Dina’s Bakery Cafe

The Breakfast Biscuit is a must. And this place is a cookie monster's dream. Thanks for being there Dina.

We really enjoyed the food, our lunch was so delicious! I would absolutely return if we are ever in Manchester again so I could try something else on the menu!

My only suggestion to improve the customer experience - to put a few tables with umbrellas or provide some shade for your outside dining area. It was a comfortable, sunny day when we were there and the sun was too much for me. We ended up moving to a picnic table that was sort of off to the side in some shade to eat and not using their little tables in front of the Cafe.

My family and I were visiting Manchester for a few days and Dina's bakery was highly recommended by a few locals we had chatted with. We were excited to sample some of the pastries but our visit to the cafe was unfortunately cut short.

As I was perusing the display of baked goods, my husband entered the cafe while carrying our small dog on his chest. He was standing just inside the front entrance and wanted to ask if there was a menu he could quickly take a look at. Before he could utter a single word, the employee at the counter, abruptly and sternly reprimanded him, "NO DOGS ALLOWED." I tried to explain to her that he was not going to stay inside the cafe, but just wanted to take a quick glance at the menu so he could tell me what to order for him. The employee's response was another stern, "NO DOGS ALLOWED".

We did not notice any "No Pets Allowed" signs at the entrance of the cafe, and most certainly would never have entered the cafe in the first place if we were aware of their policy. We completely respect, understand and accept a business not permitting pets anywhere on their premises under any circumstances. However, the manner and tone in which this employee chose to relay the cafe's "no pet policy" to us was surprisingly unfriendly and rude.

We don't expect that everyone in Vermont is an animal lover, but the employee most definitely could have conveyed the message in a nicer and more polite manner, and been more pleasant in her demeanor. We felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable, and decided it was best to find another cafe with friendlier service. Thankfully, this was an isolated incident during our stay in Manchester. All other businesses we visited in town greeted us and our puppy with the warmest welcomes and friendliest smiles.

Good avocado toast, falafel salad is nice as well. They have a few vegan options which is always appreciated, although I wish some of the baked goods were vegan as well. Clean restaurant, helpful and friendly staff.

Incredible sticky buns! Best in town. I confess that I don’t care for raisins, but there weren’t too many. I would love to have pecans or something like many traditional sticky buns, but I understand a lot of folks have nut allergies.

One of the reasons it’s also so delicious is that it’s not cloyingly sweet like many other pastries you find in town. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and wonderful bun-ness.

My husband loved the breakfast sandwich biscuit. He said it’s the best in town. I didn’t love the biscuit itself, as much, because it had a sweet finish, and it was lacking cheddar. Maybe I got a cheese deficient biscuit LOL. I think the biscuit would be better in a sandwich with the savory offsetting the sweet.

They were also very dense. I prefer a light, fluffy biscuit, but I am a self proclaimed biscuit aficionado, so it really is all down to preference. The quality is still excellent overall!

Great treats! The avocado toast is amazing, and the egg sandwich is one of the best my husband ever had. Will definitely return when in this area again

Delicious bakery and salad, full of flavor. Owner is also very friendly. Definitely recommend to stop by.

This is a lovely place run by lovely people. The folks who run the joint know everyone who walk in by name.

The latte was perfect as was the oatmeal (yes, steel cut and made slowly just like you want it on a brisk day—they even cook in a little maple syrup for you). Oh, and get the ginger delight cookie because YUM!

Stayed in town for the weekend and ended up coming here every morning for breakfast, because the food was that good. Best Breakfast Biscuits! Best pastries and bakery items.

Yummy stuff! Scones and pastries are worth the money. Quiche and salads and soups are NOT worth the money. $8.50 for 3 bites of quiche? $9 for a salad with 5 leaves of lettuce?
