It's a perky café with loads of Bernie Sanders stuff, including an awesome cute crochet doll, some big carton cut-outs, and Bernie chocolate barns. One of their signature drinks, Feel the Bern, has maple and cayenne, making it a very unique latte characteristic if Burlington, Vermont.
Besides the Bernie fan stuff, they are also a coffee shop with a good purpose. They created a business that employs people with disabilities by creating a space that would be suitable for them to work.
The man that greeted us here was very cheery and helpful, even threw some Bernie jokes around, and he was sitting in a wheelchair, which shouldn't and doesn't determine whether he gets to work as a barista.
Overall, great experience. Not a big coffee connoisseur, but Feel the Bern was an interesting drink (spice-y!)

Great service, the guy who waited on me made a suggestion and a special drink that wasn't on the menu. I liked the great attention to detail.
There are a few tables inside but not a cozy spot to chat. It is small and no privacy for conversations. The place is very political.

The mocha latte was pretty good and the music and vibe is very friendly. They also have free Wi-Fi and cardboard cut outs of Bernie to work next to 😂

You'll get a nice dose of liberal wokeness when you first enter. Stay for the superb drinks. Barista was great and he took great care of us. Definitely the best chai around.

I loved this place. Visiting from New Jersey.
You can feel the welcoming environment that Burlington brings you on this coffee place.
I will visit again and get my Bernie pictures.

Great coffee. Not a wide selection, but the quality makes up for it. They source from small farms, and they give people with special needs jobs. Gotta love their mission.
Friendly service. Cozy atmosphere. Free WiFi.
A concert DVD was playing on the TV when I was there.

Great place on King St. Lots of local products, good coffee, cute location, and a variety of baked goods for purchase. They have a nice patio as well. The "Feel the Bern" was very nice with a light spice that doesn't overpower the coffee.

This place is a hidden gem amongst all the places to get coffee around church street! We always get Maple lattes and the owner is the kind of friendly and polite that is infectious! The coffee is always top notch and consistent and they have a variety of non dairy milk options and different flavors for your coffee. If you haven’t been yet- give it a try!
The shop has great atmosphere and plenty of outdoor seating! It’s also decked out with lots of pride flags so my partner and I always know we are welcome! We’ll be back soon too!
