    Front entrance

    Has a cozy cabin vibe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Offers solid coffee and a variety of food options. Service is quick, with orders placed at the counter and delivered to your table. There's plenty of street parking nearby. Although it looks small from the front entrance, the space inside is surprisingly large and offers lots of seating.

    While in Madison for the weekend, Lakeside Street Coffee House became our go-to coffee shop. Open early in the mornings through early afternoon, it was the perfect spot to get our coffee fix! One morning we physically went to Lakeside Street and were pleasantly surprised by the plethora of seating options: 2 spacious seating rooms upstairs and a full seating areas downstairs. The cold brew was flavorful and delicious. We were very happy with its flavorful heartiness! Staff were super friendly and helpful. They made sure our experience was positive from start to finish. This morning we decided to get coffee and sandwiches to go for breakfast. The coffee, once again, was delicious! We shared the Turkey and Chipotle sandwich and Cheddar and Ham sandwich. Both were absolutely scrumptious and I'm so glad we shared them. However, the veggies and chipotle mayo of the Turkey and Chipotle made it my favorite. Lakeside Street was such a great go-to while in Madison for coffee and noms. We'll definitely be back next time we are in town from Chicago!

    Lakeside coffee is one of the best coffee shops in Madison. However, I wouldn't say it's because of the coffee drinks they serve. As a former barista, I have some training in the art of espresso. I have always felt the spro at lakeside it's a bit too bitter and light bodied for my taste. I am also slightly disappointed in the lack of latte art on their signature espresso drinks. However, lakeside has a special place in my heart for many reasons. The ambiance is outstanding. There is such a cozy and homey vibe about this cafe and the service has never disappointed. On days when I have felt low, enjoying a coffee at lakeside has lifted my spirits in ways no other coffee shop has (and I've tried a lot!). Something about lakeside makes me feel a sense of community with my fellow Madison residents, even if I don't talk to anyone else while I'm there. Also, the food is incredible!

    Is there such a cozy, lovely coffee shop. They have plenty of seating, and a downstairs area which I didn't have time to look at. It has a great view of the lake and the capital. The food is delicious, all the staff are super friendly and I happen to be there on a day where the playlist was Lady Gaga making it even better.

    Super cute coffee house! Cozy in the winter, a nice place to sit outside during the summer months. Be sure to check out the downstairs! Perfect place to study or get some work done. I love the pesto grilled cheese, and you can't go wrong with any of the coffee!

    Simple Coffee house vibes! The best part about Lakeside Coffee House is the friendly staff and the atmosphere! They have excellent drinks and you can't beat the views! Their breakfast sandwich... honestly you're better off getting a McMuffin... Just doesn't do it for me. But I'm hoping to be back for a wine night in the summer and try again!

    Always a lovely atmosphere in here. It's nestled right along the edge of Monona Bay (hence Lakeside) and it's the perfect place for this homey café. The service is always excellent. There's always a local artist's art up on the walls, and available for purchase. Oftentimes there's a local musician playing. The patio is amazing. The whole place is pretty big, but not crowded. Still really cozy. There's vintage vibes going on. The food and coffee has never disappointed. Highly recommend as a place to meet up with a friend or to study.

    Beautiful coffee shop with friendly service and delicious food. I had the bottomless coffee and a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. The latter was absolutely fantastic!

    Delicious coffee. A great place to hangout in the summer, there's lots of outdoor seating and a nice eclectic interior. The service is a little bit slow but friendly. They have bottomless drip coffee too, and seasonal lattes and matcha. A nice quiet coffee shop great for reading or work.

    This isn't close to my home so I had never been to this neighborhood coffee shop. I'm glad we tried it. Overall positive experience. Cute setting with the waterfront, lots of outdoor seating and indoor seating and there would be plenty of shade on a sunny day. We waited a while for our drinks but we were not in a hurry. They use Rishi tea which is a favorite and local brand. My London Fog was delicious. My husbands Chai Latte was also good. There isn't a lot nearby it, so most people arrive on foot. Street parking available.
