Minifactory

Awesome food, friendly service and great coffee. Loved the menu, and it's a bright, clean and inspiring place to unwind.

The food is seriously good. Everything I’ve tried is well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and so creative. Whatever is happening in the kitchen is truly art. And the pastries!!?! My gluten free heart is so so happy. It’s also a great place to find really fun local ingredients and sit down for a bit to work, read, or chat with friends! I just wish it was a teensy bit less expensive considering how often I now have the impulse to buy myself a treat here lol

What a serine and blissful experience! The coffee and food was absolutely delicious and magnificent. My husband is from Vermont and we made a stop here while visiting his family.
I wish there was one where I live!
I love how the space is decorated. All of the yellow made me feel so happy. Thank you for a wonderful experience and raising the bar.

This is a MUST try. The food is incredible... coffee too. Good wines and really nice people. We went twice in one week and do not live very close by.

While first walking into the Minifactory, I was invited with a sweet aroma and vibrant colors filling the cafe/shop. In the back left corner of the store, there is a little retail section filled with local produce, meats, cold beverages, and, of course, V Smiley products. I personally purchased some Raspberry Jam from them (can confirm it's absolutely delicious).

When I visited (Monday, March 28th) for breakfast and coffee, they were on their final day of a three-day soft opening, meaning they only had their Pecan Ginger Scones left in stock for pastries. Let me tell ya, fantastic scones! A crisp and crunchy outside with a soft and delicate inside. Also, quite filling!

Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of this, but I also a got beautiful Cappuccino from their current Barista, Noah. He's very friendly and makes some damn good coffee! The rest of the staff were also very lovely! They also had this coffee cheat sheet which is very useful for someone who knows next-to-nothing about coffee (like me).

It cost me $30 total for a Cappuccino, Two Scones, the Jam, and a tip. The Jam was most expensive item I bought ($13). While certainly not dirt cheap, everything here is well worth it's price!

All in all, V Smiley's Minifactory is a cozy and splendid experience!

The smashed potatoes and pistachio cream waffles were incredible — literally couldn’t get enough!

This place was exceptional. The jalapeno cheddar cornbread was great. The coffee was good. It was very busy as if everyone in town loves this place. I would gladly return.

Fantastic food and drinks. Our favorite brunch spot in Bristol. Can't go wrong with the hammy waffle.

Delicious high quality coffee and a waffle that I can't stop thinking about.. Made with some sort of hearty grains, topped with a cherry fresh whipped cream, pistachios and VT maple- pretty bonkers. The buttermilk biscuit with their preserves was quite a treat as well. Bright, modern atmosphere.. great local goods for sale. Looking forward to enjoying more menu items.

A friend who lives in Bristol recommended this for breakfast while we were visiting the area. We were a little disappointed that they didn’t have a hot breakfast available the day that we went, but apparently it fluctuates from day today. We were not disappointed by the sandwiches, cheese and crackers and dips and things we purchased from the cold case. We also enjoyed coffee and golden milks and some baked goods. There were four of us and we spent a little over $100. It was pricey but everything was delicious!

I can't believe anyone would rate this restaurant as anything but a 5+. I've eaten here three times and each time has been truly sensational. The food is locally sourced and beautifully prepared. Every soup, salad, biscuit, sandwich, pastry and herbal tea I've tried has been outstanding. I also love that the owner has tried so hard to be ecologically responsible, using cloth napkins, avoiding plastic, and working to use organic and fair trade sourcing of products. The cinnamon buns are to die for. But if you want to watch your waistline, try one of their scrumptious salads or soups. This place is simply not to be missed. And might I add, I am a customer but not a friend or family member. I rarely rave like this, but this one is a winner. Go now!

Their brunch menu is very tasty and creative. More contemporary rendering of breakfast items. Their baked good are fresh and also very delicious. The ambiance and interior style is gorgeous. LGBTQI+ supportive.

The food here is so so so good! The line to order is often long and slow but worth the wait.

Everything that comes out of the Mini Factory kitchen is exceptional! And I love the atmosphere. A small menu but easily some of the best food in the state of Vermont! You can tell everything is made with deep care and expertise. Great little market, too.

Lovely. Just lovely. Wonderful food, coffee, atomosphere, staff. A very welcomed addition to Bristol! Excited to visit often.

Really enjoyed a light lunch there. Fantastic baked goods and the Croissandwich was heavenly. That spread and the ham…yum!

I have not frequented this bakery a lot, despite living in Bristol and being especially fond of bakeries, due to the limited hours and exorbitant prices. Jones The Boy Bake Shop (which also has limited hours) is generally both very good, and much more reasonable price wise. I stop in to Minifactory now and then because they carry the absolute best bread (Downhill Bread) to be had in Vermont. However, today I ate a four dollar "Jammy donut" that was the best donut I have ever had. I ate it in the car for breakfast, experienced donut ecstacy, and went back in for another one. I have had other expensive, but delicious, items here (there were, at one point, some small, but wonderful linzer type cookies with some sort of plum jam), though nothing quite that good. It almost pains me to say it, but some culinary quality is worth the price and the effort that may keep it out of the hands of those Vermonters with lower incomes. That donut was really just THAT good.

Great ambience...with European vibes! They have awesome coffee and cakes.

The butter laden waffle w the compost jammyyogurt/creme fraische-- Transported. Me.

Such a cute coffee shop / eatery / small groceries spot. The iced vanilla oatmilk latte was one of the best I've had. I was very tempted to try many of their baked goods as well as sample the local jams / vinegars / greens / bottled drinks and much more. They also have a menu for sit down foods that I did not try this time. Lots to try here with ample seating and free 2 hr parking right in front of the cafe. Staff was welcoming and kind! Highly recommend checking it out.
