Coffee will be free on Monday, Dec. 23, at Uncommon Grounds Coffee and Tea, when the well-loved Church Street Marketplace coffee shop serves customers for a final day after 25 years in business.
Owner Brenda Nadeau is retiring and closing the café and roastery that was founded by her parents, Skip and Beverly Blakely, in May 1994. Drip coffee will be free on Monday as a thank-you to her regulars, she said.
“We’re doing heavy discounts on everything, and giving away drip coffee,” Nadeau said. “We’re just trying to give back to our people.”

The Skinny Pancake will open its 11th branch in the spring of 2020, when the crêperie that was founded as a food cart opens a restaurant in Stowe, co-owner Benjy Adler told Seven Days.
The newest Skinny will be at 454 Mountain Road, site of the former McCarthy’s Restaurant, which closed in the fall after 45 years in business.
"It's pretty cool," Adler said. "They're passing the torch."

Drink Up / Spirits Drink Up: Eggnog at Monarch & the Milkweed

Stevie Wonder was singing "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" when I arrived at Monarch & the Milkweed on a recent evening. If I'd been worrying, Stevie's Latin-funk groove and inspired intro ("Paris, Beirut, Iraq, Iran ... I speak very very, um, fluent Spanish"), would've chilled me out and lifted me up.
I wasn't worried about the parking meter: It's free holiday parking season in Burlington, even if some shoppers are at their computers. And after an eggnog hunt conducted mostly by phone, I was no longer worried about finding the seasonal cocktail that delivers spirits as a liquid dessert.
