A little out-of-the way but a good neighborhood spot. I got a latté, cornmeal shortbread, and key lime tart. Coffee was excellent. Shortbread was wonderfully crunchy but tender, buttery and mildly sweet. Tart was nicely done, but not nearly enough key lime. Graham cracker crust was very crunchy but way too thick, about a quarter inch. Taste of Graham overpowered the filling. Suggest a cookie crust would be better, and much, much thinner.

We havent been here in two years and it was fabulous as ever, with lots of choices and all our faves. The almond teacakes were crunchy on the outside and dense tender inside, the donut muffins had the perfect cinammon crunch and the croissants were Paris worthy. And service of course was friendly and accommodating!

From someone that has worked in the coffee/pastry biz for almost 20 years, this is high quality stuff folks!Croissant and scones are cooked perfect and thats harder to do than most realize. Nice flaky carmelized outer layers while soft delicate middle. Nice balance between savory and sweet offerings.Maple latte was 10.0. Service top notch. Care goes into the baking and you can tell!

Excellent coffee and treats. Delightful baristas!

Sublime - just dont get there too late or the tea cakes (mini cake financier of sorts) will be gone. Give yourself a treat and ask for a coffee (cortado anyone?) and pair it with a butter croissant. A baking team and staff dedicated to excellence - and it shows.

I had an iced maple latte and the cheddar onion scone. Both were delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. They observed social distancing protocols (only six people in at a time).

Had a great mocha, which almost distracted me from the GLORIOUS SCONE I got with it. Friendly service, everyone was masked, and checkout was easy with their Square terminal - I didnt have to hand my card to anyone.Ill be back.

Great baristas. Only problem is their name. Should change to a much trendier Birch.

Best chocolate croissant Ive ever had.

Always va pleasant stop while in Montpelier 🍁

Just ate one of your chocolate cookies after my lunch and as always BOOM. I love those chocolate chip cookies and the buckwheat as well. Never fail.

The food, made and served here is spectacular. It is only surprassed by the friendly, polite service. You will be well served by stopping. Montpeliers notoriety for great baked goods is only enhanced by this wonderful shop.

Excellent little bakery and cafe with fresh baked goods that are simply perfect!

Their Hot chocolate is amazing 😍 best I have tasted in Montpelier. I love the ambience and the bakery is also amazing.

My fiancé and I just moved to Montpelier and live down the street from this bakery. If you take the time to find parking it is well worth it. I can’t remember the last time I had such delicious baked goods! And consistent. We’ve been twice and tried 4 different deserts and I can’t express how delicious they all were. The donuts alone have me coming back. Once you go you can see why the prices might be considered “high” they’re worth it. Don’t get me started on the coffee! I always think I want a larger latte but then I start drinking and the espresso is so rich, nothing like the chains. Classic Vermont small business that is worth the hype.

Best bakery in central Vermont

One of the best bakeries around

One of the best Croissants in town.. chocolate, almond, plain you name it .. but make it early ..else you will have to wait till next day .. these are sold sooper quick .

Beautiful buttery croissants with fabulously flakey texture. And the hot drinks are flavorful too!

I love, love Birchgrove! Such a sweet little bakery. We use Birchgrove for many different occasions requiring cakes and have never been disappointed! Our wedding cake (not a normal wedding cake, either) was made here, and it was absolutely amazing!

Great mochas, friendly staff, reusable straws and tasty food.

Birchgrove Backing is wonderful to work with and their attention to detail is outstanding. Jenn & John are so creative and bring in amazing cakes for us and will even stay on site or come back to ensure that the cake is placed perfectly! We highly recommend this amazing shop!Jaclyn Watson Events

Just phenomenal baked goods. We had croissants, perfectly layered and flaky, just the right amount of filling; scrumptious blueberry muffin, fantastic chocolate chip cookie. Dont miss Birchgrove when youre near Montpelier!

They have THE MOST amazing donuts EVER! Only on Sunday mornings, hit it just right at 9:00-9:15am. So yummy! Ive had the browned butter, cinnamon sugar, maple glazed and vanilla glazed. They are outstanding and good sized. A little crispy on the outside and warm and spongey on the inside. Perfect texture.

Fantastic coffee, pastries, and treats. Best in town!

Everything I tried, and I tried several things, was amazing

Tucked away close to downtown. They have amazing pastries and great coffee! Worth the drive

Best staff.

Best bakery in Montpelier! I LOVE the ham and cheese Croissant! Great coffee and espresso too! Always greeted with a smile. I love this place!

Delicious, hand made pastries and desserts. Reasonable prices for great quality

Fantastic staff and incredible baked goods. Coffee is always excellent.

If youre in Montpelier & in search of the best cup of coffee, espresso drink, or pastry...be willing to come just a few blocks north of the center of town, up Elm Street (or Rte 12 N). I promise you that this little bakery will be more than worth the trip. And who doesnt love finding a treasure off the beaten path?The coffee beans are quality, the espresso drinks are piping hot, and the foam atop a latte, for example, is thick & deep. (Underdelivery of these cafe essentials are my biggest pet peeves, but at Birchgrove I never have to worry.) Scones disappear fast in the morning, & cookies disappear fast in the afternoon. In addition to the expected cafe items, Birchgrove also offers things like sandwiches, ice cream, and has a well deserved STELLAR reputation for their custom cakes. Its also a great place to grab a pie or two around holiday time!To top it all off every single person on staff is friendly & well trained. They aim to please with their heavenly baked goods & top-notch coffee drinks, and they indeed hit their mark! Birchgrove is a great place for your morning or afternoon coffee ritual, and youll find many regulars there engaged in same...which is always a great tacit recommendation of any place...

Excellent pastries and coffee with a rare variety of options. Wish there were more bakeries in VT that had the same level of skill and passion.

One of the best bakeries in New England. I travel all over New England for work and I can say that their desserts were a huge help in closing in multiple deals and had clients email me weeks later to ask where the treats were from as they were craving them. They also make an awesome cappuccino and the staff is super friendly. I stop in every time I am in the area.

Ive never even been in Birchgrove Bakery before but I needed a birthday cake and the shop is near my home so I took a chance. The lemon meringue cake was impressive to look at and a huge hit at the party. My review is based solely on this one experience but Ill be going back.

Best donut Ive ever had in my life! Super delicious buttery raspberry croissant Ill remember forever! Thank You Birchgrove Bakery.. You F*&#ckin Rock!!

My husband and I lived in Vermont for a little over a year and we went to Birchgrove once a week if not more. Now that weve moved I am constantly craving their cupcakes, cookies, pretzels, ice cream sandwiches.... need I say more? Ive lived from one coast to the other- 4 states in total and Birchgrove bakery still stands out amongst many other great eateries.

Amazing pastries and friendly service with a small town vibe

Next level baked goods!

Oat milk has been a great alternative milk! Baked goods are delicious.

Beware your waistline! Its really hard to say no to the stuff in here so only walk in the door if youre going to order their baked goods in addition to their delicious drinks. The the treat is worth it but this is all the butter all the sugar all the flower all the time. And its done well.

Easily the best pastries in Vermont. Everything is made in small batches, from scratch, with as much local ingredients as possible. And the cakes are gorgeous!

Amazing coffee, great prices, fantastic service. We love it here!

Nice place, good Sunday donuts, but they wouldnt let my family use the bathroom. It was a ways off the main drag and inconvenient to not have a bathroom available give theres no other business close by.

The best bakery and coffee shop in town! The custom cakes are exquisite, the coffee is strong, and staff is personable.

They have the best bakery items in Montpelier and a lot of people miss it because its not directly downtown.

Caution: only 2 people are allowed in the store at a time. There may be a line.

Excellent pastries, cakes, coffee, etc.The best in Montpelier.

Love this place such good baked goods! And great staff

If you can get parking it is well worth it. Best coffee in town!

Great coffee -- and doughnuts on Sunday! The other baked goods look great but I just stick to the maple glazed doughnuts.

Cute little bakery. Delicious baked goods.

The best bakery I have ever been too, plus its way cheaper than Starbucks coffee

Walked in to get a latte and order a cake 4 days in advance. Was told they are not serving espresso today (no explanation) and that they cant take a cake order on Sunday for Wednesday delivery. No explanations or apologies; seemed they didnt care and didnt want the business.

Wonderful coffee and delicious baked goods.

Great food and customer service will get more sweets

Outstanding baked goods. Highly recommend.

I love this place, the best espresso in town.

The only scones I have ever eaten that dont have loads of sugar. I found this place by chance my first morning in Montpelier. I would buy a pastry here every day!

Great place to grab a coffee and some tasty treats!

Most delicious cappuccino and raspberry croissant

Awesome food!!!!

Great local bakery, go early for best selection

Every. Single. Treat. Is amazing here!! A must stop!

Best lattes and baked goods in town.

I used to live next to this bakery and got coffee and a scvory scone here several times a week. My only complaint is, there arent enough savory scones. And they do run out later in the morning.

Excellent coffee and excellent croissants.

Love the butter croissants.

Awesome coffee and perfect pastries.

A traditional bakery and specialty coffee shop. Limited seating.

Almond croissant. Latte. Scones.
