Black Cap Coffee & Bakery - Lattes, Sandwiches, lunch, breakfast

Best coffee and chocolate croissant- super delish

I don’t recommend Black Cap. They have a poor policy.
I traveled hours from Canada to come to Burlington, I needed to go to the washroom i asked the girl at the counter she said no i need to buy and pay to have access, I was about to do so anyway but it was “urgent” to go to the washroom! I could not even think of what I wanted to eat.
If you are on a tourist area and you have this kind of bad service and policy you are not going far!
Never again.

I came in ready to be snarky, because Black Cap isn't Uncommon Grounds and oh gosh do I miss Uncommon Grounds, and I'm resentful of the jacked rent that drove them off Church Street. So this is the first time I've been to Black Cap.

I started just wanting their cheapest coffee and a spot to sit outside in early morning Church Street. But I walked in and any chance of that snarkiness melted away. It's like walking into that first room at the Wonka Factory: slightly overwhelming in a good way as you take in all of the delicious options around you.

People, they have the best baker in the northeast. Just look at the gat-dang lamination in this ham and cheese croissant. The seasoning on the top. The perfectly toasted cheese that crept out the ends. Every bite was a marvel of flavor and texture and crispy auditory pleasure. When was the last time you ate something that captivated every single one of your senses? I need to come back another time just to eat the darn thing without spending 95% of my attention being astonished at it. (And possibly bring a bib, because I am far too clutzy an eater to not get flakes of pastry all over myself in the process.)

Amazing. Just, superlative pastries. And all of the other entries in the thesaurus for "incredible." Do not sleep on this like I did. Go enjoy.

Local coffee shop offering assortment of teas and coffees, pastries, and sandwiches. We visited on a Saturday morning and there was a single barista who was friendly, but busy. He did a great job considering. Coffee was pleasantly strong. Iced lattes were sweet.

Okay. This is the first review I’ve ever posted… but this was hands down the best pastry I’ve ever had in my life. This is the orange zest morning bun. The outside was perfectly delicate and flaky with the perfect amount of caramelization, and the inside was soo soft. The flavor was spot on… seriously life-changing pastry. Jealous of everyone who lives here and has access to this regularly!

What a welcome replacement for the much loved predecessor “Uncommon Grounds”. I had “The Dope” lunch sandwich. If you desire something light yet satisfying this glorified BLT won’t let you down. It featured Cabot cheddar and bacon, and fresh avocado with tomato on a soft 5 grain bread. Excellent. Texture and flavor profile were delightful. What keeps this from being a five star rating is the exasperatingly long wait to be served. The place was nearly empty of people. Hmmm?
Their craft beer selection is pretty good especially if you are an IPA fan.

I'm not usually in this area, so I have not had much of a chance to try many items. However, the iced coffee (specifically the almond joy and Nutella lattes) have been superb! I like my coffee smooth and sweet. The dessert always looks delicious. I do try to stop in when I'm able. You should give them a try as well!

The pastries are amazing, the espresso drinks are so cool and I totally get why it's always packed in here! Wish they had a larger space, though. But they're doing everything they can with what they have, for sure.

So glad they have expanded to Burlington. Friendly staff with good coffee, a nice place to stop and relax for a moment. I do wish they had more seating, but I understand of course the restrictions in place for COVID.

Their latte tastes like plain milk! It wasn’t worth the money. I ordered the ham and cheese quiche and it was really oily I couldn’t even finish it! Plus they dont prepare drinks in order of people ordering them. I was waiting patiently for over 10 minutes and 3 group of people who ordered after me got their orders before me… not a good experience! I know everyone is short staffed and they work hard but preparing drinks in order that they received them doesn’t have anything to do with being short staffed.
