Crema's Take
“Vivid Coffee Roasters is a serious espresso destination where the craft genuinely matters—baristas here nail the details on cortados and pour-overs, and the space rewards lingering with its warm, welcoming vibe tucked away on Burlington's Church Street. Whether you're a coffee specialist doing a taste test or someone seeking a comforting ritual (like the regular who stops by each morning), this roastery delivers both quality and genuine hospitality that keeps people coming back.”

Besides good roast service is the most important thing , in any coffee shop. This place FAILED to Deliver on that. We ordered two coffees (one of them decaf) and the last chocolate croissant. They made both coffees caffeinated , and didn’t give us the croissant right away , we didn’t understand why but figured they’re heating it up, so we waited. Then five mins later they gave it to another woman who was after us in line!! Completely forgetting our order. They refunded us for the croissant only…. You’d think that a respected place would refund the entire order since they messed up two out of the three items and had no way to compensate for the mess since they didn’t have any other pastry left. Not a good experience at all! And there’re tons of fantastic coffee shops in Burlington so no need to come here again.
I stumbled upon Vivid Coffee Roaster while walking down Church Street, and what a charming, delicious find it was! If you walk past the coffee counter and the restroom and head all the way inside, you’ll discover a spacious area perfect for studying or getting some work done while enjoying your coffee. But since I came to chat with a friend, we grabbed a seat near the entrance, where the cute, cozy décor really sets the mood. The big antique fireplace adds an extra layer of charm that I absolutely loved. And the latte? So rich and nutty—truly exceptional! The only downside was that I arrived a little too early, before their pastries like croissants and scones were ready, which was a bit disappointing. Visited between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. The staff were so friendly and full of good vibes!
I absolutely adore this place. I’ve been walking most mornings to get a latte here as a loved one is in the hospital & I am staying locally. This has been such a treat and I look forward to this small joy everyday. The sugar shack latte, maple latte and vanilla latte are all wonderful. I’ve also had the #2 smoothie, breakfast Sammie, yogurt and chia pudding to go. Those are all good but my favorite is the yogurt! My husband likes their cappuccino. The staff are so friendly. Do yourself a favor and go here.
Coffee specialist approved 🤍 Visited a friend and casually stopped by this spot until it turned into a full 1hr long taste test for me - had to get 2 rounds of my signature cortado test and then a drip. Really great espresso flavor if you like to taste some unique flavors and aromas - roaster knows what they are doing, highly recommend to any coffee critics like myself! This spot is definitely going on our coffee page Cortado rating: 4.8/5 ⭐️
As a coffee roaster I appreciate well crafted high quality coffee. The shop also has an excellent vibe and the staff were very friendly and poured excellent drinks. I went every day while staying in Burlington.
