  I stopped by Local & Company for lunch today while visiting Bennington and really enjoyed my visit. The café and boutique have a warm, welcoming atmosphere with cozy seating areas and comfortable armchairs where you can relax and enjoy your coffee.
  
  All of the sandwich choices looked tempting, but I chose the Veg Out with garlic feta dill cream cheese, cucumber, spinach, red onion, tomato, and Swiss cheese. It was delicious, especially the flavorful garlic feta cream cheese! I also picked up a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese for a later snack.
  
  The staff was friendly, and my lunch was prepared quickly. I also enjoyed chatting with Ashley, the owner, and browsing the gift area, which had so many wonderful and interesting items. The boutique added a lot of warmth and personality to the space and made the café feel especially inviting. This was a wonderful stop as an out-of-town visitor exploring Bennington.

  There’s something special about a small local cafe that no big chain can ever quite replicate and this one captures that magic perfectly.
  I stopped into the Local and Co while visiting friends in Bennington and became absolutely obsessed with this place.
  From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the best vibes. The space is cozy without feeling cramped, with soft lighting, mismatched wooden tables, and just enough background music to create a relaxed, welcoming feel.
  The cafe latte was exceptional. The Local sandwich was a delicious spin on a BLT. We sat here for hours just talking and eventually gave in to the homemade desserts. If I could have had one of everything, I would have. But the brownie and chocolate chip cookie were to die for.
  In a world of fast meals, this little cafe is a reminder that good food, made with care and served with heart, always tastes better. It’s not just a place to grab a bite, it’s a place to slow down, connect, and enjoy something truly special.
  Cannot wait to stop in again on the next visit to Vermont!!!

  I’ve gone here multiple times with my son, and the place is amazing. It has the absolute freshest bagels! I get the turkey, bacon, avocado on an everything bagel and I could quite literally eat that every day for the rest of my life and be happy. And the desserts? Oh dear LORD they’re good! As good as the food is, the staff is even better (if that’s possible!) SO friendly and welcoming. Very much a hometown feeling! I’ll be back - again and again!!!

  The Local cafe in Bennington has recently moved. The food , sandwiches, bagels and treats were always very good. In their new location they have more choices. They now have a cute little boutique. The light and bright atmosphere is very inviting and comfortable. The servers are very nice and willing to chat. Very sociable and friendly. Service was quick. We loved our food. The fresh fruit cup is delicious. My husband enjoyed his breakfast sandwich on sourdough. The bagels are great!

  Second one on line, still took 15 minutes after ordering 2 sandwiches to go, to get it served. The chicken salad was one big salt lick. Literally biting into salt crystals, totally inedible. The Cuban on sourdough, however, was quite good.
  Would give this place a second try if I was in the area but I’d have to not be hungry and have plenty of time.
