Espresso on Main
168 S Vermont 108, Stowe, VT
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Stowe's Main Street, this spot punches way above its weight with impressively crafted specialty lattes—their oat milk version is so good it'll make you reconsider what coffee can be in a mountain town. The warm, knowledgeable staff navigates a charming hybrid space that blends serious espresso work with a curated local market vibe, complete with pastries and provisions that feel thoughtfully selected rather than generic. It's the kind of place where you'd expect the coffee to be an afterthought to the general store concept, but instead, they've made the espresso the real reason to stop by.”

One of the best Oat Milk Lattes I have had on our NE Fall colors trip. I left wondering if the OMlatte was so good, the regular milk would have been even better!
Best coffee in town. It cannot get any better in a remote location. Best staff and best coffee.
A cute little spot selling tasty pastries and coffees, amongst their other small grocery store provisions. The staff was friendly and helpful. The prices are a bit high, but that’s to be expected in a spot where they’re closing the gap for a community need where there are not a lot of other options nearby. They are operating on temporary hours right now which isn’t clear and is my only gripe—on google maps it says they open at 9am but it was actually 9:30 so I felt a bit foolish waiting outside. But I do recommend the lattes and almond croissants and it’s worth the stop!
The Farm Store is easily the best local market anywhere in the area! It’s like a little slice of what you’d find in Stowe on the other side of the mountain. It is a must-visit if you’re driving past Jeffersonville on your way to or from Smuggs - they have an excellent selection of coffee, pastries, dairy items, healthy foods, snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, medicines, body care essentials, and so much more! It’s basically a mini market with a carefully-crafted selection of items you’d find at a Whole Foods, CVS Pharmacy, and an actual farmers’ market. It might be a bit more expensive than some other places, but you can come here knowing the things they sell are much healthier and better for you! Be sure to get here early when they have all of their baked goods still available - they will sell out later in the day! And as for parking, it can be a little tight sometimes, but there is always space on the street. Just check this place out sometime…you won’t be disappointed!
Nice local store. They had a variety of products like food or incense. However I found that most of the “specialty” foods could be purchased at my local grocery store back home. It may be special to the locals but it’s not very “fresh” when you think of farms. When I look for a jam I’d like it to be freshly packed. Not packed in a factory that sent out hundreds of thousands of jars at once a year ago. The espresso was good but nothing fantastic. The staff was super nice! Scone was yummy! I loved this plant that was for sale on the counter. Not many coffee shops around here so this is a nice spot to have for sure! They also had candles that smelt pretty good!
