As someone who has been here since this business was in its humble COVID beginnings, it is…read morefantastic that this restaurant has blossomed and become a Colchester and Vermont staple. The food is simple, yet eloquent in its grandiosity. It's a small little, intimate café but still bustling with warmth and always packed to the brim at most points of the day. Despite that, the service is easily top-tier and they make you feel like you're a neighbor visiting after being out of town for a while. Simply put, it's timeless, made with love, and always will brandish you with a bigger smile than you came in with.

A fabulous spot to cowork with your laptop, I really enjoyed my time here. While it was packed when…read moreI arrived and I started off at a table in the center where there was not a power outlet, eventually someone got up to leave and I was able to step over to there and plug in. Excellent coffee, a large iced latte was my second coffee of the day. And with that and the decent seating against the wall, I stayed here for a couple of hours. I'd only suggest a bigger space or find a way to run power to some of those center tables. Winooski offers metered parking nearby with a limit, so check the signs.

The Cosmic Grind has a binder filled with different latte combinations/orders and I got the Cookies and Cream flavour. It was definitely a balanced, delicious latte and I'm really happy I went. There was one barista working both the register and espresso machine. It was a little bit of a wait because it was one person taking true care in making this iced latte. The ambiance of The Cosmic Grind is definitely filled with paintings and colours to make you feel like you're in space. It is a small space and so on a busier day it might be cramped. This is a place to try if you love iced mochas or different kinds of lattes. It's not where you go to rush in and out with your coffee. I recommend trying it out!
