Shafer's Market & Deli

Got recommended this place by some locals and is didn’t disappoint. Chilled atmosphere, tasty food and great service. Would certainly come back.

We stopped in our drive home just before they were closing. 5 of us ordered 5 different sandwiches, hot and cold. The staff were very pleasant. Our sandwiches were delicious- fries too- thick cut, extra cooked, and well seasoned.

I am from long island NY and just recently moved to upstate. We have tried to find a decent slice of pizza with no luck. We stumbled upon Shafer's just the other day . It's a quaint little place which has everything. The girl that waited on us was the best. She was so nice and professional way beyond her years. She offered to make a fresh pie for us and we weren't disappointed. It was the best pizza we had since long island. The best part of our visit was the waitress. With her attitude she made our day just a little bit brighter. Thanks. We will definitely come back again.

As you read these reviews, remember folks that this is the Post-Covid world. Everybody wants to eat out but nobody wants to work. As a result, wait times and quality of service will suffer. Expectations will start to change.
My experience at Shafer's Market was a tasty one. One of the better burgers I've had in a while and the best homemade french fries I've had all year. Be patient and the universe will reward you.

I just had the best breakfast ever! I think I have ever had! The eggs were cooked perfect, the hash was the best I have ever had, and the home fries were amazing! They should advertise their breakfast and let you know what times they serve it. I will be back for it and I will be bringing my family in too! Thanks for a fabulous meal!! :)

Ate here this weekend for the first time in more than a year and, unlike the last time, the food was awesome! The margherita pizza was amazing and the falafel and fries were very good, too! Something changed because the last time I ate here was underwhelming. Service was reasonably fast, too. Highly recommended!

We had a very good experience with this place. We ordered lunch for Friday and our kids liked it so much we went back the next two days of our weekend stay. The food was very good quality and was well-prepared. The coffee exceeded expectations. Recommended.

Hi I’m an employee here. We are now under new ownership as ALE’s Family Restaurant. This means that we no longer take online orders through Shaffer’s website, Chow Now under Shaffer’s, or DoorDash through Shaffer’s. We are also short staffed like everyone else so when entering and ordering at our establishment please be respectful and mindful of this. Thank you, the ALE’s family.

First of all, Shafer’s is an amazing place to eat and I love the crew that works there. Very nice staff and you always get a great feeling every time you walk into Shafer’s. And finally, the whole business is worth going to because in my opinion, I like it a lot. And I really wish I could give Shafer’s a 6th star. 😃. Thank you Shafer’s

Again I would like to thank the Shafer’s staff for all that they do. Every single time I go into Shafer’s, I feel respected as a customer and I feel like part of the family. Seriously I would recommend going there and getting their food. It’s very good and they try very hard. Thanks again Shafer’s.

Just did lunch here for my office and we really enjoyed the meals. It is great to have a place with such a diverse menu. Pizza is great, steak and cheese is awesome, and the creemees are the best around!

Awesome food and great creemees. Definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend

Lovely little market and deli in downtown Middlebury. The staff is very pleasant and even helped me out in a pinch by providing me with the exact change that I needed for an upcoming bus ride. Definitely drop in here and give them your business if you're in town and looking for a cozy and friendly place.

Have had several wood fired pizza’s here and impressed everytime. They take into consideration what you like on your pizza.
Highly reccomended!

Great food! Great service! The lady that helped us was super nice! Very good experience, definitely recommended.

Wood fired oven and great options for all. Nice indoor and outdoor areas but no alcohol allowed.

Best pizza I've ever had. And I'm from Chicago. Also, the maple ice cream is amazing.

Cool experience. Open stove. Warm environment. Cool people. Amazing food.

Great food, great atmosphere. Owners are very personable

Almost never been in a place with a more welcoming atmosphere than Shafer’s. Will be returning as long as I live.
