Vermont Favorite Brings Crepes, Craft Beer, and Cozy Vibes to the North Shore
A beloved staple of Vermont’s food scene has made its way to Massachusetts, setting up shop on the North Shore and bringing a bit of Green Mountain flavor along for the ride.
Known for its hearty crepes, sustainable sourcing, and cozy charm, The Skinny Pancake has opened a new outpost in Peabody, marking its first expansion into the Greater Boston area. The eatery officially launched at the Northshore Mall in March, adding a little New England flair to the mall’s culinary lineup. Tucked just beside the dining pavilion with a dedicated exterior entrance, the spot offers easy access without stepping foot inside the mall itself.
For those familiar with Vermont’s rich food culture, this news is something to get excited about. The state is celebrated not only for its scenic beauty and mountainside charm, but also for its culinary prowess—especially when it comes to locally sourced eats and world-class craft beer. From farm-fresh cheeses to maple-laced specialties, Vermont restaurants consistently shine, and The Skinny Pancake is no exception.
Originally launched in Burlington and now found in places like Montpelier, Stowe, and Quechee, The Skinny Pancake has built a name for itself serving up sweet and savory crepes made with regional ingredients. It's not just about crepes, though—the menu includes everything from breakfast staples and sandwiches to craft beers and hard-to-find Vermont brews. For fans of breweries like Lawson’s Finest Liquids or The Alchemist, it’s a rare treat to see these options outside of Vermont’s borders.
The Peabody space offers a unique twist on the mall dining experience. Rather than leaning into cookie-cutter decor, the restaurant features warm wood finishes, exposed pipes, and eclectic seating that blend rustic charm with an industrial edge. There's a mix of booths, tables, and counter spots, making it easy to settle in whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or lingering over weekend brunch. Orders are placed at the front counter, and meals are delivered to your table—simple and laid-back, just like the vibe they’ve cultivated up north.
Though the mall location might seem like a departure from the quaint, off-the-beaten-path charm of its Vermont counterparts, this expansion mirrors a recent move into Hadley, MA—another location near a busy shopping hub. The strategy suggests a new chapter for The Skinny Pancake: bringing its homegrown ethos to high-traffic areas, where more people can experience their signature blend of comfort food and community-first dining.
So if you're in the area and craving a taste of Vermont-without the drive- this might just be your new go-to.
