Great coffee shop, my favorite on church street! Really yummy fresh pastries- their lemon blueberry scone is terrific. Lost the fifth star because they got rid of their sandwiches!! They were divine. read more

Pretty good and very fast service. Coffee was amazing. I was disappointed to see staff being rude to an older woman looking to use the bathroom. read more

The Kru customer make up of both flat landers in search of a spot to do their college assignments and the classic Burlington millennial speaks to their ability to successfully reach multiple audiences. With the leaves beginning to fall, I felt called to order an autumnal baked good: a maple-glazed apple cider donut. The maple frosting sharply cut through the cake donut, adding an evenly distributed Vermont-flare to each bite. The donut was clearly made this morning with care and precision, icing still soft and the donut still fluffy. The head baker at Kru certainly knows their profession well. The iced coffee was delicious, with the vanilla syrup blending smoothly alongside the coffee. The texture is delightfully silky. I was energized after drinking half of the large size. read more

"Barista" girl with the pink hair who takes orders needs a major attitude check. Nasty as could be, impolite, and super passive aggressive. Seemed extremely bothered that we wanted to order something. Did not acknowledge us until WE fought to get her attention. (She was literally doing nothing starting at the wall) We asked for the price of an item and got scolded for not hearing her mumbled answer correctly the first time. lol yeah no thanks I am not tipping your entitled employee who has 0 customer services skills. Will not be returning . read more

This place has the best cinnamon rolls but they sell out because they're so dang good. They have the best accommodating workers there and the place is so cozy! 10/10! read more

I love Kru coffee! We came on a Sunday morning in the summer around 9 am and there was no line. The cutest, most comfortable spot to get caffeinated, chill, get some work done, meet up with friends, etc. They hit all the stops from their superb ambiance to just having great coffee and food. I love how big the space is. They have tons of seating-couches, booths, tables, and more. Awesome decor. Great vibes. Nice music. They make their baked goods in house, the scone I got was delicious. Just how a scone should taste-crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. My dad really liked the breakfast sandwich he got, he said the ingredients tasted really high quality and that the nitro cold brew was the best he'd ever had. Employees were very friendly. Overall, top tier coffee shop! read more

Best coffee shop I've tried in VT! Lots of places to sit, eclectic menu, and everything was amazing. We tried a matcha latte and the special latte called sage against the machine with sage, brown sugar, and orange. If I lived nearby I would be a regular. read more

I tried the Cardi Bee. It was incredible, I struggle with a lot of coffee places because the coffee is not strong but this one was perfect! The service is good, they gave my dog treats which was so nice. Ambiance was the best thing! They had someone play live piano which was so cool! read more

Can't say enough good things honestly. Every new city I visit, I find the local coffee shop. Kru has a great vibe, cool merch, nice staff, a great location, and the muffin that I had (raspberry chocolate chip) may be one of the best I have EVER had. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Kru Coffee - Latte and muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Whether you want a good cuppa Joe while walking shopping in downtown Burlington, or a cool little spot to hang, read or study--Kru serves all those purposes. Loved the vibe of the shop, the beans were perfectly roasted and full of flavor, and I had my selection of outdoor / indoor seating. Super friendly baristas from ordering to pickup. Probably one of the bigger coffee shops right off the main strip. I would definitely recommend. read more

Kru Coffee - Breakfast sandwich and mocha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Used to be a good place where baristas were properly trained. Now I am getting a big blob of foam instead of latte art. And they want 18% percent tip at the minimum on top of that just for shouting my name to pick up my order. read more

Very kind workers, and the service was very fast considering how busy it was! Lots of seating options, and a friendly atmosphere. I would return! read more

Stopped here on our last day after struggling to decide where to grab a coffee due to many places being closed for Labor Day. We were very pleased with the choice, as the coffee was VERY good. The wait was a tad longer than I would have liked, but not unreasonable. The overall place was very clean and fresh looking, with a fun layout and numerous seating options to both relax or get some work done. The overall vibe of the place was interesting - my initial reaction was that it seemed like they combined the Apple Store and Abercrombie, but then decided to make it a coffee place. The music lightened up a bit a moment later, but the image stayed stuck in my head regardless. I'm still not sure if that's good or bad, but it seemed like a good place where you could somehow both relax and be productive. read more

I visited Burlington for this first time and was introduced to this coffee spot by my hosts! The interior of Kru is so aesthetically pleasing and modern, so at first glance there's already a positive feeling. The ambiance reminds me of a hip spot that one can relax with friends, family and acquaintances over a snack and beverages, and perhaps get some quick work done. I have tried the Lotta Colada tea (tastes like pina colada with some lingering lavender flavor), Nutella latte, Godfather, and Nitro Brew coffees and they all tasted amazing! There are also sandwiches and a variety of pastries in the store. The staff was always very nice and also made sure that they were patient with me; I even asked about their personal recommendations when I felt stuck on multiple options and they never hesitated to assist me even when the shop seemed busy. Don't hesitate to visit Kru if you need a hot/cold beverage around church street! read more

Very good drip and espresso coffee on one end of the Church Street Marketplace. Lots of seating, friendly service and many drink options. Recommended. read more

Kru has an amazing atmosphere and tons of seating, although during its busiest hours it gets filled up fast. Their honey lavender latte is good, although it lacks much taste of the lavender which makes for a somewhat dry coffee. Their pastries are perfect; I highly recommend the blurberry lemon muffin. Will come back again! read more

This place is perfect for anyone looking to have a casual meeting or get some work done in a lively environment. They're always crowded, but if you get there during an off time there's no issue, especially now with their outdoor seating. Have frequented here many times, and simply which they had more flavors or specials, but otherwise no complaints as they have rich and smooth espresso. read more

If you're prepared to wait in line, Kru is great! The line was long, but it went by pretty fast. Ordering was quick and easy and the wait was only few minutes. I got a chai latte, it wasn't as sweet as I would like it to be but they do have a station with milk and sugar so that was perfect for me. It was a pretty social environment, so I personally don't know if I would be able to get any work done there and it was crowded so there weren't many seats. Overall, I enjoyed Kru a lot for a to go experience read more

I went here twice during my 3 day vacation in Burlington. I got the Nutella Latte hot one day and cold the next. Tastes great either way. Loved the atmosphere and the workers were friendly. read more

After my family left Burlington, the first place I went to was (of course) a coffee shop. Kru Coffee is spacious, bright, and airy with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and service was quick and friendly. This is definitely somewhere you can study or get work done on your laptop. The menu was quirky and innovative; I got a normal latte and Cardi Bee Latte, both with almond milk (milk substitutions are reasonable at a $0.75 surcharge) and loved both. The normal latte had a good amount of foam, and the honey and cardamom flavored the Cardi Bee Latte distinctly. The sprinkled cardamom over the foam just elevated the Cardi Bee even further. From the space to the coffee, Kru has for sure made a regular out of me. What a wonderful introduction to the Burlington coffee scene! read more

Apart from screwing up the order which they happily corrected everything was great. The food was tasty, they use pastured eggs and the Matcha was perfect. read more

Dry nice cafe. I had a really good cold brew. Lots of nice seating and clean bathrooms. What more could you want?

The donuts.... Wow!!! May have found my new favorite apple cider donut in Vermont. Freshness, flavor, cooked to perfection. However, the "sage against the machine" latte I had was quite disappointing- it was supposed to be espresso, sage, orange zest and brown sugar. I only tasted a very slight sage flavor and the espresso flavor wasn't even that great/strong. Was a bit bummed, but I'll try a different latte the next time! read more

I parked at Pearl Street right outside the coffee shop. Didn't have change for the meter so I went in and asked if they could break a $1 bill for me as it was the only cash I had. They told me they couldn't do it even though they were in the drawer already. Told them I wanted to pay the meter and then come back in and get a coffee as I saw the meter man right around the corner but because I was using the card they could still not make me change. Then the owner proceeded to get on my review and tell me there's a bank across the street ... Talk about rude. If you go look at the last couple of months of Google reviews you will see it's a trend and not just me. read more

Polite, efficient employees, and a delicious matcha latte served with heart latte art:)

Got two cold brews, very very good. Services was quick and efficient. Ambulance was cute but we sat outside because it was packed. Got an apple cider donut too, very tasty. read more

The drinks here are very tasty. I got a cappuccino and enjoyed it! The service was fast and friendly. I do wish they would serve "for here" drinks in dishes rather than paper to-go cups. There are many seating options like low-lying couches, bar window seating, and tables. Some areas have outlets, some don't. My husband, brother-in-law and I wanted to sit and work on our computers for a while, but it was busy and we couldn't find a table with an outlet. The biggest turn off for us was that the music was really loud and not a good coffee shop vibe - they had artists like Ariana Grande, Rihanna, etc blasting over the speakers. Was really looking for a more laid-back energy. read more

Best latte I've had, other than mine at home ! Service was very friendly and helpful, as this was my first time there. Will definitely come back ! read more

My go to cafe when I'm in Burlington. The bacon egg and cheese on a homemade biscuit is my go to - highly recommend! Great coffee and vibe as well. read more

This place is so unique. The lighting is beautiful, the decor is nothing less than eccentric, eclectic elegance. Every little detail about this place is really really special, from their kru dogs photo wall to their mosaic "KRU" panel on-top of their counter. The wallpaper, the DETAILS. Everything combines to give you an energized yet cozy feel. Everyone is very professional and the service is very fast. OK now to the coffee. Holy shit. If you're not going to try the maple whole milk latte with cinnamon, you might as well go to Dunkin' Donuts. Also the nitro cold brew has an unbelievable toasted flavor with a sweet fresh. There is no bitterness whatsoever in this coffee. This coffee is brewed perfection. You will not regret coming here. This place may become a treasured gem of Burlington and I hope it stays in business for a very long time. read more

Hopped in to grab a maple latte on my way down to the waterfront and it was just what I needed! The maple flavor wasn't overpowering and gave it an interesting twist.

Staff is awesome, coffee selection is great even Nitro options available. Dog friendly and they give pup treats(bacon) if you okay it(always appreciate when the ask). Best part for me are the breakfast sandwiches! read more

We hit a few cafes in Burlington, this one was my favorite. Quick service, delicious tea, fabulous pastry. I got a fall scone and was blown away, my only negative comment is it gets busy and cramped despite the size (for good reason), so if you can come at a quieter time. Otherwise, good experience. read more

It was a little pricey for just 2 coffees, a scone and a breakfast sandwich but the quality showed and the Toasted coconut latte was phenomenal. read more
