Apparently my ideal Burlington weekend is just: books, matcha, donuts, beer, oysters, burgers, ice cream, and repeatedly saying, “Wait, should we get one more thing?” 😂
We started at Wild Meadow Books & Cafe Wild Meadows Books & Cafe where I had to physically restrain myself from buying approximately 10 blind date romance books. I settled for a lavender matcha latte instead, which was honestly one of the best matchas I’ve had. I also loved all the space they’ve created for people to gather, and now I’m already plotting a return visit for cocktails.
Next: Old Town Cafe + Comics Old Town Cafe & Comics because I needed the next Dungeon Crawler Carl book. I’m on book three and fully committed at this point. I also spent an unreasonable amount of time choosing a donut because I know for a fact they’re all freaking delicious. Plus, give me a place where I can browse board games I absolutely do not need while people are trading Pokémon cards and meeting up to play games, and I’m happy.
Then we headed to Zero Gravity Zero Gravity Beer Hall because Burlington decided to give us PERFECT patio weather. Italian pilsner, smash burger, fries dipped in garlic aioli. And yes, I am firmly on Team Mayo With Fries.
One beer later, we wandered down to the waterfront and stopped at Foam for $2 oysters and an IPA. The oysters were super fresh and briny, the beer was perfect, and Foam continues to simply not miss. Foam Brewers
By that point I was so full that the only logical dinner was ice cream.
My husband got the Biscoff cookie butter twist, and I split a Fluffernutter with my toddler, which feels like a very appropriate way to end a food-obsessed millennial mom’s day out. Judi’s Ice Cream
I do not get nearly as many Burlington food days as I would like these days with two little kids, so when I get one… I GO HARD. 😂
Now tell me: where should I eat/drink/shop/browse next month? I need to start my list.
