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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

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…
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.…
