Nestled in the heart of Shelburne center, this is defiantly the local favorite. The rustic feel and charm when you walk in is inviting and cozy. The baristas are always friendly, asking all the questions I forget need to be answered before crafting drinks. I highly recommended any of the pastries at the counter, especially the scones! My most recent love for Village Wine and Coffee has been their Friday night wine tastings. The first night we went I was blown away by the wine selection, the ability that our server was able to articulate the different wines, regions and flavors as well as parings (or what not to eat so as to truly experience the wines). We also queued in that the tastings are 'bring your own food' as groups streamed in throughout the night with bowls of him made pasta, cheese plates, even take out pizza. Needless to say, we stepped up our game after that. Truly a hidden gem, being just beyond the Burlington boundary. Looking forward to next week's tasting! Pro tip: parking can get a little crazy. If it's looking super busy you can park just a little ways always at the plaza next door and walk. You will be glad you did!

This is my go to in Shelburne when I'm home visiting friends and family. The coffee is pretty…read moredependably good as are most of the pastries. They have an art gallery and wine shop as well and the coffee shop is a pleasant place to work. Part of me likes the fact that they don't have wifi as it's kind of old fashioned but it can make it a bit hard as a place to work. I usually just get the regular black coffees and I like that they have a selection of roast levels here. Pricing isn't cheap but it's what I would expect for the area. I wish they had cold brew as the ice coffee is not the same or as good. My wife loved the maple latte and that they do half caff. She recently ordered a matcha that wasn't great but they said it was the end of the bag and gave us a free iced decaf latte instead which was very nice. With the service, location, and dependably pretty good coffee, I will continue to patronize this business.

It's a pretty good bakery!…read more We randomly wanted to stop by shelburne farms before we had to fly out of Burlington and we saw the farm had its very own cute and rustic bakery on site! What we tried: * snickerdoodles * gingersnap cookie * cherry brownie They were solid treats, selection was alright but it was about 11am and it seemed like a lot of things were gone. The gingersnap wasn't my cup of tea but I thought the snickerdoodle was good. Will have to come back to try the breads!

Enjoyed not only stopping by the organic O Bread's Bakery in the Farm Barn at the working Shelburne…read moreFarms, but also picked up some great baked goods - organic seeded baguettes (coated with sesame, poppy, fennel and flax seeds) and an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (with walnuts). My family wanted to take a hike along the grounds, but also pick up something for our Sunday lunch. While they normally buy O Bread's wares in their local Burlington grocer, they like grabbing its baked goods super fresh when they hike like we did at the Shelburne Farm grounds. While it was an early December Sunday and most of the other local producers were not operating, O Bread was open for business. O Bread's baguette was flavorful and that cookie was awesome! Recommend you stopping by if you're in the neighborhood! Well worth it!

Focaccia with great tasty holes, a good sprinkle of flaky salt, and a rich, crunchy olive oil bottom crust. The arugula is pre-mixed with a vinaigrette. The tuna is sustainably harvested.

I won't even mention the fudgy double chocolate brownies with sea salt or the incredible lemon ginger puff pastry squiggles or the sumptuous toffee cookies.

Just enough spinach and cheese to not overpower the butteriness of the croissant. Will definitely look for the savory croissant in the future. The Cream & Currant Scone was not too sweet while still being a mix of dense and delicate [in the best way]. Smaller interior but designed in a welcoming way so we were able to seat ourselves comfortably. Cool that you can watch the people making bread and baked goods through the window while ordering & sitting. Excited to try more baked goodness here.

This marked our fifth year visiting the fabulous Vermont Cheese Festival. This year it returned to…read moreShelburne Farms south of Burlington for the first time since 2019; the most recent festival was held in Greensboro in 2023, and there was no festival in 2024. So it was a big welcome back in 2025, and the event -- held inside the newly reconstructed, enormous breeding barn at Shelburne (please see the photos) -- was quite a big deal. There were perhaps 50 or so vendors, and the general public was limited to just 1,000 tickets, which made it, unexpectedly, something of an elite event. (Tickets were sold out months in advance.) The festival offers a wonderful opportunity to meet the these dedicated craft cheesemakers and, best of all, sample their work. And wow, did we ever sample their work!!! We won't go detailing each of those cheeses, but please know there were many and not a one disappointed us. Other vendors offered everything from ciders to jams, sauces, charcuterie and -- believe it or not -- peanut butter. At a cheese festival? The atmosphere is inviting and rewarding for the makers and the public, and assembling such a large and skilled group of crafters in one place makes for an extraordinary moment. We congratulate the executive director of the cheese council, Hale, who did a splendid job. A couple of small issues for us: while there were a few chairs outside the barn there was almost no seating at all inside, and there was space which could have been worked fine, we think. And after a hour of walking around, a sitting break could have felt good. Also, there were food trucks selling ice cream, Indian food, cookies from King Arthurs, but they were placed placed pretty far from the barn, requiring a bit of walking. We also enjoyed the band playing outside, but they too were a bit moved from everything else. And then, it was hot -- near 90, but that's just the way it was. And for attendees, it was clearly not the temps defined this dazzling event. We're ready for 2026!

My wife and I recently had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival as…read morevolunteers a couple of weekends ago. We had signed up to help and it turned out to be so much more than just service. Right off the bat, the food was extraordinary, what a spectacular showcase of Vermont's artisanal cheese scene! Samples ranged from classic cheddars to Gouda to pepper jack, all crafted by passionate local cheesemakers. We also discovered delightful pairings, cheese and jam was a Hit; I wasn't expecting it, but "jam is my jam," as one participant aptly put it. lol As for service, the volunteer coordination was seamless. Helping vendors set up before the crowds arrived gave us a chance to chat with cheesemakers, learn about each cheese's story, and feel truly connected to their craft. The staff were friendly, organized, and the energy was warm and welcoming. The ambiance was downright charming. Set at historic Shelburne Farms' Breeding Barn, the festival unfolded on a perfect summer day - sunny, scenic, and relaxed. It felt like celebrating cheese right in the heart of verdant Vermont, complete with the buzz of fellow cheese lovers, artisan vendors, and farm surroundings. A bit of history: This year marked the 13th Annual Vermont Cheesemakers Festival, hosted by the Vermont Cheese Council at Shelburne Farms. The festival is rooted in Vermont's rich artisanal cheese tradition, highlighting how the state leads the nation in cheesemakers per capita. It originally began as a celebration of the state's cheesemaking success a sort of "cheese carnival" introducing the public to local producers and their craft. Notably, this year's event was completely sold out tickets were snapped up well in advance, and none were available at the door. Even the general admission waitlist was full, and volunteer slots had closed early too. This level of demand speaks volumes about how beloved and highly anticipated, the festival has become. Volunteering at the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival was a fantastic decision. The combination of exceptional cheese, purposeful and friendly service, and a picturesque setting made for a memorable afternoon. It's clear why this sold-out event has become a beloved summer tradition. We'll definitely be back, with or without volunteer duties to savor more of what Vermont's incredible cheesemakers have to offer!
