In love with the freight house! It’s like if Starbucks met a cute hippy Vermonter and they got married. Drinks are super on brand for Starbucks and the baristas are quick and friendly. Food choices are plentiful, something for everyone and lots of healthy choices. I pretty much always do coffee though or one of their energy bites which are so so yummy. Only main negative is I wish they could be open an hour earlier as I leave for work by 6:30 and they don’t open till 7. That’s probably a blessing in disguise for my wallet though

It's quiet and a country store feeling. All of the meal options are fresh. Starbucks coffee and lattes ready to go. So much natural foods to choose from and lunch/breakfast options. Well worth the stop, I encourage you.

We had some great Starbucks coffees and avocado toasts. The maple pull apart were to die for. We should have gotten 2 orders per person. The girls helping us were very friendly and did a great job. We also were able to pick up some touristy souvenirs and some maple taffy. Ad they are also a general store they do have a selection of groceries and staple goods as well as a full fledged gift shop upstairs. And don’t forget about Carmine’s ice cream shop located at the same location. The Freighthouse market and cafe is well worth a visit when in Lyndonville.

Came in and ordered a smoothie and it was great, staff were very nice and the store has a very nice atmosphere. Also a great parking lot with tons of spaces.

Incredible service and delicious food. I spent a morning at a table working and the folks behind the counter were so thoughtful. I received an ice water during my time here, they noticed I'd been there for some time and brought that to my table. Small gestures like these go a long way and are not common. Thank you!

7.18.22 heading back from Island Pond was excited to get real coffee. This was a great stop since we not only got Starbucks coffee, but something sweet to eat while enjoying your cafe.

I visited in October with my son and his family. We had a delightful time and a great lunch. I was so pleased to see it was an organic restaurant. The little store was well-stocked and had so much to offer. We were treated to a trip upstairs where my granddaughter got to see the electric train in the miniature town of Lyndonville. We met the owner and her daughter and they were delightful. I hope to visit again when I am in the Vermont area as I am located in Indiana. Oh, to top it all off, we enjoyed the wonderful ice cream. This place is just the best.
