The North Branch Cafe — Restaurant in Montpelier

I was researching a specific basaltic vinegar that I had been gifted and knew that it was from Vermont. I came across the North Branch Café, and called them to see if they could ship to me some of the incredible basaltic vinegar. I spoke with Lauren Parker (maybe the owner or manager of the North Branch??) and she said certainly, that she would call me back for my credit card information. Thanking that it was 50-50 on getting a callback, I was surprised when she did give me a call. She had looked to see where they sold this special balsamic vinegar, and it turned out that a vineyard near me sold it. She recommended that I go there and save the cost of shipping as well as support a local business. She told me all about the different types of balsamic vinegars and various ways to utilize, as well as how healthy it is for you. The point of this post is that someone went way above and beyond the norm even though they would not monetarily profit from the effort. To experience this kind of Customer Service and passion about what they’re doing and selling is quite a rarity. I was so impressed with the entire scenario that I felt compelled to write a review. I wish that more businesses understood the value of Customer Service and could be so passionate about what they are doing! Yeah North Branch Cafe!! You can be sure that when/if I am in Mountpelier Vermont, I will definitely be going to ...

We loved the selection of teas (the green sencha and black Himalayan we tried were fantastic; so 2 out of 2). Smoothies were excellent and everything is made from fresh ingredients. Golden coconut milk was my favorite; made from fresh turmeric, ginger, cinnamon sticks, etc. to maximize health benefits and yumminess factor. And I almost forgot, we tried and loved these little green matcha-coconut baby cupcake things--they are not too sweet; just perfect for a bit of energy anytime of the day. We live in Virginia, but wish we lived in Vermont so we could come here...

Resturant has outdated menus in windows and inside that do not properly list allergens, this caused my partner to be exposed to a life threatening allergen that required her to use an epi pen and were lucky to avoid total anaphalatic shock, managers and employees did everything to avoid accountability for their negligence. Ontop of that the food was awful, the chicken wrap was mostly spinach and incredibly small for 15 dollars, the the masala bun wasn't fully cooked, and the drinks were very watered down with a pool of simple syrup in the bottom. Unless you are desperate for a vegan option it is not worth the cost or...
