If you're in Montpelier & in search of the best cup of coffee, espresso drink, or pastry...be willing to come just a few blocks north of the center of town, up Elm Street (or Rte 12 N). I promise you that this little bakery will be more than worth the trip. And who doesn't love finding a treasure off the beaten path?

The coffee beans are quality, the espresso drinks are piping hot, and the foam atop a latte, for example, is thick & deep. (Underdelivery of these cafe essentials are my biggest pet peeves, but at Birchgrove I never have to worry.) Scones disappear fast in the morning, & cookies disappear fast in the afternoon. In addition to the expected cafe items, Birchgrove also offers things like sandwiches, ice cream, and has a well deserved STELLAR reputation for their custom cakes. It's also a great place to grab a pie or two around holiday time!

To top it all off every single person on staff is friendly & well trained. They aim to please with their heavenly baked goods & top-notch coffee drinks, and they indeed hit their mark! Birchgrove is a great place for your morning or afternoon coffee ritual, and you'll find many "regulars" there engaged in same...which is always a great tacit recommendation of any place...

Just phenomenal baked goods. We had croissants, perfectly layered and flaky, just the right amount of filling; scrumptious blueberry muffin, fantastic chocolate chip cookie. Don't miss Birchgrove when you're near Montpelier!

I had an iced maple latte and the cheddar onion scone. Both were delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. They observed social distancing protocols (only six people in at a time).

Had a great mocha, which almost distracted me from the GLORIOUS SCONE I got with it. Friendly service, everyone was masked, and checkout was easy with their Square terminal - I didn't have to hand my card to anyone.

I'll be back.

The food, made and served here is spectacular. It is only surprassed by the friendly, polite service. You will be well served by stopping. Montpelier's notoriety for great baked goods is only enhanced by this wonderful shop.

I love, love Birchgrove! Such a sweet little bakery. We use Birchgrove for many different occasions requiring cakes and have never been disappointed! Our wedding cake (not a normal wedding cake, either) was made here, and it was absolutely amazing!

I've never even been in Birchgrove Bakery before but I needed a birthday cake and the shop is near my home so I took a chance. The lemon meringue cake was impressive to look at and a huge hit at the party. My review is based solely on this one experience but I'll be going back.

Birchgrove Backing is wonderful to work with and their attention to detail is outstanding. Jenn & John are so creative and bring in amazing cakes for us and will even stay on site or come back to ensure that the cake is placed perfectly! We highly recommend this amazing shop!

Walked in to get a latte and order a cake 4 days in advance. Was told they are not serving espresso today (no explanation) and that they can't take a cake order on Sunday for Wednesday delivery. No explanations or apologies; seemed they didn't care and didn't want the business.
