Monarch and the Milkweed

We extremely enjoyed our breakfast. I had the waffles with VT maple syrup and strawberry jam. My wife had the whole grain, super fluffy and amazing tasting pancakes. My daughter had the fried chicken sandwich which was sooooo tender and delicious with great fries. My soy milk latte was very good too. The restaurant was very clean and staff were very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is European bistro-like and the music was soothing and energizing at the same time. This is a fabulous place anytime of the day!

The atmosphere and staff are absolutely lovely. The staff clearly love what they do and are passionate about food & drink. Very knowledgeable. The menu is filled with warm, homey meals & bites that have a mature twist. Their drink menu is extensive and thoughtfully designed. A true treat for cocktail enthusiasts.

Unique and delicious pastries! Their lemon and cinnamon tart is better than anything I have ever tasted!
Really tasty food and pretty good drinks! Plus it feels both cozy and modern at the same time!

Monarch and the Milkweed has both a wildly creative and innovative cocktail menu with seasonally inspired flavors, and an extensive wine and beer menu for a cocktail bar. Additionally, it is a much more laid back and upscale vibe than many of the college bars in town. Definitely a must go spot if you’re in Burlington! So glad i went.

Great brunch spot. Very tasty. The chicken and waffles were amazing and huuuuuge! The brisket hash on the other hand... Tiny. Serving fit in a small soup bowl. From what it lacked in size it made up for in flavor. The mixture of root vegetables with brisket fat and blue cheese mixed up at the bottom was well worth the wait! We split the waffles and the hash and it was perfect for two, but if you are ordering for just yourself the hash will leave something to be desired. I will be back. Keep up the great work!

Fresh food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. The yogurt parfait and iced latte were phenomenal. You can tell everything here is thoughtful and well done.

Love, love, love this place. From interior, to food, to service, its amazing. Get their pancakes which are to die for, and chicken and waffles. Food never disappoints and I wish I would live in Vermont just to go to this place every day.

Fun and trendy coffee shop/restaurant with a wide range of CBD infused treats. The space inside is gorgeous, the staff is very friendly and eager to help you and the food is great.

I had followed Monarch and the Milkweed for about a year on Instagram before I got to visit them two months ago during my honeymoon. Their desserts are phenomenal and made me wish we had come there for brunch as well. But we WILL be coming back the next time we make our way up to Vermont.

Simply the best cocktails in Burlington. Decadent desserts, fine beer selection, amazing staff and a comfy cozy atmosphere. Can't ask for much more.

Excellent menu options, ambiance and staff. Dined for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the fruit, granola and yogurt bowl. Third time back and not the last!!

Best grilled cheese and tomato soup ever! Love the CBD chocolate & pastry options!

Great cocktails and loved the margarita flatbread.

A much needed grown-up addition to the Burlington scene. Thoughtful drink menu, especially the cocktails. Great bartenders and atmosphere. Go for the tomato soup! Highly recommend.

We had a party of 10, taking up the whole bar. Joe was our bartender, and I will contend he is one of the top 5 in the state in terms of skill, energy and creativity. Really adventurous cocktail menu, lots of combinations of flavors, textures, preparation styles that were employed. When prompted, Joe was able to put together a couple of custom beverages based solely on his question of "what's your mood" or a couple of ingredient parameters. Quick, artful, exact, and with a generous host's energy, it was all a delightful experience with Joe as our tour guide. Thank you! Truly enjoyable and fun. Highly recommend.

They are amazing. They made a beautiful wedding cake for my husband and myself for our wedding day. It was simple, sweet, and exactly what we wanted. We even were able to custom order the flavors and design. They were so friendly and Amanda and Andrew made the process stress free and fun. We LOVE them!

Friendly service. Treats are cute, clever and exactly as pictured. Switched to shipping last minute since I overestimated being able to pick them up with the chaos of the holidays. They were gifts for family and they not only accommodated me but I also couldn't get website to work to pay the shipping charge and they shipped it anyways. Great experience overall. Husband and brother in law loved the treats. Miss their brunch but welcome to pandemic life.

They put extra special care into presentation here. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is amazing, the fruit salad is the best I've ever had, the coffee is excellent, and the baked goods are gorgeous but affordable. Also, the art is really nice.

I met up with a friend for brunch mid week and this spot was perfect. The interior has been beautifully designed. The food was delicious and quick. The service was kind and efficient. I felt comfortable and relaxed in the space. It definitely felt high end for Burlington cafe vibes, but a welcome addition to downtown.

Absolutely delightful cocktails and they have brunch ALL DAY! (We sat down at 9:30pm and thought pancakes would be wonderful. We were right.) Tasty food, great atmosphere; very happy. We will definitely return! Can’t wait to try more things on the menu.
