Amazing breakfast / brunch / lunch. They have outdoor seating, but I’m not sure if it is set up yet. This place gets busy early, so go when it opens or expect a wait. They have a Yelp waiting list.

Sightseeing
The recreation / bike path is a 5mi paved, fairly flat path that starts downtown the church (parking) and generally follows mountain road for several miles. You can rent bikes at Pinnacle (maybe at AJs) which is on Mountain Road. The bike path has bridges goes over several streams and there are places to stop for picnic or dip in the stream.

both great places for family fun. You can (and should if the weather is poor) make a reservation at Stowe Bowl ahead of time. They serve food and alcohol too. The mini-golf is right outside Stowe Bowl.

Shopping
A family favorite to pick up books, puzzles, cards for the weekend (although the cabin has an amazing book collection from the last owner). There is also a great local “country” store downstairs and clothing store upstairs. I can’t say I love the Main Street Café, especially when Black Cap Coffee is down the street.
