Sandy's Books & Bakery

A popular local hangout, this Rochester cafe and bookstore serves homemade everything – granola, scones, bagels, whole-wheat bread – along with mean dishes such as spinach-and-egg-filled biscuits, spanakopita, salads and soups. Tables are scattered between bookshelves, so it’s a great spot for a java break and a browse of the new and used books (or the locally made Vermont gifts).
