    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.

    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.

    Friendly staff , GREAT food , plenty of vegetarian /vegan options . Great Mexican style dishes def will recommend walking distance from our resort. Super cute ambiance .

    Mushroom salad with house queso fresco

    Chill spot in the heart of Stowe. Got the salad with mushrooms. The mushrooms were super tasty, making it a great vegetarian option in the area! (Probably vegan too if you omit the cheese.) The server was kind in answering our questions and helping with our order.

    We cannot recommend The Avocado Pit. We see the other reviews - are we eating the same food? The food we had was super greasy and somewhat overpriced for the portions. The online ordering system is confusing so we ended up with a burrito with no protein. The tacos were dripping with grease (see photo of residual grease in container). We know this is a popular local spot and we want to support it but the whole meal was unimpressive and we will not order again.

    Great food! Also the owner was incredibly nice and chatty. They have indoor and outdoor seating too.

    We are out-of-towners who were in the area to ride bikes, so finding the local bike shop was…read morepriority number one. I love when the local bike shop is *truly* a LOCAL bike shop, and not some generic conglomerate that has hired locals. We got so many excellent recommendations on where to ride, what to look out for, and any setup changes we should make based on our individual setups. For those who didn't bring bikes, renting bikes was quick and painless. They took the time to get us dialed in before we were off to ride. The merch was top-notch. My only (very minor) disappointment was that the green hat that I bought to match the jersey I also bought was a children's hat. I missed that at time of purchase and didn't realize it until we were back at our rental for the night. It's okay, I brought it back the next day and they were cool about it and let me swap my kids hat for a different adult-size hat, even though they didn't have any green adult hats. I wish we had a few extra days in the area, I would have loved to join some of the local group rides that seem to meet here to ride regularly. We did eat lunch here one of the days. It was so nice to eat outside. There was a good flow of people in and out, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly busy. We had a group of 8, and yet everything arrived just as quickly as we ordered it. I had a crunch wrap. It felt like a lot of food, but it hit the spot. If I find myself back in the area, I will definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

    Ranch Camp is a cool little restaurant and bicycle repair shop combo -- for real! I just wish the…read morefood was as good as the overall vibe and the amazing service we received. Let's start with what we enjoyed during our visit: the drinks were good... the atmosphere was cool (more like a contemporary "cabin" vibe, which was definitely inviting)... and the staff were all stellar!! Where Ranch Camp let us down on this visit was the food. In fact, we desperately wanted to love the experience because everything LOOKED fantastic. However, all the food we ordered was bland. It all started with the pork nachos, which our party of 3 ordered as an appetizer. It was piled high and dripping with ingredients... but the dish completely lacked flavor. The pork was perfectly tender but tasted flavorless (until I added hot sauce and salt). I would also recommend they serve the dish with pico de gallo or salsa to boost the flavor. We had the same feeling with the burrito bowls. Two of us ordered different burritos (opting for bowls instead of tortillas), and we both thought the flavor was just okay. And on top of that, both of our bowls were lukewarm. In fact, the entrées weren't even hot enough to melt the cheese. I wish I would have sent the food back, but we were in a bit of a hurry. Finally, my friend James ordered the Chicken Quesadilla, which he also thought was "just okay." Oh, and we noted that a table near us sent back food... so not sure what was up with that, but we we weren't surprised based on our overall experience. Final Thoughts: Prior to visiting Ranch Camp, I read plenty of reviews praising the restaurant, so I'd like to think that they were just having a bad day.
