Haymaker Bun Company

Whenever I visit Middlebury from the Queen City (Burlington), I make a point to stop by Haymaker Buns. First, their savory and sweet buns are both creative and tasty. It is fun to watch the bakers make their buns nearby and eating these wonderful treats with coffee. Breakfast and lunch offer some great choices to eat, and always filling. Second, I am a big fan of supporting a woman-owned business and their excellent team. Finally, the atmosphere is cozy and has great views of the Otter Creek which it is located next to.

This is a go to place when stopping in Middlebury.

Great sandwiches for a quick lunch. Fresh ingredients and flavors are spot on. Coffee was good too.

The place is beautiful, simple, bright, with a nice view on the river.

They were very accommodating with our baby stroller, this is a kid friendly place.

This place is perfect. The staff are wonderful, and the atmosphere is always peaceful and pleasant. Every seat has a lovely view of Otter Creek running by outside. The food is fantastic and the buns are to die for.
…it really is my go-to “treat yourself “ happy place in Middlebury, and in the crazy world we live in, I’m so grateful for places like that.

Amazing atmosphere, excellent service and wonderfully tasting food! We highly recommend Haymaker Bun Company and look forward to returning. Be sure to grab some sweets on your way out with some of their great tasting coffee!

Spent 2 days in this adorable town and our final morning decided to have breakfast at Haymaker. Got an assortment of pastries as well as three different kind of drinks. I had an Americano my brother at a drip coffee and my mom had a latte. All we're absolutely delicious. We had an absolutely fantastic experience as the staff for also very helpful with deciding what to eat. We'll definitely be coming back and stocking up on pastries. Can't wait till I can stay around for dinner time. We had this strawberry cinnamon roll style pastry, an almond espresso pastry, a savory herb and cheese pastry as well as their cinnamon sugar donut. Honestly can't say how delicious everything was! If you're driving through here, make sure to stop.

One of the most delicious concepts on buns. We tried all the vegetarian ones and they were great. The owner was baking herself! A must try. Home made, hand made, local, and simply delicious.

Delicious!!! My go-to breakfast and lunch spot in the area! Savory buns are out of this world- I love their fresh and seasonal options for sweeter style buns- and their lunch is simple and tasty! Enjoying their food on a nice day on the river is such a delight.I even buy their frozen buns to bring to my family in CT AND ordered the big bun cake for a birthday and it was the hit of the party! Customer service is always stellar. Love this place! Highly recommend.

great buns and such a welcoming atmosphere. the buns aren’t cheap at around $4-5 each, but they make up for it with the phenomenal river view.
a gem of a dessert/brunch establishment in middlebury💎

We were excited to try out The Arcadian. The food was great (slightly small portions) but the service left a lot of be desired. We got seated upstairs and maybe it was out of site out of mind but drinks took a solid 20 minutes and appetizers a little longer.

Using focaccia as the table bread was a nice touch. When we asked for a second round of bread (3 pieces) we were told it would be an additional charge which we were willing to pay but it seemed awkward given the setting.

We would go again and hope for better service.

Google said you were closed but we tried and to our delight you were open. Yummy drinks and scrumptious food
