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!

Delicious coffee. Perfect foam on the cappuccinos. Bright and comfy. A favorite Burlington spot

Brio is without a doubt the best roaster in Burlington, possibly all of Vermont? Their cafe sells only brewed coffee and espresso drinks, no food. Great vibe!

The coffee was good. You can definitely tell they are catering to the coffee snob aka me. I will say the barista’s attitude was terrible. Maybe they were having a bad day?

Wonderful coffee drinks, so smooth and tasty! Great products. Really nice atmosphere. My only complaint is the lack of milk selections, why no skim milk!?

This is the best tasting espresso! The baristas all prepare the espresso drinks really well and quickly too. I think I come here almost every day lol. I appreciate the friendly vibes and personality of the space and their staff.

Amazing iced americano, maybe the best I’ve ever had. Got one every single day while in town for work

Get your weekend morning coffee on your way to the Saturday Farmer’s Market. Gf French macarons available.
Most expensive latte I've ever had, quality does not live up to cost. Great Harvest Bakery latte down the street is much better for smoothness and coffee flavor.

Best in Burlington. Shop is gorgeous, coffee is exceptional. Mocha latte was smooth, no bitterness or off notes, just the right pairing on the chocolate.

Best coffee in town.Such friendly staff. Family own. Partners in life and coffee! The owners are always happy to chat life and coffee. Very lovely.The coffee is great. Roasted in house (available around town in other markets). Seasonal and special lattes and other coffee based drinks. They even have cascara and coffee tonics, lemonades and other amazing things!It's got a night city vibe, unique colors and lighting. Their aesthetic works from the coffee bag designs to the lights to chairs to coffee itself. I really appreciate their tasting notes and details!I always love their Ethiopian, cortados and just plain ol cold brew!Thanks!

Had a tasty hot latte in the morning, came back in the afternoon for an iced one. Turns out I came in two minutes before closing: the barista went to lock the door in the middle of making my drink. I said “wow, what timing for me”, meaning I’m glad I made it in before they closed. The barista ignored me and set my drink out, clearly not pleased that I came in just before closing. I work in a coffee shop myself and feel it’s 100% just fine to come in shortly before closing - as you’re still open!!So while the coffee was good and the ambiance was mediocre the attitude from the barista is what pulls down my rating to three stars.

Love this place! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, delicious roasting beans smell, great coffee, and some really inventive drinks that have become summer favorites like espresso & tonics and the shakerato!
