We all know that Vermont dishes out some of the best comfort food in the world, and brunch in the Green Mountain State is no exception. In the mood for eggs in the afternoon? Go for it. A taco instead of oatmeal? No problem. Want to have it all available in the same place – we’ve got you covered! Here are some of the spots that serve the best brunch in Vermont that have us coming back again and again. Bon appetite!

1. Papa Pete's - 1104 Woodford Rd, Bennington
Yelp/Ian W.
Yelp/Jeff K
Pancakes are where it's at here at Papa Pete's. Just look at the size! They're also some of the best you'll ever taste. Whether you opt for breakfast or lunch, you won't be sorry because everything is scrumptious.
2. Up For Breakfast - 4935 Main St, Manchester
Yelp/Morgan D.
Yelp/Ling L.
This is the place to go for a farm to table brunch in Manchester. Thick cut local bacon, fresh variety of coffee and tea choices, gluten free options, homemade jams, real maple syrup, hollandaise sauce from scratch, house made scones, muffins etc. Not to mention huge potions! Need we say more? Check them out on Facebook!
3. Duo - 136 Main St, Brattleboro
Yelp/Lynn J
Tripadvisor/Dean J
The Ricota gnudi with pistachio relish (pictured) shows the unique and interesting flavor combinations you'll find at Duo. Weekend brunch here is popular and delicious. An excellent drink menu, too! Keep up with Duo on Facebook.
4. Vermont Apple Pie - 265 Depot St, Proctorsville
Yelp/Jonathon H
Yelp/Tiffany B
The gourmet omelets are not only delicious, but beautiful too, spilling over with the most vibrantly colored zucchini, spinach, chopped tomatoes and hot melted cheese. Just about everything here is created from the freshest ingredients expertly prepared with love & care. To learn more about Vermont Apple Pie, check out their Facebook Page.
5. Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice - 45 Rt 4 E, Mendon
Yelp/Carol P
Yelp/Peter M
This rustic joint is well worth going out your way. Everything is good, the service is friendly and the rustic decor is charming. Not only do they make their own maple syrup here, they charge extra if you want the fake stuff. After all, imitation syrup is an insult to our delicious liquid gold!
6. Perry’s Main Street Eatery - 16 Main St, Poultney
Yelp/Luke S.
Tripadvisor/naturegirlcitygirl
You'll love this warm and welcoming place with a robust but simple, down home menu. Classic meals and friendly service no matter if you come for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or our favorite, brunch!
7. Penny Cluse Cafe - 169 Cherry St, Burlington

Yelp/Jill P
This casual and folksy place, which is one of the best breakfast restaurants in Vermont, has been a local favorite for years and years. Enjoy the local art hanging on the walls and sunlight streaming in the windows while you indulge on gingerbread pancakes or herbed home fries with gravy. While the portions are generous, you'll likely still be a member of the clean plate club here. Stay up to date with everything that's going on with Penny Cluse by checking out their website.
8. Firebird Cafe - 163 Pearl St, Essex Junction
Yelp/Adam R
Yelp/Nic B
Mexican and breakfast foods pair well, and the Firebird knows how to do up a great brunch. Check out the Chorizo Benedict - Amazing! The pork carnitas omelette is also out of this world and the best fish tacos around.
9. Big Picture Theater and Cafe - 48 Carroll Rd, Waitsfield
Yelp/Claire B
Yelp/Kimberly K
How often is your favorite brunch place also your favorite movie theater or place to catch live jazz? This is a must if you're in the Mad River Valley, and be sure to try one of their fresh donuts! Visit their Facebook page to learn more about this amazing place.
10. 3 Squares Cafe - 141 Main St, Vergennes
Yelp/Denise C
Yelp/Richard K
The food here is healthy, fresh and imaginative, and the seasonings and accompaniments are surprisingly exciting. They season their home fries with Cumin and Cayanne - who would've thought of that? From breakfast to burgers, you'll love it here. To see more of this place, visit their Facebook page.
11. Kismet - 52 State St, Montpelier
Yelp/Cindy L
Yelp/Walker M
This is not your typical American breakfast! The dishes range from Western European to Middle Eastern in both style and seasoning.

12. Miss Lyndonville Diner - 686 Broad St, Lyndonville
Yelp/Matthew H
Yelp/Abby C
Often called the best kept secret in the NEK, Miss Lyndonville is a friendly place full of locals and delicious dishes. The breakfast dishes are superb, however if you're more of a lunch lover the triple decker club or the chicken mozzarella pita are excellent.
13. Sneakers Bistro - 28 Main St, Winooski
Yelp/Management
Yelp/Sara S
The eggs Benedict on homemade English muffins with artichoke is truly amazing, as well as the Kahlúa dipped French toast and Belgian waffles. Many consider Sneakers the best brunch in the Burlington area, raving about the cinnamon pecan swirl French toast with fruit compote with freshly made with whip cream. Yum!
