The North Branch Cafe
41 State St, Stowe, VT
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Stowe, this cafe shines for those seeking something beyond the typical coffee shop experience, with an impressive selection of teas and creative non-coffee beverages that actually feel thoughtful rather than an afterthought. The warm, attentive staff and cozy atmosphere make it equally welcoming whether you're grabbing a quick pastry or settling in for a slow afternoon, and their pastries—especially the gluten-free vegan blondie—are worth the visit alone.”

I had lunch with a friend yesterday and was very impressed. The Buddah bowl was delicious! I also tried Dandelion tea for the first time. It tasted surprisingly like coffee in a very good way. They have an great variety of other teas if you want to try something new. The atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. We sat in a cozy room in the back overlooking the Winooski river. I will definitely be returning!
As someone who doesn't drink coffee or alcohol, most cafes and restaurants have no fun beverages to offer me, but I was so pleased to see the selection at North Branch. In addition to classic chai, there were multiple latte options (including the earl grey and lavender latte shown with my shortbread), interesting caffeine free options, and a list of fancy mocktails! I rarely eat out, but I'll definitely be back here.
The best thing I’ve ever eaten: their gluten free vegan blondie with maple syrup, chocolate chunks, and walnuts. It was AMAZING. Delicious. Incredible. They warmed it up and it was melt in your mouth good. Thank you for having so many good vegan options!!
Very nice people working here, attentive and helpful. A lot of teas, which taste good and are prepared quickly. This is a perfect spot for a quick snack.
Beautiful and cozy environment. Ordered a salad, latte, and bakery sweets. Staff were nice. Not many people. Would come back!
