specs café

This has become my go-to spot. There’s great lighting by the bay windows in the front and it’s also easy to tuck yourself away in the back. The drinks are always good and the folks behind the bar are really friendly. Be aware that it gets pretty busy around 11am on the weekends and occasionally you may have to wait 5 - 10 min because the drinks are made with love

My favorite place to be! Always an exceptional beverage or learning experience. On the coffee side I’m always delighted by the creativity, truly unique point of view, and almost cocktail like level approach to coffee service. Each specialty drink is unlike anything else out there. The beverage market is full of gems you can’t find elsewhere and Sam and his staff are all there to help you find your next favorite amaro, vermouth, wine or beer. This is also such a peaceful and amazing community space. Read, work, sit with a friend, you will be addicted to this amazing spot.

Super fun little place for cocktails. The drinks are well priced and tasty. Not a lot of space, but nice and quaint. Not super private, so don't plan on having a sneaky link rendez vous or a high stakes business meeting here. But if you want delicious cocktails served by pleasant staff...and sometimes with cool music, this is a place for you.

Wanted something cold and low in caffeine, the berry hibiscus tea was perfect there's more seating now as well, so I will definitely be here more! Not the best prices but I'll accept that considering it's a smaller and newer company with high quality ingredients.

This is my favorite cafe! I love the creative coffee menu and gluten-free lemon poppy pastry. The atmosphere is so relaxed and the music always adds to the vibe. Staff and owner are friendly and fun. I love the building and the location literally just a few steps from the heart of Winooski.

Specs is open all the time and is so cute and honestly an instant classic for this community !! So psyched to watch them grow

The drinks (iced latte, hot coffee and a matcha) and pastries were so delicious and well made. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by a very friendly employee, who made everything perfectly! The space is bright and open. Will definitely be back when visiting the Winooski/Burlington area.

Coffee shop by day, craft cocktails and DJ by Friday night. This place is a vibe in Friday nights, although it’s a bit cozy inside. Friendly staff, prompt service, and bespoke drinks. Shout to Ernest who whipped up a custom cocktail for me based on my flavor profile and tastes. It was excellently and thoughtfully crafted. It’s that level of care that makes me want to come back.
