Awesome coffee shop located inside a converted industrial building. Walls are lined with art on the way in, spot for bike parking and outdoor seating. Coffee was amazing and much needed after pedaling 4 miles from our campsite at North Beach. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Nomad Coffee - Morning roll and smoked salted caramel latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

I've been coming here since many years. I've never been so happy and was proudly telling my friends about this place. I do not recommend this place anymore. Last time the gentleman that did my latte overheating the milk to the point it was hot burning. Frothed milk past a certain temperature turns out dull. Today again the milk was too hot and dull. There's something called a thermometers specially made for baristas. Employees are lacking training, experience and a thermometer. Coffee has become expensive, they don't care for your money. Even worst, on my last visit 2 people knew I had not drink my coffee because I didn't like it, none offered me a replacement! read more

Lovely atmosphere - tucked away in an old brick building. Not sure how I passed by this place so many times without stopping in. Best Latte I've had in a long time! read more

Great coffee in a chill spot. Baristas are skilled and friendly. Took some beans back to CT with us and almost pulled off as good of a latte as they poured me. Almost :) Don't miss the Kouign-amann! Words cannot describe how magnificent this pastry is from this shop. My god, it haunts my dreams. Ate it before I could snap a photo. read more

Really great coffee in an artsy space. Burlington has a fantastic coffee scene and the espresso drinks at Nomad were expertly crafted. Bonus points for the artsy location. read more

The drinks are great, but no gluten free options. The baked goods look awesome but that is just frustrating to us GF people.

Very cool spot tucked in a co-op building right next to the world's tallest file cabinet! Delicious coffee and pastries, excellent service and great ambiance. read more

Nomad Coffee - cappuccino & cortado with oat milk -- garlic croissant! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

In town for one free afternoon. Stopped in for a coffee and snack. Their food selection was gone by 1:30, but had one of the best cappuccinos in a while. I enjoyed it on the small outdoor deck while others netted away indoors. A nice experience. read more

Most definitely my favorite coffee shop I've been to in a very long time. The coffee was executed so well and the ambiance was amazing. Their respect for product quality for their guests really stood out to me. They totally know what's up. I really enjoyed the art gallery hallway on the way in and the local pottery they sold in their retail. Also my brother said it was the best coffee he's had in his life. read more

Blown away by this place! It's tucked in the back of a co-op building but easy to find, great location for grabbing a coffee and pastry then heading to Lake front. My latte was great- the espresso was so smooth and rich. Like 90% of coffee shops in Burlington the latte was only available in a 10oz. BURLINGTON! Can a girl get a freaking 16oz. latte up in here?!?! Anyways...loved the coffee! But what really got me were the pastries. BEST kouign amman I have ever had (even better than the famed Dominque Ansel)!! Perfect flakiness, gorgeous crunchy sugar bottom....true love. Go check this place out! read more

A real crepe, Nice atmosphere and a great coffee made it a wonderful experience We will be back read more

Wow, this was really unexpected. I saw online on Reddit that Nomad had great lattes so we planned on stopping by, getting a latte, and going by the water. Instead, I got distracted by a piano, played the piano, got applause, and a free latte. I didn't realize how much I needed coffee and a piano. This place is amazing. read more

Such a hidden gem. I love the rustic appearance of the place. The rather tall man was so nice to repeat his words cause I could barely understand him due to his mask. We got ourselves a surprise at the end - free delicious blueberry muffins! Go if you have a chance. It's right behind Howard Center's headquarter and across from the city market. read more

Well prepared tasty coffee, biscuits and pastries. Get the honey butter on a biscuit - amazing! read more

I want to preface this by saying that I live in large city and have access to some of the best coffee shops in the world and this place blew me away. It's a cool airy space where the coffee and smoothies impress, and the house made pastries; to die for. Savory, sweet, they have it all. Get at least 3, you won't regret it. read more

This place is amazing. I enjoyed scrumptious pastries and a very good cappuccino. The atmosphere gets a high-five as well. read more

CJ (baker) is a master of his craft! Pastries are out of this world!! Cafe is super cute with lots of comfy seating tucked all the way in the back of the building. read more

Long overdue review: This place is great. The parking situation is a little unclear, but I haven't been ticketed or towed so I guess I'm doing it right (I just park in the spots closest to Nomad). It's a little tricky to find the first time - you can access it from either side of the building (you'll see what I mean when you get here), and it's in what looks like a funky little alleyway almost, then you realize it's an entrance for a whole collection of businesses. Good coffee, good food, good people...and good wifi! read more

Nomad Coffee - A piano to play (for people who know what they're doing)! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Delicious coffee and perfect atmosphere to get work done. I posted up here with my boyfriend to do work and we were so productive with our wonderful coffee buzzzzzz :) read more

If you are passing through Burlington and can eat only 1 thing while you are here, go straight to Nomad to try baker Chris Johnson's Kuoign Amman (pronounced Queen Uh-mon). This pastry is devastatingly delicious. Its genius is in its texture: extremely crispy on the outside with crunchy large-crystal sugar on top and just the softest, most buttery pastry on the inside. Every time I eat one I worry about whether Nomad can pay Chris enough to keep him. Tip well! read more

I stopped in at the south end Nomad Cafe a few weeks ago because I live in the area and wanted to support the new business. Right now I'm on the SIBO diet, which is super restrictive and can make eating out really difficult. But, I thought I'd see how the cafe would do with accommodating these needs. Chef Suzanne Podhaizer was amazing. She worked up a tasty meal for me that met all of my needs and did it with a gracious smile. I really appreciated her kindness and willingness to work with me; I haven't always had that experience here in BTV. Needless to say, I've been talking up the place ever since. The tea was tasty as well and I liked the atmosphere. read more

Set back in an ideal location within a refurbished old mill or something turned into a cool coworking space with plenty of space for chilling, working, reading, concentrating on anything really, which I appreciate beyond words. On top of the perfect environment for enhancing oneself and finding solace from normal society in our deranged daily lives, the coffee is top notch and the pastries and baked goods are gourmet as it gets. The owner was also a super pleasant fellow. My partner and I are on a road trip from ATL up the east coast and now cutting across the north to the west, and this cafe and the overall environment of Burlington have inspired us to stay a whole week here. So we are literal nomads who have thoroughly enjoyed the *&%$ out of Nomad Coffee. Thanks! read more

primo. an excellent addition to an already excellent coffee scene. appealing, fun space, but it's the quality of the coffee that counts. extra points for a decaf latte. They are harder than it sounds. read more

Great coffee (and I am kind of a coffee snob ;), delicious pastries and funky atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Nomad makes my favorite coffee in Vermont. Their smoked maple latte (which I believe is seasonal) is insanely good and the beans they roast themselves under the name Vivid is the only type I'll use for at home coffee now. It has this depth of flavor and complexity that is just amazing and really raises the bar on good coffee. read more

Just came by here for the very first time and I'm so glad I did! Great ambience to hang out or work. Plus they seem to take their food and coffee very seriously; my breakfast sandwich and cappuccino were delightful. I hope they open up on the weekends soon! read more

We are visiting from out of town and staying down the block. This was such a treat. We stopped by just about every day for coffee, smoothies, or a pastry. Everything was excellent. Wish we had been able to try the weekend brunch options - they sound amazing! read more

I hesitate to write this review because I want to keep this place a secret. The food is really delicious, flavorful, balanced, lovely. The coffee is pretty good. There are better places for coffee alone but Nomad's coffee is solid, too. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing. It has a nice vibe. I would love them to open for dinner or snacks and stay open late. Would be a perfect spot for events too, like an open mic or something. read more

The Chef Brian Woychowski prepared a delicious croque madame with duck breast bacon! Come for the coffee stay for the food!

Amazing! Great coffee, beautiful space and the food is thoughtful and just simply delightful. The moment you walk into Nomad you can tell that Nicole and Andrew have put so much time and love into business...making it more than just a place to grab coffee. I cannot say enough about this place - between the mobile Nomad and the Flynn Ave location, I don't need another coffee shop! They nail it :) read more
