Both are a tad too sweet, but they're so creamy and made with local maple syrup, it's worth treating yourself. Wasn't as much a fan of their GF biscuit, but I'm not gluten free. Shoutout to Alyssa who was so generous and helpful with drink recs and town excursions as we explore Vermont on our trip! Also, those little stool seats are deceptively comfy :) 5 stars!!!!

Finally, some decent poutine! I've tried it 2 or 3 times elsewhere and have always been…read moreunimpressed. Soggy french fries drowning in a mess of metallic-tasting gravy and cheesy bits that don't seem to belong. Not here. These were pretty good. Thick-cut steak fries with a crust prevented any sogginess. As did the gravy: a proper amount so it didn't resemble french fry soup. Perhaps not made from scratch but at least from a decent stock base so it had actual flavor, wasn't pasty-thick from flour, and the quantity was reasonable. The cheese curds had very little flavor of their own but I liked their texture: just slightly chewy and beginning to melt from the heat but not completely. Overall the dish was rather salty, much of which came from the smoked meat add-on. (Montreal) smoked meat is similar to what is called pastrami or corned beef in the USA. It was in the form of cut-up squares of deli slices liberally sprinkled on top. I think I'd prefer small diced cubes, the size and shape of bagged frozen carrots. Interesting, though I think I'd try one of their many other add-ons next time. I'd probably be bored with plain poutine. The best poutine anywhere? I'm still too new to this dish to say for sure. Probably not the best but good, fun to eat, and filling. I think we shared a small and it was enough for both of us for a light lunch. We also had coffee which was above average and came with free refills. Being a nice day we sat outside in the sidewalk dining area and watched the activity on the Bedford main street. There is table service outside but you go in to pay. Our waitress was great, spoke pretty good English, and helped me connect my phone to their wifi. Inside looked nice too. There was a main cafe area and a back room filled with pool tables, foosball, dartboards, and the like. It's mostly a breakfast and brunch place. There are many standard breakfast items but I'm more intrigued by the breakfast poutine and crepes. The desserts looked great too but I didn't try any. Definitely worth a visit. I'd try it again for sure.

Well, I want to edit my previous review. After trying their cold brew a few more times, I must say…read morethat it's just very strong. I doubt they forgot to dilute it every time I've been there, which means I was just too sensitive to the caffeine. That being said, be prepared for a very intense caffeine high. The $3.50 cold brew packs a serious punch. The flavor is excellent, very full and intense with a buzz that lasts 4 hours! I can barely finish a cup without watering it down. I'll also say that the wait time is usually pretty good; I'm in and out with my coffee within a minute or two. They also accept Samsung pay, which is nice. Having a coffee shop/roaster this close to the gym is super convenient, especially a place with owners who really seem to have a passion about coffee. Note: the selection still seems pretty limited, but that may improve once they have a more permanent location (if that's happening?).

Along with the wonderfully crafted coffees, there was raw sugar, and even dairy free creamer choices (which is something not all coffee shops have). The owner (and avid coffee lover), Kyle, was extremely nice, and generously explained to us his experience roasting coffee, and how he started his business. He also told us about the new location for Gold Ladder Coffee in Essex Junction that would be opening soon, and I was more than excited to check it out! Since I drive by it every day, it's going to be my new morning coffee stop. If you love great, fair trade, organic, locally roasted coffee, check out Gold Ladder Coffee! I'm sure you'll be as satisfied as I was!

Both were delicious and well prepared. I also like that they ask what type of milk to prepare it with (whole milk is a calorie crime but oh so delicious).

Both times we've stopped in twangy pop country music has been playing. I feel like a less polarizing musical choice might fit a coffee shop vibe better, and would certainly make me more inclined to order a drink there, hang out and maybe order another vs. getting my coffee and high tailing it out. Overall a great coffee shop in an area that desperately needs cool spots like this.
