved this places rating from 2 to 3 stars.
If you are satisfied with sandwiches or slightly natural breakfast items, this place may be for you, safe and somewhat trendy in a quaint small town setting.
Stopped here on my way through Vergennes for lunch. Â What a great place! So many healthy and tasty options on the menu. Â I had a greek sandwich with olive tapenade, spinach, tomatoes, and feta on a pita, and it was really good. My husband's homemade corned beef hash was great too, very unique. Â Wish I lived closer so I could go more often!
Review Source:This is a sandwich shop. A very very good sandwich shop. They make a pretty good breakfast too. There is nothing specifically labeled as organic on the menu, but many of the ingredients they use are organic and/or local. The food tastes great and most entrees come with a simple salad. In summer the outside seating is a pleasant spot to enjoy your meal.
Review Source:I'm a fan! 3 Squares is a little VT gem.
I had their turkey and swiss sandwich, with smoked bacon and garlic mayo. Delish. And it was huge and reasonably priced.
The service was friendly and fast, and the cafe itself is charming and gets a lot of sunlight-- a great place to drop in for a tasty bite to eat.
It may have been the hike up Snake Mountain (and back down, obviously!), or it may have been the appetite-inducing Vermont spring weather, but "this is a keeper"!
The place is a vague cross between homey and trendy, with cozy mismatched dining furniture yet with a avant-garde looking menu.
Fares sampled were blackened shrimps w/ sausage & peppers with corn grits, roasted eggplant and goat cheese panino, a roast beef sandwich with bacon called "The Sarge", the daily special that was 90% like "The Sarge" except it had grilled onions instead of bacon, and spinach salad with candied walnuts and cranberries and goat cheese. Â Everything was tasty and executed well.
