"Guys this is NOT A COFFEE SHOP. There will be NO PASTRIES. There are NO LATTES to be had here. No idea where that other reviewer went but it sure as beans wasn’t here. This is a ROASTERY operated out of a sub-divided commercial building in a dirt and gravel lot. You will not find a single, solitary cup of coffee here. But what you *will* find is a lovely gentleman doing his very best, operating a one-man show of sheer bean enlightenment, with two very good puppers overseeing operations. Buy the beans online. (My god, you simply MUST try these beans.) Brew yourself a good cup AT HOME, where no one can judge your sad latte art. Savor on repeat. And should you need a latte and a great croissant for a long drive, head to Birchgrove Baking on Elm St. in Montpelier. It came recommended by the Bean Poobah himself and did not disappoint. 10/10 beans. 0/10 lattes on the premises. Consider yourself informed."

"The hardtail coffee is INCREDIBLE. I was able to pick it up at one of the coop stores! French press brews an excellent jammy, curranty cup with a smooth light finish."

"I’m actually blown away that there isn’t a review for this establishment on Yelp. Blown away because of how busy it was when I made a pit-stop for much needed caffeine and calories. It was *packed* and there was a “regulated” frenzy lining up to get thy brew and chew. Counting seconds, minutes, and “hours” (just kidding, it moved fast), chatting up everyone and anyone when you’ve got absolutely nothing to do until it was your turn to find saving grace from one of the grinders spewing life changing atoms of goodness. Everyone was respectful no matter how groggy they looked. And it all made sense when I got to the pivot in the line. There was a sign that sublimely declared all Karens to keep their best behavior or simply be thrown out. I couldn’t for the life of me contain my laughter. I was joined by the few I had already bantered with the last 15 minutes. They, as locals, told me that the establishment protected their employees and would gladly enforce that particular placard any day. GOOD. We don’t want them around here anyways. It’s already a miracle that someone, or anyone, is willing to wake up more than a few hours earlier to serve anyone barely waking up to their sense. It’s a privilege to be here and I can’t help but be thankful and appreciate the hardworking folks in the service industry. Thank you. Salute."

"Love this coffee, especially making it with my Chemex, which brings out all the flavor. The Hard Tail aged in Barr Hill Gin Barrels really tastes like it! Unbelievable!"

"I bought other local VT coffee for the past decade until I found Big Gear Coffee. I love the two different dark roasts they offer and their bold, unique flavor without feeling too strong. I’m a French press coffee drinker and this coffee brews perfectly. Cheers to every morning starting out with BGC!"
