Cafe Domestique - Northstreet Coffee Shops • $

Ube Latte

“North Street is an actual gem. What's more to want with coffee, pastry, and beer all under one roof. Well - I do wish that Bloom offered more options similar to their Monroe street location. And I wish the coffee and pastry was open later into the evenings so I could have a pastry with my beer. But other than that the place is perfection! There's plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating in the warmer months. Parking may seem daunting but honestly there's always plenty of street parking not too far.“

“Frequently go there for coffee and a scone or donut. Staff is very friendly and knows the names of many of their customers. There is lots of seating, and there are always people plugged in with their laptops working. It is a very nice atmosphere for a quick take out coffee or to sit quietly and read. I have not been there at night, but they have a large selection of craft beer and specialty brews.“

Jumbo Pretzel

“Garth's is special not only due to their wide selection of rotating taps and large selection of craft beers/seltzers/ciders that you can purchase, but they also allow you to bring in food to eat which offers a ton of flexibility for anyone looking for a relaxed environment to have a drink. There's also a self-serve water/utensil station that allows people to enjoy their meals and stay hydrated effortlessly.I really enjoy coming here with my family to play some board games or just watch the hustle & bustle of Monroe street over a cold beverage. Staff have always been courteous and attentive during my visits, and the place is always very clean which goes a long way in creating a welcoming atmosphere.“

“The beer was great - nice on tap selection - the atmosphere was nice as it is a good-sized pub, 2 piece live duo act on a Friday night, and our female server was attentive, helpful & friendly, even if her attire was more appropriate as pajamas. Brian, another "server," was less friendly and, in fact, could be considered "surly." Aside from Brian, Bierock is a "recommend!"“

He made great beer recommendations, brought a sample that he thought we would like based on our other orders and was super genuine and nice to chat with. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: I appreciate that they have an impossible sausage on their menu! And vegetarian sides! I do not expect to have something to order at a German sausage spot, but was pleasantly surprised!“

Ultimate Grilled Cheese

“Normally I will only eat at the hotel restaurant if I need something quick. I ate here a few nights during my stay. Will who worked the bar was amazing. He was tentative, joyful and talked to everyone. He created a great atmosphere. I ordered a burger my first day. It was juicy and flavorful and the fried were perfection. Today I ordered a chicken quesadilla and I didnt expect much but OMG it was so flavorful, a kick of spice and so cheesy. I will likely order another one before my trip is up. If you are staying at the Sheraton in Madison I recommend checking out the Hub and hanging out at the bar for a while. It's just a nice vibe and food is really good. Complements to the chef.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Wisconsin, and Saturday night once again proved why!! Even though I was alone (my husband passed away last year) and a senior, I received first class service from your bartender Travis all night long (and he was working his butt off behind the bar!) The old fashioneds were excellent, as were my cheese curds and chicken pot pie over biscuits. Tasty grasshopper to finish off the meal. Other customers around me were friendly and engaging...just adding to a terrific day in Madison!!“

We had appetizer's and drinks all of which were amazing. Hannah was the person I worked with for this party and she did a great job making sure everyone had exactly what they needed or asked for. I look forward to working with Hannah again for future events. If you are looking at hosting a party I would highly recommend Hannah and the BonFyre. Tracy H.“

“Hand cut fries and cheese curds were delicious. Decent enough selection of craft beers, lookout for duplicate numbered beers on the beer list, they had two #15s the day I went so I had to choke down a nasty bock in my flight. Service was slow, but still friendly. Lots of tvs for watching Packers.“
