    NESR recommended/approved coffee stops near Stowe, VT

    Hello NESR & Vermont neighbors -

    I am all about doing business with local business & my neighbors whenever possible. Since my brother bought a place in Stowe, I find myself regularly riding from Colchester, VT to Stowe, VT.

    Any good NESR or ADVRider approved and/or recommended places to stop near or around Stowe (even on the way there) for some coffee, breakfast, or lunch that also has free wifi ? I am just indulging my Motorcycle Digital Nomad if only for a brief while.

    Randy took good care of us this year at the Gables Inn. It's a B&B that won't disappoint. The Coffee was coffee, but breakfast was a home run.

    I was also going to recommend the Gables. I'd be surprised if you haven't met Randy at some point John, he's a fairly regular face in the crowd during the summer at Bike Night.

    Thanks XJ & Nobody ... any wifi at the Gables ? I need to get my nerd on too. The Gables is on the Mountain Road, isn't it? I will have to drop by on my next ride through Smuggler's Notch. I haven't met Randy yet... I will add it to my "to-do" list.

    My brother's place is about a mile from the intersection of the Moscow Road with 100. I rode some nice & fun back roads through Waterbury Center, etc.. to get there yesterday (Sweet Farm Road, Ripley Road, etc) So, any places in Stowe, Waterbury Center, Waterbury...or... Morrisville, Johnson, Jeffersonville I can't keep going the same way all of the time...

    It could well be a semi-regularly Friday/Friday PM thing... next time I head out, I will let people know, so I can tag along from far behind, Ol' Unkle Pokey McPutt-Putt has to lead from the back of the pack with this crowd. <definitely need a turtle emoticon>

    158 Main in Jeffersonville has pretty good breakfast too.

    Thanks for the referrals guys, much appreciated.

    John, yes we do have wifi in the dining room, though at times I tend to describe it the same way you describe your riding style.

    not coffee, but if you run through morrisville you should really stop at Rock Art Brewery. They have tastings of whatever is on tap, and its wicked good beer.

    when I put the new sprint back together.... waiting on chain and sprockets to come in now.
    Bought it and brought it home, then immediately tore off the tail plastics, gas tank (broke a conection, had to fix) ripped off the rear wheel and replaced the tire, started cleaning everything up, lots of gunk basically. gotta fix the horn wiring (just a splice) and location (right in the cold air for the intakes, so they suck radiator wash...) and if its gonna be a few days, I'll pull the front springs and shorten them up to stiffen things freeby style.
    then I register/inspect it, and then we ride!

    Re: NESR recommended/approved coffee stops near Stowe, VT

    Heading out to Stowe again... I slept in this morning. Heading through the Notch...maybe the last time for the season, I will wave when I ride by the Gables, maybe stop to say "hi" & introduce myself to Randy.

    I know it is super short notice if anyone is interested, I am leaving my place in about 30 minutes. I need to check on my brother's place... of course, we could meet up at Rock Art Brewery around 2pm (?) & ride back to Burlington? PM me... no worries.

    LOL... Yo Cat' ... I just might do that on the way back, I ate a filling breakfast this morning... I was going to ride through the lesser traveled dirt roads over to 108 on the way to the Notch (Westman, Andrews, Iron Gate Road, Stebbins, etc)

    We should think about a Burger Barn Ride ... just because.

    Warm gloves, jacket liner, wool socks...I am ready.

    What the heck... the sun is out, the day is off, the time is now.
