Incredible spot!
I have not frequented this bakery a lot, despite living in Bristol and being especially fond of bakeries, due to the limited hours and exorbitant prices. Jones The Boy Bake Shop (which also has limited hours) is generally both very good, and much more reasonable price wise. I stop in to Minifactory now and then because they carry the absolute best bread (Downhill Bread) to be had in Vermont. However, today I ate a four dollar "Jammy donut" that was the best donut I have ever had. I ate it in the car for breakfast, experienced donut ecstacy, and went back in for another one. I have had other expensive, but delicious, items here (there were, at one point, some small, but wonderful linzer type cookies with some sort of plum jam), though nothing quite that good. It almost pains me to say it, but some culinary quality is worth the price and the effort that may keep it out of the hands of those Vermonters with lower incomes. That donut was really just THAT good.
Their brunch menu is very tasty and creative. More contemporary rendering of breakfast items. Their baked good are fresh and also very delicious. The ambiance and interior style is gorgeous. LGBTQI+ supportive.
Everything that comes out of the Mini Factory kitchen is exceptional! And I love the atmosphere. A small menu but easily some of the best food in the state of Vermont! You can tell everything is made with deep care and expertise. Great little market, too.
Divinely delicious and beautiful baked goods and lunch fare. Lovely ambience and friendly service too.
I can't believe anyone would rate this restaurant as anything but a 5+. I've eaten here three times and each time has been truly sensational. The food is locally sourced and beautifully prepared. Every soup, salad, biscuit, sandwich, pastry and herbal tea I've tried has been outstanding. I also love that the owner has tried so hard to be ecologically responsible, using cloth napkins, avoiding plastic, and working to use organic and fair trade sourcing of products. The cinnamon buns are to die for. But if you want to watch your waistline, try one of their scrumptious salads or soups. This place is simply not to be missed. And might I add, I am a customer but not a friend or family member. I rarely rave like this, but this one is a winner. Go now!
Delicious high quality coffee and a waffle that I can't stop thinking about.. Made with some sort of hearty grains, topped with a cherry fresh whipped cream, pistachios and VT maple- pretty bonkers. The buttermilk biscuit with their preserves was quite a treat as well. Bright, modern atmosphere.. great local goods for sale. Looking forward to enjoying more menu items.
Amazing biscuits and scones. Super good breakfast sandwich. Nice bright space.
Come here if I need a pastry if nothing else is open, not into their coffee choice so I head elsewhere for that. Somewhat pricey for everyday pop-ins.
The mindfulness and efficiency of service is unreliable, but the products are so high-quality that I keep coming back.
They rarely are open during their posted hours.
A great addition to Bristol and have some gluten free selections.
A friend who lives in Bristol recommended this for breakfast while we were visiting the area. We were a little disappointed that they didn’t have a hot breakfast available the day that we went, but apparently it fluctuates from day today. We were not disappointed by the sandwiches, cheese and crackers and dips and things we purchased from the cold case. We also enjoyed coffee and golden milks and some baked goods. There were four of us and we spent a little over $100. It was pricey but everything was delicious!
Great ambience...with European vibes! They have awesome coffee and cakes.
Nah rude fam
Beautiful and delicious, an an awesome espresso. The biscuit was perfect and everything on the tables near us looked great, wish we lived nearby and could come every day to taste everything
Feels like Brooklyn has come to Bristol. They are providing a product that I don't think anyone in Bristol asked for. I just want a regular breakfast sandwich. Without jam. I also want to know what I am ordering without having to ask what thibgs are. Using fancy names for things doesn't impress me. It makes me want to go somewhere else. The biscuits are fantastic on their own, but way too rich for a breakfast sandwich. The prices are not put of line for what they are delivering (high price, high quality), it just isnt what I want.
Relaxing restaurant, great place for coffee and something sweet expensive tho. It's. A nice treat.
We wandered in for the dinner pop up and were so happy we did! Our drinks were delicious and the food was creative, seasonal, and so yummy. What a great spot!
This place is a serious gem and I have absolutely loved everything I have had the pleasure of eating. V is a wizard with flavor, and keeps us coming back for more.
