The Vermont Country Deli

Having seen a popular TikTok video about their renowned Mac and Cheese, we felt compelled to give it a try. While it may not have been freshly made, the cheese unfortunately lacked the expected creaminess or stringiness. However, the slightly burnt edges were quite enjoyable. Their baked goods, on the other hand, were cooked to absolute perfection; the chocolate bomb and tiramisu were simply divine, melting in the mouth with every bite.

Wonder find on my New England Road Trip. My goal was to hit 4 states I have never been while on a trip to Boston. Rented a car and drove up and over. I was finding a hard time finding something that was truly interesting but I knew I wanted to eat and 5th in the list I found on line of things to see was this shop and deli! It’s two spots and both are simple and quaint and embodied the parts of Vermont that are purely good old fashioned quality and service! The ladies at the market were welcoming and helpful. The folks in the deli making and serving the to-go only food (they have some seating indoor and out to enjoy it but it will all come ready to go) were pleasant and friendly. Not the fastest but it was clear that was because of the care they took to make great sandwiches and ensure quality so I wasn’t mad at the wait at all. The sandwich I got was huge and the ingredients tasted very fresh and local, which, if I am correct it all is! I am very happy I stopped and would highly recommend a lunch here if you are near!

So many delicious looking food choices. It was a little overwhelming! Service was super friendly and helpful. We tried a little bit of everything: Maple BBQ,, famous mac and cheese, citrus beet salad, orange chicken and sesame noodles, and of course we had to get some of their sourdough and delicious cookies. They even sliced the sourdough for us. Everything we got was super tasty! Even the things we warmed up for leftovers the next day. Highly recommend stopping here if you're traveling through. They have something for everyone and even syrups, desserts, and dressings to take as gifts.

Vermont Country Deli is a must-try! I devoured the mac and cheese, chicken burrito, and kale salad - all were ridiculously delicious. My only gripe is the location; wish it were closer so I could visit more often! Parking can be a challenge, especially when it's busy, but the line moves quickly. Worth the trip, hands down!

An extremely cute place with a lot to offer. The market is great for coffee and gifts, whereas the deli is great for food and snacks. Highly recommend the sandwiches on sourdough bread with the aioli sauce! 10/10 lunch spot with easy access to the highway. Only “cons” of this spot are the parking situation due to the limited amount of spots for 2 stores and the fact that getting out of the lot can be a bit hairy. Additionally, when packed, the line at the deli can be extremely confusing. One side should be for the hot food, other side should be for the sandwiches but the checkout is also at the end of the sandwich line .. which is also where the bakery counter was. Many people asking each other where the checkout line ended / where the sandwich line began. Absolutely loved this spot though; will be back!

Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Mac and cheese exceptional, sandwiches were fresh, baked goods were yummy. Service was great, too.

Long wait but best wait ever! I had two meals here during my solo trip I was visiting the setu meditation retreat down the road. I got a chicken salad sandwich here which was so fresh and amazing and then during my departure I got the mac and cheese which was so worth the 40-minute wait in a long line.

I really loved this stop during out Vermont road trip. It has 2 buildings, one where the deli is and one for more cafe items. They had a huge selection of food at the deli ranging rom hot foods, snacks, and sandwiches. The sandwich line was a little slow, but it was because each sandwich crafter was dedicating their time to perfect each sandwich. I got the traffic jam on sourdough. I couldn’t decide which protein to try so I got a little bit of everything. It was well worth it. We also got their famous mac n cheese, very creamy and packed with enough cheese. I also wanted to try their pulled pork because they use maple syrup. Can definitely taste it. This place well worth the stop.

Such a charming spot; the perfect place for weary travelers to refresh themselves. Just be aware that there's probably going to be a line. Actually, when we went the line wrapped around inside the store and out the front door like a ride at Disney. We waited close to 25 minutes before we made it to the Deli counter, but that mac n cheese was worth it, and that super salad made with the vegan vinaigrette was sooo good! I almost ate the whole container in one sitting. We also bought some of that Miller Farm maple milk and I've been using that as coffee creamer since its so rich and creamy. Of course we bought Vermont cheese as well, and some desserts to eat later. If you want legit coffee and not from the machine, you have to walk over to the other building and there's a barista there making coffee and they also have all kinds of souvenirs for you to take with you as well as a clean rest room. The area around this country deli is so beautiful, you'd be happy just to find a nice bench and enjoy your food. I took pictures of the surrounding area to give you an idea. They say that part of the adventure is the journey along the way and this is definitely a stop you'd want to experience.

Line was well worth it! Workers work quick to get you what you need as soon as possible. I got the traffic jam which was loaded up and delicious. Also the cider donut woopie was soft and delicious. Would highly recommend this place. Good luck parking during busy hours.

This place happened to pop up on my TikTok feed while we were in Vermont. We wandered over to try out this "infamous mac and cheese". Sometimes it feels like the influencer is being paid for these reviews on TikTok but this place DID NOT disappoint! First know that the place is small, parking is a pain, and there's always a line once you finally get in. However, the line moves fast and the food is fantastic. The first time we visited we got sandwiches, the pulled pork, and the mac and cheese as well as some other random items. Everything was fantastic but the Mac and Cheese was top notch! It was by far the creamiest, cheesiest, most mouth watering I've ever tried. We went back sometime later for seconds. I swear they ruined Mac and Cheese for me. I'll never be able to enjoy it anywhere else.

I wish I could find words to really review this place but we weren't given the chance. No greeting or acknowledgement while we walked through or while we waited by the food case/register. Disappointed!!

Welp... I was over on IG a few months ago and saw a Reel of this place and specifically for their Mac n' Cheese - so ya know... I do my thang and drive all over kingdom come to try this Mac n' Cheese. It was legit! and I make Mac n' Cheese ala soul food style a/k/a #PattiLabelle recipe. I also grabbed some of their Pulled Pork, Potstickers, a sandwich and some cheeses. Because... WHY THE HELL NOT??!!! #wheninrome right?? LOL I was actually staying in New Hampshire so I needed to hit the road before I lost the sunlight. I had called a week before to inquire about muffins and was told they would place some on hold for me, which they kindly did. All of their baked goods looked delicious and the prepared foods was as if 'comfort' was what they had in mind. I shared the Mac n' Cheese & Pulled Pork with my big Sister and she called me later to say next time I'm in town she wants to head up that way and get some for herself! Respectfully Reviewed

Well... I can certainly see myself coming back. I knew this place existed and it was an instagram reel that popped up which sparked my interest. I have no reason to pull off the highway but now being a ikon pass holder and skiing at Stratton I am sure I will be popping in for breakfast and or dinner from time to time. I had a pulled pork sandwich, potatoes and squash. I ate it outside in my car and all could have been warmer. Still good. Grabbing some of that mac next time though as that is their big seller. Also took two slices of carrot cake home with me. Put them in the fridge and ate it for breakfast. A very tasty bite. World centric fork... That's a plastic fork. Recyclable. Durable. Sure their other utensils are the same too. All in all this was a perfect birthday meal at an affordable price.

Food was amazing, the cranberry turkey sandwich was perfect, as well as the carrot cake Whoopie pie. Was hoping for a better coffee selection though but can't complain about anything else

Got the traveling turkey sandwich, the baked mac and cheese, and a drip coffee. Everything was just okay. The baked mac and cheese is good, but it's nothing ground breaking. The social media buzz about this place has made it too saturated. We got there at 9am and it was BUSY. People were pretty rude; staff was nice and to the point.

this place is a mac and cheese heaven!!! I saw a tiktok about this deli and it had raving reviews so my bf and I stopped by on the way back from a ski day, and fell in love. We got the large mac and cheese, and went into the car to eat. As soon as we both took our first bite, we immediately went back inside to buy another tub. They also have a bunch of other food, like burritos and pasta, and a large selection of sandwiches on the menu. For our first visit, our only agenda was the mac, but next time we will try all the other things! The line was long, but it moves fairly quickly and the food is definitely worth waiting for.

Great stop for lunch. We love their traveling turkey sandwich . Bread excellent! All ingredients very fresh. Others swear by their Mac and cheese. Outside seating. Service good.

Excellent sandwiches at a little spot we discovered in Brattleboro,Vermont while driving to New Hampshire. The deli is MIGHTY extensive chalked FULL of baked goods including pastries, cookies & breads. Had to wait in line but well worth the wait! They also have a country store across the street from the deli. Bought a loaf of the sourdough bread ( which was great toasted) & ordered 2 delicious sandwiches, 1 Turkey & 1 salami & ham. Very good fresh marbled rye bread. All sorts of cold & hot salads. (Known for their macaroni & cheese) Prices were decent not extremely high. Street parking is limited when busy time of day.. A few tables outside the store. Wish we had this deli near us!!!!

The perfect choice if you're stopping in Brattleboro, Vermont. When you walk in the deli, to your right, you see a prepared, food counter, a sandwich, counter, and a dessert counter. You kind of work your way around the U-shaped set up and then pay at the cash register. I highly recommend the thing from the deli case. we had their outstanding macaroni and cheese, which was a real highlight. We also had their maple pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and then we picked up a selection of salads, including the beet salad and a sweet potato salad. Everything was excellent. Oh, and the Whoopie pie we got for dessert was the best I ever had. Not too sweet at all, which is usually my complaint about Whoopie pies. Something here for the whole family.

Wherever we went, people told us to stop at the Vermont Country Deli, so of course we did. Tons of food choices, we ordered breakfast sandwiches to go.. if I lived closer to VT, I'd probably be there 3 times a week.. a must visit!

I loved this place! I was doing a travel job in VT and thought I'd check out some of the famous Vermont Country shops (the store and deli). Well, I can easily say, this deli did not disappoint. Everything I read on the deli said the Mac n cheese was the best. So of course I bought the largest size. It was beyond divine with chucks of melted cheese throughout and a pleasantly seasoned flavor. I tried a few pastries too and everything was good. The butter tart and truffle were especially good. I was slightly disappointed with the chocolate ganache cake because the cake itself was dry. All in all, the deli is a cute little shop, packed with fun goods and excellent food. As I was checking out, the young lady who was helping me offered me either a bag or a cardboard box to take everything home in. I chose the cardboard box because I had purchased so much. She was very helpful and friendly. If you're in Vermont, it would be a shame not to go to a place this cute and get some goods or souvenirs!

Vermont country deli is our go to stop on the way up to Burlington or anywhere else in VT. The mac & cheese is a must have. I also always get a 1/2 (yes they serve 1/2 sandwiches) traveling Turkey sandwich so good on their homemade wheat bread. The chips are my fav Deep River brand. The dessert case is amazing and my husband loves the big peanut butter cookies, whoopie pies are a good choice too. Lots of VT candies near the register too. Parking can get a bit rough due to how many people stop here.

Thai place is so cute! Everyone was super nice and the food is to die for! We got the Mac and Cheese and the Pulled Pork. 10/10! Be sure to stop by!

As everyone else says - definitely get some Mac & cheese! The pulled pork is also delicious. I treated myself to a couple dark chocolate caramels & some very tasty, not overly sweet carrot cake. This will now be a routine stop for us on our to & from Vermont.

THIS MAC AND CHEESE IS LIFE CHANGING! If you find yourself nearby, you absolutely must stop for a taste of their prepared foods. We regularly visit for the Mac and cheese, sesame chicken, pot stickers, and Cesar pasta salad. I've never had anything just average here - it's all amazingly delicious! Their giant cookies (individually wrapped, and at the entrance to the store) cannot be missed! Service is fast, despite the never ending line out the door. There is no seating at this location, but you can walk across the street to grab a spot at one of the "Vermont Country Market" picnic tables outside. It is their sister store, which sells home items and prepackaged food.

Stopped here for lunch while driving to Canada. It was a cute little place. I would not advise coming here if you have a lot of people with you or if you're looking to sit down and eat but if you want to grab things and go, this is a great option. It took a few minutes to find a place to park as parking in front is very limited and the small lot across the street was full. We were finally able to snag a spot and went in to order sandwiches and some pastries. The line at lunch time was long but it moved pretty quickly. I had roast beef on sourdough. The sandwich filling was good, although the horseradish sauce could have been much stronger...as it was, I could barely taste it. The sourdough bread was very thick and chewy. It was great for holding the sandwich together but it was so dry and thick , it was hard to chew. A little thinner bread and it would have been much easier to eat. I sampled some of the mac and cheese, which was fine. Their desserts and pastries look great. I shared a cannoli cake and it was fine. We were able to find a spot at one of the picnic tables across the street so we didn't have to eat in the car. Overall, this is a solid spot. Sandwiches are pretty large so I would recommend sharing...that way you have more room for dessert!

The Mac and cheese looks great, but based on the posted photos, the sandwiches look pretty weak.

Came here on a road trip. Stopped for lunch and it was very busy. Good food. Brussel sprouts were mid and the mac and cheese was the burnt parts. The chili and pulled pork sandwich were definitely the winners. Would recommend as a fun stop!

We had mac and cheese, very good, Rt9 sandwich and ham and turkey on marble rye. Both very good. Fresh veggies and bread. Will be back!

We stopped by there on our way to Montreal Canada. It was a pretty nice deli. All the food looks so tempting. I wanted to order everything. I ordered a sandwich. Just fyi sandwiches are so very big. It would be more than enough for two people. Service was so great but it was pretty crowded. They managed pretty well. Ambiance, they don't have indoor seating. Only takeout or you can sit outside by the park. If I ever drive by there it will be the palace for me to order my sandwich.

We always make a stop here - even from 1/2 hrs. away! We try to not be hungry when we go, otherwise we are up in food trouble We LOVE the Mac n cheese, pulled pork, pot stickers and almost anything in the refrigerator case. Oh, don't miss the desserts - any fruit pies, or , anything in the dessert space. Not a fan of the large cookies tho.... You can see from above we are fans of the place even though it's a little pricey....

This is the best local take out place! The food is delicious! Specifically the Macncheese is good

I was in Brattleboro around lunch time hunting for a decent sandwich. I found the Vermont country deli. Not an overly large place but has many refrigerated display cases with delicious looking homemade items. I went with a roast beef sandwich on fresh homemade sourdough with a horseradish mayo, lettuce, fresh tomato, red onion and sharp cheddar cheese. Very good. Would definitely recommend. The deli has numerous sandwiches made to order and sides that were also homemade. They even had a wide selection of dessert and pastry to choose from. Definitely worth a stop and I'll definitely be back.

My husband and I discovered this wonderful little place when we were driving through the area. We stopped to get something for breakfast. I had a cinnamon bun which was fantastic, and my husband said his egg sandwich on an English muffin was the best egg sandwich he has ever had.

We stopped here on our way to Stowe to get some lunch. We were coming from New York, so this was almost right in the middle. We all got sandwiches, and they were amazing! They have a bunch of fun sandwiches on the menu, but you could also make your own. I created my own with a fresh roll, turkey, swiss cheese, banana peppers, lettuce, and horseradish mayo. It was made very quickly right in front of me, and tasted so fresh. They also have a lot of snacks and pastries, if you're looking for something small. We all really enjoyed it and ended up stopping there again on our way home!

Yup, you want to stop here. Wether you are on your way to ski and don't want to cook tonight or you left the mountain hungry this is it. Grab a quick bite to go from their delicious homemade menu. Good food made to fill your belly after a long day on the slopes. The perfect spot. Mac and cheese made with sharp Vermont cheddar is everything Mac & Cheese should be. Great soups and sandwiches and a selection of prepared foods in the case. Not to mention local goodies like cheese, maple syrup and drinks (alcoholic and non) The dessert case is a delight too, homemade pies and sweets. This stop is not to be missed with local goods for everyone in your car!

Amazing selection of delicious food and treats! Charming atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

This is a really cute place to stop by for lunch. The deli offers several great options for sandwiches, hot foods, baked goods, and beer and wine. The market is quaint and has a good amount of random little gifts and groceries to shop. My husband had the Travelin' Turkey Sandwich, while I had the Chicken & Black Bean Burrito. We both liked our meals - I was unable to finish mine because it was huge, but the flavors were good. We look forward to stopping by here every year during our travel to NH!

Great selection of foods, clothing, bedding, snacks, art, etc. staff was extremely helpful in finding products we were interested in seeing, even if we decided not to purchase.

Dear Diary, Today Kevin actually SMILED at me! he's so cute I could DIE! but I might ACTUALLY die when mom gets my report card, I swear Miss L. has it out for me, and even worse Kara got ALL of my friends to switch lunch tables and leave me sitting with that weirdo loud lucy, I can't stand another lunch with her yelling about how grandma brought her to a real music show. anyway diary, mom said I wouldn't get to have a sleepover with Elena tomorrow night if I did get to bed, 11 year old girl name OUT!

There's very good sammiches, chili, soups, pulled pork and mac & cheese, huge cookies, beer/wine/sodas. But imo the best things here are the whoopie pies. We got a seasonal pumpkin whoopie pie & a chocolate whoopie pie. The pumpkin one had a maple cream cheese filling that was light and creamy. The chocolate one had a light whipped filling that was perfect. Both cake parts were fresh & moist & so soft - the perfect texture. Being suckers for anything blueberry, I had to get the gluten free blueberry crumble. It ended up being like a crustless blueberry streusel pie! Loads of tiny wild blueberries, & oat streusel topping. So good! The friendly service here & the great food explains the crowded parking lot. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed a crisp fall picnic on a drive through Vermont! The sandwiches were amazing and the gluten free apple crisp was the best!

Vermont Country Deli seems to be a quintessential Brattleboro location. It's a perfect stop to pick up everything from a quick snack for a hike to a luxurious spread for a party. Everything is made with love and care. They actually have 2 stores right next to each other. There's a smaller market that has some souvenirs, coffee, and pastries. But what you really want is the larger deli, which is packed to the brim with every prepared food and grocery item you could want. They serve Mocha Joe's coffee. There's also a really extensive beer, wine, and cider selection. Parking is ample between the 2 stores. The Vermont Veggie sandwich ($5.99) had plenty of fresh crunchy vegetables, with tangy honey mustard on one side and creamy hummus on the other. I especially enjoyed the sprouts. Apparently their mac & cheese is pretty famous and almost every customer was ordering a portion. The dessert case is also pretty unbelievable. It was full of pies, cakes, tarts, French pastries, and breakfast buns. I treated myself to a peanut butter fudge brownie that was divine. The Vermont Country Deli is right next to the Creamery Covered Bridge (another tourist attraction) so you can mosey on over and eat your lunch with a nice view. Overall, this is a must-stop when in Brattleboro!!

I've driven by this place hundreds of times, and finally had the gumption to stop in. It's a nice little deli with a fun selection of stuff and the food looks great! In my experience, every time I try Mac and cheese in Vermont it's BANGIN. This was no different! I tried both the regular and French onion Mac and cheese-so good! And I got the veggie samosa too, while it wasn't too traditional-it was very good. Their sandwich selection looks awesome and I will try one next time. Same with the bakery. If there's a line-it's still worth it.

We tried the super food salad, mac n cheese, pulled pork, dumplings, & potato salad and all are a must!!! The food was all so good and the staff were so friendly. The combination of pulled pork and mac and cheese was perfection. I believe they had halal/kosher chicken as well! Very cute place, can't wait to come back.

We got two sandwiches; mine was the maple bbq pulled pork and it was yummy! The Mac and cheese was also the best I've tried since living in VT. The people were very sweet and caring. The space was well utilized with a lovely selection of gourmet and unique food and drinks. Both local, and imported. We'll be returning, and checking out their Market across the street too!

Ok so thank you fellow yelpers for writing excellent reviews for this deli! Because of these reviews I added The Vermont Country Deli to our list of things to do on our Brattleboro trip! First of all the hype is real! My husband and I went on a weekend during lunch time and it was packed! Many locals were saying how they come here legit every day for lunch especially for their mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese lived up to the hype for sure! It was extremely rich, creamy and cheesy! Definitely will fill you up but so so good! I got their roast beef sub with Vermont cheddar and it was so good! I loved how I was able to order a half size instead of a whole too! We saw the desserts displayed so beautifully and we knew we had to get one of their pies! We went with the mixed berry pie and oh my freaking god! That was the best pie I ever had! Soooo delicious! The two of us ate that entire pie in 2 days flat! Get this pie! If you're in the area or just passing through be sure to give The Vermont Country Deli a try! I know if we come back to this area again we will make this place a go to stop!!

This is the kind of deli market you need in every town and neighborhood! Fell in love with this place and the options. The atmosphere is delightful and all the workers showcased an amazing welcoming attitude. I got a built your own sandwich that was absolutely delicious, you can truly taste when the ingredients are fresh. We also got a variety of deserts, the chocolate bomb with flourless cake and mousse was my favorite. They also have a variety of warm food options that looks delicious but i didn't get a chance to try.

We received many suggestions to visit The Vermont County Deli on our day trip to Brattleboro, and it was a perfect spot to get lunch! Though it was very busy, the line moved quickly because of their efficient process. The I-91 Italian combo that my fiancé ordered was so good, he had my jealous that I didn't order it myself! I ordered a custom turkey sandwich for myself, and I loved that they offered Cabot cheddar. We had heard great things about their mac and cheese, and even though we had the last serving before their freshest batch came out, it was very good! Loved their selection of desserts and the quaint, country vibes. I would definitely stop here again!

Wow. I'm still dreaming about this sandwich. The gluten free roll- such a great chew to it and not at all dry, and had a nice cheddar flavor to it. I got their "half size" turkey sandwich (with cheddar and cranberry) and it was just the right amount of everything. I'm so happy they offer gluten free options now. Even their marketplace across the side street has some gluten free snacks as well (like grain free peanut butter filled pretzels)! The apple crisp is enough for two people and is so delicious warmed up. We stop by often on our way to visit family, but we haven't been in a few years... this is the first time I can remember finding gluten free options. So exciting. Even if you're not gluten free-- try the roll and thank me later!

The food was a definite 10/10 for me. I saw the Mac and cheese on TikTok so my niece and I decided to take a ride. From campton NH. The Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious, but the maple pulled pork was out of this world !!

Solid Sammie and hot food stop along the road en route to New Hampshire for the holidays with family. We left New Yawk en route to NH and the youngest son had fond memories of this place so we took a turn off the Highway for a bathroom and lunch stop. Nice selection of hot and cold Sammie's and baked goods including giant cookies, and bubbling hot Mac n cheese that they sell by the lb. Sammie's we're all tasty and fairly priced ($9-12) and the Mac n cheese was something like $3/# which translated to $16 for their biggest container which easily filled five adults. Great stop ! Thank me later. Go there.

The food is great! The mac &cheese and the Pork pot stickers are my favorite! The service is always good. I've been there 4 times and have never been disappointed.

Great sandwiches! Lots of other amazing options! The only downside is the parking situation. Not easy!

I might be wrong about this, but years ago, I used to go to a place with the name Vermont Country Deli or a similar name in Northampton, MA and I loved it. I remember ordering a turkey sandwich with apples and baked goods there. I felt a similar vibe when I walked into the Brattleboro Vermont Country Deli this weekend. I saw numerous things that would have interested me had I been there at a different time. They had a great sandwich menu, good looking desserts, tasty looking prepared foods, Vermont products and a cooler of cans of Vermont beers. It was a cute store and oozed charm. On this occasion, I just got a house blend iced coffee, various baked goods, a loaf of sourdough and maple taffy. The black iced coffee was good and balanced. My cranberry orange scone was tasty and had good texture. I bought two giant chocolate chip cookies for the family. Everybody loved the cookies, but my son pronounced his the best cookie ever and said he's willing to make the hour plus drive with me to buy more. He also liked the sprinkle-covered Rice Krispie treat. The maple taffy was soft and delicious. I haven't sliced the bread yet, but I'll update my review when I do. Five Stars for Vermont Country Deli. This review is based both on what we bought and the wide scope of great available products, presented in the atmosphere one pictures when they hear the phrase Vermont Country Deli.
