Crema's Take

This beloved South Burlington bagel destination has earned a fierce following, particularly among New York transplants who swear these are superior to what they left behind, with regulars raving about the skilled staff and signature items like the spicy Reuben on a cheddar bagel and the Vermont Maple Latte. The operation runs like a well-oiled machine despite consistent lines, with genuinely warm service that makes it equally great for a quick solo coffee grab or a leisurely family breakfast surrounded by fresh pastries and light fare. It's the kind of place where employees like Nicole remember what matters—making each order with care—and where even first-timers sense they've stumbled onto a local institution that takes both its bagels and its customers seriously.

The employees here are the best! One of them, I think her name was Nicole, made me a really good spicy Rueben on a cheddar bagel. It was delicious!

Fantastic bagel place with excellent service and fair pricing. I got an everything bagel with bacon egg and cheese. It was pretty good as far as bagels go, I’ve had better at home but this was way better than an Einstein’s Bagel or other chains. We also had a strawberry matcha latte which was exceptionally well done and earned this place rightfully 5 stars. Overall I was pretty impressed with the quality and service. The only thing I did not like were the dirtiness of the seating… but lots of quick turnaround from diners so I understand it’s hard to clean in between.

The best bagels 🥯 by far. I am from NY and you would think that we have good bagels, well nothing like these. Every time we visit our relatives we cannot get enough bagels. The staff is always the same which means great staff. When you order they remember what you said and get it right on point. They do not write anything down. They are pleasant and it’s just a great place to visit. Annie is great as well. Keep up the great work, you all deserve a shout out!!! Can’t wait to visit again next time we are in Vermont.

Wow! Great bagel and coffee stop! There was a long line, but they're clearly used to it as they are very quick! The bagels are delicious and so was my Vermont Mapel Latte! Definitely reccomend! Gluten Free Plain Bagels are also available, just not super clearly advertised!

First time here and ordering can be a bit confusing. You get your bagel order in one area and muffins, drinks etc at the cash register. Somehow the person that takes your bagel order does find you as well as drink orders. I had a plain bagel with egg, cheese and veggie sausage. Asked for egg a certain way and it was done perfect. You get a choice of cheese and I picked cheddar. The veggie sausage was not to my liking only because the spices in it were a bit strong and it was dry. Partner had a lemon poppy muffin and it was delicious. Great lemon flavor and moist. Both of us had iced decaf mocha lattes with whole milk and it was good. Sometimes decaf can be bitter but this was made fresh. Crowds can make seating hard to find and the take out crowd can congest the cashier area waiting for orders
