The best thing I’ve ever eaten: their gluten free vegan blondie with maple syrup, chocolate chunks, and walnuts. It was AMAZING. Delicious. Incredible. They warmed it up and it was melt in your mouth good. Thank you for having so many good vegan options!!
A cozy spot that’ll have you coming back for more, with local flavors and a menu that offers something for everyone; a must-visit!

I never write reviews but this is definitely the best and my favorite diner i've ever been to. We stumbled upon this place while staying in Montpelier for a skiing/VT winter trip. I am gluten free by preference and I was happily surprised to see gluten free french toast on the menu. It's also made from local bread that they sell at the co-op. Absolutely delicious with the VT maple syrup they serve. The coffee also tastes really good and so is everything else we got every day we came (We loved it so much we came back every morning) The homefries are so yummy and the maple meats are insanely good. My boyfriend and I kept waking up excited to come here to eat for breakfast because it's so good and affordable. The staff are also so friendly and cute. Do yourself a favor and eat at wayside it's worth every penny. Places like this are hard to come by where we live so we are so grateful we found it. Will absolutely come back to Montpelier to eat here!

Chicken Marsala was well executed. The sauce had tremendous umami, not shy on the garlic. Chicken was well seared and juicy. The oven roasted carrots were yummy. I got mine served over mashed potatoes as I’m gluten sensitive.
Fresh, local, and healthy options shine here, with a great hot food bar and an inviting bulk foods area for conscious shoppers.

We hired the Woodbelly team to cater our wedding at the iconic Sleepy Hollow Farm in Woodstock, VT. As soon as my fiance and I walked into the Woodbelly shop for our tasting in Montpelier, we almost immediately knew we would want to work with them this summer. BLM artwork litters the walls, there's a sign that says "trans people eat free" under the register and Hailey greets you with the warmest smile from behind the counter!
Then...we tried the food. Nothing could have prepared us for how absolutely delicious everything was! And its not just their pizza thats mind-blowing, so are their vegetarian and chicken dishes. Hailey's service was wonderful, she (and her sweet daugther!) even did a site visit before the wedding to give us advice on where her team should set up, and what makes the most sense for rental planning. She was extremely accommodating to our vegan diet, as well and provided gluten-free alternatives for our guests. My parents mentioned "faine" aka "farinata," because we eat that with our pizza in our home-country of Argentina, and Hailey offered to learn the recipe and make it for us at the wedding. Thats how thoughtful she is!
We ordered:
- grazing table full of local cheese and meats
- maple seared scallops
- fish cakes
-farinata
-green salad with seasonal veg
-maple braised chicken thighs and drumsticks
-quinoa & bean stuffed squash
-pizza buffet with vegan cheese and GF crust options
-peach & blueberry cobbler
At the wedding, no one could stop talking about how incredible the food was, and how absolutely lovely Hailey and her staff are. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you and your team for making this happen!
Don't have photos to share yet (photos are yet to arrive from the photographer) but will leave you with this one of the bride getting her hands messy in some pizza :)
With a standout focus on customer care and delicious offerings, this spot promises a welcoming vibe perfect for repeat visits.

Excellent food and great service. As someone with celiac (gluten free), our server was great about what I could have (I didn't get the full run down of gf options but the chicken soup was great) and even warned me not to use the hoisin sauce on the table. Looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you!

We ordered 3 custom, gluten free sandwiches and a bowl. All were made exactly how we asked and were very delicious! The gelato is really tasty and they have dairy free flavors too.

Great Thai street food. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Often times they have gluten free entrees on their revolving menu, just check beforehand.
Tasty street tacos steal the show with standout flavors, while the cozy bar vibe makes for a great takeout experience.

Ordered 3 street tacos and kids chicken quesadilla for take out. The street tacos were delicious. The spicy chipotle garlic shrimp taco and the pulled pork taco were delicious. The chicken with pineapple salsa was good too. Service was great at the bar. Good with gluten allergy. Children's quesadilla was very small but it was only $5.
Extremely busy, but the 30 min wait (with made reservation) was worth every minute. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and had a very kind smile. We had 2 gluten free requesters in our party and she (and the restaurant) accommodated them to the fullest. Our appetizers, which consisted of some of the biggest mussels I have ever enjoyed and eaten in Vermont, were engulfed by a garlic, buttery brine that was too die for. Our protein for the main course were several perfectly prepared and cooked porterhouses, and chicken marsala and salmon. The chicken marsala was succulent, with just the right amount of mushroom in every bite. My wife had the salmon, it was tasty, but it was on the dryer side of the spectrum. The cocktails were blended and mixed to everyone's satisfaction and was extremely refreshing and crisp. The bill was on the higher side but it is to be expected as the quality of the food and the location is prime. I will go out of my way to eat there again, no matter the wait....
Generous portions and a cozy vibe make for a delightful breakfast spot that's definitely worth a detour off Barre St!

Tasty, diner-style eggs dished out in generous portions and crisply perfect gluten-free toast, two thick slices. The breakfast sandwich and coffee were also good. Very pleasant atmosphere and service too. Worth the turn off Barre St! I’m looking forward to returning for lunch.
