Workers are very nice and hardworking! The coffee is some of the BEST you can get in Madison. I have never been disappointed with an order. Same with the food! My favorite is their ham, Gruyère, mustard crepe but I recently tried their ramp pesto, egg, and balsamic reduction crepe and it was also DELICIOUS! Their sweet crepes are amazing, as well. I recommend the lemon curd one as it is not overly sweet.

I got a vanilla latte, the espresso is smooth and tasty, and lets the true coffee taste shine! You won't find crazy drinks with all the frills here but if you want quality coffee/espresso from good beans, this place has it! I wish I had tried a crepe, saw them going to other tables and they looked fire. It gets busy so recommend getting there early if you can!

This place is giving, no nonsense, here's your coffee - get it and go with a premium price. I would say their location is prime - being the only coffee shop inside garver feed mill, so they will always have a steady stream of people, plus orders online, which added to the wait. Was it worth it - to have a coffee while strolling, I suppose. Any time else, not really.

As someone who often used both of those things (and had enough "burnt" Starbucks to assume I hated all dark roasts), I was skeptical. But I did it! As it turns out, dark roast can be smooth and delicious- and it really doesn't need anything! I've been ordering Rusty Dog ever since (and laughed when I asked after the particularly good coffee at Sofra and discovered it was a Rusty Dog blend). I would also like to add that the customer service is excellent. After making an order and receiving 1 whole-bean bag (I don't own a grinder and couldn't use it), I emailed and received an answer and remedy - at night! - within minutes. Incredible!

With a home dining room vibe, there were tables spread out throughout the area. Parking is rather limited but several parked across the street. Great stop.
