Island Pond, VT

If you were around in the 1980's, you might remember the Common Sense Restaurant and Wholesome Food Market. It was open 24 hours and had hot-steamed sandwiches. The building was destroyed in a fire, many years have passed, the Simon the Tanner shoestore came and went, but the people behind the "Common Sense" (as it was called) remained here in town up on the hill.

Well, in the summer of 2024, we opened the Yellow Deli. With a similar décor and menu as the old Common Sense, the deli is a peaceful place to bring a friend. Our specialty, like all of the Yellow Delis, is hot-steamed sandwiches, homemade soup, desserts, and salads.

One unique feature of this Yellow Deli is we serve pancakes and maple syrup. This is because we have a sugarbush in Norton, and in the back of the Deli is a maple-syrup bottling facility.

You can also check out the market while you're waiting for your food. It contains local products and products made in our communities around the globe.

We love you! Please come see us!
