Typical "I love VT" t shirts and stuffies in the window, $400 syrup, and artsy cards and candles etc. Making our way to the back was a small nook of seats and tables and a breakfast/sandwich/bagel menu. To say we were skeptical was an understatement. My son ordered a Southwestern steak and egg sandwich on a rainbow bagel. I had a dill pickle chicken salad sandwich on an everything bagel. Add in a coffee, a hot chocolate, two cans of Diet Coke (and a small cheesecake round for my son) and we were all set. Menu was way more reasonably priced than we expected. Average bagel sandwich (which they fill amply) was roughly $10. All of the fillings were very good. Well seasoned. Creative. Again, exceeded our initial expectations. Even the bagels were surprisingly good. Please note I grew up in NJ so a bagel is essentially unattainable to me north of the Tappanzee Bridge. I was expecting "airport quality," however, it was not half bad. Chewy and tasty for the area. Service left me with two very distinct feelings. 1) the people were AWESOME. Friendly, attentive, seemingly happy to be at work (a rarity). But... 2) there were 6 total customers in the store (some simply reading books) and yet it took 16 minutes for our coffee and hot chocolate and roughly 30 for the sandwiches. Was so weird to experience the quiet of the store - yet the ticket time and wait of a bustling morning at a deli. Oh well. Was a pleasant place to be. Will likely find a different place next week following our upcoming appointment. But was not mad at the experience.

An array of beverage coolers from juices to beer, as well as a smoothie bar, coffees and espresso is available.

We lucked out when we arrived and snagged the last open booth. Service was quick, with our drinks and food arriving fast, and I loved seeing a selection of hot sauces right on the table. Not pictured is the cinnamon roll we split because it was too good to wait for a photo. The Texas burrito and chili got rave reviews from my dining partner, and my omelette was solid, though interestingly assembled. The fillings were layered rather than chopped and mixed throughout. Once I cut it all together, the flavor came through nicely, and the home fries were great. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already eyeing a few other dishes to try next time.

Some items are extremely expensive for what you get, but there are reasonable options. The house-made hummus and curried chickpeas are good values. Breads vary widely.

Would be five stars if they had some less expensive pre-made or MTO sandwiches.

Visiting Bennington for the first time. While this isn't your standard NY style, I really enjoyed the crispy and airy crust. Sauce is a straightforward, basic tomato sauce, but toppings are of good quality and tasty. What we ordered: - small Greek salad w/ creamy Greek dressing: (4) Quite tasty. The feta made the salad. I wish the olives were pitted. I didn't realize they weren't until I bit into one. Oops. - 10" cheese: (4) pretty simple pizza. The misses liked it and she is a fan of simple cheese pizzas. - 10" the whole shebang (4.25): I am a fan of the crust and the toppings were perfect. Could have split this, but me and the misses like different pizzas. Some seating inside and a lot of outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Ambiance gave us the pizza parlor vibe.

Through our adventures in Bennington, we eventually found our way to the Apple Barn. Such a cute stop for some souvenirs and treats. We ended up coming by about 90 minutes before closing. As we headed toward the back of the shop to see if they were selling creemees, we saw they had samples of apple donuts out. They were tasty, but definitely could tell they were made earlier in the day as they were not too fresh. We assumed they were probably trying to clear out their inventory for the day. We eventually found the soft serve machine and ordered a maple creemee. I should start by saying that I'm not a big fan of maple, but if I'm going to try a Vermont creemee, I had to order a maple one. It was perfect, great texture and just a hint of maple taste. My husband asked to try it and he ultimately claimed it as his own, so we ended up buying a second one. So good! Service was okay. We got a weird vibe from the lady who was helping us. She seemed annoyed and very short while we were checking out the food and trying to order our creemee. Maybe because they were going to close soon? Not sure. But that was the only negative about our experience. The Apple Barn is definitely a cool spot to visit if you find yourself in Bennington. You can definitely get some tourist shopping/souvenirs and enjoy some treats while shopping. We would definitely come back if we found our way in Bennington again.
