After buying a first coffee and a muffin, I sat at a comfy table, plugged into their wifi and I was off. From 7:30am until 2:00pm with a second cup of coffee in there somewhere. The space is comfortable, the music is quiet and the flow of customers is not at all distracting. I really enjoyed Scout and I'll be looking for others in the BVT area during my time here.

The shop is located in an industrial artsy area near the Farmers' Market and next to Le Reprise a wine shop. I like their Dakota bread which today was still warm from the oven. You can get coffee and any manner of baked goods here at a higher than average price point ($8,50 loaf of bread). Service is attentive and helpful.

We also ordered two Donutz (mint and maple) which were meh... maybe left over from yesterday?? Anyhoo this is a large industrial feeling space with plenty of comfortable seating near the large windows that are prevalent on two sides. Natural is important when reading or working. The barista was a youngi-ish guy who was friendly and fast at moving through tbe near constant stream of people coming in on a late Sunday afternoon. We give a thumbs up for using fair trade coffee that is very smooth and having many offerings other than coffee like tea (hot/iced/ bottled), juices, sodas, energy drinks, and water.

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 out August First when visiting the Vermont area at the recommendation of a local. We came…read moreduring a busy lunch rush, and although the cafe was crowded, the line moved quickly and we received our food fast as well. 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.
