Village Market of Waterbury — Local services in Waterbury

You would think, living in a small town and with the name VILLAGE (even smaller than a small town) MARKET, that there would be little more than what a convenience store might carry. But WOW! You would be so wrong! This Market has a wonderful selection... actually, it's got more than the bigger stores have! Really, I checked...lol, they really do. It is just one pleasant surprise after another in this store! Firstly, when you walk in, your breath is taken away because of how beautiful it looks. I know, that sounds odd for a grocery store but I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. The setup is amazing and though I could never describe why, it's just very... well, Vermont.

Their "health food" selection is about 1/3 of what you would find at Shaws down the road, and go-to foods for me like guacamole and hummus are always at least 30% more expensive than I see anywhere. My guess is that they are only still in business because they are the sole grocer in the...

Today is my birthday, and I ordered a bunch of sandwiches from the deli to have a lunch celebration with my kids. The sandwiches were delicious and yummy - my (annoying, I'm sure) specific order was filled to perfection. The woman who took my phone order could not have been more sweet. My daughter picked up the order on her way to my house, and I asked her to please tip her. Unfortunately, the store policy is "no tipping". I just want to say, in the days of every business expecting a tip for so much less effort, I would like them to revisit this policy. That said, THANK YOU, deli friend and master sandwich maker, for...
