Honestly, I was so blown away by my experience, in a very positive way. First, a very kind person behind the bar, next, a scrumptious, perfectly pulled cappuccino, then, a delicious bag of Costa Rica coffee beans, and just before walking away, I snagged the last breakfast burrito, all at the airport, no less, just before walking away to catch my flight. It isn’t often I am so blown away by seeing literally everything I wanted in that moment, served with a smile. It was two minutes later I realized I had somehow *gasp!* forgotten to tip them after such an awesome all around experience. I ran back waving some cash in my hand, looking in vain for the tip jar…in fact, there was inexplicably none, and that is when they told me they don’t accept tips, that they get paid to do what they loved and I swooned. I still threw the money at them, partly because I just couldn’t quite fully comprehend the audacity of such a thing (this coming from someone deeply entrenched in the hospitality industry). All in all, I was BLOWN AWAY! Thank you, Kestrel for showing such remarkable New England hospitality to this west coast guy.

I visited their new café space for a networking event this past week. It is a fantastic location with plenty of space and comfy furniture. The coffee is perfectly brewed and rich in flavor. They also have great snacks and sandwiches if you need something on-the-go. Of course, being a Vermont company they use a lot of compostable containers too! As an added bonus, look for Charlotte and Johnny (the owners) floating around, and they might be able to give you a tour!

I work around the corner and Krestel is a real gem. Friendly folks making a hell of a latte. I just wish they had a location near my house. 😅

Repeat very happy New Hampshire customers visiting Kestral's 530 Community Dr., South Burlington. We were greeted by Colin once again this trip and he made us delicious iced dark mocha latte and cortado. Loved the fresh & flavorful blueberry packed muffin! Colin was so helpful displaying new color zip hoodies to add to our Kestral wardrobe (high quality and stylin'!!!). We will be returning to this great coffee location! Greetings to Colin!!

This Barista is any and everything you ever have wanted in a coffee shop. I had a terrible evening last night at a hotel that should have been 5 stars but turned out to be a nightmare, so when I came in I felt exhausted, frustrated, and under caffeinated. I advised my situation and asked which sandwich was their best one bc they were out of hot food. Mr. Barista advised a sandwich that was 10/10, and the expresso beverage that he delighted me with will not soon be forgotten. As ghetto as Burlington has become, it is nice to see that there are some places and people that still strive for excellence. 10/10. Cafe is clean, well maintained, scented in a most delectable way, and the service was superlative. Thank you, Mr. Barista- you made the 12 hour plane rides, crappy hotel, and ghetto Burlington worth the trip with your absolute magic.
