Coffee cake
Danielle J.

Came here during a trip to Burly to see our catamount. She loves Black Cap so we decided to try. She had a chai tea latte and my husband had a coffee. They each had the crumb cake, I had the coffee cake. Large portions enough to save for later or the next day. All was fresh and very good. Only negative from husband (I don't drink coffee) is that it was on the expensive side for what it was. Cute cafe vibe, pleasant workers!

Service was super quick but the seating area wasn't that clean and their bathroom has a code which you need to ask for if you want to use it.

Black cap makes good lattes and has an interesting assortment of pastries and food offerings for a variety of dietary restrictions. The baristas are always friendly and the vibes are very gentle and quiet. The lunch and breakfast sandwiches are pretty good-- I think they're probably better on the regular bread instead of the gluten free bread, but I like that they offer gluten free bread. They also offer beyond meat sausage Patties which is great. The chia mango puddings are always a great choice. And i love the seasonal lattes they offer. Employees have always been very excited to give me a pup cup for my service dog. Usually they are respectful of boundaries, however one time an employee took me ordering the pup cup as an invitation for them to interact with my SD. They came around the bar while my back was turned and offered him a pup cup while I was ordering-- without asking or acknowledging me.My service dog was actively working, and it's not cool to distract him. I think adults in any type of dining establishment should know not to mess with service dogs.

Located on Church Street in Burlington, expect this place to get busy. We went in a lunch and the line got long very quickly. I had the maple latte, which was pretty decent. Also, I ordered a BLT. It was decent, but the bread was very toasted and scratched my mouth. It's just too crispy and hard, and it came to my cold already. My best part was the maple croissant. Flaky and just enough sweetness. I did agree with the other comments about they putting their food in the microwave. This looks very bad and a big minus. Please replace it for a toster or something better for your health. I mean, come on, you are in Vermont. You can do better.

Blackcap, as you walk in, is filled with a homey feeling you'd get in authentic baked goods shops with an almost immediate "hey how are you" from the cashier. They take ample time to connect with you on a personal level which makes the experience much better -- their food is amazing, even if a little bit more on the expensive side. Highly worth it! You can customise your coffee even further at their customisation table (utensils, and syrups)

Chai tea latte

I was here in Vermont for work and went downtown and I like trying local places and tried this place, I like to try teas out for my stay at any place I go to, I don't like coffee but their chai tea was really good. I also got some bakery items as well, the carrot cake was so delicious and moist. The staff was very friendly and it was a clean place. It's so pretty here in Vermont

My girlfriend and I stopped in here one morning on our weekend get away to Burlington. We each got an iced coffee which was great, she got a breakfast sandwich and I got a breakfast burrito. The food was good and it was fresh which is great. The service was also good but I will say I feel like they need some more support. Shortly after we ordered we looked back and there was almost a line out the door. It seemed they only had two people working. One had gone to make the food that we had ordered and the other was taking ordered and trying to keep up with making the coffees as well. The servers themselves did nothing wrong and did great with the manpower they had but I did feel bad at the fact that they seemed so busy. The ambiance was nice and serves as a nice coffee shop/bakery and was the perfect spot to grab a bite and coffee and warm up on a chilly winter morning.

The sandwiches we got on the first day in Burlington were tasty. The ingredients were fresh and the  sandwiches were a good size.

We got into Burlington around 4 and walked over to Black Cap for a couple sandwiches before heading down to the lake. It was a Monday about 5pm. I wanted The Dope (applewood smoked bacon, tomato, cheddar, and guacamole) but they ran out of guac. No worries, I ordered the BLT & C (a BLT with cheddar and mayo). My husband had the Classic Grilled Cheese. The service was good and quick. We ate outside in their lovely seating area, enjoying the fresh, tasty food. We liked it so much, we decided to have dinner again the next night (Tuesday) trying other sandwiches. However, when my husband walked in to order at 5/5:30pm, he was told "We're not serving sandwiches at this time." Now, this place is open until 7pm. Their website says lunch is "available all day." So we were disappointed and never went back during our trip. I'd recommend this place as long as you can find sandwiches being served.

Black Cap Coffee & Bakery was the perfect breakfast choice for a Sunday morning! We got the breakfast burrito and a breakfast sandwich and both were great! They were also perfect portions when looking for a smaller breakfast for on the go or simply not to eat too much for your morning meal. We shared an almond pastry that was light and quite delightful, along with a drink special that was equally adored. It was slightly busy when we arrived but ordering was easy, everything was ready within 5 to 10 minutes. We were greeted when we walked in the door and the staff was helpful and kind. There are limited inside tables for a couple of people to share, and lots of outside space depending on weather. It's an easy recommendation to make for me. Enjoy!
