They have patio, indoor, and upstairs seating with a mix of table types and styles. Their little bar seating on the main floor was so cute! We opted for upstairs - nice and quiet, and cozy. I ordered a matcha, and we both got breakfast sandwiches. I appreciate that they have gluten free bread! We ordered at the front, and delivery to our table took a while: 20+ minutes I'd guess? It felt a bit long for a casual cafe. My sandwich and side of potatoes were good - potatoes were a little cold, but still tasted good. The matcha was delicious! We got a fruity pebbles latte as well, and it was so bizarre - kinda good, but kinda weird?! Super interesting to try - I feel like it would work better as a matcha latte!

I wish I had stopped by later in the day for cocktails - but for now, we were here with a desperate need for coffee. There were so many cool options in the menu like the Red Bean Matcha Latte, the Fig Apple Chaider or the Ca Phe Sua Da. But of course, I had to order the Pandan Iced Latte. I absolutely loved the nuttiness of the Pandan in a latte - I'm just surprised more coffee shops don't offer it. And the perfect offset to it was the Ca Phe Sua Da, or Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It wasn't as mind blowing, but still tasty. Next time I'm in Madison, I'm definitely stopping through for some cocktails!

Glazed Pumpkin Spice Donut: Duck Donuts was founded in 2007 in Duck, North Carolina (although…read morethey're headquartered in Pennsylvania). They've since expanded to numerous locations across the U.S. and even overseas. Their mascot is Ollie the Duck, who can be found on the sign and packaging. I learned a few things on my first visit. All the donuts are cake style donuts (as opposed to raised/yeast, which I tend to prefer) and they're made to order. The made to order is a pro and a con as you don't have to stress that they will sell out, but you might have to wait a bit for your order. You can also order ahead, but at this time there is no app and I had issues (which were resolved) with placing an order on their website. Being October and a lover of pumpkin desserts, I had to try the Glazed Pumpkin Spice Donut. It comes glazed with cinnamon sugar and pumpkin spice buttercream. The body of the donut was heavy, dense, and pleasantly chewing with just the right amount of moistness and not too dry and cakey. Flavor was sweet, buttery, and of course pumpkin with hints of cinnamon. I loved the gritty sugar granules, but they were sadly confined to just the pumpkin buttercream island in the center. I'm always a little anxious that a pumpkin spice dessert will be too spicy or a burning spice, but this was sweet, not overpowering, and delicious.

I felt like my taste buds were having an o*gasm, pardon my choice of words. the workers are very kind and chill, and while it sometimes takes a while for food to come, it is almost always due to there being so many customers and not because of any lack of effort. the only suggestion I have is that, if or when the owner retires, it gets converted into a worker cooperative so that the business is much more resilient and is owned by the employee. overall, 5/5, amazing business to go too if you don't mind waiting a bit for food.

Seems like a fun and creative menu with seasonal drink options. Refresher was nice, just like you'd expect, but a little on the sweet side for me. I got a second cup of seltzer to "cut" the drink and it was perfect. Front room is cozy with moderate noise and activity from the coffee bar and front entrance. There's a second back room that was cooler, quiet, and with lots of open tables for studying. I came on a weekday afternoon, but there was plenty of open seating even with ~10 customers sitting in. I wish there were more outlets, though!

Our first taste seemed bland. We were told that traditionally dishes would arrive to the table already seasoned, but some customers found them too hot, so they now let each diner add their own sauce. The lunch menu is comprised primarily of a choice of meat and either rice or pasta, the latter being a leftover from Italian colonization of Somalia. I had the goat and pasta, both of which benefited by the (judicious) addition of the hot green sauce by itself or diluted a bit with the mild white sauce. The goat was a bit tough but had a nice flavor. It came with a lime wedge and some chopped lettuce, onion, and green pepper. My husband had the beef chapati and was "underwhelmed." The chapati was quite soggy and the dish was heavy on potatoes for his taste. We both enjoyed the sweet and spicy Somali tea, a chai type that is enjoyably heavy on cloves.
