Freighthouse Market & Cafe

I specifically stopped here for the responsibly sourced food, so I don't mind paying a little more for quality, but their staff, preparation and final products were quite frankly just terrible.

We arrived at 2:45 and the kitchen was closed. The only hot food they were serving was soup, seafood or veggie. No problem, I ordered the seafood soup. The waitress made a point to mention that it was $10 because it contained "a lot of seafood" and "seafood was expensive". I didn't complain, or even ask about it, she made a point of it and even opened up and pointed to it on the menu. When it arrived 10 min later, all I could see was cut up pieces of a baked potato. There were literally 4 pieces of seafood and what looked like an entire baked potato in my soup. The seafood consisted of two small pieces of lobster, one scallop and one small piece of fish. When I say small, I mean smaller than a teaspoon in size. In addition, it wasn't even warm.

I didn't even know what to say at that point. I was hungry, so I ate it, it didn't fill me up, but I wasn't about to order anything else. The waitress flat out lied and there was no point in starting an argument with her. My friend ordered the veggie soup and also felt ripped off. The waitress never came back, we prepaid so we just left.

An utter disappointment all around. There is no excuse for such terrible service and overpriced food. I would like to have given it a great review, but unlike their staff I can't lie. This place is a disgrace to responsible food producers and consumers.

first off let me say that as a college student living in this town.. My first experience with this place was a bit skeptical. I thought it was just going to be one of those tourist attractions... Which essentially it kind of was with a majority of the merchandise on the inside.. I remember my mother took the longest time looking through their merch when I'd already made up my mind. but, when my mother is not visiting I visit once in a while and, I always seem to enjoy myself when I look through for any new items that I may or may not wish to buy. Unfortunately I'm a poor college student though so it kinda sucks but, If I were to say anything else, their Ice Cream is the best in Lyndonville! they give you more than you'd want for that size cone... I always go with a small because that seems like a large to me x3

And their people are soo nice xD I give it a 4 out of 5 :3

Food- Good
Decor- Old Fashioned (I love it!)
Trains? YES
Ice cream- More than you can handle x3
Friendlyness- yes :3

Most pathetic breakfast sandwich ever, threw my whole day off. Also, never had bad avocado toast or homefries until now, very disappointing.

I love this place. It has the best local, organic, healthy, and vegan food, groceries, cafe meals, fresh smoothies, juices, body products, and a few supplements. It's the best food store in the Lyndonville - Burke - St. Johnsbury area.

The peanut butter blossoms are heavenly AND gluten free / vegan!! 😍 The store and staff are very knowledgeable in dietary needs and cater to it.

Nice assortment of gifts and locally made items. Great health food selection. I'll have to return to check out the cafe!

Very good food, excellent service...no people during time we were there so we were able to visit with a friend for 2 hours

Nice place. The staff are friendly and the ice cream selection is extensive. You will not be disappointed if you stop here on your way through Lyndonville.

Worked here one summer & was underpaid severely as a cook. "Tipped" wage at $7/hr (below min wage) but people didn't usually tip around here for coffee. They only do partial service, not full service, and regardless I was a cook, not some sort of semi-wait staff.

Good food and cool interior design.
