Amazing food selection, and such a cute shop, I instantly liked it, but the folks who work in there obviously have a severe dislike for service. Our family was not only stared down, and felt judged for every move, but we actually stood at the register I acknowledged and when my husband asked an employee A question she scoffed at him and looked like they would rather be doing jail time than helping you. Writing this in hopes that management does an overhaul of lazy and rude employees, i know the area has plenty of kind and underemployed people who would be delighted to have the job. read more

Lovely market! Only wish it was open a little longer each day. Friendly service and lots to choose from. read more

Winhall Market - Grocery Near Me - Bondville, Vermont

See all

My favorite store of course! Great staff great selection great owner! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Stratton area.

Took family snowboarding at Stratton. Nice looking place. Ridiculously expensive. Turkey sandwich was absolutely gross.

LEAVE THE CALCULATOR AT HOME. Very few items show the prices before you purchase them. This is a convenience store, and you will pay for that convenience. The prices at the register are about 20-40% higher than a standard supermarket. Okay, fine, but at least let us know before we get to the register. The gut punch and a clear indicator of CONTEMPT for the customer is the 10% HIDDEN DELLI CHARGE. Read this carefully, because this is not a comment on the deli prices, although $15 for a deli sandwich (it was good) is a bit high. The INSULT comes at the register again. You go to the deli counter and order a sandwich, you have no idea how much it will cost until you check out. You pay, then as you checkout the register touch pad asks if you would like to leave a tip, so as a good person you leave a few dollars tip. Then you get home and enjoy your purchase. Everything is fine. But a few days later you are cleaning out your pockets ahead of doing laundry and you find the receipt. Looking it over you notice there is a DELI fee of 10%. In addition to the tip you left for the (deli?) on top of the 3.3% fee you are charged for using a credit card. Your $15 deli sandwich becomes a $20.50 sandwich. So this place not only hides their prices, but also overcharges for everything, then on top of it you get charged an additional (UNDISCLOSED) 10% for the privilege of standing in front of the deli counter and picking out a sandwich. This is so unethical, and clearly indicates the owner's contempt for his customers. Treating unsuspecting visitors this way is a disgrace and gives our town a bad reputation. You might as well place a sign on the door that says "NO OUT OF STATE VISITORS WANTED" STOP THIS ridiculous extortion and be honest about your business practices. Be clear about your prices and stop robbing our visitors who are the life's blood of our town. This owner also has a few other properties around town, make sure you review your receipts and try to plan ahead so you don't need to shop there. read more

Winhall Market - UNDISCLOSED FEES AT CHECKOUT. - Grocery Near Me - Bondville, Vermont

The Winhall Market was great before previous owner took over, now most all of the prices have disappeared & fees added to deli orders (see other reviews) ??!! Not sure how this is legal, they do same at their Stratton Mtn Market & Deli where the 'no prices' explanation is always changing & attitude usually not good. I was angrily told by previous employee when asked why no prices...how do you expect me to do that with all of these unopened boxes!? What a shame, they could net more $$$ being honest & friendly!! "You attract more flies with honey than vinegar" !! This is VERMONT!! read more

the woman working on Monday July 29 at 6:30 PM was incredibly rude and judgmental. She judged me for my food purchases and called me weird for purchasing ice cream on a Monday night completely unprovoked. then she proceeded to make a joke about my purchases to the customer behind me in line. You just lost a customer for good. I will not be back to this overpriced rude business again. read more

The was nothing more then a sandwich with lettuce tomato and cheese not a Italian grinder so disappointed. This is a nice little store. Just not for. Grinder read more

A dump! An overpriced tourist dump... 90% of merch can be bought at a dozen other places cheaper. When choosing meat make sure to avoid the brown stuff. read more

If it weren't so expensive i would shop here all the time. It is definitely a place that leaves you feeling like you stepped back in time. It is cozy, charming and fun. The sandwiches are excellent and the wine section is superb. Overall it is a great place to check out, run by great people who have a wealth of info and Vermont charm. read more

I agree with the other reviews about price. I also had the older female described by others as my cashier, and am an "out of towner" and had an excellent experience. Granted I am a friendly person, but I was greeted with a smile and had pleasant passing conversation as I checked out. I just wanted to let people know that's it's not always a bad experience here, I've only been treated well! read more

The Winhall Market does a niece job providing the basic necessities to the locals and visitors at Stratton mountain. They have all the essentials as well as a small deli that makes a pretty good sandwich. Surprisingly strong wine selection! read more

Heads up: the older female cashier is not amenable to visiting spenders. While ringing up a local fellow, she commented that "they" were all back again, rolling her eyes and sighing looking around at the shop packed with shoppers visiting the mountain for NH, NY, NJ, MA, saying "it's that season again." Every time I've been to the shop, she always has some similar snide thing to say as an aside to someone on the line with whom she is familiar. Another friend from NYC who also has a house noticed this woman's behavior as well and thought she might have just imagined it. She felt much better when I made mention of this cashier's flippant comments. It's unfortunate that she personally does not appreciate the custom of visitors to her workplace and that the shop is poorly represented by her venomous 'tude. She is the only fly in the ointment at this otherwise welcoming and well stocked shop. Solid selection of high end eats and local delights. -Grandma Miller's homemade pies -San Marcos Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce -It's Arthur's Fault! Tonkats Sosu to name a few. Butcher selections and seafood are very fresh, if very spendy. In fact, everything in the shop is very spendy, but you're in a resort town. The staff at the back deli, meat, seafood counter are super helpful and will special order for you fresh what they do not have on hand in stock. Shop closes at 6pm so be sure to swing by after you end your run at Stratton Mountain. read more

Super cute shop with all your basic necessities and some extras. With such a nice atmosphere, you'd expect the workers to be a bit friendlier! As other reviews mentioned, the older lady at the check out counter was not friendly one bit. Not a hello, how are you, or even a smile. Why so grumpy? These people keep the business alive. Not sure if she's the owner or what but it's quite disappointing to see the way she acts with everyone. I'd recommend the place just be prepared for the attitude of some of the workers. read more

Sure, it has the basics, but the service from the store manager especially is horrific. For a small town store that supports a local community, you would assume that she would be grateful for the local support. Rather, she's frowning constantly, unappreciative and rarely willing to help. This week ( Christmas week), she was telling people she was closed 10 minutes before... which normally is fine, but when your the only shop in town during the holiday season a little flexibility would be appreciated. The people coming in from out of town keep you in business and so there should be a bit of flexibility during this time... yet since the store is the only show in town, Winhall can operate in whatever way it wants. I really wish there was another alternative. read more

Tiny little place in Vermont to pick up beer / wine / groceries. Very Vermont style and attitude - I've got all day. I would criticize this place in that you can't pick up meats, you have to wait at the "deli" counter to get ground beef along with other deli items. It takes forever, but so does finding anything in this place, so I guess its just par for the course. I guess just don't plan to run in and run out and you'll be OK, but I guess thats why 7-Eleven is across the street. read more

The market has all basic needs + prepared food but the staff is consistently unfriendly and rude. Not to mention, management charges $10 for a case of water..... read more

The selection of pre cooked takeout is weak. It used to be great several years ago, especially the rotisserie chickens. Grocery selection is ok and they have a nice selection of gluten free Products. Bring back the good home cooked food. read more

Food is good but the attitude towards out-of-towner's is terrible! The staff tends to be so rude considering that it's the visitors who are keeping their little goldmine alive. I understand that there are rude visitors who they don't want to deal with, but when they want to charge an arm and a leg for basics that only "tourists" can afford, they need to learn to serve with a smile. While the prepared foods are good and convenient, do yourself a favor and go to the IGA in Londonderry if you need to stock up. read more

Only a few things to add to Maria W's previous review: - We didn't have any issue with the counter staff. In fact it was summer, and they saw traffic flowing, and just stayed open past 6 for as long as people kept showing up. I didn't get any "you're not locals" attitude. - Some stuff - like ice - is actually cheaper than the 7-11 across the street. Yes, we did buy a Grandma Miller pie. And it was excellent. read more

I must say, I LOVE the prepared food here. Restaurant quality. However, for the price you pay, you may as well just go to a restaurant. It is at the base of Stratton Mountain, so one would expect to pay a bit more, but this place is ridiculous. Example: the sell diapers in a package of 10 for the same price that a full package of diapers sells for anyplace else. If you find yourself in this area and in need of something, do yourself and your wallet a favor and head a few miles down the road to the market in Jamaica. It is stocked with far more items, and the prices are much more reasonable. read more

I'm from NJ and was traveling through town for work. I stopped in to get something to keep me from getting hangry and ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies! I loved the variety and they had so many gluten free products - I was blown away! One of the many things I bought was an amazing sub with gluten free bread - it was delicious! Also the people working there were very nice and accommodating. Wish I had a place like this where I live. read more

Winhall Market - the front of the building - Grocery Near Me - Bondville, Vermont

The quality of food and reasonable prices make this a must shop food market. Sensational quality and super nice people! read more

I'm not sure where all the bad rep came from, but I found staff to be friendly and helpful and selection - quite decent (for a small mountain town); in particular there were a lot of very good cheeses. read more

Take the time to drive anywhere else except Jamaica, where there is a similar store filled with rude employees and overpriced everything. If you are on the mountain save yourself the time and aggravation and pay the extra 50 cents for eggs at the market in the village. If you are off the mountain there are plenty of places to shop, like IGA and Shaws. read more

Windhall was just OK. While the breakfast sandwiches were better than I expected, the service wasn't. As a little small town mom and pop shop, I expected friendliness and kindness from the staff. My 4-year-old daughter needed to use the bathroom and they wouldn't let her. I understand there are policies not to let customers use your restroom (when you serve food, I'm not sure why though) but to tell a little kid they have to cross the highway to pee in a port-a-potty knocks off a couple stars for me. And as far as the staff, the women at the front seemed kind of stuck up and had a better-than-you attitude. Needless to say, the breakfast sandwiches were good and filling. They have a handful of grocery items here, as well as knick knacks and Vermont-made goodies, and wine. Prices are high, but I think thats' expected. It's one of the closest delis/markets off of Stratton Mountain Village as well. read more

Good sandwiches on the way to or from skiing when you don't want to wait in the lines at Stratton.

Pricey which is to be expected near a ski resort but the reason for two stars is the service. My wife went there at 6:15 pm (they close at 7 pm) and found out that the deli closes at six. We could not find any reference to that on the website. The two women standing there acted like they could care less. We asked for some ham and one of them turned away from the tv long enough to say the deli was closed then went back to watching. If they had the deli open we would have spent quite a bit more buying sandwich meats, instead we purchased hot dogs and left. They weren't rude but you could tell they wanted to get out of they and weren't interested in delivering quality customer service. read more

My daughter and I were in the market a few times. The deli service is very good and the people are lovely and friendly. The sandwiches are filled and made with care and handed to you with a smile. There is a very nice and genuinely friendly woman at the cashiers. The younger cashiers are also pleasant. The only downside is there was a woman who followed us and I mean followed us around the store. She kept giving me the once-over. I think she felt we were there to steal. She has done this before to us. Don't let this stop you from visiting the deli. Great selections and deli people. read more

Like a lot of others, we were excited to do some camping on Stratton Mntn and stopped at this store to stock up on a few groceries. After entering and not receiving one single hello or smile from any of the employees who looked right at me, I picked out a few items and made my way to cash out. The women behind the counter was extremely rude to me, basically yelling at me to see my ID because I was buying beer. Certainly I do not have an issue showing my license but her attitude was unnecessary. While she was loading my items into a bag, I put my basket back (2 steps away from the cashier counter) and the woman behind me in line took my place at the counter so I didn't have any space to sign my receipt or grab my bag of groceries. Of course the woman behind the counter didn't ask the other customer to stand back until I was finished. Overall the store has good (yet very overpriced) food but I left feeling incredibly disheartened about the people of the green mountain state and regret giving them my business. read more

Not family friendly. After a long drive to our first visit to Stratton, my family and I stopped at the market to stock up. As we entered, not a greeting was uttered by the five or six employees there. The woman who packaged my meats smiled not a bit. But I nonetheless kept shopping, accumulating several hundred bucks worth of stuff. Then my wife told me my six-year-old daughter was in emergency status. So I told her to ask someone where the bathroom was. She said she was told that there was no public restroom. I advised my lovely wife to tell someone else that our little girl was gonna pee herself. And I was told that everybody in the place had denied her. So I went toward the man who appeared in charge--at least it seemed that way by the way he was watching me to see what I would steal--and asked very politely if my daughter could use the bathroom. He told me point blank that they didn't have one. So after a confirming glance at my wife, I set the groceries in the floor, picked up my daughter, and left. And if my wife would have allowed it, I'd have encouraged that emergency to be remedied on the store's front porch. If you value family, stay out of this dump! read more

Have been going to this market for 30+ years and it's always been very reliable for basic groceries and a first-class deli. Unfortunately, it appears that they are under new ownership again or something because the deli sandwiches we got recently were really disappointing. The bread and the ingredients weren't the same we're used to. They also appear to have pushed Frito Lay out entirely as there aren't a lot of options for snacks other than Cape Cod chips which are great but we could use some variety. read more

We discovered this gem while camping in Vermont. It looks small from the outside, but inside holds everything you need -- from the caesar salad-to-go, to great wines, to charcoal lighter fluid, maple syrup gifts, and style-your-own deli sandwiches. Stopping here saved us a trip to the local IGA. We'll be back. read more

I could not be more impressed with the quality of the food, selection and staff. Truly a great experience.
