The story sounds more suited to an urban area — a Kickstarter campaign, a former laundromat, and Intelligentsia coffee — but we promise the Vergennes Laundry really is located in rural Vermont. This off-the-beaten-path bakery serves up simple, fresh food, including made-to-order tarts, imaginative, melt-in-your-mouth croissants, chocolates, and macaroons, which you can wash down with Chemex drip coffee or fresh espresso. Arriving later in the day? Not to worry, as their lunch sandwiches, salads, and soups are just as fresh and tasty as their breakfast offerings.
