To Whom It May Concern (aka Management):…read more My mobile order took 30 minutes today -- and let me be crystal clear, this was not the fault of the one heroic soul working behind the counter. She was hustling, multitasking like a champ, and doing everything humanly possible to keep things moving. This note is more of a plea to management: it is DIABOLICAL to assign just one person to run a coffee shop during the morning rush. Honestly, if this ends up being the origin story of her villain arc, I wouldn't be surprised. She deserves better -- and so do your customers. To add insult to injury, since this Starbucks is inside a grocery store, there's no option to tip. So not only is she flying solo, she's doing it without the appreciation she deserves. Please, please, PLEASE staff at least two people during the morning rush. It'll make a world of difference for your team and for those of us who rely on caffeine to function. Sincerely, A very caffeinated (eventually) customer

I know it was that long because the limit on the parking meters is two hours and I moved from one in the front to one in the back. Inside, comfortable seating and a fantastic coffee. I started off with a simple cortado that was excellent. Just the right mix of coffee and steamed (not foamed!) milk. The second drip coffee was also rich and delicious. Great service, a neat little hangout here in Barre that was excellent for working on my laptop. Five stars! [Review 1665 of 2024 - 153 in Vermont - 22688 overall]

The service is always friendly and efficient, with a relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends, getting a bit of work done, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a good drink. There's a genuine local charm here that sets it apart from your typical coffee shop. My usual order is the Chai Tea Latte - their house-made chai sweetened with maple syrup and steamed with oat milk. It's rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. On warmer days, I will switch it up with the Bueno Smoothie, which is just as delicious and refreshing. I often pair my drink with one of their fresh pastries. usually a scone and it always hits the spot. The food is thoughtfully prepared, and the menu offers a great variety of light meals and snacks that cater to different dietary preferences. Espresso Bueno has a way of making you feel like part of the community, and I always look forward to my next visit. Highly recommended!

It was *packed* and there was a "regulated" frenzy lining up to get thy brew and chew. Counting seconds, minutes, and "hours" (just kidding, it moved fast), chatting up everyone and anyone when you've got absolutely nothing to do until it was your turn to find saving grace from one of the grinders spewing life changing atoms of goodness. Everyone was respectful no matter how groggy they looked. And it all made sense when I got to the pivot in the line. There was a sign that sublimely declared all Karens to keep their best behavior or simply be thrown out. I couldn't for the life of me contain my laughter. I was joined by the few I had already bantered with the last 15 minutes. They, as locals, told me that the establishment protected their employees and would gladly enforce that particular placard any day. GOOD. We don't want them around here anyways. It's already a miracle that someone, or anyone, is willing to wake up more than a few hours earlier to serve anyone barely waking up to their senses. It's a privilege to be here and I can't help but be thankful and appreciate the hardworking folks in the service industry. Thank you. Salute.
