Crema's Take
“The standout here is Matryoshka's macarons—reviewers genuinely rave about them as some of the best around—which anchor a hybrid cafe-bakery-pizzeria that pulls off an ambitious menu of sandwiches, pizza, and fresh salads with real care. The execution can be spotty (fillings aren't always balanced), but when it lands, the food quality and portions justify the trip, especially if you're in South Burlington with family or friends who want variety on one menu. The family-owned vibe and friendly staff make it feel like a neighborhood spot that actually delivers on its promise.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Lot of good reviews for this place (including one claiming that it serves the best macorons EVER) led me to come here and give it a shot. Interesting vibes— seems to be a family establishment. My impression based off the overly extensive menu is that things here are not fresh.…
This place is such a gem and we are so excited to have it in our neighborhood! The food is stellar. We got a Greek Salad, Shrimp Po Boy and a Cheese Pizza. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Don’t forget to get a side of homemade ranch to dip your crust in!! And save room…
