    Gorgeous micro coffee shop, we loved the staff and vibes. They roast their beans in a warehouse nearby, loved the quality! Went with two iced lattes - PSL and Sea Salt Maple - both were well balanced - not too sweet and the best cup of fall.

    Incredible lattes. We ordered a regular hot latte, no flavoring, and a hot matcha latte. Both were excellent quality and delicious. Highly recommend.

    Got caffeinated at Cafe Domestique on a Saturday morning. Had heard good things about the coffee they were making. The shop has a homey feel to it with a bike shop in the back that's connected (really cool!). There's not much seating indoors so definitely come earlier if you're looking for a spot to sit indoors. I got a classic iced oatmilk latte that was very solid. There's expresso was strong (which I like) and the oatmilk was a great ratio. Overall, would recommend their coffee!

    Got an iced maple sea salt oat milk latte and it was just fabulous! The sweetest service and drink came out almost immediately. It is a bit small with just 3 tables which were all full when I arrived, so if you are trying to come have a spot to work beware you may not get one!

    Their coffee smells sooooo good!!!!! The barista is great at making wonderful coffee. He made the perfect the creamy milk and beautiful latte art. Their coffee beans are freshly roasted in local roasters. Must go to in Madison!!!!!

    Very cute, small coffee shop. There are a handful of tables and bar seating. It's cool because it's connected to a local bike shop. Overall an awesome vibe. I just grabbed a chai latte to go. It wasn't the best chai latte but it was pretty good. The temperature was perfect. The staff was super friendly and efficient. I want to go back and have a latte there. It seems like a great spot to meet a friend or get some work done. Especially cozy on a rainy or snowy day!

    Small digs. Impeccable vibe. Great latte. I was always intrigued by this place. It was the bike themed cafe adjacent to a bike shop. What a duo! Café Domestique makes it work for them tho. Extremely friendly staff. It's small, not a ton a seating. Wasn't crazy busy this Saturday afternoon. I got a smoked salty maple latte. So delicious. Smoked salt and rich maple syrup. They have specialty seasonal drinks. Will have to come back for the next menu! Latte was like $6.50, totally why I'd expect. Small and calm vibe! Perfect place for your afternoon read and a yummy latte.

    Such a cozy vibe

    Delicious lattes! Great milk texture and well balanced flavors ! They offer a few pastries and cute sitting area (: Don't worry if you're not sure what to get, their baristas are so sweet and helpful ! You can't go wrong with any of their options (:

    I can certainly see the appeal to this place. The menu is fun and the bike theme is really pretty cool. My biggest critique is that this place is REALLY small. Even if every chair at every table was filled, I'm guessing you could only fit about 12 people. I honestly felt guilty for taking up one of their few spots. To make matters worse, when accessing the wifi, guest are instructed to not use it longer than a half hour. So essentially, this place is designed to grab your coffee and leave--ideally within 30 minutes. This design might be more tolerable if I didn't pay almost $6 for a small latte. On top of all that, the staff were pretty average. They did their jobs, but I didn't feel like they were especially welcoming or helpful.

    Madison has some cafes that focus on style, and some others that focus on coffee aka substance aka subsistence. Domestique is consistently in the ladder camp. The coffee is always great, and they have a wonderful set of rotating roasters. There are fun baked goods. The seating area is a little small and awkward (just given the space) but it is usually not that crowded. The coffee is worth it though. And they have wifi now!

    Went to the North Street location for a Saturday pick me up. Staff was super friendly and happy to explain drink options and make recommendations. Ended up getting a cortado and was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with two Teddy Grahams. It was a tasty drink and the relaxed atmosphere was welcome for reading on a sunny Saturday morning.

    A coffee gem! They use Ruby & Intelligentsia beans. Syrups in the seasonal drinks are all house made. We were welcomed by a very friendly barista. He gave us a sample of the Ube syrup after we asked what it is. We liked it and ordered a Ube latte as well as a lavender latte. The drinks were rich & flavorful with a nice kick of espresso taste. The Ube latte tasted a bit like taro milk (if you have taro milk tea or ice-cream before) with coffee. The lavender latte has a strong lavender flavor and tasted very natural and balanced. The milk temperature was right and the foam was blended well with the espresso. We were pleasantly impressed! Street parking is easy nearby.

    I love Café Domestique. The espresso is incredible, and the drinks are made perfectly every time. Finally, good coffee on Willy Street!

    Soooo good! Probably one of the top coffee shops we visited on a mini cross country road trip…read more Friendly service and moved fairly quickly , even with the line out the door at 7:30. Iced maple latte and chocolate sea salt cookie were divine. The sourdough and greens was not my favorite. I wish it was cut in half and i thought the greens would be on the sandwich.

    Came by on a Saturday so it was fairly crowded, but the line moved fast. The interior of the shop…read morewas surprisingly big but pleasant and well lit. They also had a good variety of merch items (apparel, coffee mugs, etc) to browse while waiting in line. They had a blueberry mint flat white on the menu, but since I wanted an iced coffee, the barista was able to ring up an iced latte with blueberry mint syrup for me instead. Super kind of her to recommend! Unfortunately the latte tasted pretty acidic, and I couldn't really taste blueberry or mint at all. My friend got the blueberry mint flat white (which is hot) and had the same complaints, so it might have just been the syrup. So wouldn't recommend the blueberry mint drinks but would be open to trying something else, since the service and ambiance of the shop was nice.
