Cosmic Grind Coffee Shop

A friend and I from across the lake were looking for a coffee or tea shop on Church St. before heading home. We stopped into the first one we saw, which was this place. We walked in and noticed it smelled delicious. As we were looking at the menu on the wall, the man working paid no attention to is as customers. Not even a hello. Instead he continued to clean and walk out the back door to throw a box away. He came back in and we asked what their options for decaf were, as one of us is a coffee lover but sensitive to too much of the stuff. He pointed to a coffee carafe along the wall that said decaf and said that was it. Not bothering to mention any of the lower caffeine teas and Italian sodas listed on another menu board on the opposite wall. We ordered a single special drink and the employee looked absolutely miserable doing his job. He handed her the coffee and quietly said the amount. He rang us out and we wished him a good day. We're not even sure he replied as he spoke with a very quiet tone to the point it was barely understandable. Needless to say, we went a few doors down to another coffee stand in the corner and ordered a decaf maple latte, thanking the female working for greeting us and looking forward to serving customers. I'll never step foot in this location again. It was a terrible first experience on Church St., where everyone always seems so happy go lucky!

What a unique place. Recently started trying all the coffee shops in Burlington and this one definitely has the most unique flavors. I highly recommend the girl scout cookie latte.

This coffee shop may be small, but the effect this place leaves on you is out of this world. Each individual associated with this place are the most genuine and welcoming people. It would be a shame to pass by this place without stopping by for great coffee. AND. COMPOSTABLE EVERYTHING? I can’t get enough of this place.

I've been going here for almost 6 years now. I love everything about this shop—the baristas, the coffee, the customers (you'll find some of the most interesting people from all over the world here!), as well as the layout inside and outside the shop (they have a lovely outdoor patio). They offer some awesome coffee alternatives too (nice tea selection, chai lattes, Italian and creme sodas). The redesign looks phenomenal. I highly recommend coming to this local, employee-owned coffee shop and buying some of their fair trade and organic certified coffee (roasted in VT by Backcountry Coffee), for The Cosmic Grind is truly "out of this world"!

Great coffee, imaginative menu, super friendly owners. I wish the space was bigger so I could kill some hours inside! Easy to miss - don’t sleep on this joint!

This is the best coffee shop in Burlington. All the cool people hang out here. Sam is the best dog, he is a good boi. Almost everyone who goes there is a regular, its like Cheers without the alcohol. All the best gossip and street knowledge can be had here. Everyone who works there is wicked cool and you should tip them. They also got CBD, so mind your Ps and Qs.

Absolutely amazing. I ordered a London Fogg latte w/ almond milk and it was the best I've ever had. I can't imagine how good their coffee must be if something as simple as their tea was great.

Great service and then coffee was great. Atmosphere was very interesting.

Everytime I have gone here it has been an excellent experience. The service was great and staff was so friendly. I highly recommend

Best coffee in town! So many choices to choose from, great atmosphere, dog friendly, and eco-friendly! You must stop by for a delicious cup of coffee and more!
