beautiful cafe! the atmosphere and decor are gorgeous. the only down side is that their food is extremely bland and flavorless, their matcha taste off, and the coffee taste two days old. :(

The place nails the library-esque ambiance, blending chill with productivity—a perfect setup for anyone juggling code, emails, or just diving into the latest tech read.Coffee? Stellar. It’s the kind of brew that keeps your mind sharp and taste buds intrigued, clearly crafted with care. Paired it with their truffles—rich, indulgent, a coder’s best reward.Seating’s plentiful and designed for any agenda—solo deep work or a casual brainstorm with fellow techies. It’s obvious this spot gets the balance right: great coffee, serene space, and the freedom to settle in.In a nutshell, Uncommon Coffee Place is the go-to for anyone in tech craving quality in their cup and their surroundings. Will be my regular haunt for sure.Parking: It’s a shared parking lot with a lot of other places.Kid-friendliness: You could bring your kids in hereWheelchair accessibility: It’s all on one floor so it’s easy and plenty of space

Stopped in quick for some breakfast sandwiches and they did not disappoint. Awesome atmosphere and vibe! Can't wait to come back in the future.

I'm here with my wife right now. Literally. Drinking black coffee and eating an stupidly decadent chocolate peanut cake thing.

I love the atmosphere and the coffee treats they make, but I’ve ordered breakfast sandwiches here on several occasions, and I ALWAYS have to send it back to have the egg cooked more, despite telling them at the counter it NEEDS TO BE COOKED OVER HARD- NOT THE LEAST BIT SOFT. They type it in their system, all the cook(s) need to do is READ. It has been more than a handful of times. I’ll return for coffee dates with friends, but I’m honestly a little afraid to order breakfast in the future.

Coffee is fine, but very confusing “order ahead” policy. Ordered drinks on our way to be quicker with kids, got there and waited for awhile before I asked-apparently you have to tell them you’re there to initiate them starting the drinks. Found that confusing for the purpose of ordering ahead. Just an FYI!

A really amazing coffee shop, probably my favorite in the area alongside Muddy Waters in Burlington. I used to go to Uncommon Ground and absolutely loved it, I am so happy to now go to Uncommon Coffee and experience a similar, cozy, almost pub vibe. The staff were friendly and really knowledgeable. I first got the maple latte, and then got a bag of coffee to have at home. Great place, we'll be coming back for sure.

This place is a gorgeous coffee shop, with an awesome library atmosphere that is cozy in spite of the big open ceiling. The service, however, is not what I expect from a local shop. The employees seem half excited about being there and less excited about entertaining any request outside of the norm. “Can I buy some beans in my own container to reduce waist?” “We don’t do that but we can pull one of our bags off the shelf, dump it in to your can and throw away the bag.” “Do you have sugar in the raw or honey I can put in my latte?” “No, we have white sugar and sweet and low.” Never do I sense any hint of sorrow that they can’t fulfill my request. I hate to admit it but Starbucks employees are ALWAYS more helpful and friendly than the folks at Uncommon Coffee. I love the atmosphere and definitely prefer to support a local business but it disappoints me every time anyway.

I love that it's not a chain and you go in and you feel like you're in someone's living room. It's calm and inviting. They are always pleasant and accommodating and the coffee rocks and is always fresh and tasty! Just tried the Matcha latte as well and that made me smile!

Lovely atmosphere. Library / pub vibe with lots of wood, books and plants. Nice people. I wish they were open evenings with live local music.Dietary restrictions: Has GF options
