Absolute gem of a bakery with the fastest barrista this side of the Mississippi. Amazing sweet and savory breakfast treats.

I used to live next to this bakery and got coffee and a savory scone here several times a week. My only complaint is, there aren't enough savory scones. And they do run out later in the morning. 2022 edit: still 5 stars, so good. Donuts on Sunday morning are amazing

I finally got to try this place out today. The breakfast cakes were fantastic and they win for best local latte in town.

Great maple tart and hot chocolate. Friendly service and a bright, inviting space. Not many places to sit inside, so plan on takeout.

The only thing better than the friendly, happy staff is the incredible food. You know it's a great place when locals visit. I can't recommend this bakery enough.

I have been over to Birchgrove a handful of times since moving to Montpelier and it is hands down the best energy in a bakery and cafe I've been to yet. A beautiful compliment of kind and genuine staff, remarkably tasty products no matter what you choose, and they sell a smattering of local goods that have made great options for gifts for me and others in the form of handmade pottery and dried flower arrangements. You won't go wrong taking a visit here. And if you've got time to stop, take a peek around back at the lovely little porch on the river.

We've been visiting Birchgrove Baking for about a decade. The baked goods are consistently delicious. From cakes to pasties to scones, everything is so good! Luckily I don't live nearby, otherwise this place would become a problem. :)

One of my absolute favorite places in VT! High quality espresso, delicious pastries, and a warm and welcoming environment! Highly recommend the Monkey Bread, Cinnamon Twists, and Brioche. Plus they offer OATLY milk which is the king of non-dairy milks. Bravo!

Sunday's homemade donuts are to die for. Get there early (9:00AM) to get some of the best hand cut, hand fried donuts in the greater Montpelier area. The only bummer is a 6 donut limit per customer :(

A little out-of-the way but a good neighborhood spot. I got a latté, cornmeal shortbread, and key lime tart. Coffee was excellent. Shortbread was wonderfully crunchy but tender, buttery and mildly sweet. Tart was nicely done, but not nearly enough key lime. Graham cracker crust was very crunchy but way too thick, about a quarter inch. Taste of Graham overpowered the filling. Suggest a cookie crust would be better, and much, much thinner.

Best chocolate croissant I've ever had.
