If you like coffee, then you will be happy to know that lots of Vermont cities and even towns have their own coffee houses with great locally roasted beans.  In my home town of Montpelier, the place to go to is Capitol Grounds. This great little coffee house on State street is always lively with lots of regular customers.  The staff is friendly and the coffee is great.  To go along with your coffee they serve a nice assortment of sandwiches and pastries.  If you’re heading up to Burlington you have even more options on Church Street, the city’s open air marketplace. The Burlington Free Press just had a great article describing all of the local java joints.  But the secret I am going to share is about our biggest coffee seller in Vermont (and the whole North East),  Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in Waterbury.  I drive past Waterbury every day, and it you go by at the right time you can smell the coffee roasting.  If you drive down Coffee Lane off of Main Street in Waterbury you will find a little company retail outlet.  They often have sales on coffee.   Worth stopping by to stock up  if you are anywhere near on a weekday or Saturday morning!
