    Excellent cortado, cappuccino and muffin. Decent amount of seating in air conditioned space that is not too cold like so many places can be.Fast service.

    Parked at the back and we were a little confused on where the entrance was, but eventually found it. Good coffee, great breakfast sandwich. Nice staff. We'll be back!

    Great window seating area with a neat art gallery.

    I met the owner at the corner pub in town and I can tell she is a great person. She gave me a coupon for a free cup of coffee and told me to come in sometime. Now I end up at this place once or twice a week for a top quality coffee beverage (been trying them all) and to catch up with staff who are starting to become friends. I've had a few breakfast foods and pastrys and was very pleased. Overall GREAT PLACE, highly recommend. Sometimes they are a bit busy, but cut them some slack and ENJOY THE ART while you wait. There is always really cool stuff to look at or potentially buy if something grabs you. The bookstore owner in the back is so friendly too :)

    Espresso Bueno is a cute little hipster coffee shop right on the Main Street in Barre. When I walked in there was no one inside, and I had to wait awhile until someone came to take my order. I think the barista was in the kitchen talking with someone, and didn't hear me come in. I ended up getting a breakfast sandwich and maple latte to go, which were both outstanding. The sandwich was made on what I believe was garlic bread which really helped to bring it to the next level flavor wise.

    My favorite place to go on Sunday's. They have such a wide variety of items on their menu for food and beverages. My personal favorite is the mocha latte. They have board games around the shop for all ages which is a great touch! Very cozy, welcoming atmosphere. A very nice place to stop in and stay for an hour or two, or to grab something on the go. :)

    Great if you're into these kind-of shops. I'm a dark, black, hot coffee guy. So, this was a plus.

    I would like to respond to the recent poor rating from someone who chose to air their…read moredissatisfaction while hiding behind an avatar, as opposed to speaking directly to management at this wonderful lunch and dinner venue. Diane, John, and their crew of dedicated employees, opened this restaurant in the summer of 2020, in the middle of an international pandemic, and still managed to rise to the top as a fantastic, family-oriented, slow food restaurant in a small town with several well established restaurants as its base. Their idea was grounded in the "simple" grilled cheese sandwich, reimagined in some delightfully tasty presentations. The menu is modest and, other than seasonal specials, is steadfast in its design! I have eaten there more times than I can count and have YET to experience any deviation from the quality they presented at the outset! How many restaurants can attest to that, alone? The atmosphere is homey (it is a former home in a lovely neighborhood), the service is top-notch and the food is delicious. The management attends to every table at least once during your stay (so there was ample opportunity for this customer to express any concerns to the person in the best position to correct any issues), and the staff consists of community members who are our friends, neighbors, or children thereof. So special is this space, the youth servers appear every spring in their prom-best to have their pictures taken with Diane and John! How special is that???!!!! This is a team that places community at the center of their work: even facilitating massive community fundraising efforts post-flood, 2024 and 2025! If you live in this area, you already know what a gem this place is. If you are visiting, put a night out (or lunch) on your "must do" list while exploring Barre's rich granite industry history. If you haven't made Barre a stop on your journey, run, don't walk and see what the buzz is all about! See you at The Meltdown!

Four stars for the apple and fig sandwich and the tomato soup, since the sandwich was a little sweet and the soup more like a tomato sauce. The owner is so energizing, resilient, and generous with her business and everyone who walks in which, alone, is worth the trip. 5 stars!!!
