Six years ago I was introduced to Moon Dog Cafe in Chester, Vermont and was totally smitten the moment I looked in their window. With this being my fourth visit to Vermont…I’m more in love with this little cafe than ever.
Bohemian, vintage, and hippy are words that come to mind…think of a marriage between Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters with food tossed in. I recall on my very first visit being introduced to Anahatan’s greeting cards and since then…a number of items (patchouli incense, goat milk soap, an artsy coffee mug) have made it home with me from this little cafe. This visit I picked up one of those adorable slouchy hats for winter. But the food…
Their baked goods and specials included just picked apples and pears…think fresh pear crumb cake…cheescake-filled chocolate bundt cake…and…oh, their portobello mushroom sandwich on bread that was just baked that morning…all fresh organic ingredients…
And with a small place run by locals…we also received sightseeing recommendations…and dutifully reported back after each adventure! ((We had breakfast/lunch here three days out of four!)
What more could visitors ask for? When I find a place that really speaks to me…I so enjoy sharing the love… So if you ever find yourself in Chester, Vermont you must put Moon Dog Cafe on your list. My bet is you’ll be back time after time too.
Just love little places like that. So comfortable and soothing.
You’ll have to show us a pic of you wearing your new hat. I’m sure you look adorable in it.
Thanks for sharing.
Love you.

Thanks Lisa! Well we’ll see about a hat pic, lol!
I was sold at HELLO, Robin. But now I want to see you in a slouchy hat….please? 🙂
LOL on the slouchy hat! We’ll see, ha! Thank you!
Sounds like my kind place! Love the prayer flags “Be Here” “Now.” And yes, let us see the slouchy hat.

Oh you know I would love that adorable little place. I want everything in it… if only I had a space big enough… Love and miss you! XoXo
Yes you would!! I’m in awe at what you can still have though in your new home…and can’t wait to see it all very soon! xoxox
I love everything about Moon Dog Cafe. It’s the kind of place I’m immediately drawn to for all the obvious reasons. Places that take me out of my current life and allow me to fantasize about the ‘what ifs’. What if I hadn’t, what if I could, what if I were? The ruminating ends, I savor the moment and content myself with the thought ‘maybe in my next life’. 😉
Love this! Thanks Patricia for your visit!!
Any place this beautiful and comfy with glorious food thrown in? And you get to talk with locals and buy cute hats? I say winner winner! I am really smitten with those prayer flags, too.
I’m smitten with them too! Thanks always for your comments and visits!!
‘Short of eyes’ is what comes in mind. I think this is heaven, period. What great pictures you took and isn’t it nice to see it different every time you come there… what a place to be.
Love and hugs.
Short of eyes is right! I just love this little place! Thanks for the visit Astrid! xoxo
