The room

The first Sunny Side opened in a narrow storefront on the marketplace in the spring of 2014 with eleven seats and one deck oven. Three expansions later it holds fifty-eight inside, twenty-two on the brick out front, and a bakery bench that supplies the other two cafés every morning.

This is the only location with a full kitchen, which is why weekend brunch and all catering production happen here. It is also the loudest, the busiest and, on a Saturday in October, the best people-watching in Chittenden County.

  • 1Weekend brunch lives hereThe full brunch menu runs Saturday and Sunday from 8 am to 2 pm at this location only.
  • 2The bakery benchEvery croissant, loaf and cookie in all three cafés is made on this bench, starting at 4:40 am.
  • 3Patio from late MayTwenty-two seats on the brick that catch sun until about 11:30 in the morning.
