Our experience with Tuckerbox was not particularly great. It started with us trying to open an umbrella outside, and have another guest, not a staff member to help. Then, we found out that that particular umbrella was broken. Another table was offered to us, which was still dirty, after a group of customers had left. We stood for a while, waiting for someone to clean the table, which they did, just sweeping the crumbs away, and promptly put water glasses upside down on the barely clean table. (I am writing in the time of COVID). We asked for new glasses, and explained why; the waitress tried to put the new glasses down on the same unwiped table, also upside down. One of the dishes we ordered was not available, also we found a hair in one of the dishes! No compensation was offered for that, barely an apology. The food without the hair tasted good, we had a quiche. read more

Food is super fresh and delicious! Also the pistachio latte is too die for! Service is also fast and friendly.

We went here after a friend recommendation. Really good food! Not sure how authentic the Turkish food is since I haven't eaten a lot of it but it tasted delicious. The ambience is good enough with some fun Turkish elements. We ordered the zucchini fritters for appetizer and the chicken shish kebabs for entrees. And to top it all the Turkish coffee was simply amazing!!! Also my husband tried the River Roost IPA (it's locally brewed)beer and he loved it. read more

So good. You won't be disappointed. I rarely write reviews, but wanted to send a shout out to this place as we had such a wonderful experience. The drinks were amazing and the food so delicious. Didn't order apps or dessert, but cleaned our plates and will definitely be back. The vibe and service were also exceptional! read more

it was good but is a bit hit or miss now. just ok food, it seemed better a few years ago.

We went for dinner on a recommendation of a friend from Woodstock. Long story short - WOW. Of all places... rural Vermont has an authentic Turkish restaurant that rivals food we had in Turkey. We ordered most items on the menu as we were 5 people. Service was outstanding on top of the great food. A must go spot if you are skiing in the Killington area! We had an amazing night there. Thank you. I hope everyone related to the owners of the restaurant is safe as I am posting this review after the horrifying earthquakes that rocked Turkey. read more

This restaurant was absolutely delicious. We were happy about the vegan options, and would encourage the restaurant to have some vegan options for the kabobs. Friendly waiters and nice decor. Good for a date. read more

Couldn't have picked a better spot for our last meal in Vermont before heading home! It was lunch hour when we arrived and there was a very short wait, which was to be expected. The place was packed for a good reason! Everything we ordered was delicious, from the stuffed grape leaves to the PLT to the baklava. Even the matcha latte! I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I were ever in the area again. read more

Tuckerbox - eggplant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - White River Junction, Vermont

We had a group of ten for a post wedding dinner for my niece. The food and drinks were excellent. The service and ambience was welcoming. Some of the items we ordered were Turkish meze plates, lavash bread, doner kebabs, shish kebab, vegetable stuffed eggplant, baklava, coffee. Overall the food was very good. Very nice place. Will certainly visit next time we are in the area. read more

We had lunch at this place on our drive back from Vermont. We were at the reception by 12:00 pm and it took the the receptionist half an hour to find a table; and this was when the restaurant was only half full. I don't even want to guess how long it would take on a busy day. I had the falafel wrapped in lavash bread and the zucchini fritters. Food was great! 5 starts for the food and zero for the confused receptionist. read more

Tuckerbox - Falafel wrap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - White River Junction, Vermont

See all

I was very disappointed in the falafel wrap. The falafel were dense, dry, flavorless blobs (3) in an enormous wrap with a few pickled onions. A Middle Eastern restaurant with bad falafel??? In all fairness, the wrap was fresh, soft and tasty but I pulled about a third of it off because it was totally out of proportion to the filling. The yogurt sauce was thin and sparse, served on the side. On the positive side, my friend's red lentil soup was delicious and her salad looked great. A big negative was that our bill must've been inaccurate as we later added it up- one wrap, one soup and one salad, no drinks or dessert shouldn't have added up to that amount. I gave the waiter, who did not check in to see if we were happy with our food, friendly feedback about the falafel. He apologized, assured me that he'd pass my feedback on to the cooks asked if he could get me anything else, which I declined. He nicely presented me with some tasty baklava to go to make up for it. The space is beautiful, I just wish my confidence was higher to want to go back. read more

My in-laws like this place, it's cute. Also, very, very loud. The restaurant is a hipster place w/a well -practiced chalk artist to write the barista menu. The servings, as others have mentioned, are small--the mezze platter for 4 at $19 is what a NYC mezze platter for 2 at $14 would be--2.5oz servings of hummus, babaganous, etc. I didn't try this because, per them, EVERYTHING IN TURKEY IS MADE WITH BUTTER. I get it, I am in VT. In Istanbul, Turkish food isn't all made with butter, but what do I know. In Germany, butter capital of the world, butter doesn't finish the lamb on the doners we ate daily, but here in VT, everything is finished with butter. And the puffed flat bread served with the mezze? Drizzled with butter, but hey--I could eat the carrot, celery, and cucumber slices! Thanks bud. The server also offered salad as an option. Obviously, I go to restaurants with cuisines specializing in lamb (they were out of shish) & eggplant so I can order a friggin salad and rabbit food. The octopus "without butter" was bland and chewy over unseasoned, grilled vegs. I was pretty sure it had been drizzled in ghee, as my mouth was getting coated with that mouthfeel one only gets from butter. I had Benadryl in the car. The imam biyaldi was undercooked and bland. The garlic was raw. There was zero salt. Zero spices. Reminded me of the crappy food I had in an Ethiopian place when "no butter" translated to "make for English people from the 50s--boil the crap out of unseasoned food, drain the flavorful water out of it, then serve". Maybe butter magically transforms this slop into something tasty? Butter is good for those who don't break out in hives from it, but butter is NOT a savior to bland food--that's mustard. The onions, salad, and roasted potatoes didn't even have a squeeze of lemon. I saw 3 flakes of sumac, but it was the flavorless version. The onions? These you could serve to Queen Elisabeth as a prank, and even her discerning palate wouldn't have noticed onion. At a certain point I asked for crushed peppers from the super hyper busy servers. It's one of those places that specializes in making everyone appear really flustered and busy. I can get you a pepper grinder. No, crushed peppers. Seriously dude--do you have a hearing issue, or are you simply a haughty server with mistaken belief that you're somehow special and smart and know more what the customer is saying than their crystal clear words? Ffs. The koefte and kebabs were not as bland as everything else. My in-laws paid well over $300 for this meal. I popped a Benadryl in the car after lamenting my meal. The service is slow but the servers appear rushed. The food is bland. Allergies are ignored. "How's everything" is the standard bs that is the opposite of VT's hospitality with the "good morning" one says to the neighbors, to which they honestly smile and return the greeting warmly. Here, it's "I am paid to say this useless phrase I don't mean & I couldn't care less about your response because I would NOT actually do anything to make your disappointing meal any better". If you don't get out much, this place must be a vibrant treat. My kids, who can each eat a rack of ribs and finished off their own kebabs last month in Heidelberg and OUR lamb plates on Friday, only ate half of the food on the kids' plates (doner w/butter rice or breakfast potatoes). The server thought to ask if we wanted the fancy ginger ale or Canada Dry for our 6 year old, but didn't listen to our answer and brought the fancy one anyway. Meh Update: The owner decided that any food I must have eaten elsewhere must have been from a can or not freshly prepared, as his staff prepares everything from scratch, and his chefs have trained and worked in Istanbul & NYC. Food for thought: 1. A person can train & apprentice in Paris, Istanbul, Vancouver, & NYC, and still make bland food. Whether something is authentic or not is completely subjective. 2. Other chefs/cooks can and do make food from scratch, serve food efficiently, AND know how to respect allergies. 3. I'm not the first and won't be the last to note that your servings are tiny, prices high, have some less than stellar servers. 4. I do wish your restaurant well, but won't be returning. My meal was a disappointing disaster, but hope you do understand that the reviewing public is generally honest. read more

This is my 2nd visit in 2 years. I wish I lived closer. Both times I've stopped in for lunch, the first time opting for a sandwich (don't recall which, but it was good) and today trying the Pastirma & Eggs with a side of bacon and a side of cut veggies. The pastirma was something new to me and extremely delicious. The home fries were just salty enough and cooked to a perfect golden crispness. I'm so happy I stopped in again. One word of warning, while their posted hours say they're open until 3, they actually serve until 2, then close at 3 after patrons have finished eating. Anyway, totally worth the stop. read more

Amazing Turkish food. So so good. Food is spiced with love and awakens our Mediterranean tastebuds.

It's been 4 years since my last review, so we decided to give it a other shot. The meze platter was delicious, would definitely recommend. The doner wrap was fresh tasting and the pickled cabbage was a great flavor. The pachanga borek was tasty. The falafel balls were our least favorite- they were underseasoned and pasty- but the rest of the meal was nice. The watermelon spritzer was absolutely delicious. For dessert we had the Turkish pudding and the kunefe, and it is hands down, the best dessert we've ever eaten in the upper valley. I would go here again, just for dessert. read more

Oh my goodness. This place is amazing. Everything I ordered was so over the top good. Best chai I've ever had. Wonderful breakfast. Evrything was so flavorful. Get in your car right now and check it out. read more

Excellent food and terrific atmosphere in a quaint town. Lots of vegan options and super drinks and wine

Owner seemed very nice and genuine- and the vibe was pleasant. Beautifully decorated and smells great! Too bad the portions were so small and the price so great. Our server was less than helpful and we ordered poorly. Would have been nice to be told everything we asked for was so similar. There were other options that looked great and after one minute passed post ordering we saw another table and hoped to change our order. We were denied. Couldn't help but think the waitress could have helped us if she wanted. None the less our kabobs came, small and very pricey. The experience was underwhelming. So disappointing and pricey!! Really a shame, food seemed decent, but we never really had a chance to find out. And for $100 for two with one glass of wine I doubt we come back. read more

Unique (for this area) selections, all quality dishes, everything made in house. Food is well seasoned, but not too spicy. My unadventurous niece was able to expand our horizons a bit. I like the selections, easy to have a light meal or fill up. Good wine, great breakfast items, we're lucky to have them in the Upper Valley. Service was great. Always a treat to come here. read more

This little restaurant in White River Junction is really cute and hip. The decor was nice on the inside - very coloful and comfortable with tons of seating. I like that they have a bar/bar and coffee bar. The menu was pretty good with lots of options for everyone. We got a breakfast plate, chicken wrap, and a grilled cheese sandwich. The food was tasty but unfortunately not exceptional. The service, however, was great. read more

I love Vermont. I really do. Cute cafes where I can get work done that have wi-fi are only a bonus - and a good one, at that. My only question is this: WHY YA GOTTA BE SO RUDE?????????? I'm from NYC. I get rude all day and all night. I get that the kitchen closes at 2pm (which sucks, btw, if you haven't eaten lunch and happen to arrive at 2:05pm). But don't give me crazy 'tude about how I have to eat somewhere else, and then passive-aggressively boot me. I'm here to give you my business, to drink your coffee and eat your scones and relax like everyone else. There are nicer ways to inform patrons that they can't bring outside food in. Also, if you decide to stay and would like to read, you're going to have to request that they turn the lights on (good luck with that). And it was so cold that my friend and I both had to wear scarves and down jackets. Inside. HULLO. There are other cafes nearby. I'll be going to those instead. There's good coffee all over Vermont, people. read more

Disappointment after trusting yelp reviews. Portions are small and not worth the price mostly because of lack of real meal options. Call it breakfast place only and it might work. It is lacking variety. Coffee and tea are subpar. Desserts are from supermarket. Eggs I got were undercooked. Desserts are made of cheap ingredients. Even grilled cheese sandwich besides its size doesn't make it taste better or better deal. Not coming back. It is Americanized version of Turkish food that lacks a flavor. They didn't even have dried fruits in their menu. And yeah it wasn't busy at all for Saturday afternoon. You need no reservation. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem serving some of the most flavorful, fresh food we have eaten. The staff were quite knowledgeable about their dishes and helped Us choose a variety of plates. The Shepherd salad was so fresh and delicately seasoned. Don't miss the fresh lavash, light and fluffy right out of the kitchen. The chicken kabobs were amazingly seasoned, with a nice char yet still juicy, and a little heat to finish it off. We shared almond pudding, a tad loose with crunchy almonds which we enjoyed very much, and baklava - not too sweet, just enough syrup, perfect with their hot tea. This family run business is doing it right. We will be back again, and save our appetite for some of the other enticing dishes. read more

I have visited Tuckerbox during three separate visits to Vt. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly and very convenient if you are waiting for a train as I was. Admittedly I have not been here for dinner, only breakfast, and they are known for their dinners. Their American coffee was okay and their muffins were good as well. I was disappointed, however, that a Turkish restaurant did not offer simit, pocha or other Turkish baked goods for breakfast and the one borek I saw listed was about $7 - they are $2 on Kings Highway in Brooklyn! read more

The Maple Latte is delicious! The new owner is great. I also enjoy their daily scramble. They have a variety of choices daily. I would suggest that you give Tuckerbox a try. read more

Great Turkish cuisine in a friendly, low key atmosphere. Second visit. And we'll be back !

Needing a pit stop for healthy lunch food, I turned to Yelp and this place had enough (recent) positive reviews. On the plus side, the coffee is excellent. I ordered a dirty chai (which was not in the menu but very doable by making a chai and adding a shot of espresso) and it came out hot and in a round handled mug that I could wrap my hands around. Yay! On the minus side, I wanted something light and ordered their Shepherds Salad which was advertised as tomato and cucumber with assorted seasonings in a lemony dressing. Now, I've eaten many tomato cucumber salads, usually at Greek restaurants, but this one was about 7/10 tomato and 3/10 everything else. I wanted bigger slices of cucumber, not the tiny slivers I got. I also expected, from other places, more of an even distribution of tomato to cucumber. Nope. At $8, I was unimpressed and despite eating nearly an entire tomato it didn't fill me. This is why I'm giving my review only four stars. read more
