Staff seemed nice and well meaning, but inexperienced/unequipped. Published menu had no details, descriptions, or pricing. Was surprised to find that the classic breakfast sammy had vegan cheese and a gluten free “bagel” but still regular egg and sausage. The gluten free “bagel” was chewy and deflated. Food was cold and there was a long hair underneath the pastry that we ordered. Unfortunate because the place seems like it has a lot of potential.

Very eclectic and inviting space, great drinks and food options, and you can pretend you’re in Back to the Future in the clock tower! ;) Joking aside, this has become a favorite stop for my husband and I.

I absolutely love Rotunda coffee and their private rooms that can be reserved for meetings. The staff is always pleasant, even though they are usually one person doing everything! - it's pretty amazing. The coffee is on point, and the teas. I love the affordable handmade earrings for sale! And the high ceilings but classic style of the space takes me out of Madison for a moment and makes this a perfect place to settle in when the days are short, it's cold, and the Midwest winter moves in.

I would take a picture of the spinach feta from Weary Traveler that is served here but I ate them. Both of them. So savory.

Hubby and I enjoyed delicious breakfast burritos with tasty salsa, and really good coffee. We love the ambiance, the friendly and up-beat atmosphere, and the hosts are the best people ever! 😊

Best hidden gem in Atwood. Its amazing atmosphere and the best coffee I've had in Madison. Highly recommend coming here to work remotely or just stopping by for a quick pick me up.

Not open when it says it is

A fun and unique coffee spot that's great for working. I've always enjoyed my coffees / teas, and the variety of pastries and baked goods are a nice little snack to go with it.

Such a lovely space in a great location. The food and coffee was also great.

Cozy spot with great coffee and lots of space to sit and relax or get work done. It isn't noisy but also not awkwardly quiet. It's the perfect level to have a conversation where you don't have to yell or whisper. They have vegan and gluten-free food options and a great selection of coffee and tea drinks. I highly recommend it!

First, I wanna say I love the decorations in this place! All the pop culture memorabilia and posters really make it a nice place to just look around and see what new details you can spot ☺️. Unfortunately that's where my positive comments end. The service took a bit but I could understand since there was only one person working at the time. The pricing is a bit much as well. I ordered a medium chai and a BBQ sandwich which came to a total of $24. This would've been at least understandable if the sandwich wasn't just a small scoop of pulled pork on a roll that was just microwaved. For that price, I would expect at least more than one ingredient ?
