A destination for travelers and locals alike, Vermont Country Deli offers a quick place to stop for tasty gourmet deli food that includes handcrafted sandwiches, hearty scratch-made soups, a full bakery, and a whole lot more.
Located just off Exit 2 on Interstate 91 in Brattleboro, this popular spot lures travelers in and ensures they will return. A country store vibe, welcoming smells emanating from the bakery, and fast, friendly service create an inviting atmosphere. Added to this is a friendly dose of humor, clearly demonstrated by a prominent sign, Life Is Short–Eat Cookies located next to an enormous stack of large, homemade cookies that go fast.

Maple barbecued pulled pork, slow-cooked pork shoulder in their own maple barbecue sauce, is another. Their selection of hearty soups includes corn chowder, creamy broccoli cheddar, and beef and bean chili. Sesame noodles, potstickers, and chicken burritos offer more choices for the hungry traveler.
