Just had a fabulous meat omelette here. The food is above par, and they use a delicious homemade chorizo sausage. The omelette was soft and buttery, not greasy. The staff are so friendly, and there’s a lovely, warm community atmosphere. Looking forward to going back

Gretchen at The Porch was absolutely wonderful to work with. We ordered lunch and dinner catering for 10 days with her. She came up with versatile menus that were not only delicious but accommodated quite a few dietary restrictions. Everyone was so happy with the food. Highly recommend!

Five stars all around. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely seemed to be enjoying their day! I think if the staff seems happy and positive, it says a lot about the business. Prices are reasonable. Food is delicious with lots of options for any dietary preferences, and great portion sizes! I got the breakfast bowl and added sundried tomatoes- it was FIRE!! Highly recommend. The outside seating is lovely- I was right next to tomato plants and beautiful flowers- what more could you ask for.

We went to The Porch restaurant for breakfast while visiting Brattleboro. We were quickly greeted by a charming atmosphere and friendly staff. After placing our order, we got ourselves cups of coffee from their coffee bar and only had time to sit down briefly before our food arrived. We ordered the classic breakfast and the Belgium waffle and both were incredible. Even after finishing our breakfast, we sat and drank another cup of coffee because we enjoyed the vibe of the place so much!

We worked with the Porch for our wedding catering and bar service and we could not have been happier. Gretchen was amazing to work from start to finish. The food was incredibly delicious and creative. All of our weddings guests raved about how good the food was, saying it was unlike any other meal they had at a wedding. The catering and bar staff were also extremely friendly and accommodating, always asking if we needed anything. We have multiple vegan and gluten free family members and the Porch had no problem accommodating them. If you want to have an amazing culinary experience for your event, with an amazing staff, book the porch ASAP!!

My family was looking for someone to cater a reception after my mother’s funeral service. The Porch Cafe & Catering came highly recommended by a cousin and a friend. Gretchen got right back to me and answered all my questions in a very timely manner. All I can say is I would recommend them for any event. They offered a wide variety of dishes. The chicken Cesar Salad wrap was the best ever. The Mac and cheese was outstanding and the Marshmallow chocolate chip cookies were the best I’ve ever had. Everything was made fresh. No frozen warmed up processed stuff. Oh, and the service was amazing also. The young man that tended to everything making sure all the dishes stayed full was super nice, polite and very professional. Everything about their service was perfect making a not so great gathering just that little bit better.

Great experience from start to finish with The Porch Catering for our wedding this June in Manchester. Gretchen and her team were very responsive and accommodating to our menu requests and adjustments. They were also able to accomodate our gluten free guests without any issues. Their staff at the event were professional and kind. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, multiple guests commented on how good the food was. Definitely would recommend!

Gretchen of The Porch came highly recommended by our wedding planner to cater our wedding at Aldworth Manor, and she truly knocked it out of the park. The food was one of the most important aspects of our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the menu Gretchen created. From the locally sourced short ribs to the stunning raw bar, every dish was absolutely delicious—our guests are still raving about it! She even made a special plate with all three entree options for my husband and me to enjoy. Her team of servers was equally wonderful, ensuring everything went smoothly. We’re so grateful they were part of our special day!
