Cute, a little out of the way, but worth it. They have a delicious bakery section and a cafe that looks like it serves some seriously good eats. Their outdoor seating looks out over a river and the staff is happy to point you towards nearby attractions (in our case, Mad River waterfalls, 3 miles away down the 100). They manage to offer a ton of local food and craft items without being over the top. Bought some Vermont cheese and wine here, and, although I have yet to try them, I'm more than happy to write a glowing review based on the shopping experience

So we came here with a very specific purpose- to buy some Lawson's Finest Beer. Unfortunately, they were all sold out, so we didnt actually buy anything here, but we did browse around, I was very impressed with their selection. Lots of local, organic products, everything from soap to meat, and a great beer and wine selection, with all kinds of local craft varieties. Prices were a little steap, but because of the quality of ingredients and the middle of nowhere location, that is definitely to be expected. They also sell prepared food at the deli, and have a small area to sit and eat- which is a nice touch.

This is a must if you are anywhere nearby. It's got a lot to offer -- so much so that one of my fave web cams looks onto the store. anyhoo, on to the review...
downstairs:
deli and bakery - top quality, 5 star and great coffee too. baked goods you would serve to guests.
outdoor seating - beside the Mad River - rustic-gorgeous
market - the grocery section is very light, leaning toward gifty local items. magazines, snacks and candy are plentiful, and they've recently added a good amount of local take away entree type things - gracie's fabulous tamales, american flatbread pizza, burritos and more cheese (always a good thing)
wine - the buyer knows his stuff, and i'm a fan of the periodic tastings, as i always learn something and come away with a good bottle or three
upstairs:
high end, upscale, unique, some local, funky, reasonably priced boutique items for men, women, home and kids - do not miss it. the buyer has a great eye and though i've got access to stores in Boston, i always find something to need here. gotta support the local economy.
ps - don't forget the Lawson'sListed in: Vermont

The Warren Store is a hidden local spot that offers quaint country charm and some cool items. This cool market of sorts in located in the small town of Warren, about 2 miles from Sugarbush where I sometimes go skiing.
The store is a mix mash of different thngs. It is a country market that offers fresh cheese, wine, hot sauces, candy from the 50's, dipping sauces, hip trendy items like pesto crackers or flax seed crisps... There is also a deli with awesome sandwiches, salads, pasteries etc.
Then there are sections upstairs selling locally made crafts- dishes, jewelry, clothing and a cute toy section. It's fun to look around if nothing else!
I reccomend the breakfast sandwich on your way to the slopes. You can even have a hot cup of cider instead of coffee! -

Long time customer of the Warren Store. Even when I moved across the country I HAVE to stop in and get a #6 with cheddar and pickles whenever I'm home in VT. The ritual really seems to "bring me home."
Since I've been purchasing sandwiches here for over a decade I can tell you that the prices have gone up, but it's a treat for me when I visit. The prosciutto stuffed peppers are a great accompaniment to the purchase of a ice tea and a sandwich. I love their bread here and sitting over the water isn't bad either.
Since moving away from the valley I've only found one other store like this place in my life, and it's called the Dry Creek General Store up in Sonoma, CA. It's nice to know rural VT hosts such good food that's it's on par with wine country :) -

I love this place. We go every time we are in the area. The store is tiny, and sits right in the middle of picturesque Warren, VT. The Pitcher Inn, a luxury Relais & Chateaux property is directly across the road. There is a little stream that runs across the back of the store. It takes you back in time when general stores where plentiful. The staff is nice, and it's a great place to visit.
We love the deli & bakery. They have wonderful sandwiches. You have to get something with cheddar because it's so tasty! Try their cookies, the maple walnut is my favorite.
You have to drop by if you are in the area. How often do you find old time general stores like this anymore? -

Two words: Lawson's Finest. The Warren Store sells this local craft brew along with other less exotic beers. If you're lucky, they have some in stock. If you're unlucky, I've just left with the last 5 one pint bottles of the tastiest beer in the world.
Sandwiches in the deli are average.
View on the porch overlooking the river is worth sticking around for lunch. -

The Warren Store is another gem known to the locals and to some passing tourists. It's nestled between deep woods and a waterfall on a little highway in Vermont. The deli is fully stocked, the vintage soda coolers are great atmosphere but also functional, and the wine selection is better than I would have expected for a cutesy vermonty roadside deli.
In the summer, sit on the porch, get a snack, and enjoy the scenery. -

This may be my favorite place in Vermont. This little store has consistently great quality food, and hosts the best 4th of July celebration on the planet... despite the rain. The little porch out behind the store overlooks a tiny waterfall, and is absolute heaven. It's physically impossible to be in a bad mood here.

The Reutzler - OMG amazing. Worth the drive from Boston for that alone.

What more could you ask for--a country store in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, complete with all kinds of gifts and souvenirs, a cafe on the first floor, and an outdoor deck overlooking a river. The tiny village of Warren doesn't have a whole lot going on, but it's really scenic and the Warren Store definitely makes it worth a visit.

I think my turkey & cheddar sandwich may have been the best sandwich ever...but that was because I was starving after skiing all day. It was a pretty good sandwich but the main draw is the Vermont-y vibe this place on Main St has. A couple tables inside for sandwich & maple walnut pastry tart consumption...cute country store atmosphere with jams, baked goods, deli and other snacks.

I like going to this country store in Warren Vermont. Very cute and has the basics. A warm place to browse around & see what they have, sit for a sandwich, soup, coffee, or cider especially on cold days. Not very "diverse" in selection -compared to SF but then again, it is Vermont but they're getting there. The staff is alright perhaps more engaged if they actually know you- but since I'm just a typical tourist- the need for me to look around is a priority. The second floor section has clothing, jewelry, etc. kinda pricey but good quaiity and supports the local artisans.

Love this place...quintessential Vermont country store, with a great selection of local products and beers (try the Lawson's IPA!). It's a great place to stop on your way out of town to stock up on delicious sandwiches, baked goods and snacks for the road.

The Warren store is terrific. They have a tiny sandwich deli with a limited but tasty selection. Sandwiches are great and bakery is awesome. Very fresh and interesting selections. The rest of the store has "specialty" products that one might find in many country stores of VT, just a bit better. I lived in the area for a few years and I was surprised that half the staff warmed up to me and the other didn't. Bakery/deli were real friendly and got to know me as a customer but the few who worked the register (owners I believe) always looked at me as if I was a hoodlum. I don't know why. Maybe it was because I was excited to go there and get fresh pastries once a week and all too gladly pay there just almost too high price. Whatever. I don't care if they don't want to say hello when all I wanted to do was sink my teeth into one of my favorite buttery, slightly crispy, warm chocolate croissants? There are some really cool water/geological features just behind this place. Check those out if you are ever here.

Fantastic sandwiches and baked goods. They made me a peach blackberry cobbler pie for my birthday and it was DIVINE! I'll always remember how friendly they were in customizing my dessert and the scrumptious aroma when I picked it up. Thank you!
