I try to stop by whenever I'm in the area for work and it was just as good as I remembered from a year ago. The breakfast burrito is perfectly portioned - not too big or too small. The eggs inside are freshly cooked, the sausage and salsa add excellent flavor, the cheese amount is just right. The tortilla is a delicious jalapeño cheddar one that is soft, not dry or overwhelming. Also, love the coffee too. Had some in their ceramic mug and enjoyed some refills while I worked on my computer. After a while I was hungry again so I got a cinnamon bun - also sooooooo so good. Wish I lived closer!!

Whenever I travel, I enjoy researching and supporting local businesses. I chose this café because of its excellent reviews and was excited to visit after a hike. Unfortunately, I left feeling unwelcome and disrespected. I ordered a simple turkey wrap with vegetables and asked a few questions about unclear pricing and the gluten-free options advertised. An older woman behind the deli counter became visibly irritated, saying she couldn't help because she'd have to unpack and slice the turkey. She passed my order to another employee. Shortly afterward, I noticed her whispering to a younger employee, and both laughed while looking in my direction. Another employee later made a po Yankees comment to me after noticing my Red Sox hat. While harmless on its own, it added to an already uncomfortable atmosphere. Despite no customers visibly ahead of me, I waited nearly 30 minutes for my deli sliced turkey wrap. I never complained to anyone working there. After receiving my food, I went outside to the seating area with my two companions. The same woman approached and confronted me, accusing me of speaking disrespectfully to her employees. I was stunned because I had done nothing of the sort! She then questioned where I was from and seemed surprised when I answered New Hampshire, just across the border. What does me ordering lunch have to do with my residency? I couldn't help wondering whether my appearance or ethnicity played a role. I cannot know her motivation, but I felt singled out and humiliated. Ironically, the café displayed a rainbow flag symbolizing inclusivity, yet my experience felt anything but welcoming. My companions witnessed the confrontation and were equally shocked. To make matters worse, my poorly assembled wrap fell open before I could eat it. Given how I was treated, I felt uncomfortable eating it and honestly worried after that interaction so decided to throw it away after wasting my money and left there hungry. I also noticed another review describing a similar negative interaction. However, I DO want to acknowledge that the gentleman who handled my payment was absolutely lovely, and I appreciated his kindness. I understand employees have difficult days, but asking reasonable menu questions should never result in apparent mockery or being confronted outside. It's especially disappointing to see this behavior modeled in front of younger staff. I genuinely hope the owners take this feedback seriously. Inclusivity should be reflected not just in signage but in how every customer is treated. Hoping this just is an isolated incident because my time in Vermont was awesome and everyone else was so nice.

There is hardly any parking, as most people walk and the kids show up on bikes. They specialize in making grinders (that's New England's version of a sub sandwich).

The sandwich was phenomenal! The meat was cut fairly thick and the portions were generous. The toppings were fresh. The grinder was perfect and filling. My cousin picked up a maple soft serve cone that disappeared before I could get a photo. She loved it. The store sells essential groceries. Shelves are neat and tidy.

Oldest continuously running General Store in Vermont, dating to 1796. Burned twice, reopened after focused effort of Putney Historical Society. New owner very friendly, good grocery, beer wine selection, meats, Vermont products, some good pricing. Nice, quiet eating areas with good views. Soon to have popular Front Porch chef Jeremy serving breakfast/lunch! read more

The inside really arrives for "general store", and it's cute, but they are far more focused on the bistro side: with the best chai latte I've had. They also have a full bar. As far as food- its expensive. The fresh bread is a step up from what I would expect, but it's not quite worth it for the food alone. (But combined with the atmosphere it absolutely is). Oddly, breakfasts and drinks are very reasonably priced. If I lived near this would be a routine summer morning stop. As it was, really glad for the stop at the start of a very long drive.
