Honestly, the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Came here around 2 pm on a Sunday and ordered a…read moreVermont Turkey and a German Pork Sauerkraut. We were told it'd be ~20 minutes wait but we read the reviews and knew it could possibly take a little longer (it took ~45 minutes). We saw several parties come in and he actually had to turn some away, I'm assuming because it's only him working. For my Vermont Turkey sandwich, I asked for no mustard since I don't really like mustard but he told me that it's part of the secret recipe so I requested for light mustard. To my surprise, the mustard was really good and complemented the sandwich! Everything about the sandwich was perfect: the bread, the cuts of meat, the veggies. The sandwiches here are definitely a work of art and made the trip to Vermont very memorable!

Good to know. Lots of things in the menu I didn't recognize by name (would be nice to have photos of the food near each different item. But I went with the Dóner Kebab, which is basically thin sliced marinated meat placed in a thin bread (like a flour tortilla) with some pickled veg and it has Tzatziki sauce in a little cup that you can pour or dip. The meat was tender and flavorful along with the pickled veggies, made for a balanced 'sandwich'/wrap. I also tried both kinds of Baklava and each were good, but I like the original pistachio ones best. The server was nice and explained anything on the menu I had questions about. He was also from Turkey and was very knowledgeable about the food and culture. The atmosphere was open and welcoming, lots of Turkey images on the walls and the hanging lamps were cute. Will have to come again and try a few new/different items

Disappointed by the "breakfast burrito" I have should known better. Lily May's is a "warm-up…read morebreakfast" ala Starbucks. So why I would I think it would be better than Starbucks. The Battery St. Burrito is all over the flavor grid. I'm not from around here, but maple sausage doesn't want to hangout with the poblano chile...or at least where I'm from (E. Los Angeles). Service was great, and it's a lovely place to sip and drink your coffee. My thought is if it's cold and snowy out, then this the only place. But if you can make it to one the breakfast spots in the area, I would encourage you to do so.

I continued walking a few blocks and actually stopped to look this place up and see what it was - and immediately turned around and went back lol Such a unique space, I've never seen anything like it! Part fast casual sammiches, part buffet, part community center?? I could see why it was so popular! Everyone in this place just oozed good vibes! I went with the buffet which didn't have a TON of options but still had quite the variety especially for people that are vegetarian (I'm not but love some good veg options!). I don't even remember what all I got but it was a mix of some types of Indian dishes, chicken wings, various marinated veggies and salads. The wings were kinda meh but everything else was very yummy! They gave me a nice piece of bread to go with it and there was communal water in the center of the dining room. It was VERY affordable, I think my bill was around $15. Staff was nice and friendly, I can see why a spot like this is so popular! Definitely a unique find in Burlington!

We tried the eat the east breakfast sandwich ($11) and the vermonter sandwich ($16). I especially liked the vermonter sandwich and the bread it came on. The cafe also sells various bread items and baked goods. One thing to note is that since the cafe is counter-serve, seating is also first come first serve. We were able to snag a seat right as someone left, but for that reason I would recommend coming at a less peak time if able. August First is deservedly a busy spot in Burlington and I would be there often if I were a local.

Basically it's order at the counter and take it to go. There's mostly meaty choices, but they also have falafel among other things. Big selection of the usual kinds of deli sandwiches to get. It's basically just a place to go into and place an order. Then you wait for it and then you take it to go because there isn't any seating. Opens early. They also have a few breakfast choices like sandwiches that come with eggs and hash browns on these. It's about $11 for Mike's Falafel. This has the choice of coming with creamy dill or tahini. Rest of the menu is typical subs with meats. They also have one with hummus, as well as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Has a lot to get for a small ass deli. It's open early, and also is open later. There's a lot for meat eaters, and there's a few choices for vegans and vegetarians.

We were a little dubious by how filling the sandwich would be, but it held us over until the next meal. Reasonably priced, divey, but expect to come out smelling a little greasy after your visit!

I had great expectations because of reviews and I hate to leave a negative review on popular places. The cashier/server was friendly, and the place has a classic small American café vibe, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food really missed the mark for me. The "crispy cheese" just tasted burnt rather than crispy, and there were way too many greens--cilantro and parsley--which completely overpowered the sandwich. I also didn't care for the sauces at all. Overall, it wasn't a good sandwich. I didn't even finish it and ended up going somewhere else to eat. Between the long wait and the disappointing food, I don't think I'd come back.
