Delicious options, could maybe use more - Edit
City Market has some delicious vegan items in their grab 'n go section including the paradise wrap that comes with big juicy chunks of seitan and is my new obsession. (Too bad I live in California and was only here for 1.5 days. Yay for me that I get to eat this wrap one more time on the plane ride home though.)
Read moreIt does seem like they could use more vegan options, but what they have (from what I tried) was great. And co-ops are my happy place.
They also have a nice large section of maple syrup and maple syrup products.

A favorite place - Edit
So many vegan products! They have a bakery section that even sells local vagan baked goods, such as awesome cookies and cupcakes from Sweet Alchemy. Their deli section also has many vegan dishes clearly labeled. It makes a great affordable take-out meal.

Outstanding - Edit
Had tons of variety! All the produce looked so fresh and delicious. The bulk section and hot bar were abundant. Staff was great, and overall I loved everything that this co-op had to offer.

Average... - Edit
Since there is no Wholefoods nearby, this will have to do, but pretty much the same stuff.

Plentiful Produce - Edit
It's about to kick into high gear for the bounty that the northern hemisphere's harvest has to offer... and VT is certainly pretty far north in the US "domestic/mainland" area, so it'll be exciting soon enough. Wow - the produce already though, was impressive. However, I feel that maybe because it's not quite high season, that the local and organic produce shipped in from all over the place causes a higher price point? No matter, the selection is stupendous.
Read moreI especially liked the entire area devoted to baby and micro greens from local farmers - probably indoor/ greenhouse raised? All the same, yes, yes and yes! Love those baby greens for salads or... straight from the bag?
Also, I don't know if I've ever seen a better mushroom and fresh root/spice section in a co-op or otherwise? So many choices, I was so impressed!
The other stuff is what you'd expect: apples, berries, mangoes, bananas, oranges, broccoli, etc. All looking just as lovely, but not nearly as lovely as those baby greens and mushrooms!
The bulk section is also about ready to burst out of its small corner of the store. Such a beautiful selection of items! Always a good choice to reduce on packaging and maybe save some money. Dried fruits, nuts (some refrigerated, if raw), grains, herbs, spices, coffee, sweeteners, etc.
After those two sections, though, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't that I was unhappy with the rest of the store, it's just that those two aforementioned sections set such a high precedent!
There were also some cool local baked goods, a hippie cooler corner, liquor/ alcoholic beverages and other traditional grocery aisles/ items. If your need it, they probably have it... but, there isn't anything extraordinary for the gluten-free vegan connoisseur. There are some market items pre-made in the fridge section if you want food to go as a vegan eating things like vegan mayo, seitan and cooked food.
Good selection if you need a few items and are living/ visiting near this store.
Pros: Produce, Produce, Bulk items
Cons: Needs more gluten-free vegan items

Loved it - Edit
This was a fantastic market stocked with everything you need. Prices were fair too. My only minor quibble was a bit of a lack of vegan baked options. Almost all of the baked goods were veggie-friendly only.

buffet university vibe - Edit
City market is a health food store. Inside they have a sandwich bar and a small pay by weight self serve buffet. The majority of the items were vegan or vegetarian. The items were marked vegan and included an ingredient list. A full plate of food cost around $6. My favorite item was a warm freekah dish with mushrooms. The food was very good. There is a small seating area and the staff very helpful.
Read moreThe store itself was large and typical. The prices were better than a whole foods but not as good as Wegmans.
Pros: buffet mainly veg, friendly staff

I like this place - Edit
Excellent place. This store is right in the city and gets a lot of business with seating both inside and outside. The hot bar has good veg food, and there are many other options within the store. Can't wait to go back...

Go to City Market! - Edit
Whenever you're traveling through Burlington, go to
Read moreCity Market (http://www.citymarket.coop).
Their food is consistently good! There is a hot bar of tasty food (e.g., vegetarian chili, au gratin potatoes, sesame noodles, greens, tofu, etc.). The store also has a good selection of packaged ready to eat food (e.g., sushi, masala dishes, grape leaves, etc.), as well as artisanal cheese, bread, etc. Oh, and if you like wine, you'll find it there!
There is a small indoor and outdoor area to sit and eat. However, it gets crowded sometimes. So try to find a chair
and Bon Appé[censored]!
Pros: Tasty Food, Full scale grocery store, Good service
Cons: Eating area is tight, The fruit is pricey but it's organic
