“❤️I’m obsessed with their COLD BREW! I sweeten it with agave...so addicting❤️“

“Stopped in today with a delivery, and Ana hooked me up with my first latte! And OMG was it amazing! When she offered a drink, I said absolutely! I asked for light, sweet and strong! She whipped up an iced maple latte that was literally the best iced drink I’ve EVER had!“

“🫶 Fantastic place & coffee!“

“Once inside you are transported to another place! Super friendly staff, awesome music, and Hot, HOT mouth watering delicious breakfast sandwiches & coffee! 10/10🤩“

“Located next to the UVM Bookstore, Henderson’s Cafe is a cozy spot to get some work done! I got an iced matcha latte, and I love how they use real matcha, not a pre-sweetened powder mix. There’s also some pastry/grab and go food items as well. There’s also an amazing mango black iced tea that is only $2.55 for a 16oz. The baristas are also so friendly and sweet. Call me a repeat customer :)“

“For those who don’t know this is not really a public retail shop. It’s a small snack bar more or less that is in the UVM business school building. It’s a quick grab and go place set up primarily for students and staff on campus. It has premade food items and drinks as well as coffee and tea. It’s not a sit down place.“

“Such a cute place with great coffee and perfect place to work“

“Great place for coffee when I was visiting from out of town! yum 😋“

“Thank you barrio for staying open during this awfully trying time. Shout out to Martha for always having a smile when she brings us our coffee out. Favorite barista in Burly!!!! Cheers and stay safe 💙 5 stars!!!!!“

“Kestrel has awesome coffee and the best staff. Going other places doesn’t compare!“

“We ordered the BLT and the grilled cheese..... the BLT was full of Bacon and absolutely fabulous!!!“

“Excellent location inside Market 32 Price Chopper, with plenty of tables and charging ports. Though what really makes this place: The baristas. Gracious, friendly, fast, attentive employees who don't even work for tips (Price Chopper policy). Try one of their many inventive daily specials.“

“We make an annual business planning trip to Stowe & never miss a stop(or 3) at the Black Cap. Sooo good. And we stand with them during this challenging period. Great businesses make it through.“

“Spacious, comfortable, and the chicken salad wrap was great.“

“Definitely the best bagel shop in Burlington!“

“We have been to many of the regular Burlington breakfast spots up Pine, down Church and back on Shelburne. I just had the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had outside of my kitchen. It may seem simple, but getting it just right with a freshly fried
super tasty egg (yes, a good fresh egg has a taste), crispy bacon, real cheese, and for my choice, a fresh bagel all just right is joy. The friendliness and industrious staff too it off. This is a special place.“

“Loved this place! It's nice and quirky. Gone for a casual living room vibe. I went on a Sunday; few people about. Sat and had four beers. Had a great time! (And Follinos pizza is next door-and you can order from there too- is really good!) RECOMMEND.“

“I flew into Burlington VT for a teaching assignment and needed to set up some specialized equipment for the class at the Hilton. Being a little pressed for time and already past normal lunch time I decided to stop by the Beacon at the hotel. I usually prefer local dining but I made an exception and I am glad I did. I was met with two amazing young ladies, Blake and Alison,who steered me through the menu and made recommendations. I also noticed an airline pilot setting at the next table eating a burger. He said his meal was delicious so ordered some sort of quinoa and fresh spinach salad topped with salmon. The salmon was cooked just right and the flavors blended superbly. Thanks Blake and Alison for surprising me an excellent dining experience.“

“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.“

“I’m in and out pretty fast !😀“

“I used to go here daily, but it became understaffed to the point that I showed up one day and only one girl was working there and her boyfriend was talking to her the whole time. I stopped going for years because of how understaffed it was.

I was forced to go there just now and things appear to have changed! Four employees meant nobody was waiting. The food was ready immediately. Everybody had the proper attire. I loved it!

I think I might be going back!“
