Muddy Waters

Decent coffee and vibes, but a shocking lack of wifi for a coffee shop, I sat down and ordered a drink by the time I found out there was no wifi. What type of coffee shop doesn't have wifi!?

Nice and cozy. Loved it's ambiance

Very cool vibes inside. Especially loved the woods beams throughout! The coffee was HOT and the scones were delicious! My husband got a "pot of tea" in a cast iron tea pot.... They literally have a wall of loose tea leaves to fit everyone's fancy; so many flavors to choose from. The spicy chai was delicious as well.

True coffeehouse atmosphere. Great place to chat over coffee and a snack. Try the granola--chock full of nuts and dried fruit. Appreciate that they stay open later than most coffee places in town.

I’ve been to many, many coffee shops… but Muddy Waters is SO unique! This coffee feels like you walked into a cabin in the woods with some of Jim Henson‘s Muppets/creations/art chilling with you for some coffee. It was seriously SO unique - and different! It took me awhile to “see” and “take it all in” before venturing up to the barista counter to order my delicious oat milk latte. In a land of a million “cookie cutter coffee shops” - Muddy Waters stands out as a diamond in the rough for SURE! Even if you don’t care for coffee- come in to see this really unique spot. Get a cup of coffee and “chill” with these Muppets

As both a local and UVM student, Muddy Waters is my go-to breakfest, coffee and study spot. Open into the evening, with beautiful sunny windows during the day, it is the perfect spot to enjoy any of their delicious drink options and delectable pastries. They also source their bagels locally, which are in my opinion the best in Burlington, and my family is from New York City. Even on busy school days, I always stop for a mocha and bagel on my way up to campus for the most reasonably priced and highest quality drinks and eats. If you are looking for a coffee shop in the Burlington area, go to Muddy Waters.

Such a fun cafe in Burlington. Coffee was hot and freshly made. Breakfast was great. Good choice of bagels. Fun art critters around the Cafe too.

We popped in here super early on a Wednesday morning and it was so cozy and quiet. The coffee was great as were the bagels (I had the smoked salmon with capers and dill cream cheese). We were able to sit and read comfortably for at least an hour before it started to get busier. We did find it a bit less enjoyable when the cafe started to fill up with some smaller kids who were obviously a bit more noisy. But this is more of a personal preference and didn’t ruin our experience. If you’re looking for a calm spot to enjoy your morning coffee, head there early and take advantage.
