The Porch Cafe & Catering
648 Putney Rd, Brattleboro, VT
Crema's Take
“The Porch's real magic is Gretchen's gift for hospitality—families arrive hangry and leave charmed, couples book her for weddings, and regulars keep coming back for house-made rolls and creative sandwiches that prove a small-town café doesn't have to play it safe. The coffee is solid and traditional, but it's the full breakfast menu, generous portions, and genuinely gracious service that make this worth the detour. Eat outside among the garden plants and flowers if the weather cooperates.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
