Crema's Take

Skip the pastries here and go straight for the mac and cheese—it's genuinely exceptional and the real reason locals line up at this Brattleboro institution. The deli excels at substantial, comforting food done right, though expect crowds and some inconsistency with their baked goods. If you want a quick, quiet coffee experience, look elsewhere, but if you're hungry for legitimately good casual food in a buzzing community spot, it's worth the wait.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu.
