Muddy Waters

I've only been here twice, but I love this place. Good prices and good food (fresh bagels and a great current cream scone), decently priced, good coffee drinks and great fresh fruit or veggie juices. The atmosphere is definitely my favorite bit. It's a great place for coffee (or in my case, usually a decaf dirty chai) and chat with a friend. I know it's a popular spot, and it can get busy, but we found it pretty quiet on a Tuesday morning around 930 (but busier by 10-1030).

This is like stepping into another reality. Had the alternate dimension larger than life puppets not been peering at me through the window, I would not have ventured in... but thank God I did! Super cozy coffe/tea/juice bar with fresh baked goods and other fare. Definitely a new favorite 💗

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.

Delightfully quirky coffee shop with tasty food and yummy drinks. Inside feels like a woody cabin with some of Jim Henson‘s more creative Muppets hanging about. The chili was very good, especially with a slice of toast that added a certain sweetness to it. I had a hot cider with a cinnamon stick and it really hit the spot. This is a great little coffee shop, will definitely be back.

Every now and then, I like to check out a new coffee shop, especially if it has a unique design. The ambiance at this café was excellent, I would give 10/10. The food is decent. I tried a hummus, pita and coffee. which were tasty. I would definitely stop by this location whenever I'd be in Vermont to experience again this cafe's vibes. In attached picture you can see: 1) Vanilla Latte 2) Cappuccino

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

Goodbye Starbucks and other overhyped coffee chains …. Let me introduce you to muddy waters for all you coffee connoisseurs. The coffee is just hands down the best I have had. Add to it the fun and interesting environment, it’s quirky / eccentric, I didn’t get what is going on but hey I enjoyed the experience. The staff was Uber friendly. Too bad I can’t travel 3.5 hrs everytime yo have coffee but I will when I visit Burlington VT. By the by this is in the church street marketplace. Enjoy your cafe.

What an awesome coffee shop, I really enjoyed stopping at muddy waters, read on to find out why: 1. Extremely friendly staff. The individual that helped me get my food and coffee was a joy to chat with. It’s always nice to go into a place and and have a conversation that is more than surface level. Seems like people care here. 2. The coffee was fantastic and fast!! The perfect combination for what I needed that day. Gave me a little time back so I could walk around before I needed to meet with coworkers. 3. The location is perfect. Great spot right downtown. Easy walk to the water. 4. Food is great too! I would definitely recommend getting something to eat here as well. Highly recommended, I added a few photos of the space if you want to get an idea of what it looks like.

best interior out of any cafe in burlington. the consistent regulars that come to muddies goes to show that it has become more than just a cafe, but a truly adequate third space. the prices are great especially when just getting coffee, the pastries are good, maybe not the greatest selection, but i always enjoy them. i like how dry their scones are funnily enough. muddies is easily described as somewhere truly eclectic, and i adore it.

What an awesome place! I have walked by like 10 dozen times but never actually stopped in until recently, and I am so glad I did! I ordered a dirty chai latte with just 1 espresso in it as well as a black medium roast coffee. The latte was extravagant and I could immediately tell the ingredients and care that were put into making it were better than many places around here. The coffee was also fantastic and pretty much just as I like it: very slightly on the sweeter side. The staff were super kind and speedy and the atomosphere was very cozy-tavern-core and had numerous healthy plants and natural wood surfaces.
