Wife and I stopped on our way out for the day for a quick breakfast and coffee. Location is easy to find in downtown Rutland with plenty of paid street parking at 8AM. Interior was clean with a neat vibe and a seating for around 20ish people. Staff was upbeat and friendly. We both tried leaf peeper lattes which were pretty decent. My wife had a bagel sandwich which she enjoyed. I tried the very serious burrito which I would highly recommend, it was excellent. Overall, for a quick stop, it was pretty good. We would certainly come back and would recommend to others if you need coffee/bite in the AM

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Speakeasy is reliably delicious with a laid-back atmosphere. You’re able to customize anything and they have vegan options available. There’s a variety of cold and hot beverage options. I’m a fan of the serve-yourself coffee station, the flat white, and their dirty chair - all amazing and well-balanced with full-body flavor. Their food menu has signature items that include burritos, breakfast plates, toasts, lox and bagel, biscuits and gravy. I always opt for the “build your own egg sandwich”. They have unique sauces and toppings to spice things up. I get the biscuit, scrambled eggs, cheese, butter, green stuff (green salsa style, not spicy), pickled jalapeños. You can also get a variety of a la cart and bakery items. The vibe is cute. They even have a local art vending machine that holds tiny pieces of art by many different artists for purchase with quarters (I think $1). They have local papers available to check in on what Rutland and the surrounding area is up to while you’re in town.

Absolutely delicious chai and breakfast sandwich. Everyone was so kind and helpful, and even gave thoughtful suggestions. Will come back again!
