6 Best Cafes near Barre

“Delicious baked goods and coffee, AND you get to visit with sweet adoptable kitties? What’s not to like? Went for my daughter’s birthday today to this cat sanctuary, and she loved spending time with their cats. They have a large cat room with the biggest, coolest cat tree I’ve ever seen. These cats are definitely well cared for. They had cool cat decor and novelty gifts everywhere, and my daughter picked out a space cat tshirt. I had the best iced sugar cookie I’ve ever had from a bakery. We’re from South Burlington and it was definitely worth the drive. They even decorated my daughter’s to-go box with birthday wishes and a friendly feline. ❤️ Thank you both for making my daughter’s birthday a very special one.“

“Love the atmosphere and the entire team at eb!!“

“I ordered the 4-pack medley of zebra bars. ALL were delicious, especially the chocolate & peppermint variations which had a LOT of chocolate & peppermint flavor. Unfortunately I wasn't able to detect coffee flavor in the mocha variety or peanut butter in the PB variety. But ALL were delicious. No complaints whatsoever.“

“Best coffee shop in Vermont. The staff is amazing and so helpful. We happily patronize Capitol Grounds weekly because of the quality coffee, chai tea lattes, and breakfast sandwiches.“

“They have baked goods from Sweet Alchemy and Butterfly Bakery, two of my favorite bakeries in the area! Drinks are probably tasty, not too sweetened. It is on the pricy side -- $15 for a masala chai latte with oat milk and an blueberry raspberry fruit bar, but a good place to stop by when I'm only visiting the area.“

“A charming little spot that has a delightful name.

The soup I had reminded me of something a loved one would have made for me when I was sick. It was well-seasoned and had lots of flavor but the ingredients used were more important than what could be added to change them. A refreshing take in a world flooded with truffle oil and sriracha.
They also serve cafe beverages. Nothing is made with a massive, industrial espresso juggernaut. Even the coffee here has a chill vibe.
All of the food has a rustic quality that matches the homemade flavors and the homey decor. It's the kind of hip joint that the Brooklyn scene popularized but places like Outerspice perfected with well-sourced ingredients, customer service, and rural location and clientel. The sign says most of what you could want to know about this restaurant. Bold, simple, and smart.“
