Otter Creek Bakery & Deli 14 College Street, Middlebury, VT 05753

"Tried the Otter Creek "Sub" and it was a nice take on a regular sandwich, the hot peppers and pickles were overpowering the "Italian oil". Decent baguette. Croissants were sold out, so might have to come back and try those. Chai latte was ok. The let down was when I paid for my order to go, the minimum tip option was 18% which came out to $4.96. I changed it to $2 and the cashier gave me a dirty look, and grabbed back the machine and handed me a "buzzer" as if I just spat in their faces. Tipping by % should be reserved for waiters/waitresses who provide an extensive service throughout a dining experience, and depends on the quality of service."

"The orange almond Croissant is the best Croissant I've ever eaten. I wish I would have gotten half a dozen of them. Absolutely delicious. It was definitely the best thing of several items I sampled there while on vacation."

"Cool place with friendly service and an excellent breakfast sandwich but outrageously expensive and you can't have it your way. Wheat toast? Nope. Egg whites? Nope. I don't know a universe where an egg and cheese sandwich should cost $9 and a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, $11."

"Would give 3.5 Stars. Cute little sandwich shop and bakery with a lot of menu options, including vegetarian options. Sandwiches had nice flavor, but bread wasn’t great. The Rainbow Veggie Sandwich was more unique. We also got the Lemon Pecan cookie, which was pretty tasty. I would go back again for lunch or a sweet treat."

"This place is somewhere between a 3 and 4 … the food is fresh. The bread is so-so. It would probably taste better toasted. Also, we ordered ham & cheese croissants. They warmed one up and gave the other cold. Weird place."
