I went to The Cosmic Grind with a few friends as we wanted to have a different coffee experience. I…read morelove iced mocha lattes. The Cosmic Grind has a binder filled with different latte combinations/orders and I got the Cookies and Cream flavour. It was definitely a balanced, delicious latte and I'm really happy I went. There was one barista working both the register and espresso machine. It was a little bit of a wait because it was one person taking true care in making this iced latte. The ambiance of The Cosmic Grind is definitely filled with paintings and colours to make you feel like you're in space. It is a small space and so on a busier day it might be cramped. This is a place to try if you love iced mochas or different kinds of lattes. It's not where you go to rush in and out with your coffee. I recommend trying it out!

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 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.
