    Purple Mystical Mountain Tea (hibiscus, rose, lavender, and more!)
    Angela J.

    Love the hipster vibe here long narrow layout intense rich coffee medley aroma when you enter. Hard to miss the baked goods in glass case to immediate right upon. The Purple Mountain Mystic herbal tea is a combination of hibiscus Berry chamomile plus more !

    A spacious cafe with lots of delicious cold and hot drinks. Even when busy it doesn't feel excessively crowded or noisy if you want to enjoy a high quality beverage made with good ingredients. Not great if you're in a rush though because it does take some time to fulfill each order and though the staff works pretty quickly, there's still a high volume of items to create. Though the coffee here is delicious, I do wish that the ordering / pick-up system was a bit more streamlined, because many people may have similar drink orders but it's difficult to figure out when to pickup a drink since the drink name, rather than a first/last name or number is called. Besides the location, one of the other reasons to visit this spot is due to the great vibe inside which is lively with nice decor as you're surrounded by artwork on all sides.

    A real gem for being the last coffee shop on this side of town the prices here are refreshingly reasonable. In a world where coffee shops seem to charge more for less, this one offers great quality without breaking the bank. Their espresso drinks are smooth and rich, and their pastries? Absolutely worth it. The cannolis, in particular, are a standout--crispy, creamy, and perfectly sweet. It makes sense, considering the owners are Italian and clearly take pride in their craft. But what makes this place even better is knowing that every dollar spent supports genuinely good people. The owners are as down-to-earth as they come, always welcoming customers with a smile and treating everyone like family. It's rare to find a spot that combines great coffee, a relaxing vibe, and owners who truly care about their community. The place is a reminder of what makes local coffee shops special, and I'll definitely be coming back again and again.

    Strawberry, Banana, Mango Smoothie

    Michelangelo's is a great coffee shop if your goal is to get work done. The majority of the dining space is tables and chairs, and most of them have enough space to spread out your books, papers, and laptop. However, outlet space is limited so be sure to charge your devices beforehand. The staff is really friendly, though service can be a little slow. I waited about 15 minutes for my beverage and food item and the shop was only at 1/3 capacity. I got a strawberry, banana, mango smoothie with an orange juice base and it was yummy, albeit a bit expensive (over $7 for the smaller size). I've had their chai in the past and it is fantastic. I highly recommend it. The pumpkin chocolate chip muffin I had today was mediocre. Too dry and crumbly for my taste. I'll probably try a different pastry next time.

    While in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, my husband and I stopped at Michelangelo's Coffee House to get an afternoon snack. We got a mocha chiller and a brownie. The drink was very good and the brownie hit the spot. I love the art house vibe in this coffee house. The only negative was that there was no air conditioning on this warm summer day. Because of this, we didn't stay as long as we could have. The servers and cashier were very friendly. I highly recommend Michelangelo's Coffee House!

    Peanut butter mocha

    I stopped by for a coffee after lunch on a weekday. The place was not too busy. I went for a peanut butter mocha latte. Latte was really good. I didn't get a peanut butter flavor. But still an excellent drink. I also went for a lemon blueberry mascarpone dessert item. It was good with some real blueberry on top.

    Go-to coffee on State! Love the large selection of flavors and drinks. The staff is always SO friendly and kind. Tried a sandwich here for the first time and will be coming back for food again!! Also love the bakery / pastry items (especially the 7 layer bar)

    two cups of coffee on a table

    My partner and I stopped here over the weekend to grab a coffee during our stroll around downtown! This place was BUSY!! Just about every table and spot on the couch was full. And shortly after I ordered I could see why! They have great drinks and quick service. Very friendly staff! Their atmosphere is very artsy with a modern flare. I love it! It definitely attracts the young, vibrant and student crowd. Their prices are very comparable to a modern local coffee shop. A bit on the high side... but honestly very comparable. You'll pay $5-6 for a good coffee about anywhere you go. Totally worry it! Their baked goods looked a bit sad all wrapped up, if you're looking for fresh baked goods, I'd go somewhere else TBD. They definitely specialize in their flavors and specialty coffees. For parking, this is right on state street, so parking is tough, I'd recommend parking a bit further and walking... life is about the journey not the destination!

    This is a great spot if you want a flavored coffee concoction. But truly, it was one of the worst cappuccinos I've ever had. It looks like an adorable spot and very college-age friendly. I'm sure the flavored drinks are great. But for regular coffee, please go anywhere else!

    Ham panini and strawberry banana shake

    X great service when walked in. Helped me understand the sandwich options and smoothies. Ham panini was good however wish they had more toppings options. Overall. - good spot! Feels like a cute hang out spot for doing homework if reading.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and made us feel like regulars, even on my first ever visit. I didn't order a meal, but they offer a full menu, plus the baked goods looked delicious. There are art and pottery for sale, made by local artists and a young potter. I picked up two pieces of pottery, for a great price. The art was out of my budget, but was truly stunning! I wish there was a Java Cat in every town. So lucky to have found it on my visit to Madison last weekend. I'll definitely return!!

We split a club sandwich and Husband added a cup of broccoli cheddar to his order and I added a monster cookie. The sandwich was delicious. Fresh ingredients and lightly toasted. The monster cookie was delish as well. So fresh and chewy. You order at the counter then find your table and chat til they call your name to pick up your order. The place was packed. 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.
