First Branch Coffee

We stopped at this coffee shop on our way back from a snowboarding trip in Vermont. My husband got an espresso and I got a vanilla latte. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee was! Usually when I get a latte I find it to be too milky with not enough coffee taste, this place had the perfect balance! The espresso was dark and strong. I also got the pistachio cake which I would get again a thousand times. Honestly I wish I had a place this good closer to our home in Jersey! Highly recommend.

Really liked the place - the coffee quality is so good for the price. The decor is rustic and pretty cool. Do try out their Cortado.

I like this new coffe shop with a great cappuccino today and awesome savory scone!! The ambience was very nice with the wood accents! I wish there were tables vs just all high tables though! Staff were great.

Great coffee and very reasonably priced! Perfect stop during a long bike ride on a weekend or a great way to hunker down and catch up on work during the midweek. Staff is absolutely phenomenal. The ambience is remarkable. The owners renovated an old, historic brick storefront that speaks turn-of-the-century Victorian-era Vermont but with an urban, modern chic vibe. Almost an industrial feel with very high ceiling, exposed utilities centered around an active copper coffee roaster.

The best coffee I have ever had. Friendly staff. Delicious baked goods- especially the almond croissants! This is a special spot that not only provides delicious drinks and food, but is a vital community gathering space for both law school students and locals alike. I always run into a friend, or meet someone new when I come into First Branch!

First Branch Coffee is one of the best places in the area to get a warm yummy drink. The space is funky and comfortable and is located right downtown in the heart of South Royalton. I highly recommend!

There was only a single barista working the small coffee counter, but she kept the line moving and was working hard. Friendly too. The coffee was very good, though I preferred Carrier in Burlington. I'll definitely visit again when I need a coffee and I'm in the area.

Quiet, clean, roomy space with good music selection and friendly staff - I really enjoyed my oat milk matcha.

I was lucky enough to touch down here on opening day and the sun was shining on us all as I sipped my cup of joe while looking onto the town square. Great location, fast, friendly staff and the coffee will have me coming back.

Fantastic roaster, carefully sourced beans, amazing flavor. I can’t wait to go back when we can sit inside again!
