The Red Roaster Coffee & Eatery - a cup of coffee and a muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madison, Indiana

I've yet to try their biscuits and gravy, although I've been told many praises about it, not to mention they really seem to hammer it out during 'soup season', a time of year i hold near and dear to my heart. I was addicted to their nitro all summer, and I'm not afraid to admit it. Their caramel salted stuff? oh my gosh. i use it as a treat drink and dessert, and i literally could cry just thinking about it, it's that good...10/10. think i'm exaggerating? i am not. read more

Great spot to sit and enjoy coffee, while taking in the small town charm of Madison..

Great coffee. Cute little shop. Music too. I came in with my hubby for a cappuccino after arriving in Madison Indiana for the first time. Really needed a pick me up. Well it was good so I didn't go anywhere else the whole week I stayed. Each morning I walked down before my workout and got the same and a cranberry orange muffin. It was delicious. Kids liked the strawberry smoothies. Hubby tries a breakfast sandwich that was good too. Nice people too. read more

Only good part of this place is it's location. Service is slow and food and coffee quite mediocre.

Coffee was solid and affordable. The team was friendly with no pressure for gratuity, unlike some franchise global coffee shops which will remain nameless. read more

We stopped for breakfast on our way out of town. The bacon cheddar bagel was very good and the coffee cake was delicious. Their regular roast coffee was just what we needed. Everything clean and service very quick and friendly. read more

Came to the red roaster while staying in Madison. I loved the decor. I'm not coffee buff, so I can't remark on it other than it was good but a little bitter for me. The breakfast sandwich was healthy and light, yet filling. The service was probably the best part! If you're into little adorable coffee shops with their own personalities, this place is for you! read more

In Madison for three days, ended up here four. The family that owns this place seems like they have a monopoly in town (lots of places with "red" in the name to show for it). The coffee was good. They use the "less is more" model. Not a ton to choose from, but they made my drink well and my donut was tasty. They offer oat milk in your latte for $1 and I'm not sure what the upcharge on soy or almond milk is, but my belly appreciates the non-dairy options. Free refills on coffee is a plus for men like my hubby. Very polished feel yet still has a hometown vibe. read more

We had the pleasure of stopping here a couple of times for to-go beverages. This great little coffee shop has the friendliest vibe, cutest decor, and yummiest drinks you'll find. For those of us who can't do dairy, they have soy and almond milk choices. For plain 'ol cuppa joe drinkers (like my husband), they have bold and mild drip coffee choices. The mild, I am told by a discerning palate, was fantastic. The large windows that run along (the very cute) Main Street of Madison provide the perfect ambiance for sitting and sipping your beverage. We felt bummed that we had to get going and could not linger. There were great counter tops with stools for setting up the laptop to work. Their bathroom is large, clean, and well lit. Having fewer stalls that are not cramped is so much better than trying to fit as many as possible into limited space (as is common of other restaurants). The best aspect of this place is the awesome staff. There were at least a half a dozen folks working and each was upbeat, pleasant, and seemed to truly enjoy working together and and providing a great product an experience for their customers. If you're anywhere near Madison, stop by The Red Roaster. We look forward to returning! read more

Centered in downtown Madison, this is the most hipster coffeehouse that you have to start your day at. Forget Starbucks. I don't even know if there's a Starbucks here... but you can get your latte, mocha, macchiato, frappaccino, whatever is your coffee fix at a way better price and quality than your typical coffee shop chain! read more

I come here to work from my computer, and people watch. The baked goods are great, the mango iced tea is great, and the eggwich is also great. However, I'm writing this review in the hopes that management will reconsider an absurd policy. When I get refills on iced tea I am required to get another cup, and I would much rather not create the extra waste. I understand that you don't want to take any unnecessary health risks, but the baristas are taking cash from me that has passed through thousands of hands. It is much riskier than a cup that the baristas don't even have to touch to refill. I could sit my cup on the counter and they could pour the tea without touching it. Lets save the business a few nickels, and save cups from going to the landfill. read more

We loved this cute little coffee shop while traveling to Madison. The decor is adorable and the coffee was really good! A must try for any coffee lover! I didn't try any of their pastries, but they all looked delicious. So, try one for me! read more

The Red Roaster Coffee & Eatery - First stop in our afternoon adventure. Delish ice coffee and sour cream donut! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madison, Indiana

Enjoyed bagel breakfast sandwiches & coffee. Coffee was well prepared, temperature was good, flavor was enjoyable. Waiting for the breakfast sandwiches was extremely long and there was just one couple that came in after us. Two folks were dining in ... but there doesn't look to be table side service so preparing 2 breakfast sandwiches is just slow-going. We probably waited 20 minutes. A wait is worth it when the food is quite good & I think this place was worth it. read more

This place has the best cinnamon rolls I have ever eaten. Very friendly staff. The only thing I ordered other than that was a black coffee. I may bump to a 5 star once I try some more of their items. read more

This place never disappoints! Every single time we come to Madison we hang out here enjoying their delicious smooth coffee, yummy baked goods and breakfast foods and their service with a smile in their eyes (masks required) and considerate customer service. Thank you for making us feel like locals! read more

Another Red family establishment... Big, clean, spacious interior; nice, polite staff; solid coffee for me, fine latte for the lady; and a pretty tasty little breakfast burrito, which we enjoyed on their sidewalk seating before wandering up and down Main Street. Might even grab another cup before leaving town. read more

Our fourth tourism visit over the years. Great coffee, although the expresso con pana has only a tiny squirt of whipped cream. The flavor of the coffee is superior. Have not tried the food because: low-carb diet people will have simply nothing to eat among their selections. If however, you like plentiful carbs, you'll be rewarded. The coffee is a good enough reason to go here. Not expensive, except for the t-shirts. read more

I enjoyed my afternoon at the Red Roaster. They have the most lovely and welcoming staff. I had tea and a cinnamon roll. Ok tea selection - they could use a spicier herbal tea like a ginger or turmeric. The cinnamon roll was quite lovely. Not too sweet or too cinnamony. It felt a tad overpriced but aren't all coffee shops overpriced? Great ambiance and music selection. I'm in town for a few days each year and could see myself stopping back in. read more

Only been here once and the coffee was real good...the guy behind the counter seemed like I was a bother to him. How dare I have some of your delicious coffee! I'd go back! read more

Nice little coffee shop. Plenty of seating and natural light. I ordered a mango smoothie for the kids and they were happy to split it evenly between two cups. It was a hit with the kids. My husband had an iced coffee that he really enjoyed. We also got a couple of bagels. They only had plain and strawberry cream cheese. They also sell T-shirts but I felt the price was too high at $22. We would definitely stop when we are in town again. read more

Like a lot of places in Madison, IN, the Red Roaster has found an awesome way to reuse and restore a historic space in the heart of downtown and bring vitality back to it. This space has been a coffee and tea company for decades, but the owners of The Red Pepper seem to have pumped a lot of energy into it. The window is a great place to people watch while sipping coffee, and there's a mix of bites and snacks for any time of a day. Plus, though this isn't unique in Madison, everyone is friendly and hospitable. Whether you're passing through or settling in, the Red Roaster is an excellent place to curl up with a cup. read more

Such a good vibe, and the coffee was extraordinary!!! I wish I would have had more time to sit and enjoy the atmosphere!!

A great coffee shop that fits perfectly along the strip of shops in downtown Madison! They also have pastries and breakfast sandwiches (and biscuits & gravy on weekends!) as well as lunch specials, such as pimento cheese sandwiches. I had a nitro cold brew coffee, which I'm a sucker for anytime I see it on a menu. It was so creamy and tasted too good to put any cream or sugar in! I loved the ambiance, the bathrooms were also decorated nicely and clean, and the service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be stopping back in next time I'm in town! read more

In town from Evansville stopped in for breakfast sandwich and coffee. Nice local place good coffee and breakfast

I recently had the opportunity to visit Madison and had heard good things about this coffee shop. I stopped in for a morning latte and was greeted with the normal hustle and aromas I've grown accustomed to. The shop was pretty busy and the line was long but moving quickly. Several patrons were munching on sandwiches and other pastry offerings, all of which looked good. The service was friendly, fast and spot on. With the family in tow, our order consisted of several hot and iced coffee drinks. A great plus to this shop is the patio seating along the sidewalk in the beautiful downtown area. Our coffees were hot and tasty. I like my lattes a little stronger but over all not a bad drink. My wife ordered a iced caramel macchiato and said it was very good. Obviously, because I was not offered any. Being from out of town it's hard for me to comment on the pricing but from what I noticed around town it was on target. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 simply based on the "light" version of a latte. read more

Went here before the current owners... wasn't impressed... just so-so. New owners look at this place as a town-need that wasn't being met and have risen to the ocassion. Coffee here is top-quality and plenty of Starbucks-like options for the non-coffee connosiuer, a bit more than making it at home or McD's, but worth it. read more

What an adorable cafe in Madison. As first timers, we asked for suggestions from the staff. They asked about our preferences and made great suggestions. My husband made a special drink request which they were happy to create. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The espresso drinks are made well. I had a macchiato that was delicious. There ovens are turned off after 7, so we weren't able to try any of the sandwiches. The baked goods looked great, but were a bit disappointing. Mine was undercooked and since the ovens were off it couldn't be warmed, which would've improved it for me. La The space is welcoming and offers a variety in seating. There were several people there working and studying. The wraparound storefront offers plenty natural light which also makes for excellent people watching. If you have a craving for well crafted espresso, I certainly recommend it. read more

I've been waiting for a good cappuccino to come to Madison and it finally has! The coffee is consistently good, they stay open until 7pm and offer breakfast, lunch and snack options. I love the turkey and cheddar sandwich on a pretzel bun. A great place to work, meet friends, write and relax. read more

This place is friendlier, cozier, and full of edible food and delicious coffee. My experiences under the old owners (of Madison Coffee & Tea) were awful; the "Red" owners know their stuff. The inside is warm, bright, and full of Red Roaster gear. Though the Attic is closer to where I live in Madison, I do enjoy stopping here when I'm downtown - usually for coffee, working, or reading. read more

I love coffee but it has to be good coffee. From the time I turned the corner after parking I could smell it. The smell of coffee to me is heavenly. The red roaster has a very good selection. I wish I had taken the time to read all the signs before ordering because I would have tried the autumn blend. Still the coffee I did get was very good. My wife got the iced black tea and we took a stroll down Main ST. read more

A great little coffee shop with excellent service and great prices. Staff is friendly and efficient.

Had frappes here last Thursday. Very nice coffee drink. You can get 20% offf if you ate at the red pepper deli. Stop by when you are in Madison next. You will enjoy this place read more

I was really looking forward to taking my kids for a smoothie, get myself coffee and sit down with them and having a good time. Unfortunately, when we walked in there was hostility towards my young kids by the ladies behind the counter, there was an eye roll as I ordered, and no response to my friendly interaction. The coffee was good and the sandwich was excellent, however, the experience was dampened by the whispers about my kids behind the counter. read more
