A bit on the bitter side but it was balanced out by how rich it felt. It was perfect on a rainy cold afternoon. This was the third coffee shop I tried in town this week while I visited from Berkeley, CA and I'd definitely recommend it.

What an incredible coffee shop! The staff is so helpful and…read morehelps you decifer their menu of various coffee drinks and roasts. I opted for the specialty latte - Sesame Seedzn, which had orange blossom, cardamom and orange sesame. It was amazing and so unique! It was lightly flavored with orange flavor. My boyfriend got an Americano and they let him choose the type of espresso in the drinks based on the varieties on the menu. He chose one that had grapefruit and cocoa notes - it was really good and not bitter at all. We enjoyed our drinks in the coffee shop, which was comfortable. There were plenty of tables and chairs. If you enjoy a good cup of coffee or a unique latte, give Onyx Tonics a try!

I went to The Cosmic Grind with a few friends as we wanted to have a different coffee experience. I…read morelove iced mocha lattes. 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!

We tried the eat the east breakfast sandwich ($11) and the vermonter sandwich ($16). I especially liked the vermonter sandwich and the bread it came on. The cafe also sells various bread items and baked goods. One thing to note is that since the cafe is counter-serve, seating is also first come first serve. We were able to snag a seat right as someone left, but for that reason I would recommend coming at a less peak time if able. August First is deservedly a busy spot in Burlington and I would be there often if I were a local.
