Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 3. Let’s get right into what’s happening around our vibrant city as we step into another September day.If you’re starting your morning with coffee, there’s fresh buzz down in the South End—Nomad Coffee has a new owner. Eric Kelley, who many will recognize from the Williston Coffee Shop, has taken the helm at Nomad on Flynn Avenue. He’s bringing scratch-baked scones, biscuits, and those unforgettable croissants to the café, all baked by his team in Williston. Kelley says he’s excited to make the space even more welcoming and will be focusing on locally baked pastries and coffee as his first order of business, with plans to roll out soups and other menu items when the chillier weather sets in. If you love your pastries with a story, Nomad’s team is drawing inspiration from the late Chris Johnson—a baker beloved by the Burlington community for his creative flair and champion croissants.Looking ahead, this Friday marks the kickoff of the South End Art Hop, a highlight on the city’s cultural calendar.
