I can't believe I've never reviewed this place before. I've been coming here since i moved from jersey in 2009... before the store "move" and expansion! Hard to even imagine now. My brother, Anthony even worked here a bit before choosing on his undergrad school!
- Ive got tons of great experiences here, from it being the designated meeting place for friend dates when i'm home from vermont every so often, to meetings with the HCC president when i used to be the SGA President, and now we're great friends! Such a welcoming atmosphere that's fostered great relationships for me.
- The PEOPLE. I don't know how the hiring process goes, but you've nailed it. The owner, Betsy really just let's people be themselves, so each employee's personality shines through. I wanna be friends with all of you. Service is exceptional always. Keep up the social content, its heat.
-The family, the women! This is a family business, and women owned, of course, and it shines through within the warm and supportive environment.
- The food and drinks, obviously. I love all the different cold espresso drinks you switch in and out. My mom LOVES your rainforest crunch (shes been getting that since 2009!) It's all delicious, tons of local farm and business support, as well as local to vermont, as is where the owner is from (and i'm currently at!) I think Someone in the family even has a sugar house in VT. The maple syrup is so good, this is one of the only places outside of vermont i can get a maple latte, so thank god it's right at home! Definitely fresh maple, too. Awesome niche they have, that has made me even more invested in this place.
-I have Celiac, and they've always been awesome with it. So relieving to go to a place that actually knows about it and cares that we (dietary restrictd people) have options.
I live, sleep, die, Coffee Coffee. Their espresso runs through my veins.
Edit: I'm supposed to be working on my upcoming (this week) finals for UVM right now, but I'm writing this instead because while, yea, im procrastinating, you deserve to know how great you are!
