Crema's Take

Nestled in Stowe, GiraKofi is a delightfully quirky neighborhood café where the giraffe-themed charm and thoughtfully designed space match the quality of its espresso-focused drinks—think toasted coconut lattes with real depth alongside customizable breakfast sandwiches that cater to every dietary preference. Opening at 6:30 AM and staffed by genuinely friendly folks, it's the kind of place skiers and locals swear by for that perfect pre-mountain send-off or a leisurely morning when you want to linger over consistently excellent coffee.

Delicious customizable egg sandwiches including many GF and veg options. Awesome coffee. Quick friendly service, and open at 6:30. Nothing better before a ski day! Light years ahead of eating in the lodge.

Great breakfast sandwiches and consistently delicious. Coffee the first day was so good with a deep rich flavor. I went back the second day looking for the same coffee flavor and it didn’t taste the same. Overall good experience and I would go back!

What an awesome place! Great ambiance, food and people. Wish we had this back home. I had the toasted coconut latte - amazing. Also had a breakfast sandwich with ham, egg, tomato, Vermont cheddar and sriracha mayo- prob the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place!

I love giraffes, so when we found this giraffe-themed coffee shop, I knew we had to check it out! The decor is awesome. So many giraffe-themed things! The bench out front is great for a photo op! The staff are very welcoming & the food is fantastic. They have a menu to build your own breakfast sandwich & the options for add-ons are great!

GiraKofi left us with mixed feelings. On one hand, the concept, interior, and general vibe are really well thought out — it’s the kind of place you’d want as your neighborhood café. But unfortunately, it’s missing some core elements. First, there’s no espresso machine. Everything is prepared on an automatic coffee maker, which really takes away from the craft coffee experience. It’s hard to call a place a proper café when there’s no espresso bar. Second, the attention to orders was disappointing. I ordered a cortado with oat milk but got regular milk. My wife asked for an iced latte with almond milk and received a hot one. These may sound like small details, but they make a big difference — especially in a coffee shop where precision and care should be part of the culture. While the setup is promising, the lack of friendly, attentive service and the reliance on automatic machines left us wishing for more. Hopefully, they can address these gaps, because the potential is definitely there.
