First of all definitely get their chicken shawarma wrap ? it had a nice grilled flavor and the wrap was crispy which I really enjoyed. Not a big fan of their shashouka, I much prefer Vergennes Laundry's version. The potato wedges looks really good, but I felt like it could be better if it was cripier instead of tasting more like boiled potatoes with some spices around it.It was my first time visiting The Grey Jay since they opened. The decor and energy is not as vibrant and personable as I like, especially when compared to other places like Zabby & Elf. But I enjoyed their wrap so will visit again to try some other things.For what you are paying, I think there's value compared to other places. One ding against them was the coffee drinks, ordered the Tahini Iced Coffee and it was well not very good and not worth $7. I do think their drip coffee is tastier than other places where it tastes like burnt rubber or tire, but again I enjoy drinking straight black coffee so keep that in mind. I would probably stay away from the mixed coffee drinks and maybe try their pastries which I didn't get to do.
What a great way to start the weekend! Our server, Laurel, was attentive and professional and that matched the level of the unique (for BTV) flavors in food served. Each dish we ordered were super flavoral and this is now a brunch spot for us. As a vegan my dish was excellent and don't skip those potatoes! Don't be intimidated by the line at the door (I suspect for food like this it is often), just put our name in with the server, stroll BTV and wait for your text. You won't regret it! YUM!

This place is the bomb! If you like Mediterranean food this is where it's at (if you don't then it's probably not for you). Everything was delicious. We got the crispy potatoes with labneh the lamb fatteh and the eggplant sandwich and they were all stellar. Also got pastries and Turkish coffee to go and they did not disappoint. I wish I lived closer to Burlington so I could go back soon!

Had a great table by the window. This was a perfect place to enjoy a Bloody Mary and chat. The Bloody Mary was just the perfect spice level.
