Worst experience in Bennington! Do not patron if you enjoy…read moreany level of hospitality & actual value. I came in cheerful & this guy ruined the day... I ended up leaving angry and literally cried.... Their online ordering has a Reuben with an option for $2 extra meat & a note box so I cld have written there asking for the extra portion on the side. EASY. Yet, I went in person to see what the specials were hoping for a great lunch, because Im here for medical procedures at the hospital and had fasted since the day before. Id never been to The Elm Street Market before, but it was close to the hospital, & love Vermont markets for all the years I have lived here. But THIS place :: T E R R I B L E mistake! The employee at the counter was as fake & uncaring as it gets, & shld definitely not be the customer guy. He would not just let the added side be $2 , but wanted to weigh it out & charge me for a deli style $6 sliced side in a package as an addition to the $14 sandwich. ($20 Reuben?!) I said I didn't need or expect a package of sliced cold meat, that I was just adding the side portion to share with my pups. For Lunch. He just becomes patronizing, dense, & fully lacking capacity or willingness to help and says he "can't bc it just doesn't work that way" unless I get it on the sandwich. I cld order it online but not with him at register. And for some reason he cant figure out a $2 portion of meat. Surreal Incompetence. The next level of downhill not-so-fun is seeing the tiny soup. A cup of soup for $8. A latte "special" that I cld not even taste the smoked maple flavor and was only 3/4 full. It's actually shocking- what happened to actually CARING about just helping ppl have a good experience if you are working in the restaurant business as a small local independent market? Hey Elm Street Market Fella, you cld do the simplest things like not try ripping ppl off & being kind! His patronizing attitude & lack of capacity really took it over the top- how am I supposed to enjoy this $36 ordeal? Supposedly he is refunding the meat, bc I explained I didn't order a package of meat. He took it out of bag & literally said "take your sandwich & drink & go". I was upset~ I said this is truly unacceptable ~ try some Kindness & Authenticity! And left. The other young lady who was working that day & witnessed this whole debacle seemed to feel bad making 'Im So Sorry' faces. She at least offered me a dollop of maple syrup & noted the drink was not filled~ but also was being oppressed by his attitude. I cld tell he was being an overbearing tyrant. Wtf - this is NOT Vermont as it should be DUDE. All it took was putting a few slices on the side for $2 & filling up a drink. Ridiculous.

It was great for the whole crew, the kids and the kids at heart. Denise made my family feel welcome in her family's shop, teaching us step by step about the process of how they make chocolate. The variety of chocolates that they have are delectable and we even got to taste three distinct options in the class. Of course we purchased many of the available sweets and treats on our way out too. 10/10 and will be coming back to when their beverage making class is up and running in the spring!

A very cute chocolate shop that apparently won best candy award. Unfortunately no samples so you…read morejust gotta pick what you want with confidence. They had Easter egg death by chocolate (which they said was very popular) for $8 and BOGO sale. They were definitely veryyy heavy and very chocolatey it didn't disappoint! Just wish there was more dimensions to it than just pure fudgey chocolate since it was advertised as layers of this and that but still solid. Also got these cute orange mints ~$8 but unfortunately had no orange or even mint flavor. I tried all the butter crunch flavors with my favorite being the maple (perfection!!), dark chocolate (heavenly!), and not really liking the milk chocolate since it was too sweet and too thick of a crunch center andunproportional. Tried 1 of each and came out to ~$3. Overall definitely a cute shop and worth trying out! Came on a cold day when the town was all closed so this shop was definitely a highlight.

The folks at the Woodford General Store are extremely likable (esp. Ryan!) and accommodating who, if you're staying nearby (e.g., at the Greenwood Lodge) will even help you get pizza delivered (for pick up there at the Gen. Store) from (highly recommended; surprisingly excellent pizza btw!)) Bennington Pizza House, 6 miles away in Bennington. A must stop shop!

I protested because who can do cheesesteak better than Philly?!?! Well, this place was indeed good (not Philadelphia level) but for Vermont, it was excellent. The meat was not salty and seasoned well, the onions well done just like I like them. My only complaint would be that they did not toast the bread (so lacking that crunch) and it was not cheesy enough. But it was a good size and I still have half for lunch tomorrow. The mozzarella sticks were delicious!! Well done and crunchy and gooey. Loves them. Great service. The attendant was very nice and welcoming. It's pretty big inside with enough seating (had benches). Definitely worth the stop and will return.

Some items are extremely expensive for what you get, but there are reasonable options. The house-made hummus and curried chickpeas are good values. Breads vary widely.
