Was David Cloutier at Balanced a mag?
I would give this place 5 stars if only the cappuccino had been hot. Unfortunately, it was lukewarm at best—perhaps the machine needs some maintenance? Personally, I can't enjoy lukewarm espresso drinks with milk. I ended up putting it in the fridge and had it cold the next day. On a positive note, the coffee was fantastic! I tried their spicy avocado toast, which was excellent. The service was incredibly friendly, a... View all feedback.
What Aston Middleburry dislikes about Balanced:
I ordered a sandwich, but the bagel was moldy. I decided to give the place another try, but when I got a smoothie, it tasted like a completely different item from the menu. They really need to clean their equipment. View all feedback.

My husband and I stopped for lunch and had the most amazing grain bowls! The chicken was delicious and the veggies were fresh!! One was Hawaiian, the other a Buffalo chicken, all on a huge bed of rice with great seasonings!!! Very filling!We will go back!! Great atmosphere also with very friendly service!!!
Hours very unpredictable— often not open when they post they will be. Pretty much always only one employee, who only comes out if you ring a bell. But better smoothies than Pressed so sometimes we just deal with it.Added after owner replied claiming this was false: There was no mention of different hours on the website (just normal 9-3). There was zero sign on the door or on the sign outside saying hours were different (we had to just pull the door to find out it was locked). Google also just showed 9-3. But yes, let’s just blame customers for telling the truth instead of actually taking the feedback (which OTHER reviewers have also shared) and correcting it. This is no way to run a business. I’m changing my view— we won’t be back here.
The food is quite good, everything is fresh and feels healthy. I also love online ordering!
Had an amazing bowl and coffee today. So glad to have this healthy option so close and available on doordash.
My husband and I love the smoothies and their nitro cold brew, it’s the best around. The issue stems from their hours. First, opening at 9 is late for a coffee breakfast place but that’s IF they open the doors at 9. My husband and I come here almost daily and sit and wait for them to actually open their doors at 9… which is seldom. Today we went there and it was 9:30 on a Tuesday .. the hours state they’re open yet their doors are not. They have such great coffee and food and we love the place, we just wish they’d open as stated.
