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.

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

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.

It's been a couple years since I visited town for one night before a bachelor party weekend at a farmhouse elsewhere in Vermont and was very pleased to find that the affordable hotel next door had a divey karaoke bar right behind it. All of the locals were friendly and fun to drink and sing along to their songs. While I did not try the food, I assume it would be just as excellent as the atmosphere, community, and the rather large selection of beer and liquor behind the bar. The owners are definitely doing their best to keep Vermont weird in the best of ways.

On paper, the concept of Alfie's is spectacular. An automotive shop masquerading as a watering…read morehole. For a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast who happily spends weekends wrestling with a stubborn transmission, this should be absolute nirvana. It has all the makings of the coolest venue in Stowe. Sadly, the execution is a tragic misfire. The primary reason for this failure is the owner, Chris, whose approach to hospitality borders on outright hostility. Our evening began innocently enough. I arrived with a group of ten friends, mostly local Vermonters in our late twenties and early thirties. My fiancée is thirty-three but routinely gets carded for looking younger. It is a perfectly normal procedure. She handed over her legitimate Vermont ID, it was scanned, and we proceeded to order. Then came our twenty-five-year-old friend, visiting from California. Upon inspecting his out-of-state license, Chris abruptly decided the ID was a forgery. Without a shred of preamble, he confiscated the card and unleashed a barrage of expletives, loudly demanding that our entire group leave the premises immediately. At first, we assumed he was joking. When it became clear he was entirely serious, we politely pointed out that our friend had a flight home the next day and strictly required his identification to travel. Chris responded by threatening to call the police. We actively encouraged this, calmly suggesting that law enforcement could easily verify the license and resolve the misunderstanding. Faced with a group of composed patrons actively inviting police verification, the owner seemed to short-circuit. He threw the license at us and continued to shout. As a bizarre parting shot, when one of my friends calmly asked for an explanation, Chris pointed at my fiancée and aggressively voiced his disbelief that she could possibly be thirty-three years old. Alfie's possesses the raw architectural potential to be a brilliant, vibrant space. Yet, if you walk past, you will notice it is often inexplicably dead. After suffering through this particular brand of toxic behavior, the mystery of its chronic emptiness is entirely solved. If you find yourself in Stowe, you would do well to keep your foot down and drive straight past it.

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.

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.
