“ We eat here EVERYTIME we are in Manchester. Staff is always very friendly! Food is consistently good. They can move a lot of people through quickly, without feeling rushed. Wish they had more choices for cookies/ brownies along with their muffins. ”
“ One I thing I love about Yelp is it leads me places like this . Went for breakfast before skiing. Defining a true VT breakfast ! Amazing blueberry pancakes with crispy bacon . The waitress was super friendly start to finish! I asked if the maple syrup was fresh and she laughed "of course it is " . In the middle of eating she asked how everything is and I from was amazing ! She said "I know I just like to hear it ". Going forward I will not miss this spot when in town ! ”
“ The entire town of Manchester is a dream. Up For Breakfast needs to be everyone's number one stop when you visit. Some things to know: 1) very small which means seating is limited and they do not take reservations 2) it is located on the second floor and is not handicapped accessible 3) cash only - ATMs are located across the street. For the experience, we always have a great time here. The people are nice and the food is tasty. I usually get the Hungry Hiker (which you can't go wrong ordering here) but went with one of their specials this time. If you are lucky to see the Banana Bacon pancakes on the menu, go for it! The maple late is also a staple here. I get it iced and it's the right level of sweet. The inside is very cozy, not great for big parties (4+) or hyper children. The servers will definitely accommodate you and but the vibe is more for an intimate low-key breakfast. ”
“ Super quant cute place. They were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy allergy!! I had the best omelet of my life-- a veggie egg white omelet with gluten free bread and fruit on the side. It came with orange juice as well. Great value!! The wait was almost an hour so definitely go early to put your name in. But it's worth it! ”
“ It does not change. Still the finest breakfast fare extant, with servers of uniform good will and intelligence. Yes, it's worth the inevitable lines. Go!!! ”
“ Great breakfast place. All the other 5-star reviews were spot-on. Server had a great upbeat personality and did not miss one detail. Okay, it's Cash Only but just be prepared. You'll be glad you stopped in. Be forewarned, it's a popular place in season! ”
“ We were traveling through the area & found this amazing little breakfast place in beautiful Manchester, VT. As we looked at menu a local couple said, " Go in, they're great!" The server, Jasmine was super sweet & informative. Great coffee- what a treat as I am not a fan of Dunkin coffee. THE best corned beef hash I have had in over 20 years! I made sure to compliment the cook! I have 2 cousins who attended the CIA ( Culinary Institute) in NY. Both ran breakfast places & made great CB Hash, this place rivaled them! My husband's breakfast sandwich with Vermont cheddar tasted like it was made with Easter Ham- so fresh & tasty! The place filled up quick! We're so glad we got there early! Don't miss this little gem! ”
“ When I asked my friend for restaurant recommendations near Manchester, Up for Breakfast was number one on the list. It was amazing! As a visitor, I had no idea the restaurant was really "Up" on the second floor. I actually missed it the first time I drove by. Luckily I saw the sign when I drove around again, and found street parking. I was not told that it was cash only, but the owner pointed me to the ATM across the street. Found out the owners were originally from NJ just like me. Very friendly people. Jesse was very nice in recommending me to the dish I ordered...Bistro Omelet. It was heavenly. The coffee was also excellent. As I was eating, the cook came out to use the restroom. She asked me if I like the omelet...I took her yes! She was very nice also. So, come here for breakfast! Bring cash! Come early! I was the only one there at 8am, but by the time I left, there were already many more people. ”
“ Outstanding! Had the Irish scramble. It's was one of the daily specials. Everything was cooked perfectly, spiced perfectly and tasted amazing. Special shout out to the corn beef hash! So good! The grilled scone is at legendary status. We split an order of sour dough french toast. Absolutely worth it. There will be fresh jam on the table. ”
“ Have eaten here many times, its always very good. Small dining room, they only take cash. Service is very good, very pricey, but its Manchester. ”
