The smell of fresh chocolate hits you the second you open the door and instantly triggers a craving for pure sweetness. It is a total sugar lover's paradise. We started with a mint chocolate chip milkshake that can simply be summed up as a masterpiece. Easy five stars on that alone. Next up was a double scoop on a waffle cone, which was huge and made to perfection. The chocolate chip flavor was just okay, but the strawberry? It tasted like they literally went out to a farm, picked the strawberries, and turned them into ice cream right there. That flavor deserves a 10 out of 5. Since Yelp caps me at five stars, five stars it shall be. If you're anywhere near Burlington and need a sugar fix, do not pass this place up.

The staff was nice and the store is nicely set up with treats all around. It was a warm day so we decided to get some ice cream to cool down. I got the Black and White ice cream shake. It was really good. Unfortunately it was too hot of a day to purchase chocolate of any kind. We were still going to be walking around and it would melt for sure before we got it back to our place. The chocolates did look really good. We sat outside in their seating area, just outside the door. Wishing them all the best in their business endeavors.

Luckily, I had errands at a shop in the same strip mall and stopped in to see if they had Easter chocolate. They had some of the best chocolate I have had in a long time The chocolate is very good quality, smooth, not waxy or grainy, and not oily. I also bought a few non-Easter items because, you know, why waste the trip, and everything was very good. AND the people working at the store are very nice and very friendly. I highly recommend this shop.

Mirabelle's is without a doubt the best bakery I've been to in Vermont! Everything I've tried here…read morehas been fantastic but the standout is the crème brûlée cake. Probably the best cake I've ever had. Ever. A must try! My best friend served the crème brûlée cake at her wedding a few years ago and guests from out of the area still talk about it. The cinnamon rolls are also unique and out of this world. They look kind of dry compared to classic soft cinnamon rolls but I tried one because a lot of reviewers recommended them and they were incredible and not dry at all. They must use a laminated dough instead of a regular enriched yeasted dough so you get sweet cinnamon flavor in every flakey buttery bite.

The left side room has huge variety of apparels, hats and socks. The back side has great collection of gifts, stationary , cards, magnets, posters and other souvenirs.

We bought few of those and some stickers too. This was one of the better quality souvenir store we found in Burlington area. The staff were very friendly, helped with questions and checkouts.

They also have souvenirs (stickers, signs etc). There's a book section with toys. Organic soaps/shampoo by the wall smell very good. I got a soap bar of a local farm. Good quality. At the back, there's a room full of Christmas decorations. Festival spirits throughout the whole year. Overall a great local business for visitors and the neighborhood. I'll say it's a must go stop for travelers.

A no laptop policy keeps things flowing and encourages folks to talk vs work. Breakfast menu is available all day while lunch starts at 11 and goes until close at 3p. We tried a few things: * croissant - super flaky and perfectly made. * breakfast sandwich - with sausage. Buttery and crispy edges toast with fried egg and melted cheese with sausage. One of my favorite breakfast sandwiches ever. * banner eighteen - a play on cheesesteak with broccoli mushrooms and shaved steak in a sesame hogie. This one had slight spice and a slight taste reminiscent of a combination pizza. It's a big sandwich and quite tasty. * oatmeal raisin cookie - not too sweet which I loved. Chewy. * fresh baquette. Bread . . . . . * maple lemonade - slightly sweet with a good bit of tartness. It was good! I'd definitely comeback here if I'm craving some sandwiches

We tried the eat the east breakfast sandwich ($11) and the vermonter sandwich ($16). I especially liked the vermonter sandwich and the bread it came on. The cafe also sells various bread items and baked goods. One thing to note is that since the cafe is counter-serve, seating is also first come first serve. We were able to snag a seat right as someone left, but for that reason I would recommend coming at a less peak time if able. August First is deservedly a busy spot in Burlington and I would be there often if I were a local.
