Alright so I feel bad roasting a small local business but man my mocha was aggressively bad, made with powdered cocoa and the darkest bitterest sour over extracted espresso pulled out of a machine that looks like it's been through the war and is regularly whipped. Coffee was spraying everywhere! There is another reviewer that mentions some questionable cleanliness and food safety practices. I watched my barista pour milk back into the jug after over pouring for my 12 oz drink. The whole place needs someone to invest some time, love and cash into it to bring it up standard. I'd probably go to a Starbucks before here and I really hate Starbuck s coffee.
I went in after reading the rave reviews. I asked what they use for pour over and the barista didn’t know, then another told me they use their espresso blend. The pour over was very mediocre. I didn’t even finish it, which is rare. My fiancé got the brewed coffee which was alright. It was super warm inside, and pretty cramped.
They are an amazing location, great staff and great drinks. 10/10 smoothie, great customer service
Wonderful coffee, great service & tasty food! Love the neighborhood feel and thankful for location. Good place to write, read or visit with friends.
Employee was super attentive and caring and the hot paninis we got to go were tasty. We just wish the countertops and employee's hands were cleaner, hence the 4/5. We're sympathetic because only one person was working and there was a bit of a rush an hour before closing, but we didn't see the employee wash hands between orders, they weren't wearing gloves, and the prep station hadn't been wiped down well.
Great coffee and Level 5 Vegan Donuts! No phone calls while inside.
We were visiting Madison and decided to check this place out. We liked the atmosphere of the place but the cleanliness was lacking. Watched the cashier handle cash and then directly make our sandwich without gloves or any kind of sanitation. When checking us out I could see some kind of dirt or coffee grounds stuck around their nails too... I also saw them drop one of the tea bags on the floor before in the order ahead of us. Everyone was friendly but during COVID I don’t know if I feel comfortable eating here. Also Watched him throw in napkins to someone else’s order he obviously knew but not others.
Best coffee/best art on wall/best company
This place was absolutely amazing. Cute hole in the wall place. Local neighborhood feel. Could most definitely tell the food and cafe drinks were made with love and care. A rare find, these days.
