"Had the Lemon Cake, Eclair, Carrot Cake and Keylime Tart. The Lemon Cake and Eclair were a big disappointment and unfortunately, this is my experience every time I go in the VCD. The chefs do a great job at presenting each item, though the cakes/desserts always lack flavor, depth and balance. The lemon cake was dense and had very little lemon flavor, and what flavors it did have didn't go well together... It needed much more acidity and flavor. The eclair wasn't fresh and the pate a choux was very, very soft and again, it lacked flavor. The carrot cake and Keylime pie were 3 out of 5 stars at best, and I'm being very generous. I've been a professional baker for over 30 years now and I always leave honest reviews. I will say that if I'm paying $6-$8 for a piece of cake outside of a city, I expect to get high-quality products. I think the VCD should take a closer look into their recipes and make adjustments where needed. I see that with much kindness and respect. Service has always been great and the atmosphere is nice, though pretty busy area with very limited parking. Very often, I choose not to go to the VCD because of the parking situation and quality of products. Thank you"

"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!"

"If you want a calm countryside lunch experience in Vermont this ain’t it. The lines were long and hectic, there was two lines one for hot foods like Mac and cheese and pulled pork and another line for cold cut sandwiches. We got in the sandwich line and had regret when we got closer to see the Mac and cheese and BBQ meats. The actual sandwiches were pretty good, just not great enough to justify a two hour pit stop for food. I got a sandwich called the Traffic Jam and that was just what this experience is, a complete traffic jam."

"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."

"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!"
