Was looking for a quick coffee stop after walking around town. There weren’t many options nearby, so we ended up here, which was conveniently right across from the parking lot.nnThe place was packed when we came in around 1 p.m. Not sure what was going on, but they were closing early that day. After about a 20-minute wait, we got their signature maple latte, maple lemonade, and a maple cream cone.nnTo be honest, the drinks were pretty underwhelming. The maple latte tasted like a regular latte, and the lemonade barely hinted at maple. Just an extra touch of sweetness buried under all the lemon. I tried to convince myself I could taste it, but no. The maple cream cone, though, was good. Strong aroma, clear maple flavor, and exactly what I was looking for at a coffee shop in Vermont.

The coffee here is excellent, and the croissant is absolutely delicious — probably the best I’ve ever had! The staff was friendly and the place has a cozy atmosphere. The only downside was the long line and waiting time, but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend this spot in Vermont!

Welcoming, cozy and warm atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and knowledgable. Great selection of milks and coffees. Maple latte was perfection not overly sweet, and paired with oat milk to add an oaty and smooth flavor. One of the best maple lattes I’ve had. Line was roughly 7 large groups deep and back to the door, yet the wait was exceedingly fast/minimal! Exceptional experience all around. Seating was abundant. Was able to immediately get a table for 4 on a bustling Friday morning. Visited on Sep 26th. Highly recommend.

We were staying in the area and came into Stowe to look around and anywhere we go we’re always sure to support local independent coffee shops. We stopped in here to see what they have and I got a medium roast Colombian on drip that was quite good. I got a bag and look forward to brewing it at home. My wife got a decaf oat latte and said it was ok. Their coffee is from a roaster in Vermont called Brave and they seem to be doing good work. I’d certainly recommend giving this place a try.

Amazing staff, so friendly. Went out of their way to make a birthday breakfast special even as a takeaway. Travelled from Scotland last year and my husband has spoken of the coffee and maple croissants as the best anywhere! So on his birthday there was nowhere else I could get breakfast for him. YUM!!
