I’m thrilled to find this hidden gem! They do catering too!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and fairly easy access though no button“

“my sister and I went to the Garden Of Eatin' when we where in town for the eclipse and it was such a wonderful experience! despite the boom in tourists this location must be a hidden gem because it wasn't crowded at all! it was so nice to get a sandwich and soup and sit in the greenhouse. one of the lovely people who worked there and thought we had kids with us and said they where going to see if we wanted to feed the koi, and despite not being a kid I hopped on that opportunity to feed them and it was so fun! the plants are absolutely well cared for, and the staff are all very friendly! we will absolutely be coming back next time we are in the area!!“

“Chefs corner catered a 95th Birthday Party for our dad! The food was delivered right on time, looked beautiful, was plentiful and best of all tasted delicious!! Thank you for making it perfect for us!“

“I’m in town briefly while my dog is having surgery at a specialty center. I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before picking him up to go home. I mistakenly stopped at a different cafe down the road, was greeted by staff not wearing masks and arguing with each other. I paid for my food because I was caught off guard and didn’t eat it. Found Williston Coffee Shop and immediately felt like I was in the right place. Staff was friendly and polite, wearing masks and keeping customers safe. Food was so amazing and fresh, and coffee was awesome! I’m so glad the first place didn’t work out, because my tomato basil egg sandwich was incredible. I know it’s hard right now, but you guys are doing a great job keeping everyone safe with your extra protocols, and it shows. If I come back to town I will come back, and anyone that visits the veterinary practice will get a referral to your coffee shop from me!“

“I’ve officially hit my halfway point in my weight loss journey… losing 60 lbs in 6 months. My key to it was not drinking my calories and by sticking to my Panera Diet. Thank you Panera! I want to give a special thank you to the employees at Panera who have given me encouragement along my journey. Eating healthy foods has been key to this goal.“

“Ordered 2 banh mi. Was a little disappointed I got lightly toasted sub rolls/kaiser rolls instead of a baguette style roll. Upon seeing other pics around here.They may have just run out of the baguettes when I ordered. Will try again.The filling/meat was great, if they were in a baguette, then the sandwiches would have been excellant.“

“I have been a fan of Vivid Coffee for past year and for the first time I got to visit the cafe earlier this month. The cafe is spacious and lush with plants. Had a chat with Ian, he is super nice and generous. I had a cup of cappuccino and drip coffee, they were both fruity and well-balanced. The roaster is cute and gave me a tour of how their roasting process works. Looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you to everyone at Vivid who made me feel welcomed to Vermont <3.“

“i cannot believe this place exists! for YEARS, i completely cut out the idea of going out for breakfast, as there are always little to no vegan breakfast options at restaurants. but this place has anything and everything i could ever want, AND MORE! i will definitely stop at this place every time i visit“

“Can’t go wrong with this staple in Richmond. This coffee shop has a nice vibe, good bakery items and a short lunch / breakfast menu for a sit in or on the go item.I think the lunch menu this past week had a turkey sandwich, soup and huge focaccia pizza slices.A delicious maple vanilla was spilt and their iced mocha was even made with cocoa nibs. ?“

“Really great time here. Staff was very nice and answered my numerous questions while accommodating a large group. Food was a really good and reasonably priced. Huge selection of games. If I lived in Burlington I would be there all the time.“

“Very cool coffeeshop right in front of the Co-op has great coffee and standout pastries - best croissant ? in Burlington so far - still have more to try. The building itself is a yuppie dream warehouse situation.Parking: Parking is tricky to get into because the access road right next to the coffeeshop is one way. Enter through the Howard center and there is another entrance in back.“

“I ordered the Miranda sandwich. The first bite was like getting blasted by a flavor cannon. What did I just experience? Various shades of crunchy, chewy, salty, sour, sweet, saucy, crisp. All in one place, shining independently but also pulling together as a team. Was that celery? I didn't even look at the ingredient list. I'd like to continue basking in the mystery. 5 stars“

“4. Great cafe with a big menu for breakfast and lunch and lots of amazing looking baked goods. Friendly staff and big open space. The door kept being left open so it was really cold inside. My partner had the breakfast sandwhich which he said was really good but could have benefitted from bacon (not just bacon jam). I had the chickpea salad which was good but there were a number of wilted lettuce pieces which was kind of annoying.They make their chai in-house and it’s great. They only have one alternative milk (oat) and the only option for regular milk is whole milk.They use vegetable oil on their cooktop so not great if you have an allergy to soy.No vegan options in the baked goods section except for the bread which was yummy!Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians- not a ton if you’re vegan!“

“Ordered the maple latte with oat milk. Loved the espresso they used and the maple wasn't too sweet or too bitter. This is definitely one of the best espresso roasts I've had in a long time. They also added some latte art, I was too excited to try the coffee to take a picture.Dietary restrictions: Only have whole milk or oat milk.“

“The place nails the library-esque ambiance, blending chill with productivity—a perfect setup for anyone juggling code, emails, or just diving into the latest tech read.Coffee? Stellar. It’s the kind of brew that keeps your mind sharp and taste buds intrigued, clearly crafted with care. Paired it with their truffles—rich, indulgent, a coder’s best reward.Seating’s plentiful and designed for any agenda—solo deep work or a casual brainstorm with fellow techies. It’s obvious this spot gets the balance right: great coffee, serene space, and the freedom to settle in.In a nutshell, Uncommon Coffee Place is the go-to for anyone in tech craving quality in their cup and their surroundings. Will be my regular haunt for sure.Parking: It’s a shared parking lot with a lot of other places.Kid-friendliness: You could bring your kids in hereWheelchair accessibility: It’s all on one floor so it’s easy and plenty of space“

“My wife and I visit Brio every time we visit Vermont which is as often as possible. This past October we visited before spending a day in Burlington. My wife who is not a big coffee drinker had a Calypso espresso while I a big coffee drinker went with the single origin Ethiopia Shantawene. Fast forward 4 months and I am still dreaming about that single origin espresso. I roast my own coffee at home and drink a ton of espresso and I still have not been able to recreate anything like that experience. Brio is one of the best in the business and I 100% recommend stopping while you are in the Burlington area. I hope some day to be able to pull a shot of my own coffee that can re create that experience over again. Thanks for everything you do!“

“Best in the neighborhood! Friendly staff, excellent latte and baked goods....morning muffin, ham and cheese croissant or homemade granola..its all good. Small, quaint coffee shop vibe, can get a little cramped when it's busy. Worth it♡“

“Getting to know the area since buying a cottage here and thought I'd give the local Colchester restaurant a try. What a great experience! The burger and fries were really delicious. And I'm sorry I didn't get the fellas name who waited on me but he was pretty awesome also! Great place - food AND service!“

“Lived in Essex Junction for about a year and didn't try this place till last month. Not trying it sooner was a huge mistake! Fantastic sandwiches, the best in the aera, friendly staff, and a nice place. I'm quickly becoming a regular!“

“In a city (town) full of excellent cafes, Kestrel still manages to stand out. A big part of that is thanks to Rachel, who single handedly provides the baked goods. Or should I say baked GREATS! Folks, you cannot beat an expertly crafted caffeinated beverage paired with an out of this world scone/cookie/muffin. I recommend the denizen with a breakfast sammie (that homemade biscuit, though!)“

“Had the most delightful experience at Cafe Mediterraneo. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that truly set the tone for our evening. Special thanks to Domenic, Deborah, Ava, Yvonne, and Emily for going above and beyond to make our Valentine's Day dinner unforgettable. Despite a mistake on our end with the reservation, they graciously accommodated us and ensured that we had a wonderful dining experience.The ambiance of Cafe Mediterraneo is charming and inviting, with cozy seating and tasteful decor that transports you to the Mediterranean coast. The menu offers a delectable array of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, each expertly prepared with fresh, flavorful ingredients. We started our meal with the bruschetta, which was bursting with vibrant flavors and served on perfectly toasted bread. For our main course we had a gnocchi dish with house made sauce and chicken Marsala , a true masterpiece of culinary artistry.To top it all off, we enjoyed a decadent dessert special of the night a strawberry cake that was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Throughout our dining experience, the staff at Cafe Mediterraneo provided impeccable service, ensuring that every aspect of our evening was flawless. I can't recommend Cafe Mediterraneo highly enough (we come everytime we’re in Portsmouth) for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience in Portsmouth. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving exceptional cuisine, this charming restaurant is sure to exceed your expectations. Thank you to the entire team at Cafe Mediterraneo for a truly unforgettable evening.“

“By walking by I thought this was only a walkup Creemee location because the line was always long. This store has so much more to offer once you step inside! I would recommend anything on the menu with local maple syrup. The staff were friendly thoughtful and helpful. A bonus of great sunset seating here as well!♡“

“Quality, ethical coffee and tea with a variety of classic and unique specialty drinks, along with cozy seating options. Definitely the best coffee in town with the most friendly and welcoming staff, and their care for the community makes it a local favorite!“

“I always stop here when I use the Planet Fitness next door and get my amazing homemade biscuit, egg, ham, and cheese sandwich with a matcha green tea ? They have a large seating area and lots of tasty treats, sandwiches and coffee drinks. Definitely check these guys out!!!“

“Music forward spot that's eccentric in a good way. While the live bands were switching set-ups (4 bands were playing the night we were there), the DJ in the other connected room was jamming. You can float between the two separate spaces as you want, with bars in each. There is some seating, but it's mostly standing room with a definite college crowd...although that probably had to do with the bands that were playing while we were there which were VT alumni.“

“This place is a hidden gem! It's so good and it encourages local arts. The food is delicious and really tasty. I would recommand this place to everybody.“

“Me and my wife went here yesterday around 4:00pm we want to give a big shout out to Greg for amazing customer service fantastic food his humbleness and he even brought our delicious food to our car hot and ready to eat with a great smile and much respect we will be returning to try everything on your menu the best food in Vermont we recommend this spot to any and everyone thanks again Greg for your great customer service skills and we will see you soon a very big outstanding high 5Jenn & Dan Mayhew“

“I had to do a stop over for breakfast and found this cute shop. The lady at the counter was so courteous and assist me in ordering the perfect sandwich.. I had the grilled self made roast beef sandwich. All the workers there were so nice.. I will definitely becoming back... love my coffee needed it bad.“

“Was so lucky to see a post about Sweet Alchemy on a Vegan FB page and then remembered it was near where we were wandering on Saturday. The whole menu was vegan. Got the Rainbow Bowl and the breakfast bowl. They were both amazing. Great flavor, so filling. Then we got the carrot cake cupcakes for dessert. OMG!!“

“It was the end of the day - literally minutes from closing - so the "ok" coffee from the thermos is not going to be the basis of this review, especially considering the young man behind the counter charged us half the usual price. We did, however, walk out with a pound of Speeder's Blend beans, which, after a course grind and press brew, made an absolutely delicious carafe of Joe. Looking forward to trying the other roasts, or expresso next time in.“

“I enjoy working from here and the pastries and espresso drinks are great, but I had a cup of the drip coffee today for the first time and it was way too caffeinated I feel really sick from it. I didn't realize while I was drinking it just how strong it was but this feels dangerous that I'm this wired and jittery from just one cup after 6 hours when I normally have a pretty high tolerance for caffeine. If you have any kind of health issues or caffeine sensitivities be careful!“

“This is my go-to spot for getting work done outside of the house but in the winooski area. There’s free Wi-Fi and usually somewhere to find a seat, lots of the tables have outlets near them but not all of them do.It is nice and sunny inside and the view looks right down the “onion ring”.Staff is friendly, drinks are good, pastries are good!“

“Carrier has a nice little corner on the way into Jake's ONE Market in Burlington's North End. The barista was friendly and answered our questions about the various beverages available. I had a single-origin drip coffee that was bright and delicious. My wife had the GOAT, which consisted of espresso, milk, caramel, and some sea salt. Something like this could have easily been too sweet or salty, but instead it was perfectly balanced. I wish I had purchased some of their roasted coffee to take home.“
