Espresso Bueno
248 N Main St, Montpelier, VT
Crema's Take
“Espresso Bueno pulls off that rare feat of being both a serious espresso destination and a genuine community hangout, with creative drinks like café con panna topped with fresh maple whipped cream that justify the hype. It's loud, lively, and packed with mismatched seating that encourages lingering—perfect if you want to camp out for hours, though expect a Saturday morning line. Just note that the environmental practices lag behind the coffee quality, and their menu promises more than they consistently stock.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Parking available.

Cute cafe with plenty of seating of different styles, chairs, stools, benches. A lot of things to order but actually many things are not stocked. Very long line for simple cappuccino on a Saturday morning 10am
My first morning office and it was very nice. I stayed here four hours, arriving at 7am when they opened and leaving at around 11am. I know it was that long because the limit on the parking meters is two hours and I moved from one in the front to one in the back. Inside,…
Awesome espresso bar - friendly people, great prices, right in the center of Barre. I got the cafe con panna with maple whipped cream (fresh!) and it was great.
