William HallJanuary 2, 2014this is my favorite cafe in all of Btown, the atmosphere is incredible, really unique seating arrangements, coffee is great, they serve beer (good too!), and their baked goods are really tastyUpvote2Downvote- Nestle into the cabin-like booths with a book or pick a spot by the window to people watch main street. Hazelnut muddy shake is to die for. Who doesn't love espresso and ice cream!?Upvote2Downvote
Sofia UzSeptember 22, 2015Very cool coffee shop with great espresso drinks and freshest pastries. Scones. Try them. Be prepared to wait for a table during peak hours. Aka always :)UpvoteDownvote
Michael RooneyJanuary 30, 2017Muddy Waters has absolutely the best coffee in town. Try brew it so you can taste it. Their cookies and pastries are a gear match for their coffee.UpvoteDownvote
Jesse BroseJanuary 12, 2019Cool atmosphere with a very friendly staff. You can get CBD shots in your coffee and no laptops on weekends!

Luckyeastern36July 14, 2016I go out of my way to get the bagel with olive cream cheese here--so good! Also one of the best coffee spotsUpvoteDownvote
Enjoy the cabin-esque comfort with a coffee and a newspaper by the front window looking out onto Main Street. One of my favorite places to be on a cloudy fall day!UpvoteDownvote- Nate BeattyApril 25, 2015No wireless, but take it as a gift rather than a hindrance. Go to Muddy Waters, get a hot beverage (or a cold beer) and enjoy the company of a good book for a bit.UpvoteDownvote
Jared CampbellDecember 12, 2016Rated best milkshake in Vermont on Foursquare. For good reason. Go get one. Now.

Stéphanie NamApril 12, 2017Great drinks. Few vegan food options. But nice atmosphere, open late although seating is tough sunday afternoons.UpvoteDownvote- Check the cracks in the wall for random notes left on scraps of paper. Always a good source of entertainment
Upvote2Downvote - Julia MorenoFebruary 16, 2013Mate latte is amazing AND The coffee milkshake is to die for. No wireless is a definite drawback thoughUpvote2Downvote
The Espresso here is unmatched. Their Mocha is the best in town, and the iced double Americano is simple perfection.UpvoteDownvote- darryl ohrtFebruary 3, 2016Coffee, Burlington style. No wifi to keep the worker dorks away. Leave your laptop at home and bring a book instead.UpvoteDownvote
Devin BasileFebruary 15, 2016Coffee conversation and cookies. Got there right when a fresh batch was being served. Perfecto.UpvoteDownvote
Wonderful cozy environment and good java. Lack of wireless may improve your productivity, but presence of attractive college girls may diminish it. May want to bring headphones.Upvote5Downvote
