Stone Arch Bakery and Cafe

Favorable alternative to the zillion breakfast chains in this area. What they lack in ambiance, they compensate for in beverage, soup, sandwich, pastry, and bread varieties.
Not a destination in itself, but definitely worth the stop off the highway to grab grub on your travels in the Lebanon area.

Locally owned, family ran and very slow at making breakfast sandwiches.
Once every 6 – 8 weeks, I get the itch for a Stone Arch breakfast bagel. To be more clear, I actually just didn’t feel like making breakfast and it’s Sunday and I just wanna be lazy and have something made for me.
You are offered a few options and you can customize most of their menu items. They also have these delicious cinnamon loafs also cooked on-​site that are good to take home with you for buttering up the next day. but I’m getting off-​topic
You order, wait about 10 minutes even though no one ordered before you and then you pay and leave. They have some bottled drinks or those pumps where you can pour your own coffee and I believe it’s unlimited refills but someone should correct me.
Their espresso machine is perpetually «out of service» for the past 3 years and their bread is really good. I wish they had more smoked /​cured fish options other than salmon but despite the long-​wait, they’re good and I’d go there for Sundays only but if you’re at risk for being late for work, don’t bother.

Tasty sandwiches, friendly staff (just strike up a conversation, they’re fun to talk with). Hidden gem in Lebanon, NH. It’s very close to the highway exit, so feel free to stop on your road trip. The fare is tasty, no-​nonsense sandwiches (breakfast and lunch) served alone (no piles of sides you won’t eat). They have homemade soups and chowders, salads, quiches and their breads and sweets are all baked in house. So, take a break to get a bite. Your tummy will thank you.

Hidden gem in the small town of Lebanon! Enjoyed my breakfast on a few Saturdays with live music here! :)

Phenomenal bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Pastries are great too. Drip coffee is way better than Dunkin or Starbucks, but don’t come looking for espresso drinks. Super friendly service that keeps me coming back when I am in town for work.
Have only been in for lunch a couple times and it has been solid as well. This place just feels like home.

My girlfriend and I stopped by this location on our way up to VT. We wanted a vegetarian friendly sandwich place. This place was ideal. Very cordial staff and delicious soup, veggie hummus wraps. «I’ll be back.» [Stated in Ahnold Schwarzenegger tone of voice].

Great bagels, only place around for ‘real’ bagels other than price choppers which are good too

Just your standard white four, white sugar bakery-​café. Food’s just tolerable. One thing that they could do right away that would be a GREAT IMPROVEMENT: get rid of that disgusting, ugly, outdoor dirty garbage bin they have right in the middle of the store for recycling, and replace it with a receptacle meant for indoor use.

I was here after it first opened and it was a little rough… I recently started going there again and it’s really found it’s place in Lebanon.
They have a great menue with all homemade bread (which makes the place smell so yummy!). Their bakery case is mouthwatering, same with their quiches! I was there at about 1015 in the morning and was happy to see them so busy as I always root for locally owned. Their prices are great. Customer service is awesome, too.
I’d love to see them offer paninis as well as more original stuff. They have a lot of competition but are one of the best places to get lunch in Lebanon.

The smell of baking bread wraps gently around you as you enter, fully awakening any sense of latent hunger.
The menu includes sandwiches, soups, quiche and full-​on breakfast. There is an array of breads, doughnuts, bagels, and pastries, and an espresso machine.
I stopped in to grab a quick weekday lunch and ordered the tomato+pesto quiche and a latte. Both were okay. It’s a bakery after all, so I’d expect anything outside of baked goods to be sidebar.
They open at 6 am, and I plan to return to check out breakfast and pick up a loaf of bread and whatever pastry catches my fancy.
Access for travelers is easy, as the location is literally a fast left and a fast left again off the I-​89 /​120 (south) exit. Closing time is 4 pm weekdays and 2 pm weekends.
Oh, and the people: Very nice. Thus far (2 ½ weeks in), that attribute is a wonderful constant in the area.
