There is a lower level for pickup orders and an upper level with a handful of tables for parties of two and four. There's a kiosk for ordering or you can order at the counter with the cashier. The service was super cordial and efficient. We ordered two beef tacos, a Coca-Cola bottle, a Root Beer bottle, a vegetarian burrito, and chips/queso. The total was $45. The value was closer to $30. There is no table service or wait staff. The beef tacos were great but immediately broke apart. The burrito was incredibly bland to the point I had to empty half a maple habanero sauce bottle sitting on the table to give it any flavor. Barely any sour cream, barely any beans, overpacked with cabbage, and I didn't taste the shredded cheese. The chips portion was ample for the amount of melted cheese, but those chips are cholesterol city! Salt galore made them inedible but because I paid $8 I'm gonna choke down more than a few. Just go to a grocery store, get the ingredients, and treat your family to a homemade meal assembled with your own two hands.

Cute spot in downtown Stowe! There's not too many quick casual places to grab lunch in the area, but the Avocado pit did the trick! There's not a ton of seating, but we managed to find a spot for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty basic menu with tacos and burritos. The staff were friendly and quick. I ordered a burrito bowl, and I thought it was better than your average bowl from a Mexican spot! The ingredients tasted very fresh and quality. Definitely recommend!

My wife and I were in Stowe for a hiking adventure, and after finishing our hike, we decided to stop at The Avocado Pit -- and we're so glad we did! We both ordered the Pit Bowl, which is essentially a delicious deconstructed burrito without the shell. Each bowl came loaded with rice, black beans, chicken, salsa verde, warm queso, romaine, cilantro sauce, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, extra corn, and, of course, added guacamole (because you can never have too much guac!). Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- the kind of meal that feels both satisfying and energizing after a day outdoors. Our server, Corey M., was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They gave great recommendations and checked in just the right amount, which made the dining experience even better. The ambiance here is relaxed and modern, with a welcoming vibe that fits right in with the Stowe community. It's the kind of place where you can grab a casual meal, refuel after an adventure, and still feel like you're treating yourself to something special. If you're in Stowe and craving fresh, flavorful food with excellent service, The Avocado Pit is a must-visit. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back the next time we're in town!

Stopped by The Avocado Pit in Stowe the day after Christmas and wow--such a great find. Delicious food, genuinely friendly customer service, and the perfect cozy little café right on Main Street. Everything we tried was so good, and the vibe was just right after the holiday rush. Definitely a spot we be coming back to next time we're in town.

Tacos

Food was absolutely amazing! First time there and cashier was super nice and helpful. Will definitely be back soon

Unfortunately, this was no longer on the menu but we thought we'd give something else a try...starting with French fries (these were good). Then we shared the carnitas sandwich and delicata squash. Both of these items have a lot of potential, but the chef missed the mark. The carnitas sandwich was 95% fat and we couldn't eat it. When we let the waitress know (not expecting anything other than providing feedback), she seemed annoyed but proceeded to provide a discount to accommodate us. Shifting to the squash...it's spicy. We are certain cayenne was used, even though the menu list pomegranate molasses...the skins weren't removed and overall just wasn't something we'd recommend. We left most of the bowl behind. Anyways. The menu does appear like it has potential just needed more TLC when making the food. We appreciate the wait staff trying to make up for the negative experience with the food, but also would appreciate the attentiveness from the waitress. They did seem short staffed, so she may have been stressed out but when a customer provided feedback...maybe take it more graciously? Overall, this feels like typical resort food. So if your into that type of food, enjoy!

Ranch camp is the best option I've found for family dining with kids. We chose Ranch Camp because…read morethere were plenty of options for the vegan contingent of the family, but it also ended up being the best place for my two year old nephew (and his sisters and cousins). The space is really large, there is a nice outside area, and there are bikes to look at! Plus, there are plenty of kid arts supplies at the hostess station and the staff are so kid-friendly! In fact, the service is top notch all around, which is particularly notable because Stowe, like many big tourist areas, seems to have, let's say, an often inattentive service culture. I liked all the options (vegan, gluten free, customizable protein) available on the menu. I had the rock power bowl with chicken, which was filling and nourishing and full of good stuff (greens, brown rice, black beans, avocado, corn). My only suggestion would be to add cheese (for non-vegans). It could haxe used a little salt. The burritos were huge and got thumbs up from around the table. The kids meals were high quality, genuine not boxes mac and cheese.

Being vegetarian and gluten-free, I was so excited for their menu. When we got there, I told my…read morehusband I'll be back at least once daily during our stay to enjoy all the selection I had available. Unfortunately, we had a poor experience tonight and won't be returning. We ordered burritos - and either they scraped the bottom of the rice or it was sitting out too long because it had dried out to the level of becoming stone-hard. They offered to make us a replacement, which we appreciated, but then took 20 minutes to do so. Understandable if they had to prepare a fresh batch of rice. After that though, we kept waiting for our check for 15 more minutes with no server in sight. We finally got up and checked out at the bar. After paying $54 for a meal we really were disappointed in, we feel we really have no reason to return sadly. The flavors seemed good, if only they could've cared about the execution details and customer service. I wish I could've tried the falafel burger and nachos - both sound good.

Every bit of food was prepared just right. We did eat a pineapple salad that was so fresh and crisp and not overly dressed, which was on the Specials menu. I also ate the Halibut for my main course, which was also on the Specials menu. This was nicely done as well. My wife ate the pork tenderloin, from the regular menu, and it was delicious. The coup de grâce was the dessert. The ice cream of the day, which was an maple gingersnap flavor was outstanding, and carrot cake was hands down the best I have had in my life! The service was good, fast and efficient. If you are looking for a very good, but not inexpensive meal, we would absolutely recommend Harrison's.

We were lucky to snag an intimate booth right by the fire. Our server greeted us immediately and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local beer choices, which made me happy. For dinner, we opted for the chicken marsala, the lamb, and cheeseburgers for the kids. While the burgers were on the pricier side at thirty dollars each, they were generous portions that the kids really enjoyed. The food was generally tasty, though I felt the marsala sauce was a bit too thick, resembling a gravy rather than a traditional marsala sauce. We also felt the plate presentation could use some refinement, as there was quite a bit of empty space on the plates that left us wanting a bit more. Despite those small notes, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this spot for a cozy dinner in Stowe.

We waited about 15 minutes for a table. Not bad at all!! Our server was energetic and accommodating. She cheerfully answered all our questions and honored our request to get a margherita pizza as an appetizer. The aforementioned pizza arrived in no time. It was good. Not the best ever, but still quite solid. The star of the culinary show was the salmon entree. Both my wife and I got it and we both loved it. It was a big piece of wood fired salmon and came with a nice assortment of roasted veggies. I'm talking real veggies--zucchini, broccoli, fingerling potatoes, the works. Neither one of us are big drinkers, but there are LOTS of microbrews on tap if you're into that kind of thing. The dining room was lively without being too noisy. Both of us enjoyed hanging out there. It would be a great place to have a beer and watch baseball on TV. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

They have a huge stone furnace for the pizza. We were sat down right away as it wasn't too busy. We got the pick two lunch where you can choose 2 between soup, salad and mini flatbread. I ended up picking vermont maple sausage flatbread and soup. Soup was tomato base with some cheese. Strong tomato flavor and some acidity with saltiness of cheese coming through. It was good but maybe a little bit of cream or milk might balanced it out better. The pizza was pretty good. Can see the char from wood fire. Saltiness of cheese and hint of sweetness and savoriness from maple sausage pairs well together. Dough was bice and chewy and crispy on the crust Service was good and server was nice and attentive. Overall it's a solid place to enjoy wood fired pizza made with local ingredients. Good place for lunch or dinner. If you go for lunch Monday through Thursday the take two lunch option is a good value.
