Village Wine and Coffee

Village wine and coffee: the perfect little shop! Fueling my morning caffeine and carrying a diverse array of wines and a special shout out to their amazing wine tastings!
Nestled in the heart of Shelburne center, this is defiantly the local favorite. The rustic feel and charm when you walk in is inviting and cozy. The baristas are always friendly, asking all the questions I forget need to be answered before crafting drinks. I highly recommended any of the pastries at the counter, especially the scones!
My most recent love for Village Wine and Coffee has been their Friday night wine tastings. The first night we went I was blown away by the wine selection, the ability that our server was able to articulate the different wines, regions and flavors as well as parings (or what not to eat so as to truly experience the wines). We also queued in that the tastings are ‘bring your own food’ as groups streamed in throughout the night with bowls of him made pasta, cheese plates, even take out pizza. Needless to say, we stepped up our game after that.
Truly a hidden gem, being just beyond the Burlington boundary. Looking forward to next week’s tasting!
Pro tip: parking can get a little crazy. If it’s looking super busy you can park just a little ways always at the plaza next door and walk. You will be glad you did!

I can’t remember what the name of the drink we got here was… something like the Ultimate latte… but it had maple syrup in it and I think heavy cream? In any case, it was AMAZING (but not a health food). I usually hate sugar in my coffee drinks but the flavors went so well together in this one and sweet was really not the predominant flavor. Overall, it looks like a cute shop as well!

If I lived in the area, I’m sure that I would be a regular here. With several tables of people reading and doing work, good ingredients, and even a wine selection, Village Wine and Coffee has a lot to offer.
I will say that my mocha was a little weak, but I did choose 1 shot, so maybe if I chose 2 it would’ve been more similar to my normal experience with the drink.

Nice place but weak hot chocolate drinks. Two tries to get a hot cocoa that was hot and two tries to get a chocolatey mocha. Don’t forget a saucer for drippy drinks please :)

I love this place! I have had nothing but top notch customer service and products since I started coming here about 7 years ago. Also its a great place to meet up with a friend or hang out for an hour or two. They have fun music and events to check out and often offer prizes at them.

Quality establishment. Maple scone and coffee was great. Can’t speak for the wine. Excellent customer service.

For this part of the world, pretty damn find wine selection.
Part of the roll of the dice in deciding to stop is is whether there’s a wine tasting going on. Always willing to try some.
Just so y’all know, I first came in here after a particularly hard day, looking to get some emotional soothing from a mocha latte. Caffeine, chocolate, and coffee takes that, «JFC! I’m about to f***ing die!» edge off.
They have a little sign telling you how to prep your order so things go smoother. To go, not to go. How large? What kind of coffee? What kind of dairy? So I proudly step up to the counter and chant my little ditty, «To go, 12 oz mocha latte, 2 percent, extra shot.» «Whipped cream?» «Why the hell not?»
Looking around, it’s a little Mom and Pop kinda place. Besides the walls of wine, lots of little edible treats. Corkboard with local info. Rack of postcards. Little café tables.
Nice.
Then the mocha arrives.
Mound of whipped cream with drizzles of chocolate.
Hmmm. This looks promising.
One sip and the… what are those opiate-​like drugs that your body releases in times of bliss. Yeah, those.
Absolutely the best mocha latte ever. (didn’t Train sing about this?)
it’s the only thing I ever order.
I have been known, on a bad day, or even a bad afternoon, to get in the car and drive the 20 minutes to get here.
Then I discovered their baked goods.
The one I will rave about is the savory scone, pear and some spice.
Granted, it’s not like a scone from the old country.
Wish they would call them different names.
But is amazing.
If you don’t need your tastebuds smacked with the equivalent of a gustatory baseball bat.
The pound cake is also crazy good.

Good coffee, friendly and prompt service. The muffins are delicious. My kids and I can’t drive by without stopping anymore.

One of the best coffee shops outside of Burlington.
Because I live in South Burlington, it is usually a huge hassle to go into downtown, find parking, and go to a coffee shop. This place is pretty far down on Shelburne rd, located at the downtown intersection, but it is not too bad of a drive and there’s ample parking here though it could get busy sometimes.
The espresso based drinks, perhaps not as good as those at Maglianero, are decent and very well priced. You can get a 16oz double shot Capuccino for a little over four dollars. The wifi here is free and pretty fast.
I would highly recommend this place if you are sick of the college-​y downtown café scene.
Also, they regularly have wine tasting sessions that seem pretty awesome.
Anyone who can’t stand trust-​fund /​yuppy vibe should stay away from here…

they pour a great cup of coffee. the scones are really yummy. and there are excellent local art hanging on the walls (feels like a low-​key exhibit of sorts). a great place to do some interneting!
(i’ve never bought wine here, but from overhearing conversations, it seems that the owner personally knows every bottle in the store. kind of impressive.)

Adorable little coffee shop with an impressive wine selection. The staff is very friendly and the coffee is excellent.

Hands down one of the top coffee shops in VT. The staff is always friendly and they really know their customers. The coffee is fantastic and the espresso is smooth. I highly recommend trying a latte because they take their time making it and the extra care shows in the taste and appearance.

This café is right on the starting periphery of the crunchy-​healthy-​hippie vibe that makes Burlington what it is. We stopped here on our way into town and had a really pleasant experience. The staff behind the counter were very friendly, the baked goods were homemade (try a raspberry sour cream muffin… yummm), and the beverages were nice. It wasn’t very busy when we stopped by. We didn’t stop to check out the wine selection but it looked pretty extensive. I’ll definitely come here again if I’m in the area.

Excellent atmosphere, baked goods, and coffee drinks. I have spent about 4 hrs/​day here this week while waiting for my kid to get out of two different short kids’ programs (one early am, the other late pm). The mix of patrons is nice– tourists, grandparents with kids, families, people doing some business. Service is fine. Some of the baked goods come from O Bakery at Shelburne Farms. They are all good!
Not sure why others are bothered by the fact that this is a wine and coffee shop. It is clearly named as such. Sure, if you happen to come during a wine tasting on a weekend it will be more crowded. But in my experience over the past 3 yrs, the folks here are happy to have customers interested in either side of the business. I’ve popped in and out to get a drink or a snack here quite often, as this shop is on the road to my in-​laws. This week is the first time i’ve really spent a lot of time sitting here and it has been a delight.

Great coffee, the best I have found in Vermont… and knowledgeable, friendly service. Come here 3 times and they will know your name, I can almost guarantee it. Also, the pastries are homemade every day and are some of the best you will ever have. Great atmosphere, too — with local art always on display on the walls. (and, if you like wine, Kevin is a great guy to talk to about it!).

Keep wanting to like this place but I always stand in line too darned long while they ignore me and chat with regulars. I find the service quite unfriendly – unless they know you.

This café is a combination coffee house and wine shop. I am not sure which came first, but the presence of all of the valuable wines throughout the place make it somewhat less comfortable to just enjoy your coffee without having to talk to a wine salesperson or feel like you might be in the way of one of the wine salesman selling to another customer.
This concern aside, the help was courteous efficient and fast. We had iced coffee and tea and cannot comment specifically on hot beverages. The iced coffee we had was somewhat strong and bitter, perhaps what would be desirable for an espresso, but not great for thirst quenching.
Our iced teas were freshly brewed but unfortunately also tasted bitter as if hot teas had been used rather than custom blends for iced tea. While it was fresh brewed and used high quality ingredients, we did not sense that they had paid enough attention to their cold brewed beverages.

Would love to give this place a 5, the coffee is amazing and their wine selection is impressive. It is the best coffee we have found in or near Burlington without a doubt. The baristas are friendly and quick. The lack of 5 is for the atmosphere, we always feel quite out of place because we aren’t there for a wine tasting or for some meeting or event taking place. It isn’t a come in grab some coffee grab a table and chat place. Maybe we should start going during other times to see how this changes, i.e. early morning but so far seems somewhere you can’t kick back and relax. This may be the layout, counter is in the middle of everything and standing in line seems to be in the way. Again GREAT espresso and coffee, will go back and keep trying.

I adore this place. I would live on their floor if they would let me. The wine selection is huge, the coffee is amazing, and the spinach cheddar scallion scone makes me wish I could eat scones for every meal.
Add the free wireless and the beautifully simple aesthetic of the interior and you have one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to.

At last a West Coaster can enjoy real coffee on the East Coast, that is if you happen to be on route 7 just below Burlington at this very cool coffee shop that knows where to buy coffee, how to make it, and also makes their own whip cream! K, pretty much East Coast coffee is weak and uneventful, SO, any place that has the sense and taste to serve the real stuff from out west – rich, flavorful, yummy – deserves big time kudos. I have literally driven 2 hours just to get a mocha from this little S. Burlington gem. That’s the difference folks. Try it, you’ll like it.
