Onyx Tonics Specialty Coffee
126 College St, Burlington, VT
Crema's Take
“Onyx Tonics is a thoughtfully curated coffee destination where the baristas genuinely care about guiding you through their rotating selection of beans from different roasters each week, making it ideal whether you're a curious first-timer or a coffee enthusiast seeking to explore new flavors. The shop strikes a welcoming balance between approachable warmth and serious craft—their espresso and pour over drinks are executed with real precision, and the calm, quiet atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering over a cup or catching up with friends. It's the kind of place where the "coffee snob vibes" feel more like passion than pretension, backed up by consistently excellent drinks and staff who actually want to help you find something you'll love.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
