Visited August First for breakfast on a Monday morning. I had a breakfast special and it was very special! I was pleasantly surprised on the perfect cook and blend of all the flavors on my home fries breakfast bowl. The place itself is baking fresh bread using it in their meals, selling it by the loaf and making your nostrils just as happy as your taste buds.

If you’re in the city of Burlington and you’re looking for the best bread around, look no further than August First. This bustling eatery is known for its incredible baked goods, particularly its bread, which is some of the best you’ll find anywhere.

Absolutely delicious breakfast bakery/cafe. Their griddled maple biscuits are NOT to be missed – they’re served with maple butter and fresh berry jam, and sooooo good. All their breads are baked fresh there and looked perfect. We got here a little before they started serving lunch and their menu for that looked incredible, too!

Cute and cozy cafe in Burlington! It was a rainy day so definitely felt nice to have a warm cup of coffee. The chocolate croissant was yummy. The atmosphere is very laid back. Enjoyed it.

Upon walking into this place, I got a warm and relaxed feeling from the the layout of the cafe. The large garage doors opening up to the outside makes it feel like a true gathering place for the community. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and felt that the portion size did not match the price. The bun also reminded me of the same type of bun I would get on a McDonald’s sandwich. I also got some drip coffee to go. If you’re looking for a fresh brew I would recommend checking out an actual coffee shop. There are plenty around burlington. Overall, this place does deliver on a fresh, local bakery experience.
