Brio Coffeeworks — Restaurant in Burlington

I first found this coffee in a Cafe in Vergennes and was blown away. I raved about it, to any one that listened. I made a bumble account just to meet strangers and tell them about this coffee. It stayed in my mind as my long lost coffee love. I would think of it wistfully as I drank my chock full o nuts french pressed coffee, or my Starbucks instant coffee... and then, to my pseudo- coffee- connoisseur DELIGHT !!!! I found some instant Brio coffee at my local market. It is, without a doubt, the best instant coffee that could ever be made. I've only had one of the roasts but I would definitely be willing to try them all. The range of flavors and smells from a single cup of coffee from this company could never be matched at dunks or starbies or toms or jacks or anywhere else. It's smooth, with genuine flavor profiles that come through crisp and clean. It's bright, it's bold, it smells like.. your birthday morning after you sleep in on an all expenses paid tropical vacation that you won for submitting your name in a prize drawing at your local gas station, not expecting them to pull your name but here your are in paradise drinking the smoothest, most flavorful blend that normally only royalty can find. Thanks, Brio, I look forward to trying the other blends. As a mom of 3, with 2 under two, this coffee.... it's the bees 🐝 KNEES. I can't wait to visit the physical location...

Brio Coffeeworks has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in town. The moment I walked in, I was struck by its cool industrial vibe—clean, minimal, yet warm and welcoming. The baristas were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations based on what I usually like. I ended up trying their espresso tonic with a gingery twist, and wow—it was bright, refreshing, and unlike anything I’ve had before. I honestly wish every coffee shop offered this drink!

The space is perfect for both quick visits and longer stays. I found a cozy table near an outlet, which made it easy to catch up on some work while sipping my drink. They’ve really thought through the details to make the experience comfortable.

I also grabbed a gluten-free olive oil cake and a cromuffin—both were delicious and fresh. It’s always a win when a cafe offers great pastry options for dietary restrictions. Before I left, I picked up a bag of their Ethiopian beans and a couple of cold brews to take home. I can already tell I’ll be coming back regularly.

Brio isn’t just a cafe—it’s a full coffee experience. Amazing service, unique drinks, and a space that invites you to stay a little longer. Highly recommend...

At first glance, this can appears appealing. It's colorful and contrasting. It's also not too big. A nice amount of coffee as you pass by whatever cooled receptacle it rests in. At a glance it appears to be cold brew, with the verbiage imprinted upon the can.

However, do not be fooled! This is not cold brew. I'm not even sure it's coffee. It's some pretentious tomfoolery someone decided to bottle (can?) up can sell. Upon popping the lid a pleasing "whoosh" will fill your ears. You raise the can to your lips expecting tasty chilled coffee. While it is chilled, tasty it is not! Upon being poured over my taste buds, I immediately conjured up images of old leather shoes that had been sitting in a damp corner too long. I made a face. It was dreadful. As tempted as I was to immediately dispose of this charlatan beverage, I was in need of caffeine so I choked my way through the can, desperate for energy. My suspicious of it not being coffee cannot be verified, however I can state for sure that it is some kind of energy-boosting liquid.

The only redeeming aspect of this product is that the barcode is shaped like the state of Vermont. Truly...
