Beautiful atmosphere, and staff is SO kind and attentive. I was only there a few days and they remembered me from the previous day. Cold brew is great and biscuit sandwiches are EVERYTHING I still think about them.

We absolutely loved our visits to Three Branches Cafe & Bakery! The owners and their staff are incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming—the kind of people who make you feel like family. The conversation felt genuine, and the hospitality was above and beyond. We came for breakfast three mornings in a row of our trip and were so glad they open early We tried the avocado toast and build-your-own breakfast sandwiches—both were fresh, flavorful, and made just right. The pastries were amazing too: cinnamon roll, sticky bun, mustache cookie, and a cream cheese danish… all absolutely delicious! We also enjoyed both the hot and iced maple lattes—so good! The space has a cozy yet modern feel, with beautiful original flooring and ceiling tiles that give it a unique charm. We’re headed back to Eagle Pass, Texas but already dreaming of our next visit. This place is a true gem!

Adorable little gem in the heart of Island Pond Vermont. We were welcomed with genuine warmth by the owner and baristas, surrounded by beautiful artwork from local artists that gave the place such a unique charm. The pastry and cookie display looked like it belonged in an art gallery, everything was homemade, even the dog biscuits ! The owner, who spoke French, took the time to recommend lovely spots nearby to walk our dogs. It’s the kind of place where the whole community comes together, the neighbors chatting over coffee, locals stopping by for their favorite treats, and a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. A cozy and inspiring stop for anyone who loves great coffee, delicious food, and a genuine sense of community

If you are anywhere near Island Pond, you definitely have to stop here! My group ordered a variety of coffees, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches - all delicious! The sausage is especially yummy, and I couldn’t even tell the berry scones were gluten free. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Many locals stopped through and you could tell the cafe is a staple in town. The decor is bright and cozy, and bathrooms were clean! I will definitely be back!
