Mid Winter Festival on City Bay in Lake Champlain. When the ice is hard and cold come and enjoy a speed skating oval, family skating, a group hike across the ice to an Knight's Island, Mountain Bike races on the Ice, and a christmas tree bonfire!
Its the best little store in the world, so quaint, you feel so vermonty while youre there.we went for breakfast and lunch almost every day, coffee was great, lots of little do dads and t shirts and really anything you might need. The only "bad" thing is that they close kinda early, about 8. its an awesome place.
Such a cute general store--lots of stuff and well maintained. Sandwiches were quite good, too. We were able to snag one of their picnic tables across the street and enjoyed our lunch outside!
During our stay on North Hero we would get sandwiches for lunch from Hero's Welcome. They were delicious and there was a large variety to choose from - including vegetarian options. The store itself has some unique souvenirs and candy.
There is no complaining about the quality of food at the deli.It is first class. I do however, think that the service could have been better. I believe it was the owners, (husband and wife) behind the counter in a conversation when I placed the order.When it was finished being made the order was out on the counter while they continued their discussion.There was no mention to us that these were our sandwiches or that the our order was ready. At the time, we were the only customers, so there was no case of being overly busy. We will be back and hope to be treated a little better or at least acknowledged.
Remembered from a previous trip, we stopped here for a lateish breakfast after leaving Burlington and driving up the Lake Champlain Islands. Great baked goods. We all had a breakfast egg, cheese and bacon sandwich on a Portugese "English" muffin. Good coffee selection. Fun place to visit. Check out the housewares and other gift items.
Out in front of this general store are benches: the red one is labeled Republican and the blue one is labeled Democrat. I won't mention the name on the green Adirondack chair in the middle but for the sake of labeling, I will call it the Independent chair. Keep an open mind and meet and greet someone on either bench/chair. Lots of customers enjoy their snack here while looking out across the road and to the lake or watching customers pump their gas. Some customers eat across the road on the picnic tables - someone else will have to share if there is any politicizing of those :-)
Great sandwiches, good wine selection, overpriced but nice selection of porcelain and teeshirts as well as kitched items
The shop has some cute stuff (if kitschy but hey - you're supposed to be on vacation) and the port-a-potty only bathroom option is not my favorite (they aren't so bad) but the deli counter is awesome. They have a wall with per-determined selections - each with a cute name and a story (The Norman Rockwell is something I find myself dreaming about - and have to admit I've replicated at home with some success but not a replacement for the real thing). Hardly somewhere you'd go out of your way to visit but if you are in the area well worth stopping in - and they are very friendly too.
On a cool day of motorcycle riding we stopped in to warm up and had some of their soup. Hamburger- Macaroni. Never heard of it but it hit the spot. They appear to be "the business" in town as they had a little bit of everything including the duct tape we needed.Not expected was that when we needed the restroom, they were port a potties. Seemed out of place for the business.Beautiful building with a deck across the street on the water that many seemed to be enjoying.
