Leunig's Petit Bijou

Corner of Church St. and College St., Burlington, leunigsbistro.com

Caffeinate like a Parisian at this cozy Church Street Marketplace kiosk, run by nearby Leunig's Bistro & Café. In addition to fresh-brewed coffees and espresso con panna, there are homemade apple tarts, French macarons and pâte de fruit. For to-go lunch, the duck-confit poutine is locally famous, and the baguette sandwiches layered with cured ham and local cultured butter — or foie gras pâté with cherry compote — are très délicieux.

Counter Culture Coffee, teas from Vermont's Stone Leaf Teahouse, kombucha on draft and handcrafted pastries draw bean brainiacs and the coffee-curious. Bonus: You can bring your dog!
