Hender's Bake Shop & Cafe 22 North Main Street, Waterbury Village Historic District, VT 05676

"Every single thing here is absolutely delicious. My husband and I have been coming here for the last couple of years. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing, blueberry muffins are wonderful (and I don’t typically like blueberry muffins), their granola bars are so good I order them in bulk, overnight oats are the best on the way to the ski mountain, and can’t ever resist a cinnamon roll. Lisa is super friendly and nice and the owner/chef is always posting adorable videos of her dog and enticing bakery items. I love that they are only open a few days a week otherwise I’d be spending way too much money there!"

"I wrote the first yelp review of Henders way back in 2016. Gave her 5 stars. I've been a frequent customer throughout the years. Unfortunately I will never shop there again. The owner is abusive. The first time she yelled at me I let it go. I figured she was stressed out. The second time was a couple weeks ago. Spent $100 on cookies and she yelled at me from the kitchen for not ordering ahead of time. I tried to explain there was something up with the website, but she didn't want to hear it. Said it was a personal problem. The third time she yelled at me was just a few days ago. I ordered $90 on cookies a little after 9am. Website said they'd be ready at 9:40. We went in around 10:15. Cookies weren't ready and she screamed at us again from the kitchen that we had all f’ing week to order the cookies. I'm done. She just lost a customer that has spent hundreds of dollars at her store. She also lost my family who also spent lots of money there. What a shame. I’m sure she’ll leave a nasty reply to this review. Who does that?"

"Hender’s Bake Shop is very charming, quaint, and well worth the visit! The treats and savory breakfast items are hand made by the talented chef/owner daily and served with a personal touch that evidences the pride she takes in her business. Also in the shop, there is pottery for sale that is made by the chef; I absolutely love this style of pottery! Lisa, the face of the front of the store, demonstrates a high level of service; this is true customer service stewardship. She is always upbeat, smiling, and very pleasant; and she makes excellent drinks! I really cannot emphasize how refreshing it is to see the level of effort applied to even the small details here. I really appreciate this establishment and offer sincere gratitude to the team that provides my family with a great weekend breakfast treat!"
