144 Main St, Stowe, VT
Crema's Take
“Nestled in the heart of Stowe, this espresso-focused café has earned a devoted following for its excellent coffee and exceptional pastries, particularly their croissants that locals rave about as some of the best around. The maple lattes and creative specialty drinks pair beautifully with their warm breakfast sandwiches and signature blueberry oats, making it a top destination whether you're catching up with friends or grabbing a quick caffeine boost before exploring town. Fair warning: this place gets packed, especially on weekend mornings, but the cozy atmosphere and genuine warmth of the staff make the wait worthwhile.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Was looking for a quick coffee stop after walking around town. There weren’t many options nearby, so we ended up here, which was conveniently right across from the parking lot. The place was packed when we came in around 1 p.m. Not sure what was going on, but they were closing…
The coffee here is excellent, and the croissant is absolutely delicious — probably the best I’ve ever had! The staff was friendly and the place has a cozy atmosphere. The only downside was the long line and waiting time, but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend this spot…
