The Local & Co

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!!!

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 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!
