Tight Squeeze Coffee Shop

Tight Squeeze Coffee Shop is a compact, locally loved café located at 125 College Street in Burlington, Vermont, founded on Christmas Eve 2014 by partners Lisa Osornio and Matt Gress. The shop specializes in organic espresso drinks, creative lattes — including signature offerings like maple lattes and dirty chai — crafted from locally roasted beans and organic ingredients, with sweet and savory treats sourced from Barrio Bakery. True to its name, the café is one of Burlington’s tiniest coffee spots, offering a cozy grab-and-go experience steps from Church Street and the waterfront.
