a glass of iced coffee and a game board
Noelle M.

So glad we found this place! Was our last stop in Burlington before heading out. The barista was friendly and we got some really tasty treats. I had an awesome iced latte with a housemade mocha syrup. We tried a scoop of their ice cream which we had an option from two very eccentric flavors. They also had a couple of gluten free pastry options. Loved that they had nut milk too since a few other shops in town didn't give that as an option.

On my way to visiting every coffee shop in Vermont, it took a few tries to get here, as there are only four spots inside an apartment complex garage. However, I am glad I stopped. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing and a great place to get work done. Loved the open air feelings and huge wall of windows for natural lighting. Coffee wise, it was good, but nothing special.

BEST COFFEE!!!! Staff is so friendly and they get their coffee right every time. Would choose this place over any Starbucks drink any day

Said it closes at 7pm but was closed at 6:45 when I arrived.

Finally got back here to review. I stopped by mid morning but missed most of the pastries. Options were limited but they were good. They are supplied by a local bakery. Coffee options were pretty limited. I was hoping for maybe a cold brew or even a nitro coffee option but no luck. I had an espresso and it was very good. Great flavor. Reasonably priced. I stood at the counter for 3-4 minutes with nobody else being waited on just waiting. Not a big deal but the barista wasn't very personable. The atmosphere is relaxing and laid back, light music in the background. An easy place to get some work done but I would think there are better options locally to do so. Lack of personality and lack of menu options unfortunately lose stars. The last time I was here it closed 38 minutes early and hours of operation were not updated.

Cortado

I enjoyed my visit to their Winooski location during my last visit to Burlington, so for this round, I hightailed it on foot from The Lang House to Scout's fresh location near the edge of Lake Champlain. The space offers wrap around ceiling to floor windows and plentiful tables and countertops for those looking to set up shop and work for a few hours. The fella working the table this morning was very friendly and happy to answer my questions regarding the difference between a Cortado and Americano (I can never keep all the names straight!). Needless to say, my Cortado was delicious, the wifi was speedy and I loved my little spot by the window. For those on the hungrier side, you'll also find pastries and ice cream here.

Great relaxed environment to get some work done or catch up with a friend. I like that they have a variety of seating options and plugs to charge devices. Open later than some other coffee shops, but this isn't a late night kind of place. Definitely has helped me prep for many an assignment throughout the year! Their Smoked Maple Latte is really good and they even have vegan donuts on the weekends. Plus a variety of loose teas, so lots if options available. Haven't tried the sorbet yet, it's on my list.

Originally written and posted on a duplicate profile on 4/28/2014: Within walking distance to Lake views and amidst the Old North End community, Scout & Co. is a new fixture in the area. The coffee is excellent, especially the espresso drinks. Looking forward to when they produce ice cream, which will be a nice summer time treat while walking toward the lake during the day. The pastries are made by Misery Loves Co. and delicious with coffee. This is a great space for meeting, reading, and leisurely people watching activities in the ONE.

Beet marmalade and candied walnut sorbet and Parisian "gold bar" almond pastry. Exquisite.
Lillie Z.

LOVE. Sampled their excellent ice creams in a variety of interesting flavors. My favorites: (all of them! But specifically) beet marmalade and candied black walnut sorbet(everywhere I want in ice cream. Sweet, tart, milky, and a tad crunchy); strawberry hops (strong strawberry flavor with a hoppy beer after ore); Apple miso and seed (Miso over Apple flavor but you get a sense of both); rhubarb and black licorice (very licorice-y) Parisian "gold bar" pastry that looked like a muffin and tasted like I would expect a gold bar to taste like. Brown sugar sweet and decadent. Almond yum. Melt in your mouth soft. Cute espresso but tiny cup. Very European like in design. Lots of details on the espresso options and their "flavor notes".

$3 hipster doughnuts. They're fine. But no doughnut is worth $3. I've had so much better for so much cheaper.

If you have a pulse and a sweet tooth, walking into this place will immediately test your…read moreself-control. The smell of fresh chocolate hits you the second you open the door and instantly triggers a craving for pure sweetness. It is a total sugar lover's paradise. We started with a mint chocolate chip milkshake that can simply be summed up as a masterpiece. Easy five stars on that alone. Next up was a double scoop on a waffle cone, which was huge and made to perfection. The chocolate chip flavor was just okay, but the strawberry? It tasted like they literally went out to a farm, picked the strawberries, and turned them into ice cream right there. That flavor deserves a 10 out of 5. Since Yelp caps me at five stars, five stars it shall be. If you're anywhere near Burlington and need a sugar fix, do not pass this place up.

The staff was nice and the store is nicely set up with treats all around. It was a warm day so we decided to get some ice cream to cool down. I got the Black and White ice cream shake. It was really good. Unfortunately it was too hot of a day to purchase chocolate of any kind. We were still going to be walking around and it would melt for sure before we got it back to our place. The chocolates did look really good. We sat outside in their seating area, just outside the door. Wishing them all the best in their business endeavors.
