Scout O.N.E. — Restaurant in Burlington

I have not tried their ice cream. However their Espresso (Winooski location) was right on spot. I am an Amateur home-barista and specialize only on Espresso. I've tried almost all coffee shops in the Burlington area and this has been the only one where I can say I had a true espresso experience. They use a small La Marzocco so you will have to wait for a while if there's a line, great quality machine but can only make one espresso at a time, perfect for a small cafe like the one in winooski.

I knew the espresso was good when I noticed the barista technique. She did not measure by volume which is what they do in uncommon grounds, and volume can vary greatly with many different factors such as age of the bean, type of water, etc... She looked at the extraction itself, and stopped it manually at the right blonding moment. The result was a very complex espresso. It was very sweet, with all the caramel, chocolate and fruity flavours you should expect in espresso. And it was dense, like chocolate melting in your mouth, the way espresso is supposed to be.

My girlfriend ordered a milk beverage (cortado) and microfoam was spot on. Latte art could be improved though, but that of course won't affect the taste of your beverage and depends on the artistic skills of the...

My visit to Scout O.N.E. was a charming experience that offered a taste of Burlington’s relaxed and cozy vibe. Tucked away in a sunlit corner, this café felt like a quiet haven—perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful coffee moment or get some work done in a calm environment. The service stood out immediately: the baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and quick without ever seeming rushed.

I ordered a hand-crafted London Fog and an espresso, both of which were excellent. The espresso was rich, fresh, and served in a proper-sized cup—no oversized, watered-down versions here. I also tried a locally made pastry that paired beautifully with my drink. While some might find the pricing a touch higher than other spots on North Street, I felt the quality and experience justified it.

The atmosphere was very quiet—almost library-like—which might not be for everyone. But if you're into slow mornings, quiet productivity, or just a break from the hustle, this place is a gem. There’s also plenty of free street parking, which made the visit even more convenient.

Scout O.N.E. isn’t trying to be flashy—it’s about warmth, quality, and attention to detail. I left feeling refreshed and would absolutely return for another calm and delicious...

Looks like a Scandinavian-inspired cafe with minimalist menu. I had a scone and a bowl of Chia Seed Porridge – coconut milk, pepitas, blueberries, hibiscus maple. My friend had Wafflegatos – Waffle, with her choice of ice cream (fresh turmeric cinnamon) scoop on top, and a double shot of espresso to top it off. My other friend had a regular waffle with Vermont maple syrup and butter.

All 3 of us enjoyed our meals. My two friends also enjoyed a hot chocolate and I believe a coffee drink. The ingredients tasted really fresh. If you’re wanting a hearty breakfast with like eggs and bacons, you may want to go elsewhere because this cafe location has a limited number of items.

Customer service was great too.

This looks like a great cafe to do work, study, read, or write. The spacious clean feel is relaxing and helps you focus. The music that played sounded like instrumentals from...
