While researching breakfast spots in Essex Junction for our weekend getaway, we came across…read moreUncommon Coffee and were encouraged by the strong reviews. When we arrived, the parking lot was busy, which felt like a great sign. It was a Saturday morning, so there was a short wait to order and to grab a table, but the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The interior is eclectically decorated and has a cozy, fun vibe that reminded us of the coffee shop in the Friends TV show. We ordered a brewed coffee and an iced coffee--both were excellent--and really appreciated the option of Vermont maple syrup and oat milk. For food, we ordered a regular breakfast sandwich and the Forager vegan breakfast sandwich. We were especially impressed to see a vegan breakfast option on the menu, as many places don't cater to vegans at all, particularly for breakfast. Both sandwiches were delicious, and it was great to feel so thoughtfully accommodated. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily recommend Uncommon Coffee to friends. We just wish it were closer to home so we could visit more often!

Good service, ambiance, and coffee!…read more I stopped by for a latte during my recent trip to VT. I ordered a Tiger Claw which is chocolate and orange latte with Oatmilk. I was not sure what to expect from this flavor combo but it was really good and balanced. The latte was smooth and perfect amount of creaminess as well. I really enjoyed it. The next day I ordered an iced latte with vanilla from Essex Resort which uses the beans from here and that latte tasted great as well!

My favorite by far is the Cubano it is a must try, it is a dinner pie that will leave you very satisfied the pickles in it are delicious. I also am a fan of the shepards pie it is what you would expect but better executed than average. This time I tried something new and got the lemon swirl cheesecake and it was perfect, perfect around of sweet, sour, tart, and creamy I am going back to get another to take home!

Which mind you an almond croissant is simply a day old croissant that is split in half and filled with almond past and rebaked. They had been out of coffee and almond croissants that day and I don't know about the ambiance for that day. However I do know that the croissant we got was not fresh it was stale and the didn't have an airy flaky texture that true butter laminated croissants are supposed to have. It tastes like they used a cheap subpar butter and have burnt the croissant. The breakfast burrito was also badly wrapped and leaking everywhere and had for some god awful reason been filled with hard boiled eggs instead of scrambled eggs which only made it harder to handle.

But everyone else in the place had food and all of it looked great, and it was packed, leading me to think that maybe the food is much better than the drinks.

It's a coffee setup like no other I've seen, but it works pretty well to help narrow your choices. Its also pretty cool that all the listed drink options are the employees favorites. We ended up getting the Jay (maple oatmilk) and the Alex (spicy maple). The spicy maple is definitely the way to go. We got ours at a medium spice level and it gave a nice heat in the back of your throat, kind of like a Mexican hot chocolate. Really wondering what the high spice level would have been. The other great purchase was a bottle of their maple cold brew. It was the perfect way to start the morning for the rest of our vacation. I'm really regretting not having purchased another bottle to bring home with me. They also have a great kids section to keep them entertained while you order or get some work done. Overall, highly recommend!

Your bill includes a tip for the kitchen, but it also says that the business cannot pay tips for waitstaff. Really? I paid $16.75 for basic breakfast eggs, potatoes and sausage. Toast was $1.50 extra. Coffees were $3.75 each. My partner and I shared one plate to cut costs. After the tip, the bill came to $33 and change. For one very basic breakfast! From a positive aspect, the place is immaculate. We probably could have refilled our coffee (VT Coffee) for no extra charge. Tables were very clean and I've never seen a cleaner restaurant floor. The staff who delivered our food were a grade above average. In exchange for the priciness and rigid rules, you do get a good meal in nice surroundings, but the price shocked me after all the extra charges.

Fries were extremely soggy. The Cole slaw I took one bite and it was most definitely bad not to mention again... no seasoning or flavor other than a sour taste which I'm 99% sure it was bad. The macaroni.... the blandest macaroni I've ever tasted. No seasoning again. No salt. Not even the breadcrumbs ontop tasted like anything. This tells me it's low quality food without any seasoning? Salad was bland. Ranch was bland. I had a few pieces of lettuce with mostly croutons. I'm mostly perplexed by how you can even make food taste so bland? I did get an assortment of pies which looked delicious but haven't had yet. Extremely disappointing experience. If you do go here I suggest bringing your own spices. $50 for all of this food to only be able to eat the fish. Don't waste your time here
