Visiting the Maple Reserve was on my list of places to go while in Vermont this weekend. Touristy?…read moreYes. Worth it? Heck yes! Stopped in on Saturday midday thinking I was going to get a latte and maple creemee. However when I get there, I saw some guys drinking beers at the bar which piqued my interest so I took another look at the menu. Why not get an Affogatotini? Caffeine and a maple creemee all in one! This was DELISH! The girls that work here are so nice. I visited twice in the same day and both times this place was swamped. They took it in stride and still had a smile on their face while working through the line. The Maple Reserve offers ice cream / creemees, coffee, pastries and serves alcohol. They have a little area where you can also buy pure Vermont maple syrup, jams, sauces, small kitchen accessories, etc.

I saw one woman chilling on her laptop who had bought 3 things for herself: a cup of ice cream, some sort of cocktail, and a boba drink. She looked like she was loving life. Made with espresso from locally roasted coffee beans, the affogato with maple creemee was absolutely divine. They drizzled more maple syrup atop the creemee. It wasn't too sweet and just perfectly creamy, as the name suggests. I was pleased to see that there were many gluten free options, including the waffles, which come on sticks like popsicles. Would make the 3 hour trip just to try those one day. The Maple Reserve is definitely Aya-approved.

Unfortunately, I can't speak to their food, but I do hope to return and try some soon. The motorcycle themed cafe is beautifully decorated and creates a space that you can comfortably work in or hang out with friends and family. It's warm, welcoming and inviting. I tried their Cinnamon Mocha Latte with almond milk and it was perfection in a cup. The staff is also super friendly and welcoming, and happy to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend Kickstart Cafe!

Black Cat Coffee opened very recently on Main Street in Chatham, adding to the local coffeehouse…read morescene in this small village. The place has a relaxed atmosphere with the order counter towards the back, potted plants, framed pictures on the walls, mounted buffalo head, and a few toys (Kidrobot, rubiks cube, stuffed plush toys) high up on a wall shelf. There's long "conference" table with chairs in the center of the room, soft sofa with coffee tables, and stool seating along the front window. They also offer free wifi access too. The drink menu is straightforward offering hot & iced drinks including coffee, espresso, cappuccino, machiatos, lattes, tea (cup or pot to stay), iced tea and cold brew (coming soon at the time of posting). They also have a few baked goods for sale to go with your drink. I stopped by Black Cat Coffee recently for coffee. I got a Medium 12 oz Hot Coffee ($3 plus tax) which was very very hot and definitely needed a cardboard hot drink sleeve from the creamer & sweetener station. The service here was prompt. The coffee was brewed just right and no bitter taste, even drinking it black. I took advantage of the free wifi to catch up on news while enjoying my hot breakfast food I picked up from another cafe with my hot coffee.

A pleasant cruise in the countryside and about 45 minutes later we arrived at this food cart in the driveway. There were only 1 couple ahead of us in line, and this gave us time to look over the menu board to see what they got. Chose about 8 or items and paid for it. People were nice and pleasant. Line started to build up behind us. All the donuts we had were great. Donuts were cold but it's cold outside. Tasted fresh. Filled donuts were filled all the way with tasty fillings. Overall flavors were on point. The one ham and cheese croissant was tasty once we warmed it up in the microwave at home. Really like the pistachios cream donut. Worth the trip. Probably can't do much of this though as I am sure donuts is not good for the diet but donuts do make me happy.

The Dirty Hippie iced espresso drink is my number one go-to - which is like their take on a dirty chai latte, with cinnamon and all, it's incredible. They do have food as well, so this is the perfect place to stop by for a pick-me up or breakfast / brunch pit stop. I highly recommend bringing your laptop or book, and just hanging out for a bit enjoying your beverage, etc. They have a cute little loft with several comfortable seating arrangements up there, as well as a couch and some bar seating space downstairs in the main area. It is dog friendly and they often times have several in and out so that's a plus as well! 10/10 recommend. #1 favorite local spot, hands down.

I was never a daily coffee drinker until I found Lucy Jo's. I add a lot of milk to my coffee (about 50%) so I prefer the Deception because it still has a strong flavor after all that dilution.

I'd definitely give this place another try, but I hope they pay a little more attention to those details.
