By admin • Feb 25th, 2007 • Category: Restaurants

After a long week we decided to give Chauncey’s Family Dining a shot. It has come highly recommended by some friends with excellent taste, but they typically pick up breakfast.

The Depot 62 Cafe is located in Manchester, VT at the intersection of Richville Road and Route 11/30 and provides international cuisine and some of the best pizza in town.

The Spiral Press Cafe

By admin • Jan 27th, 2007 • Category: Restaurants

South west Vermont has no need of a Starbucks with the Spiral Press in Manchester. Located within the Northshire Bookstore, the Spiral Press merges local food and top coffee drinks with a spacious seating area that is an ideal place to relax.

At the front counter is an ever-changing spread of cookies, brownies, and cakes. Of course you can […]
