Wonderful breakfast. Nice cozy place. Friendly service. Crab cake Benedict and Banana Coconut French Toast were amazing! Kids loved the chocolate milk too.

Bacon, good. Eggs, good. People, good. Elbow room, not so good. Wait time, not so good(it’s small). Cash only, not so good, but I get it. Of all the breakfast places in the Manchester area, this is «the» place to go. Expect a crowd and a wait, but it is worth it. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and poor access to the bathrooms because the line usually forms inside around the doors.

Great food, ornery help. If you can deal with the sub-par help, you will enjoy the food.

great spot for breakfast in a cute little town. the duck sausages were AMAZING. however the sour dough blueberry pancakes were not. apparetnly people love them, but they had a very strange flavor so we didnt eat them. instead we ate the regular pancakes which were so fluffy and incredible, and the hungry man breakfast which had a little bit of everything. overall, and very filling and satisfying breakfast!

Amazing breakfast! Everything on the menu is very fresh and served with a smile. The restaurant is small so you will almost definitely have a wait, but it is well worth it. The hungry hiker and the turkey hash were both excellent.

Breakfast perfection! Words can hardly convey how very delicious everything is. Buckwheat packages were rich, fluffy and so nutty w fresh blueberries. The Cinnamon roll French toast is just plain ridiculous! It’s decadent, buttery, w lots of cinnamon all warm with sautéed bananas and apples. I’m still dreaming about it. all of the«hashes» are excellent too w peppers, onions, fresh thyme & spices. I had the wild turkey hash and our group of 6 each tried the prime rib hash special hash & Cali style. The Norwegian salmon eggs Benedict was spectacular with the mustard seed hollandaise. And, wait for it, they serve Pork roll(it’s a Jersey thing) egg & cheese breakfast sandwich! Extensive menu, take your time so you don’t miss out and they offer a ½ dozen specials & specialty breakfast sausages like Elk. Thick cut local bacon. Fresh variety of Coffee and tea choices. Some gluten free options too. Homemade jams. Local real Maple syrup. Scratch hollandaise sauce. House made scones, muffins etc. Huge potions! Friendly service but be patient as good things come to those who wait! Tiny interior. Be prepared to get on a long waiting list of hungry diners.

This place has a reputation. It’s well deserved. We ate here twice during a couple of days of hiking in Vermont. We were there in the off-season, so had no issues waiting in line. We were seated immediately, got our coffee(which was kept full) while we perused the menu. The first time we had a Metropolitan Omelet(smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, scallions & fresh dill) and a Cajun Frittata. The Metropolitan was transcendent. That’s really all I can say. We found the Cajun Frittata — eggs with andouille sausage and tomatoes piled on top covered with cheese — too heavy and less appealing The second time we ordered more strategically, getting a short stack of blueberry pancakes, some eggs over easy with wild boar sausage and splitting the dishes. All of this was really well done. The menu is long and extremely tempting. I’d like to work my way through it.

3 words: pheasant cognac sausage. Another 3: oh. My. God. Another 3: coming back tomorrow.

Get here early since line gets longer and hostess gets shorter! Lively, smallish place for a good breakfast in Manchester. Blueberry Pancakes — the famous pancakes. Order is huge and fluffy. Worth the money. French Toast– very tasty but typical toast. I would still order again. Turkey Hash– YUM. A little adventurous but really tasty. Cash Only.

This is an outstanding place for breakfast. It would be outstanding no matter where it was located. It is a quirky, charming, relatively small second-floor space located at the top of a flight of steep stairs. You will likely wait a while to be seated on a summer weekend, but the really pleasant and friendly servers will offer you a coffee while you wait. Even iced coffee in the summer. That does not happen in most places, and was very much appreciated. We sat at the counter and were served by a peasant, friendly woman. We ordered the Scandinavian, which is eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and blueberry sourdough pancakes(!!!). We got sides of bacon and venison sausage with blueberries. Everything was delicious, but those pancakes were a revelation. So light, and so tangy. Beautiful with real Vermont maple syrup. We thought it was the best breakfast we had had anywhere in recent memory. It is not inexpensive($ 37 for all that, plus two more iced coffees, before tip), but so, so worth it. GO!!!(P.S. It is cash only).

If a place has«breakfast» in the name, then it’s likely they don’t mess with other meal times, and their focus on starting your day is clear. The folks at Up for Breakfast can probably write the restaurant manual on How to be an Outstanding Breakfast Joint. Day one: we’re a bit late(nine-ish?) in terms of the crowd. After a short wait(enjoying the crazy steampunk antiques shop window downstairs), we were seated at the counter. This is the BEST seat in the house– because you can interact with the wait staff and the cooks. Oh, and if you really felt like it, you could refill your own coffee. No need, the wait staff are on top of things– hustling, but friendly and cheerful. I order the wild turkey hash, wife orders the Morning Glory pancakes. About the hash… whoa. I flinched a bit about the idea of turkey, but the«bits»(taters, onions, red(not green!) peppers) plus an incredibly peppery bite… yeah. Oh, yeah. Interestingly, around here(Manchester, anyway) they want to give you hollandaise with your hash. Screw it, longevity is not a prime concern of mine — fire away. The hollandaise is actually thinned out quite a bit into a fantastic gravy. Oh, and a side of blueberry venison sausage, because I can. The Morning Glory pancakes are as advertised: pancakes that taste like a morning glory muffin. This works, believe it or not. I want the recipe! Day two: we’re early arrivals –around 8 I guess. This is the way to go. No line queued up, plenty of open tables. We both order bennies and are happy. Yay, more hollandaise. Listen to my arteries hardening, crackling like ice breaking up on the Great Lakes. The only issue I have is that the chef really likes his eggs over hard– so maybe spell it out for them if you feel differently.

Had to try this place with the great reviews that it has. Started off right with the offer of coffee while we waited for a table. We sat on benches outside on a beautiful morning. Once seated our friendly and knowledgable waitress Lydia offered suggestions that were spot on. The eggs Benedict were delicious. My only complaint was that the yolks were a bit overdone. My husband ordered one of the daily specials of crab cake andouille hash with poached eggs. Again the yolks were a bit overdone. We shared a short stack of pancakes based on their reputation on here and we were not disappointed. This is a little over an hour from where we live and we will be back.

Truly excellent experience. The restaurant staff was awesome. They greeted us warmly and gave us coffee while we waited for a table. Our server Lydia was fun, knowledgable and excited about the food. All of her suggestions proved spot-on and helpful. I chose the Crab Andouille Hash. This was one of the most creative and well executed breakfasts I’ve ever had. Tons of crab, seasoned with tangy andouille and a bit of potato, topped with a poached egg and fresh hollandaise. The hash was very crispy which made an awesome textural contrast to the egg and sauce. I couldn’t get enough of it. The flavor was very unique and memorable. My husband had a traditional Benedict which he likedvery much. It looked great. And we shared a short stack of flavorful buttermilk pancakes. The oodles of melting butter and hot maple syrup were excellent touches. I think it’s hard to find restaurants with creative breakfast menus. My dish was a daily special, but there are dozens of dishes on the regular menu I want to try. We’ll find plenty of reasons to drive through/to Manchester so we can try them all!

Great place to come after some hiking on Equinox. It gets crowded and busy but there’s plenty to do in the area while you wait after putting your name down. Cash or check only. If you use one of the major banks like Chase or BOA you’re out of luck with ATMs around here. Hit up Rite Aid and use Cash Back on a small purchase or something like that. The food here is pretty great and portions are big. Between our party we had the Wild Turkey Hash, Hungry Hiker, Red Flannel Omelet, Bistro Omelet, Corned beef hash, and the duck sausage. Everything was so good and everyone was stuffed. Worth the wait, without a doubt.

Waited 35 mins late morning and was thinking this place can’t be That good and worth the wait… but oh it was! 2nd floor walk up breakfast bodega of the Gods with farm fresh to the table eggs, bacon sausage and veggies. Plus Vermont cheeses and maple syrup. Homemade scones, oatmeal, pancakes, hash and more. Fluffy pancakes & Belgium waffles check, daily specials check, fluffy omelette check! Friendly service you got that too. I had the special breakfast sandwich with avocado andouille sausage patty with melted farmers cheese on a toasted croissant, fresh pink grapefruit slices on the side, OMG! My friend had poached eggs smothered in hollandaise sauce over wild turkey hash. Best breakfast in a long time, and the fresh baked handmade scones looked delicious also. Can’t wait to go back.
