“I went there with my gf as a camping trip and a birthday trip. Kerry's awesome, her staff is awesome and the place was filled with games. Food was good too and staff was available for questions and was really kind. I couldn't recommend enough this place if you ever visit Burlington, VT.“

“Amazing!!! Tasty and fresh. And, the people are really nice. Will look forward to going back!“

“We ordered a vegan birthday cake and picked up lunch when we got it. The cake was absolutely delicious and my lunch wrap was remarkably good as well. So happy!“

“This place is where great breakfast goes when it dies.

Wow. Bread, yogurt, meat, coffee, bread, and the bread... all top notch. Did I mention the bread?

Line was literally spilling into the street for over an hour on Sunday. Service was FAST, friendly, and was absolutely cruising. The locals know it, and now so do you.

Perfect place if you like a breakfast sandwich or avocado toast start to your day. The grilled biscuits were BANGIN.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Burlington Bay Market & Cafe last week while visiting Burlington’s beautiful waterfront. One of the highlights was indulging in their famous creemee – a Vermont classic! I opted for the Black Raspberry Creemee, and it was absolutely delicious. The texture was perfectly smooth, creamy, and refreshing, making it the perfect treat on a warm day.

In addition to the dessert, the food was equally impressive. The menu offers a nice variety of fresh and flavorful options, and everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The ambiance is another standout feature – with cozy seating and stunning views of Lake Champlain, it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area, especially to try their popular Maple Creemee!“

“Best cappuccino I’ve had in ages! Seriously, it was absolutely delicious. Best experience - walked in to get breakfast on Black Friday, kitchen was closed but we decided to sit at the bar and have a cappuccino. It was perfection. Such a cool place to sit and chill on a wintry day. Thanks, Happy Place Cafe - I 🩷 you.“

“Best cafeteria food.Best food on UVM campus.[All other food on campus is provided by the evil campus food provider Sodexo, and it has additives and GMO ingredients and mystery ingredients like undefined “oil”. Please don’t let your university contract with Sodexo! Be like U Mass Amherst and contract with local and organic growers ]Decent prices. Paid $16 in total for one cup of mushroom barley soup, one personal veggie pizza with pesto, and 2 cake slices (triple layer chocolate mousse; Italian Cream Cake … neither were too sweet). Pizza includes optional packets of red pepper flakes, ranch dressing, and Parmesan cheese.The area to sit is also open and has windows.“

“staff is very nice. they seem understaffed/very busy a lot of the times. I recommend, if you place an order for pick up, to come earlier than the time. Sometimes I come right on time, and its already cold, which if you get fries, they wont be the same after the microwave. it is understandable but that is just some feedback as room for growth. everything else, im happy with and come here quite often.

Parking: on weekdays, it can be quite easy to find parking around lunchtime.

Wheelchair accessibility: there is a lift inside the store. fully ADA business. kudos!“

“Great food for breakfast and lunch! Ground Coffee, fresh bagels, bread daily and assortment of drinks“
