The food was so over priced and the wait time was really long I bought a salad for 13$ and it wasn’t even that good don’t recommend this place to anyone

Not the best, not the worst vegan options I've seen. Veggies in the pita pictured weren't super fresh, starting to brown. Regardless, I ate everything and was satisfied.

Vegetarian options: Significant options for vegetarians, vegan mods available.

Ordered pie to go, uncomfortable because one employee told another she had not cut the crust correctly or something like that, the other lady said she did but the person getting the pie didn't let it go. Was a bit of an uncomfortable situation and I felt bad for the lady making a wrap. I didn't say anything and the man at the register was lovely but the pie cutter was really not nice to him either. They were not busy as it was around 2pm. I thought about it and called to let them know the crust was hard and that I thought the lady making the wrap was owed an apology. I think I must have gotten the pie cutter on the phone because her resolution was she would call the bakery and let them know (I was under the impression the pies were home made.... I know now they aren't I guess). No, I'm sorry, no I will let the wrap maker lady know, no offer of any positive customer service.

Sandwiches were very good and service was fast despite the place being busy with the lunchtime crowd. Turtle brownie pie for dessert was delicious. Glad we stopped by and we will be back!

We love The Brown Bag. They have a wide variety of food choices and delicious pies. They have added new restrooms downstairs, which is a big plus in my book. This place has been a staple in Monticello, and we hope they are around for many more.

Food was good and fresh, but croissant option wasn't offered but now I know for next time. Subs are standard 6" only. Though the sandwiches were good and fresh ingredients, a little higher priced for the portion size (perfect if 8" or bigger).
The Italian subs with Italian and balsamic vinaigrette was excellent. Added the peppers to enhance the flavors. The turkey club sub was good, but the cheese seemed more than meat. The meat portion was comparable to subway not compared to other delis. The grilled cheese (toastie) was very good size for a kids meal with and perfect balance of melted cheese.
The desert options were amazing and looked delicious and good variety.
Drink we got was the half lemonade half iced tea. Very good.
Restrooms were very clean and spacious.
Seating area was enormous. Plenty of seating
Parking was a little difficult being downtown but just a short walk in the cute town.
Overall I would say a 4.5 rating. We spent $30 for 3 sandwiches and 1 drink.
