Quality is still good, price and portion are askew…read more We came here as a quick sandwich bite on our way around the state. Service was good, and the ambiance is still lively. The still tastes good, with some exceptions. The frier oil seemed burnt, so the pickle chips we had just had that little bit of carbon taste on them. The pickle chips batter was very thick, and the mayo was the only respite. The sandwich, still tasty, seemed much smaller than normal, the meat still had good flavor, but the portion was lighter in comparison. The prices are also a bit high. The sandwich coming out to about 15 bucks. The bargain is very much gone now, and the portion is okay for a sandwich but pricy because of this shrinkage. Not shown are the overcooked onion rings. We returned those and the server promptly removed them from the bill. So really good customer service. I opted for a brownie for dessert, and the brownie was a disappointment. Too sugary, no flavor, gummy, and disappointingly small and thin. A detractor for sure. As a deli, it feels like it's on the decline. I know things are pricier now, but what you pay vs what you get doesn't match up. I'm hoping they pivot from this path, but right now it's no longer my go-to. It's still tasty, just pricy

I was HAPPY Great Harvest had a masks mandatory sign! Even if you are fully vaccinated, it's best…read moreto wear a mask inside public buildings because vaccinated people can still carry and transmit the virus--and they can still get a breakthrough case of Covid. Until we know more and until more folks get vaxxed so we can reach herd immunity, masks are important. So, the 5 stars is for the masks required and also for the wonderful bread. I have had G.H.'s bread in other locations, well, other states, actually, because Vernon is really out of the way for us. Bread is amazing and loaves are a good size. I also bought 3 sandwiches to enjoy with a friend, too, but was a bit disappointed as there wasn't much of the chicken salad filling inside them (unlike the photos which do show very fat sandwiches!) In addition, I'd like to suggest you open a shop in say, Cheshire, CT or Hamden or New Haven. You will have a very brisk business in these areas!!!!

My friend and I stopped by The Great Harvest Bread Company for a quick lunch. I had no idea this…read morewas a national chain, I have never heard of them before. This particular location is in a small shopping plaza in Vernon. The inside looks like an independent bakery. They have a huge assortment of breads, they can make sandwiches upon request or from the menu. Additionally they also make salads, cookies and coffee. I'll have to note, the two teenage girls working here weren't friendly, welcoming or capable of smiling, maybe they are new, but something needs to change. I got the Turkey Goddess sandwich on Wheat Seeded Bread. I also got an iced coffee. They serve Peet's coffee. This combo was only $13. This bread was very fresh, flavorful and covered in seeds. It was filled with tomato, onion, lettuce, Havarti cheese, avocado spread and turkey. It also came with a pickle, but it was way too salty for me. This sandwich was very filling, fresh and tasty. My friend got a similar one and she also enjoyed it.

I happened upon this quaint little bakery on my way for doughnuts for my girlfriends moms birthday…read more Decided to give them a go, and I must say it was a good stop! Going in I was greeted with a deli counter with pastries and the smell of fresh baked bread. The baker was curled up on a little rocking chair, cuddled in a blanket. Was the cutest thing I've seen, so had to pick up something. I opted for an assortment of pastries, letting the man behind the counter pick for me. I brought these home and had a little sampling with the girlfriend and the mom. Each one was flaky, almost to a fault due to the mess it made. filled with jams and preserves, sweet but not too sweet and varied enough to be uniquely tasty. All in all, not a bad little stop. Worth a try if you're in the area

Still pricy, still tasty…read more Gone a few more times over the year or so. It's a good bakery, stuff is always fresh and the flavors in each of their cupcakes, muffins, breads, and other misc bakery items is present and forward. They know that they are good, and charge accordingly. Given that there's no direct competition in a 10 mile radius (and I would argue even past that 10 mile radius the pickings are slim) the price is justifiable for the quality you get. As someone who treks a lot around the state, I find that there are many bakeries that do similar if not better items for comparable if not lower prices. But to ask someone to drive 30-60 minutes just to get something a couple bucks cheaper that's tastes about the same? It's a hard sale. I will say that Luanne's is the best in that area of the state, not including the small boutique places that are well off the beaten path. I still come here for the view and ambiance, but I don't order much of their food.

Still great pizza and meatballs…read more This is my good local pizza joint. There's quite a few in my area, but this one always seems to not only offer fresh dough but flavorful toppings and good sauce. Plus I like their meatballs, good consistency and solid sauce. It's not an apizza joint, not fancy nor homey. It's a to go shop with heart, and a solid choice for the area.

This is probably the best…read morepizza in Vernon (unless you're looking for Greek style which I hear they also have, but we didn't try yet...). We did try the regular NY style and some mozzarella wedges and I will definitely be back! The pizza was thin, but not floppy. Good amount of cheese and sauce. Reminded me of the pizza I had in college in NYC and westchester. It had good flavor. The mozz wedges were good, nice size, wish there was some more seasoning in the breadcrumbs but still they were good! Like the sauce. Gray experience overall. Next time I will try a different pizza and maybe some salad or a sandwich or pasta. The man working there was very nice, it was easy to order online. And $17 bucks for the large seemed reasonable. They do deliver within a 5 mile radius I think, which I didn't know so maybe we will do that next time. This place is definitely worth a try!

We got thin crust and extra cheese on both. The crust was lovely -- nicely thin and crispy with just enough heft to support the generous toppings, and enough bready goodness so it wasn't like eating a cracker. The toppings were all fresh, cut in perfect bite sizes, and not over-cooked. Cooley's Kitchen is a cute little place with friendly service. There were about 6-7 cozy booths for eating in. BYOB. Highly recommended!
