The Works Bakery Cafe
118 Main St, Brattleboro, VT
Crema's Take
“The Works nails the casual bakery cafe formula with hearty sandwiches like turkey bacon avocado on sourdough and surprisingly generous portions (their small mac and cheese is actually massive), making it feel more like a proper lunch spot than a typical coffee shop grab. Service can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit, but weekend crowds seem to bring out the friendlier energy, and the central Brattleboro location makes it an easy stop if you're passing through Vermont. This is the kind of place where regulars linger over pastries and coffee, not where you'd go expecting specialty espresso.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The Works Café is a cute and busy spot. The smoothies were good, but the service was unfriendly. I’ve never seen any of the employees smile or even greet customers. The sandwiches we got were cold and lacked flavor, and the tables were dirty. The coffee was just okay too.…
We have mixed feelings on this place. Several things were great like the size of the cafe and the menu options. However, we had a service issue. When waiting for food and drinks, our names were called when the food was ready but not the drinks. Myself and 2 other customers stood…
Went in on the weekend and they were hopping. Even though they were busy, they took our order quickly and we got our food fast. The wait staff didn't rush us and we're really patient and kind while we figured out what we wanted to eat. The breakfast bagel sandwiches were really…
