A great cozy coffee shop with a cool vibe and eclectic decor. Jazz piano music playing when I was there. Espresso drinks are top notch.

We loved this coffee shop! The iced lattes we ordered tasted so good! My husband got while milk and I got oat milk and we were both very happy with our choices in comparison to other coffee we tried in the area. The atmosphere is eclectic and a bit small but worth stopping in for the coffee at least!

Muddy Waters has always been such an amazing local coffee shop and we missed it terribly during quarantine but it’s back and with a fun new twist- it’s full of quarantine monsters!!! You have to go just for the art installations. There have been 3 monsters out front for a while but there must be around 10more unique monsters inside!Additionally, Muddy’s is still serving some delicious coffee, lattes, and espresso drinks as well as a range of unique and delicious looking pastries, breads, and bagels. The bagels are always really fresh and not too chewy (you HAVE to try the spinach and everything bagels). LGBTQ friendly, local, and with so many delicious options, Muddy Waters is a Burlington cafe you need to stop by whether you are a local or just visiting!

The coffee shop has a great vibe and interior. staff is friendly. rating it 3 stars as there is no wi-fi (was surprised as most shops do) i normally don’t care but i am a traveler passing through and needed to get work done this day. they have a good tea selection but it’s only by the pot.

Great music and atmosphere, great prices. Cider, bagel, and coffee were good. Would come back to try other things on menu.

Great, quirky coffee shop just off of Church Street. Large selection of coffee, tea, and other drinks (smoothies, shakes, etc.). They always have an eclectic collection of music playing. They also have a good mix of breakfast items. Interior might be even better as it feels like a trippy log cabin/treehouse!

This place is all about the atmosphere, the coffee is alright and the rest of the food and drinks are all fine. But man, this place has a wonderful interior worth checking out.

The coffee is just ok and the specialty drinks just taste like pure syrup.

Literally the best coffee Ive ever had made for me at a coffee shop. Im pretty picky on coffee and they made it exactly how I like it. Super neat and quirky decor. Staff was friendly. Pretty spacious, surprised at how big it was based on the window.

One of my go to spots everytime I visit Vermont. I absolutely LOVE the aesthetic. Love all the art on display. Amazing coffee, smoothies, and Italiansoda. A little something for everyone.

They are open! Even though Google says they’re closed. They have the cutest art installation by a local artist “Distance Beasts”. I went in for the art and was very happy with my delicious food and drink. The merch is also adorable. Absolute must visit!

The vibe is so unique and relaxing and they make a really great iced mocha!! 😋

The coffee was outstanding and the bagels were delish. The quirky atmosphere was icing on the cake!

It’s nice and quiet when it first opens and the coffee is great as are the tea lattes, but this is not a place to work. They have no WiFi. :/ What kind of coffee shop has no WiFi?

Very comfortable spot. Friendly staff. Good coffee. Good price. Excellent location. The pastries are really excellent

Best Hot Cocoa & dollops of whipped cream in town....or out of town for that matter!

The cafe seems like a great hangout place for the college crowd. With a hipster atmosphere, and retro artsy look it is also a nice stop for those in town for a visit or that would like a non-starbucks experience.

No WIFI and extremely overpriced for what you get.

Great vegetarian chili and hummus plates. Laptop-free on weekends make it easy to enjoy food and beverages in relaxed atmosphere.

It might look a little weird with the monsters and the dark lighting (or you might love that) but I can assure you the coffee is amazing- I highly recommend a simple iced vanilla latte: one shot

Great coffee good atmosphere.

Awesome little place. My daughter took me here for the first time.

Best shake in town The Muddy Shake. As long as you love coffee 😋

Coffee= Amazing. Merch= awesome design & affordable. Decor= love the woodsy& green feel. It felt like I was walking into a secret studying forest cave. It was quiet and made me miss homework 😭. THE MONSTERS WERE MY FAVORITE AND I HOPE THEY KEEP THEM.

What an ingenious way of ensuring people are socially distanced - the installation artworks are both super fun and practical. Delicious coffee, had to go back later that same day for an equally as delicious hot chocolate. Very nice baristas, played great music.

Love. Love. Love. Its my new morning stop before work. Their vanilla chai is amazingg.

The ambience absolutely makes it (food and drink being good but comparable to competitors like Nomad). Highly recommend COVID-era Muddy Waters for the social distancing monsters! Surreal!

Cute little stop.

Great place to sit, sip, and chat!

Great lattes and baked goods

Absolutely amazing! Great vibe, great bagels!! Try the blueberry scones!

Nice place to sit, read and enjoy your coffee/tea. Friendly staff, great ambiance!

Lovely place, nice coffee, awesome vibe

Very slightly more expensive then some, good coffee, highly recommend if the interior opens up in the future

Best chai in town!!

Love this place! Their hot drinks and fresh juices are always delicious! Unfortunately its always so packed leaving no room to stay in 😟Be sure to check out the hidden random notes in the walls/trees/tables etc..

Generally perfect. Wonderdul atmosphere, homey and comfortable. Good snacks at the front, excellent beverages. A little chilly for my tastes, but nothing a good pair of socks and a hot drink cant cure. This has been one of my favorite spots in town for over 10 years now, and I cant imagine Burlington without it.

Why’s it called “Muddy Waters?” Probably because the coffee tastes like mud. Worst cappuccino in Burlington. You can do much better elsewhere (Onyx Tonics, Kru, etc).

The drinks are okay, but if youre looking for a place to sit and work, this is not it. They dont have WiFi and have limited seating that isnt in direct sunlight glaring at your screen.

One of my favorites! All of their smoothies made with cider are delicacies. I’m a native Vermonter, and I brought several friends here for the first time during my freshman year of college. They all got hooked and frequented this place for all 4 years of college!

I got the yogurt with granola, and fresh fruit. I put some honey on it, and it was really really good. Yogurt was creamy and not twangy... Yum yum yum..... I didnt get the coffee, but my friend did and he likes it.

The sign says your open, online says your open, but the rude barista says go away as she cracks jokes about it as we are walking away. Either she was rude and just want to leave early or management is lacking putting their employees out in the dry.

The place was cool but the wait was way too long to get our coffee and food. I think they need more help behind the counter. The cappuccino was good along with the vegan chili. It’s not the biggest place so we were lucky to find seating, I can’t say I was comfortable with our seats being that it was in the Isle where people had to pass to go get their coffee. The bathrooms are super small. I love all the plants in here and they have some board games. I will definitely give it another try. I’m always looking for good coffee shops since moving here from N.Y.C.

Would definitely recommend. Relaxing atmosphere. Obviously a gathering place for an eclectic mix of locals and visitors. Nice assortment of coffees and teas. Service was informative about tea and recommended a delicious Oolong. Pastries and light fare fresh and attractive. Quality and value.

We dubbed this place the cave. It was dark warm light inside. They had it all fresh June ces, kambucha on tap, coffee, hot cocoa, fresh bagels!We sat there for two hours reading and trying new stuff it was so relaxing!! The music they played wasnt disruptive to reading. There was plenty of different style seating to be as comfy as possible.

Great place for coffee and light snacks. Had the chocolate mousse pudding and it was phenomenal. Music was a bit too loud.

They know their coffee and are unique. Comfortable. More likely to sit and enjoy here than grab a coffee on the run in a crowd.

Was visiting Burlington and I didnt want chain coffee. The atmosphere was warm and the aroma was therapeutic. My cappuccino was wonderful and a wonderful surprise to my friends was that they had a few draft beer options, we ended up staying for about an hour.

I love this haven. Coffee is always amazing, notes in the wall make us all feel connected, and all the staff are super kind and respectful. Ill keep recommending to everyone!

Great little local coffee shop with an awesome atmosphere. Coffee is excellent as are the other drinks. Good place to meet friends for a coffee and relax or bring a book and enjoy some pace and quiet. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great location just off of Church street if you need to get away from the busy area but dont want to wander too far.

Great, funky VT coffee shop. Decent selection, good prices, average + staff. Good Main St. location. Easy to recommend.

Great service!

Very cool atmosphere. Great people. Great music. Great coffee. But very limited food options and no wifi. Otherwise this place would be 5 stars without a doubt.

Great atmosphere, good coffee! While driving around Burlington looking for a local coffee shop we stumbled upon Muddy Waters. What a treasure! The interior decor is original, rustic, and artsy. I got a coffee and my wife got a latte. Both were delicious. We try to go back whenever we are in Burlington.Its very cozy and unique. Definitely recommend Muddy Waters if youre looking for coffee and a great atmosphere.

Great place to hang out and just breath. As ya suck down some yummy coffee.

This coffee shop has an amazing atmosphere, unique to Burlington. Almost everything inside is made out of wood and nicely lit. Their coffee and smoothies are amazing and well priced and for a small place, their menu is very expansive. The only downside to this coffee shop is that it isnt very big so at peak hours, you may not fund an empty seat and also it is easy to miss if you didnt know it was there.

I love the smell of coffee as soon as you walk in. Its such a cozy place to meet someone for coffee or to just have time alone. Everyone that works there is so friendly. I look forward to it every morning.

Great coffee. Great prices. Love the lemon ginger tea!

Fresh pastries, coffee, tea and all sorts of shakes. Restroom available without having to buy the store. Good service ans lots of tables and plants. Nice and cozy too.

Never been to a hipster(ish) cafe, but this one is good. Wish they really heated the beverage because it wasnt that warm. Regardless, I recommend a spicy Mexican hot chocolate and a drink of the same name.

The best coffee shop in B-town, great atmosphere and food. A good place to work on coding, homework, do interviews, but also enjoy yourself. Welcoming to everyone.

Fantastic atmosphere to hang out and have a coffee. Cozy with lots of art, comfy chairs, and good music. They have a variety of roast options and bakery items, and refills are only a dollar. Of the five cafes Ive visited during my Burlington trip, this was my favorite.

So many varieties of coffee and tea and the 4/5 drinks we had were all great!Love their smoothies and baked goods too!Lovely atmosphere to unwind.

Muddy Waters is super tasty! Fast/Friendly service and a great vibe. I really enjoyed my breakfast experience...

Love this place! Great coffee and great bagels! The way the place is set up and decorated is very cool!

No wifi. And they dont advertise that they dont have it. I needed it for school/work...But they have a great atmosphere and their chai is great!

I love the atmosphere here more than any other coffee shop! The chai is wonderfully spicy and not overly sweet. I also highly appreciate the option to substitute almond milk for only 25¢ since Im allergic to both cow dairy and soy.

I was only here for a short bit, but if was comfortable and my cappuccino was good.

Quiet place. Couple different options if you don’t want a coffee based drink. Pastries, cookies, bagels, cake. Depending on your mood you can find a good way to re-energize here.

Great cappuccino and atmosphere

Perfect place to have a beverage relax and enjoy a book!

Amazing atmosphere, very comfortable, delicious selections for beverages and food. Theyre open late as well!

When we were in Burlington for the Joe Bonamassa concert the valet suggested Muddy Waters Cafe. We were not disappointed at all. Friendly people and the decor is amazing....so much to look at and enjoy. Best latte in town!

Delicious, cute, good! Fun little writings on slips of paper stuck in the wall

I like the atmosphere and all the employees are laid back. The drinks and food are always good and drinks are consistently made.

Great atmosphere. The Americano is top notch.

Slow, but, good coffee.

Best atmosphere of any coffee shop I have ever been in. The staff is friendly and the coffee is great. Perfect chill spot to get some work done or meet a friend for coffee.

The coffees very good. The vibe is rustic chill chic. The shirts are downright awesome.

I loved the vibe there. Had a house Kombucha and veggie chilli and both were delicious. Ohhh the coconut chocolate bite was the BEST, would have it everyday 😆

Awesome atmosphere and excellent coffee. also has wonderful tea and cafe food. a definite go-to for the coffee lovers and the cafe groupies.

Pretty good, although they dont have wifi. Both times I went with my sister though, they messed up and gave her regular milk instead of soy milk. Overall, it was still pretty good.

Hard to find seating, but just about the only place to find white hot chocolate and its amazing. The wife loves the regular hot chocolate. Whipped cream mandatory

Love the coffee, but i just got the worst attitude from an employee. She told me my coffee being incorrect was not her fault, and that my friend didnt know how to order. I was literally blown away. I was so polite, and called just to get my coffee fixed and she was so unprofessional. What happened to the customers always right? If Im gonna pay $5 for a small coffee...id like it to at least be correct.

Great local coffee shop with friendly staff and a laid back atmosphere. Can’t remember if they have WiFi or not but it is a great place to study, chat with friends or take a date. If it’s warmer weather get a muddy’s shake, you won’t be disappointed!

Love this coffee shop. Good coffee and nice atmospheres

Decent coffee paired with a eco friendly ethos. The teas are to die for.

Best Chai in the city. Muddy waters also distills the vibe of Burlington into one comfortable/tasty aesthetic.

What a great place to sit and enjoy a taste of fine coffee. This is now my place while in Burlington. The service is also wonderful.

Ive been going here for a good coffee, snack or beer for over 20 years. Great funky atmosphere and a great drink selection.

The vibe of this place was very enjoyable, I felt like I was drinking my coffee inside of a tree house.The coffee was excellent, Im very picky on my dirty Chai lattes, but the girls whipped it up quickly and it was excellent!What won me over, though, was the fact that Im from NY and was just visiting, but finding notes left behind from other patrons in the walls was the finishing touch to an awesome experience. My group of friends ended up leaving behind some motivational words for others to find on their coffee drinking adventures.

Really cool coffee place and they serve local beer as well

Great atmosphere and great coffee. If you are looking for a place to sip on a hot beverage and study for the day, look no further.I would recommend their muddy shake.

Best place in town to just sit and Be. Down to earth, bohemian, wood furnished interior makes things cosy - one can almost imagine a fireplace being there even though there isnt. Great selection of coffee and teas and a superb flourless chocolate cake.

I always get the cider here because its so amazing. Nobody else even had it. Thank you!

Overall a nice hip coffee shop. Muddy Waters makes particularly nice mochas, and also nice expresso shakes. Their lattes and coffee dont seem to me to be quite as good as some of the other places around, but their atmosphere is nice and some of their stuff is quite good.

Love this place its great coffee wonderful chill place

Decent coffee, but an absolutely fantastic atmosphere and location. Great place to meet up with friends and hang out on an afternoon, or to read a book and do some work.

Super funky and fun! Highly recommended!

Interesting and quaint cafe. The inside design alone is worth the visit!
