Woodstock

The exterior look a little divey, but the reviews were good so we went in. Wow. This cafe has a soft 70's vibe that welcomed us. Vintage rock posters covered a wall. Wooden tables were scattered around. There's a coffee and tea bar. The ladies working were very kind and efficient. The menu had a few salads and sandwiches. (Earlier we asked a shop owner for a good lunch spot. She said Woodstock had the best and healthiest food in town.) We ordered and shared the Rueben, asking for a side of Cole slaw to go with the second plate. There is a beer list, but none of the beers were local. I asked for coffee and a fresh pot was made. Upon returning to Vermillion and the beach, I'll be stopping for lunch here.

A hippie enclave in the middle of nowhere Ohio, serving up high quality, California inspired food, with classic rock & roll memorabilia on the walls? Sure, why not?! Sign me up!We found Woodstock by accident, having rolled into town for a weekend visit, and found an empty parking spot in front right as the lunch rush was over. We walked in, not expecting much, and were more than pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere and staff. I imagine if you spend any amount of time in Vermillion Ohio, Woodstock would become your home base, and while we were only able to visit the once, I secretly wished we could have something like this closer to our home. Really solid!

Had the veggie sandwich which was wonderful! Space is dark and set more as a coffee shop, which I thought would be bad for lunch and turned out perfect as it was relaxing and cozy. Enjoyed my visit much!

Here's the problem: *you're a coffee place and don't open until 9 am*you're a restaurant in a weekend town and close at 6 pm. The food is great! The ambiance is great! But when your hours are soooooo limited, I just don't know how they can afford to keep their doors open for the limited time that they do. We ordered food at 5:00 pm, we're told 15-20 minutes. Showed up at 5:20. Not ready. 5:30... still not ready. 5:40... STILL. NOT. READY. That is awful. Are you sure you want to be in this business?

I have been here before, but I was looking forward to trying their pizzas before I wrote my review. Sadly, there was no pizza today. Their toppings. list includes anvhovies, today there were no anchovies available... so I didn't get a pizza. (Anchovies are a fantastic way to observe how a kitchen is working. Good anchovies are a delight, discount anchovies are what chains serve and are the primary reason anchovies have the reputation they have among the general population...) So, I opted for the Reuben. Reuben sandwiches have a reasonably simple formula and balancing the ingredients is a good thing. My server, a younger person, in late high school / early college was prompt and rather curt with the "we don't have anchovies" snap. Suddenly I could see the writing on the wall... Here is your sandwich now I shall disappear until I bring you the check.The sandwich arrived and she did vanish rapidly, which is a shame because I would have really liked a shake of pepper onto the sandwich and the coleslaw. The provided chips were amazing and also very sparse. Like less chips than in a 50 cent charity bag of Lays. Think: airline portion of potato chips in economy. I would have paid for extra, but. alas my server had long sincr vanished into the ether. The sandwich proper had all of the requisite components in reasonable quantities. It was described as being pressed in a panini type of machine which should have made the exterior toasty with panini stripes and some char. I calculate that the sandwich spent less than 15 seconds in the press as the ridges from the pressing were present, but the toastyness was not. Zero outsude crunch and warm innards. A bit more kraut and a smidgen less 1000 island would have been to my liking, but that is some fine-tuning in the face of the rest of the sandwich dissonance. The coleslaw was harmless and I think would have been the star of the plate with some black pepper added. But there were no shakers on the table and my server was. AWOL... All of the other servers were studiously busy with their guests and I couldn't get anyone to notice me.Last. time I was here I had a sub and it was exemplary. This visit really tempered that experience.Yhe atmosphere is pleasantly quirky and the musak was set on hippy-dippy, which was perfect for the venue. I just wish they had stuff to make a pizza and that my servern hadn't evaporated... but they didn't and they did.So 2 stars. Quirky and engaging atmosphere. Poor service, generic, but good, food and a hope for better times someday.It is so close to being epic. Your mileage may vary...

Great outdoor patio area. Everyone enjoyed their food and the staff was nice. It wasn't crowded so the service was fast. The boho burger was delish with the impossible meat.

This place is just the cutest. Add yummy food and friendly service and my fam and I were very happy on our lunch out during vacay. Did I mention that they have local craft beers available too? Absolutely stop in if you're ever in the area.

Off to a good start. Compostable straws!! Lots of Jerry Garcia memorabilia. We stumbled upon this establishment while coming to Vermillion for the Ice Festival. Glad we found it. I had the Roasted Love Beet Salad. Didn't even need to use the dressing. The salad had a healthy potion of tasty hummus on top and I just used that. I am a big beet fan so the more the merrier.

Awesome Pizza!!!! I wish they had more varieties but still awesome pizza! Thin crust and crispy! Mix n match 6 pack to go. Very friendly staff great pace to eat!

This place is fun. It's kind of a hippie coffeehouse that serves food. Good food too - try the Love Beet Salad. I never thought I'd like anything called a Love Beet Salad, but it's fantastic! Solid pizza. Friendly people. Comfortable and a bit funky. Great place!
