There was nothing "melted" in the sandwich. Very disappointing and they should just say what it is.

I got the pumpkin curry soup--I dream about this soup. I also tried their house recipe Bloody Mary, which was a bit too chunky for my liking but the flavor was great. The interior is a bit small but super cozy, and the waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Another Vermont gem…read more The staff was extremely friendly. The place is cute and quaint. If the weather is nice, I suggest sitting out on the patio. We chose poorly and ate inside, which is nice, but skewed because we were three people squeezed at a table for two, and it was not the most comfortable situation. Anyway. Food was quite good. The omelette was not overcooked, and being Vermont, 'felt' like it was cooked with local eggs, delicious. The flapjacks were pretty good too, a little more on the thick side, but not dense. The thing here is the tiny syrup that you provide is not enough. It almost should be one metal tin per flapjack since you can order X of them. I say this since it is not disclosed that more syrup cost more money to order. Easily suggest this place.

I live in Hinesburg, and regularly shop here, but when I'm working in Shelburne I will go to the…read moreShelburne Market on my way home on occasion. While the store has a great selection of grocery items, produce, local cheeses, meats & a deli. I am continually confronted by the worst in customer service, and just plan rudeness. I would say the meat dept. is the worst! The two men I regularly encounter are curt, and always annoyed by any question I might have re: availability of something i don't see in the case, or some other benign inquiry. The other day the younger of the two was making some adjustments with shelving in the cold meat case, to the right of the small opening where one can ask a question or order something. He was iritated even before I inquired about a date on defrosted shrimp- Frankly he was really annoyed with just being interrupted- saying "Oh shit" To Me. What followed was really unpleasant as he rushed away from his case to where i was, with an response I can't even recall-given his behavior. While I cannot be any more specific about other experiences in this store, I will say it is not a welcoming experience-I never feel good while there, or when I leave-no interaction that leaves me feeling positive with shopping there. A sad thing for this particular small Vermont Market, as my experience in others is overwhelmingly positive.

Both times I lingered by the counter looking at food to order and not a word from any of the FOUR young adults behind the counter. I left and came back a few minutes later (assuming they were busy) but again was ignored. No eye contact. No acknowledgment of my presence whatsoever. This time three people were working behind the counter and not one of them even appeared to notice. This is the second experience of this nature at this particular establishment At the deli counter. I should not have to holler out to staff behind the counter to be acknowledged and waited on. Unfortunately this business lost my business today and I won't be back. The prices are astronomical anyway. Groceries for the elite.

I had picked out this place to stop by after she described their ice creams and so their flavor combos. Had to have some. Alas, the flavors I wanted to try were not available as they had no checkmark next to them on the menu board. But, the Crystal Blue Persuasion (fresh blueberries with vanilla) spoke to me. I just got a single scoop because I knew I'd eat more later. But man, that was the richest, creamiest ice cream I've ever had. You taste both items and you can absolutely taste the vanilla like it can straight from the bean. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the views but we'd rather walk, talk, and eat. Loved this.

This marked our fifth year visiting the fabulous Vermont Cheese Festival. This year it returned to…read moreShelburne Farms south of Burlington for the first time since 2019; the most recent festival was held in Greensboro in 2023, and there was no festival in 2024. So it was a big welcome back in 2025, and the event -- held inside the newly reconstructed, enormous breeding barn at Shelburne (please see the photos) -- was quite a big deal. There were perhaps 50 or so vendors, and the general public was limited to just 1,000 tickets, which made it, unexpectedly, something of an elite event. (Tickets were sold out months in advance.) The festival offers a wonderful opportunity to meet the these dedicated craft cheesemakers and, best of all, sample their work. And wow, did we ever sample their work!!! We won't go detailing each of those cheeses, but please know there were many and not a one disappointed us. Other vendors offered everything from ciders to jams, sauces, charcuterie and -- believe it or not -- peanut butter. At a cheese festival? The atmosphere is inviting and rewarding for the makers and the public, and assembling such a large and skilled group of crafters in one place makes for an extraordinary moment. We congratulate the executive director of the cheese council, Hale, who did a splendid job. A couple of small issues for us: while there were a few chairs outside the barn there was almost no seating at all inside, and there was space which could have been worked fine, we think. And after a hour of walking around, a sitting break could have felt good. Also, there were food trucks selling ice cream, Indian food, cookies from King Arthurs, but they were placed placed pretty far from the barn, requiring a bit of walking. We also enjoyed the band playing outside, but they too were a bit moved from everything else. And then, it was hot -- near 90, but that's just the way it was. And for attendees, it was clearly not the temps defined this dazzling event. We're ready for 2026!

We had signed up to help and it turned out to be so much more than just service. Right off the bat, the food was extraordinary, what a spectacular showcase of Vermont's artisanal cheese scene! Samples ranged from classic cheddars to Gouda to pepper jack, all crafted by passionate local cheesemakers. We also discovered delightful pairings, cheese and jam was a Hit; I wasn't expecting it, but "jam is my jam," as one participant aptly put it. lol As for service, the volunteer coordination was seamless. Helping vendors set up before the crowds arrived gave us a chance to chat with cheesemakers, learn about each cheese's story, and feel truly connected to their craft. The staff were friendly, organized, and the energy was warm and welcoming. The ambiance was downright charming. Set at historic Shelburne Farms' Breeding Barn, the festival unfolded on a perfect summer day - sunny, scenic, and relaxed. It felt like celebrating cheese right in the heart of verdant Vermont, complete with the buzz of fellow cheese lovers, artisan vendors, and farm surroundings. A bit of history: This year marked the 13th Annual Vermont Cheesemakers Festival, hosted by the Vermont Cheese Council at Shelburne Farms. The festival is rooted in Vermont's rich artisanal cheese tradition, highlighting how the state leads the nation in cheesemakers per capita. It originally began as a celebration of the state's cheesemaking success a sort of "cheese carnival" introducing the public to local producers and their craft. Notably, this year's event was completely sold out tickets were snapped up well in advance, and none were available at the door. Even the general admission waitlist was full, and volunteer slots had closed early too. This level of demand speaks volumes about how beloved and highly anticipated, the festival has become. Volunteering at the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival was a fantastic decision. The combination of exceptional cheese, purposeful and friendly service, and a picturesque setting made for a memorable afternoon. It's clear why this sold-out event has become a beloved summer tradition. We'll definitely be back, with or without volunteer duties to savor more of what Vermont's incredible cheesemakers have to offer!
