St. Johnsbury Country Store - St Johnsbury, Vermont

Everything &. N.

As a storefront I feel this place has a lot of potential that is being encumbered by the people who work here. They made it obvious that they were waiting for me to try to steal something because they watched me the whole time. I should have walked out for being treated like some sort of undesirable.

No one greeted me when I walk in. The staff look at me suspiciously but I make my way to the deli anyway. I stand there at the deli counter looking at the menu for literally 3 or 4 minutes while the bearded guy behind ignores me. He says literally not a word, so I go. The lady behind me approaches and he immediately greets her and takes her order. I grab a cliff bar, pay for it which I am sure shocked them, and leave.

I was in that store for 10 minutes and I swear that literally the only thing said to me was: "$5.18". No please, no thank you, no words were spoken to me, just numbers to indicate their demand.

What a shame, there is such a vital need for the community to be able to access non-GMO and organic foods. But the people who work here have made their self appointed elitism and distain for the average person very clear. I tried 3 times now to be a customer here. I won't be trying again.

A great little store on the main drag. We went there to get a couple sandwiches and they were happy to make what we wanted. They have lots of over-the-counter and homeopathic and herbal medicines, as well as a supply of kitchen goods and groceries and a nice deli in the back. They happily made a gluten-free version of one of their menu sandwiches, the turkey and guacamole" California" sandwich. They also had gluten free brownies & cookies. We were able to pick sandwiches, chips, and cookies to go and find a park across the river and enjoy our lunch.

Excellent choices of a lot of items. Deli sandwiches are awesome. Good eats. 100% better than Subway

We have always loved coming here for sandwiches and did very frequently! Unfortunately the last few experiences have not been the best… I’m unsure if there is a new deli staff or what but the walnut chicken salad is not nearly as good as it used to be and our sandwiches have been messed up or an unsettling amount of hair was on them 🙁 I’ll also add that you have to repeat yourself because the employee making our sandwich (in our experience) she always has earbuds in. I’m not usually one to write reviews however I really hope the deli gets back to how it was.

They've got some really great stuff you can't find anywhere else, really well stocked. And some really meh stuff you can't imagine anyone buying. Great place to go, good sushi, lots of flours and herbs and such. Good freezer section (mochis and ice cream things!)

I used to love natural provisions. I’ve been a loyal customer for years. Unfortunately in recent months and since they lost a certain staff remember, their deli has gone down hill. Their lunch offerings used to be so diverse and really branched away from typical American food. They always had gf options, lots of vegetables and the food was exciting. Now I feel like it’s become run of the mill cafeteria food and their to-go deli section is really disappointing and the quality has declined (don’t even get me started on those new gf chicken fingers and the loss of the eat more kale salad). I know it’s hard to lose creativity in the kitchen and maybe the dishes you used to offer left with the cook, but it’s quite the let down. Most times I go in I leave empty handed. Even the produce section has dwindled. I know it’s hard times but I do think they’ve lost their spark. I will continue to try but I’m worried that they will loose their footing as st J grows. The grocery section is still a life saver but 70% of my business was the deli.

This deli has a great menu. The Omnomnom Sandwich (with sliced beef tenderloin) is awesome!! Order it "panini" style. The Banh Mi has the perfect amount of heat. I've also had the Spicy Peanut Wrap and the Reuben. All amazing and fresh. I'm looking forward to sampling the rest of the menu!!!
