“Very good cappuccino and iced oat milk latte. The kouign amann was also good and there are a few gluten free options like smoothies. The space is big and comfortable, id prefer slightly quieter music with a more laid back energy but not picky, just have sensory issues. Would love to see a gluten free pastry or sandwich option.“
“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.“
“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!)“
“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♡“
“Want the best experience in Burlington? If you are traveling, or a local, this beautiful concept offers the top cocktails, and pizza in the city. Pete made the experience phenomenal. Good drinks, service, and conversation. I literally fell in love with the energy of Wallflower. I (as a critic) recommend this as a 10/10!“
“I’ve lived in Burlington for over ten years, and this is my favorite coffee shop to stop at. The staff are so kind and the art and drinks are so creative. They make the best maple oat milk latte and their special drinks are unique and very yummy.“
“It's pumpkin spice season and I was lucky enough to find Kestrel Coffee for a quick pumpkin spice latte and lemon poppy seed muffin. The coffee wasn't too sweet and had an authentic (not artificial) pumpkin flavor. The muffin was delicious and very lemony. It's a smaller coffee shop, but has a nice atmosphere with a super friendly staff!“
“One of the best coffee shops I've ever been too, even after years of living in Brooklyn. They take their time with each order, and you can tell they prioritize making a good quality coffee over mass producing as many coffees as possible. They also have different drinkware when you dine-in, which is a really nice touch as most places still give you the same plastic cup either way. I cannot recommend this place enough.“
“Very cool vibes inside. Especially loved the woods beams throughout! The coffee was HOT and the scones were delicious! My husband got a "pot of tea" in a cast iron tea pot.... They literally have a wall of loose tea leaves to fit everyone's fancy; so many flavors to choose from. The spicy chai was delicious as well.“
“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.“
“My maple latte and rooibos latte were absolutely delicious and very well made. There is very little seating and honestly its kind of cold inside, and the barista was loudly watching TV before and after making the drinks which I didn’t love. Overall, really good place to grab a delicious drink and skedaddle.“
“Impressive variety of foods from the basics to more niche health-minded foods like vegan meat substitutes, beverages, ice cream, snacks. It has everything a grocery store would have and the prices were fair. This Old North End market is more than what you would expect from a small local market - I grew up in New England and you see these sorts of markets all around but this shop had something different about it and I appreciated walking down each isle and browsing the selection. If you need a snack or a few groceries and are nearby it's definitely worth checking out.“
“Breakfast attached to the hotel. You order and pay at the counter. They have a few different hot breakfast options. They have other grab and go type breakfast items for purchase as well. My boyfriend and I both ordered the avocado toast. We grabbed our coffees from the counter and found a table. We had a waitress bring out our food. We were also offered water which was brought to our table. Very nice staff. I also liked that they had a VT maple syrup option for my latte!“
“I love the extensive options here. I recommend the Yashi and their muffins are always great. I love that they have vegan flavored cream cheese and all the vegan options you could want from Just egg to vegan sausage and carrot lox. The bagels themselves are not the best in town and it sucks you cant dine in but best place to get an early morning breakfast any day of the week.“
“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.“
“Every two or three weeks, for years now, I've gotten 2 lb of Italian roast whole bean coffee at speeder and earls. Although those helping me come and go as they graduate from college or move on to other jobs The young people who work in this coffee shop have always been very laid back and very helpful. The atmosphere in the coffee shop is the same, laid back and inviting. The Italian roast is fabulous. I'm getting ready to go spend 3 months down south to get out of Vermont's winter and one of the things that I know I will not enjoy about being in Augusta Georgia is that nobody, and over the last 3 years I've tried a bunch of them, has Italian roast to match the Italian roast at speeder and earls.“
“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!“
“An innovation in egg sandwich technology. The “chicken-fried egg” is unlike anything my tastebuds have gotten a hold of. The donuts are uniquely pleasing, an adventure of textures and tastes. Only downside is that they don’t take phone orders and the online ordering is glitchy and more expensive. Also, when they do sandwiches to go they don’t actually wrap them up in a way that would preserve their heat. Definitely more of a dine in location, which is strange because their food selections seem like it would most likely lend itself to on-the-go dining. Still deserves a 5 star review though for whatever egg-based witchcraft is happening in the kitchen.“
