The Porch Cafe & Catering

I eat here at least once a week. It's so good! The lifted Aubrey and the Feel the Bern are fantastic. My husband always gets something different and very rarely do we have anything bad. The daily specials are unique and so perfect to match the season. Don't miss the baked goods, either! I wish they were open on weekends more, but I'm so happy they have a business outside of just the restaurant. More people need to know about them!!!!!

Amazing food! Fresh ingredients made with care, friendly staff, and welcoming and clean environment. The owners are there to ensure the best experience.
They have homemade sausage and so many other healthy options.
Stop in if you’re in the area!
Thank you Gretchen & Nate

Food is very good. Prices are decent. “Classic Breakfast” and “Belgium Waffle” are very good. Good service. Food looked very good. “Breakfast Bowl” very cheesy. “Feel The Bern” not very bernie.

The Porch catered our wedding and we could not have been happier with the process, and with the food! Gretchen was very communicative via email while we were discussing our catering needs. Our wedding was in early fall and the menu she drafted up was customized to be very autumnal. We came in to the Porch Cafe (which on a side note, is super cute and has delicious sandwiches), met with Gretchen who was really nice, patient, and answered all of our questions. Everyone LOVED the food (happy hour spread and dinner buffet) which was accommodating to people of all dietary restrictions. We missed our happy hour and when we went to sit down they had created a plate for us. They also made sure we were the first ones to eat, because it's been said the bride and groom sometimes get carried away with hosting they do not have a chance to eat. The food was delicious, intentional, and well presented. We were extremely impressed. We also got to keep the leftovers that were not eaten. Thank you Gretchen, and the rest of the Porch Staff!

Locally sourced deliciousness served fresh M-Th, 7a-3p. Get your breakfast, brunch, and lunch on here. Indoor and outdoor private seating. Cool people, fast Wi-Fi, and a nice vibe to go with your meal and a delicious latte.

Planning a wedding is full of jitters. The porch cafe was one of the catering services we where able to choose from that our venue gave us. Gretchen has been an angel in disguise! She has worked with me tremendously to set up a tasting with myself, Fiance, made of honor and best man. The service we received was outstanding. Not to mention we had the restaurant to ourselves! The best way I could describe the food was mouth watering. Gretchen is not only an amazing, caring and thoughtful person but she is also very skilled in cooking. Planning a wedding for the first time; I have found myself with many questions. She has not hesitated to answer any of them with gratitude. There was not one thing on our wedding menu that was not good. To be honest good is an understatement. I could not recommend her restaurant enough if you want a quick delicious bite to eat or to cater your event! I can not wait to see the final product at our wedding. I’m sure I will not be disappointed.

We hired The Porch to cater our wedding at the Inn at Manchester and it was 100% the RIGHT CHOICE. Many people told us it was the best wedding food that they had ever had. We knew we would have great food, but once the day came, they blew my expectations out of the water. We had a winter wedding and I asked if they could provide hot chocolate and they provided a hot chocolate bar with vegan hot chocolate and various treats to add to your hot chocolate, like peppermint sticks, peeps, whipped cream, marshmallows, etc.! It was a huge hit. They were incredibly attentive to providing an unbelievable amount of variations and options to create an inclusive menu for all dietary preferences and restrictions. We had a buffet and they had cute chalkboards, done by a local artist describing the offerings and every staff member was so communicative and helpful. They helped replenish our desserts and provided full service in every way. The branzino fish and the asparagus and mushroom pasta were my personal favorites. Gretchen was great to communicate with from start to finish and the team at the Porch is just A+ all around. We did go in to eat lunch at their cafe once to meet with Gretchen and it was also top notch!

We had The Porch cater a party for 22 at our house this weekend, and it was great. The food was delicious and so well seasoned. People were getting seconds, and are still talking about the food. I will definitely use them again!!

Generous portions. I had the Beet the Chills Breakfast Bowl. SO good! Others in our party had omelets and the classic breakfast plate - all of us loved our meals and we will definitely return the next time we are in Brattleboro

After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a go for the start of our week long road trip. The staff were friendly and the menu was straight forward. My daughter and I found the food though to be a bit more simplified than expected. It was not bad, not even remotely but, it also didn't blow our socks off. By the steady stream of customers, I don't think this place will have any trouble keeping it going. Food is very subjective and you really need to check it out for yourself and make your own decision. It may become your favorite place.
