5247 Shelburne Road, Shelburne, 985-9877
Every once in a while, I find food so good in a space so small that I want to keep it all to myself. That’s why it’s taken me so long to write about Next Door Bakery & Café.
Despite its location (adjacent to its big brother, the Bearded Frog) and its pedigree (Frog pastry chef Jesse Lauer is at the helm), the quirky café has flown under the radar.
When I mention it to folks outside Shelburne, they rarely know about the spot, which opened at the end of July. But locals keep it humming. Every time I’ve visited, it’s been bustling, but if I wait a few minutes, I’m always able to grab a table.
