von Trapp Kaffeehaus

Great little coffee house with wonderful pastries and free coffee and tea for lodge guests until 10.30am. As everywhere here on Von Trapp Family Lodge property, the staff is amazingly friendly, helpful and kind! Lots of great sweets and breakfast sandwiches along with coffee, tea, beer and wine.

We stopped here to get a quick bite while visiting Stowe. The restaurant had a great selection of pastries, coffee and sandwiches to help entergize us after a busy morning. As an added bonus the highland cows are grazing in the pasture and you can see them from the patio of the restaurant.

Made a last minute detour to go here and it turned out to be a great decision. Super friendly staff, incredible atmosphere, and baked goods made on sight. Perfect. I would have bought one of everything because it looked that amazing. Limited the purchase to the Cow Cake, a Vanilla Pudding with Maple Crumble, and the Lemon Maple Cupcake. Literally fantastic. As a side note, the iced coffee was brilliant. Well done von Trapp. Next time we will stay a few nights.

Go for the view, skip the food, coffee and bad customer service. Cute shop, when I asked what was in the quiche, the response I got from the worker was some kind meat. I opted for the veggies quiche instead of some kind of mystery meat. He handed it to me cold and I asked to heat it. They tossed it in a microwave briefly but the center was still cold. Coffee was luke warm self seve out of pots. The pastries are very pretty to look at but the one we had lacked flavor. The dining area is really dark and not well lit, but the bar area is near windows and bright. The best part and only reason to go is for the view and fluffy cows outback. When we saw the sound of music album we tried to ask about the name and the coffee guy just starred at us with no response. We assumed he didn't speak English until we left and we heard him talking.

The coffee house provided a remarkable experience with a vast array of food options to choose from. The apple strudel was particularly noteworthy and the staff was very accommodating, allowing us to bring our small dog inside due to the cold and snowy weather outside. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the tea and coffee selection was impressive. The pastries were exceptional and I highly recommend trying the rice crispy Maple syrup. There are also many organic and natural options available. I have personally visited this coffee house many times over the years and would absolutely recommend it to others.
