- Blue Moose Store & Café, 29 High Street (The cafe is located at the back of the store.), ☎ (802) 254-6245. Mon.-Fri. 8-5, Sat. 10-5, SUNDAYS 9 to 4. The cafe has the standard assortment of coffee, espresso, and tea, plus a decent selection of gourmet sodas and juices. All are reasonably priced. The baked goods are quite good. The food is quite good and moderately priced. The area is well lit and a good place to read, surf online, or study. The only down side is that they play cheese-ball music. Some of it's not bad and it doesn't get in the way of conversations or interrupt studying, so it's fine. Cell phone conversations are not encouraged inside the store or cafe, which is nice. The cafe has free wifi with purchase. $. edit
