Birchgrove Baking
279 Elm St, Stowe, VT
Crema's Take
“This Stowe bakery strikes a rare balance between serious craft and genuine warmth, where buttery, laminated croissants and thoughtfully-balanced drinks like their maple ginger latte arrive in an atmosphere that feels genuinely welcoming rather than pretentious. Whether you're grabbing a London Fog on your way home from a night shift or settling in with a ham and cheese croissant, you'll find staff who seem to actually care about your day, making it the kind of place locals return to again and again. The pastries are clearly made with real technique and quality ingredients, but what keeps people coming back is that rare combination of excellent food, great coffee, and an energy that feels like home.”

I stop in often on my way home from overnight shifts. They have a fabulous London Fog and the croissants are so buttery and beautiful. 😋 Yum.
So good. I have gotten a variety of baked goods here and they have all been excellent. The drinks are delicious! Not too sweet. A delightful place!
I'm new to the area and got a custom birthday cake for my daughter here. The cake was delicious and beautiful. The coffee is great as are the pastries. Will be adding this as a regular stop for days out with the family.
Hands down my favorite of all the places we visited in Montpelier! The ham and cheese croissant and maple ginger latte were phenomenal. Lots of options, friendly service, and a long (but fast moving) line so you know it’s good.
I have been over to Birchgrove a handful of times since moving to Montpelier and it is hands down the best energy in a bakery and cafe I've been to yet. A beautiful compliment of kind and genuine staff, remarkably tasty products no matter what you choose, and they sell a smattering of local goods that have made great options for gifts for me and others in the form of handmade pottery and dried flower arrangements. You won't go wrong taking a visit here. And if you've got time to stop, take a peek around back at the lovely little porch on the river.
