The The Vermonter, alongside the Sea Salt Maple Latte and Iced Sea Salt Maple Latte, highlights the seasonal “New” section with a sweet-savory profile that stands out among the drink offerings.

The sandwich selection feels hearty and varied, with choices such as the Sliced Smoked Salmon Sandwich, BLT Sandwich, Farmers Veggie & Cheese Sandwich, Cape Cod Chicken Salad Sandwich, and the substantial Dagwood Sandwich. For lighter yet flavorful meals, the salads are especially appealing, including the Feta Greek Salad, Fritter Salad, Mango, Pineapple & Chicken Salad, Thai Chicken Salad, and VT Cobb Salad. The entrée bowls bring a more modern, health-focused angle with options like the Autumn Harvest Veggie Quinoa Bowl, Bacon Avocado Power Quinoa Bowl, Chicken Pesto Quinoa Bowl, Fritter Quinoa Bowl, and Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl. Beverage choices remain extensive, from the Hot Coffee and Espresso Americano to cold favorites like Cold Brew, Iced Coffee, and Iced Americano, plus smoothies such as the Berry-Licious, Green Machine, and Chocolate PB.

Overall, the menu feels expansive yet approachable, with something for both indulgent cravings and health-conscious diners.
